[Forza Fred]

If that happens, then surely Moyes would be first approached?

[PatHead]

As long as it is not Stubbsy.

I think they would not go for someone who does not have European managerial experience.

Hope not but he would be cheap by their standards. Even if they didn't papers would love it in the build up to Monday.

[Monts]

With Celtic losing £10m a season without rangers, it might well be beneficial for them to take our manager, given his potential, regardless of his relatively low experience.

[Pete]

I'm sure the board will tell Celtic where to go should they make any approaches. This season is far too important to even entertain something like this.

[Ozyhibby]

Will mean we are unlikely to get any loan deals from them.

I said the exact same. The next few days the media will be desperate to get their hands on anything they can to try and unsettle the camp and if Deila goes then it's the perfect opportunity for them to get the rumour mill going.

The less hibs are in the media this week the better. Keep the press away and get on with preparing the team for the 28th.

Exactly. Leanne and co are not stupid, there's no way they would risk our promotion chances by selling Stubbs.

[HoboHarry]

Celtic will not be approaching us for a first season manager. Brendan Rodgers is available and if they wanted to create a real stir (and really wind up Sevco) they could at least approach the "the special one". He would be too expensive I would think but it would be good for season ticket sales. 😜

[ian cruise]

Part of me thinks the José suggestion isn't that madness.

He knows he's guaranteed champions league every year. Would be a great chance to rebuild his reputation as his last few clubs have let ended well. Every player at the club would look at him like a football God and do what he asks similar to the reaction he got from the original Chelsea team.

There's more chance of Baldy Foghorn being appointed Celtc manager. Or me.

Not beyond the realms of impossibility - I don't think there's any suitable vacancies in the EPL just now so they could even offer him, say, a 4-5 month deal ?. As you say, it would be great for their sales and really wind up the Hun !!!

[SanFranHibs]

Think Delia has been good for Scottish football. He has achieved in two seasons what others have failed to do in a much longer period......a competitive SPL.

Not a chance in hell he even considers them, especially when he has just turned down a team with genuine quality players and potential in AS Roma.

[Hibee87]

Haha does anyone seriously tgink celtic could attract, let alone afford jose? Man u will be looking for a manager soon, and bayern in 5 months time. Moyes would be the obvious choice

Exactly. Leanne and co are not stupid, there's no way they would risk our promotion chances by selling Stubbs.

If Stubbs wanted to go (and he'd jump at it), there's nothing Hibs could do to stop him. It would be an almighty mess.

Let's just hope, Celtic have bigger ambitions than a 1 season Championship manager who's achieved diddly squat. Even if they do, that won't stop the Huns from stoking things up with their media pals. It would be a late Xmas present for the bottle crashers.

Celtic would be a MASSIVE step down for Jose.

The idea of Celtic going for Rodgers is funny enough but Jose??? Its the scottish premiership. Its **** football and no manager of any stature would go near it.

[ian cruise]

I wasn't suggesting that he'd get anywhere near the success he had in his first spell with Chelsea if he went to Celtic. I was meaning more the buy in he'd get from the players.

When Jose was at Porto everyone did evert my thing he said, to great affect. When he went to Chelsea though he had an embarrassment of riches that wasn't the deciding factor in their success. Terry, Lamport, Drogba all bought in to his plan 100% and would have crawled over broken glass for him and the team. He's not had that at inter, real and definitely not this current Chelsea team who look like they were purposely doing the opposite of what he asked.

For what it's worth, I really don't imagine seeing him go the Celtic, there's just a small part of me that could imagine that his ego would thrive off the adulation he would get, not just from fans but from players too, something he'll have found the big stars aren't giving him as they believe they are bigger than the clubs they play for. It's not like he needs the money so cash wouldn't be an issue.

As I said though, purely talking hypothetical. There's pretty much no chance he's going there.

If celtic were to come in for him i doubt he would leave in January. We are in a title fight and I think he would want to stay and try and achieve something. As somepone mentioned, hes not won anything as a manager yet, i'm sure he wouldn't waste the chance to maybe have title winning manager on his CV.

And still opportunity of cup too. I don't see him wanting the job just yet. I'm also not sure that Celtic would be looking at him just now. They've list a lot of fans interest and need a marquee signing to bring them back. I can see them going for someone with EPL experience if they can get them.

As much chance as him coming to Hibs.

[Newry Hibs]

I would think if Celtc do get rid now, they would certainly have sounded out a replacement. Not sure many clubs get rid without someone else lined up.

[Smartie]

I don't think Celtic would want Stubbs yet.

They were burned by the way it worked out for Mowbray - a big success with us, a moderate success everywhere else he's been but a failure at Celtic.

Stubbs has the same feel about him. A former player and showing a lot of promise but still a bit inexperienced. If he'd managed a club in at least the Championship down South he'd have a bit more credibility but I can't see them wanting him yet. We have to remember that The Rangers aren't the only club to suffer from delusions of grandeur through there.

Which is fine by me because imo Stubbs is the real deal. He won't be with us forever but it would be good to see him finish the main job he came here to do - get us back up at the earliest opportunity.

[Since90+2]

Celtic would not be interested in Stubbs at this stage.

We all know how good a manager he is , or could become , but looking from the outside in he is someone who has never managed at a higher level than the Scottish Championship and has never won anything.

As I said though, purely talking hypothetical. There's pretty much no chance he's going there.He absolutely did have that at Inter, you only have to listen to the way Marco Materazzi talks about him and where that squad went after he left to know that. He spend huge money on guys who were ''general'' types and would die for him, got everything out of them for 1 brilliant season and then jumped ship before it sunk. He didn't jump at Chelsea x2 and Real and it all fell to bits in the 3rd season.

The guys at Porto weren't average players who gave everything for him, they were brilliant and many went onto bigger clubs after that season.

If Celtic are interested in Stubbs, you would not see him for dust. Celtic would not hang around waiting for a lower league manager to maybe win some 2nd division when they have Aberdeen a point behind them in the league and CL football / millions at risk. Stubbs and Hibs would be in no position to pick and choose the terms and Stubbs would just have to accept the quadrupling of this salary early. Tough luck.

Would still be amazed if they thought Stubbs was the man for the job.

2 main candidates for Celtic job, Alan Stubbs and Jose Mourinho. :crazy:

I've seen it all now.

It was me that started it and I never said that they would be likely to get him. I stated that approaching him would generate interest and possibly sell some season tickets.

Stubbs has only managed in the Scottish Championship for less than 2 seasons and won nothing. He's not going to Celtic.

That's a very negative way of describing our manager and besides, what had Neil Lennon achieved in management before celtic appointed him?

Could well be Stubbsy in my opinion.

European experience or not he is turning into a solid manager.

Really hope not.:gwa:

Never mind, if they do go for Stubbs it clears the way for us to go for Mourinho.
