It's almost as if we've got a huge game against Rangers coming up...

[MWHIBBIES]

Boring...

[SunshineOnLeith]

Scott McDermott and Gordon Waddell have clearly just made that up today.

'Here Gogs, did you know Alan Stubbs played for Bolton? Says here on his wiki page...'

'Aye? Say, they don't have a manager at the moment, do they? You thinking what I'm thinking?'

'Belter! But we'll need some kind of secondary angle or it's just too obvious. Who were Hibs playing today?'

'Raith. Wait, we've already got some stuff written about their manager, just recycle that and hit the boozer?'

Tabloid journalism, ladies and gentlemen.

[HibsNutter]

If he can take us to the PL, would Bolton really be much of a step up?

[Michael]

"Exclusive"... all you need to know really.

God, I wonder how they managed to scoop that 😳

[Vini1875]

The McKinnon story probably comes from here. The papers did a number on Raith with the story he was off to dufc. I expect McKinnon to go there. Not sure Stubbs is likely to be in high demand until we are up.

How come no clubs fancy Neilson or Warburton?

[Green Blood]

174million in debt, hardly inspiring!! Glasgow pish as per usual

[fat freddy]

This article reminds me of the reasons why I stopped buying newspapers.

[The Harp Awakes]

We need to get thick skins over the next few weeks. The Hun press will do everything in their power to destabilise Hibs. We should use it as motivation.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

But no stories linking the manager of the team that won the division. Wonder why.

[Stokesy's on fire]

This has to be some sort of poor effort at a wind up.

[poolman]

Scott McDermott and Gordon Waddell........seriously 😂

[DH1875]

How's it an exclusive? It was in the sun on Saturday :confused:

[Captain Trips]

Strap yourself in folks paranoia probably but the best news outcome would be "the rangers" winning the cup. I can see these rags doing all they can to stir up transfers and links galore to aid "the Rangers", probably more so as we are playing better.

[kaimendhibs]

So predictable

[Nameless]

In the lead up to the cup final, here are my predictions;

Stubbs linked to every vacancy south of Gretna.

Cummings wants out.

McGinn is top of The Rangers summer shopping list.

Cummings demands a transfer.

The Rangers want to end Cummings "Hibs Hell".

Then some unsubstanciated drivel exposing naughty hibs fans on social media (if possible linking them to sectarianism).

Warburton has been linked with the Everton job?

I personally reckon the bit about Stubbs to Bolton is true, new owners, he's got a history at that club, possibly quite a similar job to he had here and likely to be within their budget.

Do people really believe papers make up stories just to unsettle the team? Nonsense IMO

[weonlywon6-2]

If we don't go up or win the cup they can have him 😆😆

Cummings has already been liked to Coventry City. They're apparently 'preparing' a £1million bid.


Presumably 'preparing' the bid means counting it first.

BBC Manchester

Northampton's Chris Wilder is Bolton's preferred choice to be their next manager, BBC Radio Manchester reports.
The 48-year-old ex-Oxford manager has guided the Cobblers to promotion from League Two (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35946895) this season, after a series of financial problems at the club.
Wilder is currently on a one-year rolling contract with the League Two side.
Jimmy Phillips has been in charge of Bolton since Neil Lennon left in March but could not prevent relegation.
Wanderers chairman Ken Anderson said on Monday that the club had a shortlist of three managers (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36030395) from applications they had received and hoped to make an appointment soon.
The Championship's bottom side have also confirmed that assistant manager Steve Walford and first-team coach Garry Parker have left the club.

[bingo70]

IF the story is true would you be happy with Ray McKinnon as his replacement?

Not the most exciting appointment but I thought he'd be a good appointment for utd so why not us? If we stay down it probably makes sense to have someone in charge that knows the division.

Doubt it'd get the season tickets flying out the door but if he does well that'd take care of itself.

[ALF TUPPER]

Bolton are a mess. If ( big if ) Stubbsy was to go it won't be there. He won't put himself through that again.

Anyhoo. I don't see him leave. I honestly think he'll stay til he gets us up and has a bash against premiership.

As others have said. Weegie Hun loving press in mischief making sensation before Hibs play them. ( it's what they do )

Nothing to see here folks.

What sells more papers, and generates more website clicks?

'Hibs 2-0 Raith'

'Bolton to swoop for Stubbs, Hibs chase Raith manager as replacement (oh yeah, and they played each other or something? )'

If there was anything to a story like that it would be in the press around Bolton. Two Daily Record hacks do not have 'Exclusive' sources inside Bolton.

Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk

Think we all know warburton is unlikely to be the new Everton manager so I think it's a bit hasty to be calling it a fact.

Newspapers hear rumours, they check them out and they print the story if they think the source is credible.

The idea they have got a vendetta against clubs like ours and risk whatever credibility they've got to unsettle us is just nonsense.

If that was the plan they wouldn't be putting mckinnons name in the story, they'd have just said Stubbs was off and left it at that.

Fact should have been in quotations. It's hard to convey glib, without emojis.

I don't think anyone has a vendetta against Hibs. I do think that lazy, hun loving mouthpieces with a platform to spew their nonsense, never miss an opportunity to unsettle whoever stands between The Rangers and their rightful place at the top of Scottish football. It's almost a backhanded compliment, as they clearly see us as a threat.

I'd assume Bolton would notify us if they were intending to speak to Stubbs.

If we are going to gazump Dundee Utd for McKinnon we will need to act quickly so I think it could be something that's agreed in advance of Stubbs leaving.

Why do you think am a yam when am not a fan of our current manager???

Watch his Hibs TV interview where he talks about how the press portray us - also, he said yesterday in post match interview that he and McKinnon had discussed how both of their views had been twisted.

The press love all this "Hibs are a big club languishing in div 1" stuff - add to that the falkirk story, punching above their weight etc and its happy days for journos.

When so many people are looking for us to fall on our faces, we need to be together.

And no matter how much we do, no matter that we have reached 2 cup finals and are in with a shout for promotion, if we slip up at all, they will say we have screwed it up (or use that jambo phrase discussed on here the other day).

We cannae win (unless we win :greengrin)

So, whatever he says and whatever the papers print - I think Stubbs is playing it just right.

You could well be right, personally I am basing my opinion on what I read on threads / profiles of people who have been booted for the reasons given.

Prefer a good bit of debate or a laugh where I disagree with someone rather than saying "you must be a yam", in fact I think this is the first time I have seen that particular quote.

At times like we are in at the moment it's hardly surprising to see extreme reactions at the other end of the spectrum or is it just fair game to post one line having a go at the manager right now? not for some.

Hearts fans, in general, are papping it of any Hibs success this season and each time we clear a hurdle their seethe and jealousy become more evident.

We have had a successful season to date, our cup runs, semi final of play offs, 2 cup finals, beating premiership sides but any slip up, any thing at all and watch the negative Hibs talk all resurfacing. No one is currently giving us any credit, even some of our own fans but are quite happy to write and comment on speculation and twist any press statement from our club into making us sound cocky etc....it does my heid in

Stubbs may still get us promoted and win the Scottish Cup. However, this poster has said he will "hold the door open" for him on the way out in response to a bs DR article designed to unsettle us. I didn't necessarily think they were a yam, but something like that is always going to provoke a response.

And your first point isn't true by the way. There's quite a few "Hibbies with very few posts" who have "left by mutual consent" with maroon lines through their names in the last few months. The admins are pretty clued up when it comes to strange smells in the room.

For the second time, I never called you a Yam, what I was saying, was the people who get accused of being yams on here invariably respond to said accuser by either having a current ST or have been a hibby for a very long time, standard is over 35 years, or sometimes the response covers both. That is not me calling you a Yam but an observation to what people say when they are accused of being one...but for the sport of it, where do you sit so I can come introduce myself

There's a rumour growing legs that he's away regardless. I obviously have no idea if that is true or not. As far as sacking him is concerned, I suppose the weird one would be if he didn't get promotion but won the cup. I think we would see a split opinion and meltdown of sorts on here if that happened.

[CentreLine]

Please be true I will hold the door open for you Alan

Opinions eh?

What I see is a man who came to a basket case of a club with fresh ideas and a great personality, I see him having worked, with others, to make root and branch changes to get us back on track. I see a club moving in the right direction in an era in Scottish football when a quick fix is well nigh impossible. I see some quality in our team for the first time in many years and a manager (head coach) who seems to work with understanding with the whole squad as well as with the board. I see a team, still being built, in touching distance of the principal objective of promotion and having given us the thrill of reaching two naional cup finals. I see a head coach that has the respect of the players and who I am prepared to cut some slack in the event that we fail to get promoted.

What's not to like?

I suppose I feel that there are many more players that I have watched play for us who I would wish to have seen immortalised as SC winners but if this manager puts a team on the park that wins the Scottish Cup our club will not be able to match the offers he will get from elsewhere and his players will deserve the immortalisation. We have some gems in our squad though and AS has an eye for a player that suggests we will see nothing but addition and improvement. As it stands, from where we were on his arrival, he has achieved as much as most of our past managers with largely inferior squads and deserves our credit and support.

All IMO of course.

[blackpoolhibs]

Do you think he'll leave, even if we get promoted? It would need to be a good offer in England in that case; certainly not the likes of Bolton.

I do think he will be off sooner or later yes. He's not really done anything yet has he, and Neil Lemon went to Bolton and he'd won EVERYTHING in Scotland and had some wonderful European results.

I dont think Bolton are after him anyway, and Everton certainly are not either, but there would be a smallish club maybe with a little ambition willing to take a chance on him should he achieve a cup win or a promotion. (hopefully both)

And Stubbs must know his popularity is getting smaller, and if he got the chance to leave us on a high i think he'd jump at the chance.

174million in debt, hardly inspiring!! Glasgow pish as per usual
Not any more, the debt was written off when the new owners came in a few months ago. That said, money is still tight as we've still got some players on big contracts and look to be trying to live within our means rather than relying on someone chucking cash in to fill the gaps (hence the debt that built up with the previous owner). I was talking to a few of the BWFC press lot on the tube going to the game at Fulham yesterday and there was no mention of Stubbs at all, and he might not necessarily be a popular choice anyway given the circumstances of his departure as a player as I've posted on here previously.

And Stubbs must know his popularity is getting smaller, and if he got the chance to leave us on a high i think he'd jump at the chance.

He's not, but give it a fortnight. That might change.

[poolman]

season ticket holder not a yam... Mangers times out for me am afraid


What's a " Manger "

[blackpoolhibs]

Like Fleetwood Town, caveman hasn't exactly set the heather on fire with them

I wouldn't rule them out should they get rid of that tramp, they have a very wealthy owner? :dunno:

[BoltonHibee]

Holdsworth and Anderson no longer speak, they both have different ideas on who should be the next manager. Whilst the debt was written off at the time of the take over, Bolton do not have a pot to piss in. The next manager will be someone that is not employed at the time as they cannot afford any, and I mean any compo. The Stubbs story is absolute garbage.

[Billy Whizz]

He's hardly done a decent job, saved them from relegation

[pennyhibee]

Yeah very well could be, was just pointing out that Falkirk game could be more valid a reason than Rangers game for an unsettling story, if thats what it was.
Nail on the head .Gordon Waddel ( ?) is a well known falkirk fan and they want to be in the premier league just as much as us Stubbs to bolton or anywhere is no....let's give him more time than Mowbray and M c Leish and he will i'm sure build us a very good team .Anyway it's just another stupid story from the record ,let's all stop bitching at each other . By the way iv'e supported Hibs for 54 years and i'm not a yam:na na::na na::na na:

Not yet, Blackpool could maybe stay up if they win today and Fleetwood lose. Personally i'd like Fleetwood to stay up, it will wind the F out of all these Blackpool fans who thought they were Barcelona for one season and think they should still be there in the Premiership. :greengrin

[s.a.m]

Opinions eh?

What I see is a man who came to a basket case of a club with fresh ideas and a great personality, I see him having worked, with others, to make root and branch changes to get us back on track. I see a club moving in the right direction in an era in Scottish football when a quick fix is well nigh impossible. I see some quality in our team for the first time in many years and a manager (head coach) who seems to work with understanding with the whole squad as well as with the board. I see a team, still being built, in touching distance of the principal objective of promotion and having given us the thrill of reaching two naional cup finals. I see a head coach that has the respect of the players and who I am prepared to cut some slack in the event that we fail to get promoted.

What's not to like?

I suppose I feel that there are many more players that I have watched play for us who I would wish to have seen immortalised as SC winners but if this manager puts a team on the park that wins the Scottish Cup our club will not be able to match the offers he will get from elsewhere and his players will deserve the immortalisation. We have some gems in our squad though and AS has an eye for a player that suggests we will see nothing but addition and improvement. As it stands, from where we were on his arrival, he has achieved as much as most of our past managers with largely inferior squads and deserves our credit and support.

All IMO of course.

Acht......me too. I'm keeping my head below the parapet, though.:hide::greengrin
He's definitely made mistakes, he's far from the finished article, and I'm disappointed we didn't finish in second place. However, when our train crash of a team went down at the worst time in the history of Scottish football to get relegated, it looked to me like a 3yr sentence - many on here thought we were going down again, and heading to oblivion. Obviously, hoped we would manage to get up through the play-offs, but pulling that off is quite a feat, and the odds are against the Championship team. While getting beat in cup finals is gutting, getting there is a huge achievement, and one which benefits the club financially. It looks on here sometimes like it would have been better to sneak out in the 1/4 finals, rather than go all the way, because it would have generated less negativity.

Perhaps I've just lost energy for outrage, but I'm pleased (in general) with the general direction the club and team are headed in, and I like the team again. Mainly. I would much rather we stuck with the rebuilding programme, rather than start again with a new manager, and the inevitable clear-out / bulk-buying that seems to go with. If were Leeann, I'd be wanting to be assured he has a concrete plan to deal with the goal-scoring problem, and that he also has a convincing plan to improve consistency, and I'd be giving him another season. I'd be telling him to keep his mouth shut, though...

Anyways, back into hiding :hide:

Im about the same with this. One irritation from Hibs over the years is when managers play victim. Its a big privilege and very competitive, so heat and kitchens spring to mind. Any manager in the professional game is being paid a wage to maximise their clubs success. Inexperienced managers with ambition should be accepting that they are on a massive learning curve - and that means being open to criticism and embracing outside ideas. For Stubbs and the team - the elephant in the room is lack of goals. Stand up and address this, and our team could be a really great side.

[The_Horde]

Jesus, how many fans do they have? Feels like they already comprise half the Championship refereeing officials.

I work with a guy who grew up with him. Defo a bairn.

Why do you think am a yam when am not a fan of our current manager???

You enjoy your yam hunting

No true Hibby would know how to spell albeit correctly.

I don't think AS will go to Bolton but I do think he will be away at the end of the season.
If he makes our dreams come true he will be off with a healthy looking cv.
If the worst possible seranio occurs I reckon he will be invited to walk before he is pushed.

They are noticeably absent from the likes of the Albert Kidd thread etc.

FWIW, I imagine Stubbs will be off, if the right offer comes in etc. That's a big if though. Failure to get promoted or win the cup, he won't exactly be as marketable. Bolton would be a fair challenge and would suit his family circumstances.

In my view his team has yet to equal the sum of it's parts and there are questions around his ability to blend talent. It's been a steep learning curve and has asked a lot of fledgling coach. The next (hopefully) fve games will decide if he got it right or not, beacuse at the moment there is no definitive evidence either way.

I think he'd quite fancy Bolton.

It's a job that is not unlike the one he has had here - re-building a club from the ground up.

He'd surely be cut a bit of slack because of the disastrous few seasons they've had leading up to this point.

He'll also fancy his chances of building a team on a relative shoestring based on the knowledge he has of players up here. He could get reliable performers like Lewis and McGeouch for what is buttons in English football money.

Stubbs might want to stay for a bit if we go up but we shouldn't delude ourselves about the fact that as it stands we're not even a top 2 club in the Scottish Championship. This is a poor level and if he has any ambition whatsoever won't fancy hanging around for long (and that's before you get onto the family issue).

I can't really disagree with much of this, whether it would be Bolton or not who knows, but he will do what's right for himself and his family if the right offer comes along.

Much will depend on whether or not Hibs can make it up through the play-offs. Not just Stubbs' future depends on that outcome IMHO.

When we were competing with the Huns for the league, it was Celtic. Now that door's closed, lo and behold, it's Bolton. But the Breadman is happily in love with his new job and no one wants him, apparently.

[northstandhibby]

There's a long history of this though, of journos printing nonsense before a big game against one of the ugly sisters, to cause a bit of hassle. You know this is true. So there may be some truth in it, as you said, but the fact that this is so common also means folk are not being paranoid.

They've been doing this for a long long time. Fortunately with the advent of social media fans can state their own opinions. I think big Stubbsy will in due course move on to a club with big money to spend. Based on his stature, his persona when talking with media and very probably has a lot of respect in football for his playing career. However he will do it in the right way when the time is right.

First up he has promotion and the cup to win. :aok:

[Ronniekirk]

The McKinnon story probably comes from here. The papers did a number on Raith with the story he was off to dufc. I expect McKinnon to go there. Not sure Stubbs is likely to be in high demand until we are up.

How come no clubs fancy Neilson or Warburton?

Seems there is more interest in our Manager who has won nothing but has potential and compensation to pay us wont be huge amount
Think the fact he has got us to two cup finals when we are in the championship will mean he will be on some clubs radar
However if he wins us the cup or gets us promoted or both i think someone will come in for him
But Stubbs will only go to a club he thinks can further his career

[500miles]

I'd be gutted to see Stubbs go. He is entirely optimistic, refuses to play the blame game, and sticks his neck out to talk up our club. East Mains sounds like a great place to be, and even with the cup run taking a toll on our league form, there would have been plenty of people who would take two cup finals and a playoff semi over first place alone, and no one with any ambition swapping our season for Falkirks.

If there's anyone I reckon can take over his good work and continue the positive ethos, its Stuart McCall or, as an outsider, Boozy.

[Hibeewilly]

Opinions eh?

What I see is a man who came to a basket case of a club with fresh ideas and a great personality, I see him having worked, with others, to make root and branch changes to get us back on track. I see a club moving in the right direction in an era in Scottish football when a quick fix is well nigh impossible. I see some quality in our team for the first time in many years and a manager (head coach) who seems to work with understanding with the whole squad as well as with the board. I see a team, still being built, in touching distance of the principal objective of promotion and having given us the thrill of reaching two naional cup finals. I see a head coach that has the respect of the players and who I am prepared to cut some slack in the event that we fail to get promoted.

Excellent post CL which I agree with 100%. Stubbsy and his team deserve our full backing at the moment and nothing less. Where all these negatives come from on various threads after the season we have had beggars belief IMHO. AS is on a learning curve and will make mistakes but when you compare our situation now to where we were when he came in well there is no comparison. I just wish the stay away fans would come back and get behind the team - that crowd yesterday (bearing in mind there were 1600 Raith fans there) was shocking for a game of that magnitude. Lets hope it's better on Tuesday

No question we have a tough task to get promoted. But if we do Stubbs will have delivered what was asked of him.

If we prevail in the SC final too, well... Let's just say your calls for him to be sacked will sound absurd. It would make Hibs a laughing stock too - similar to the Yams emptying George Burley.

Its a funny one. Stubbs has done some very good things for the club - particularly in the general standard and spirit of the squad which is massively above where we were. If we get promoted and win the Scottish Cup, then this season will have been a huge success and Stubbs will rightly be lauded and praised for this. However, at that point he will probably have achieved as much tangible success as possible for the club. Of course it would be exciting to see how he then took the team forward in the SPL, competing with Hearts and Aberdeen and chasing more Cups. But it wouldn't be the craziest outcome for him to leave on a high, and for us to draw a line under the whole Championship experience (with that Cup in the cabinet to show the Jambos now and again). With a rock solid core squad, undoubtedly higher gate receipts, a new man with different ideas would be in a great position to build a new chapter for the club. Alan himself would then be able to move on with a spring in his step to a new challenge with a massive tick in the box for his time at Hibs. As long as the board were confident of getting a good manager to replace him, it could be a perfectly reasonable thing for Stubbs to leave by mutual consent.

Question is, why we we want to see the back of a manager that has just got us promoted and a SC win?

EG - the most successful manager in my lifetime id say.

I know what you mean. I don't think anyone would be pushing Alan out of the door in the situation above. Everything would be in place to have a great SPL season. I just think Alan may have reasons to move on, and if he did the club could still continue the progress he has made, providing we get a decent replacement. The club would be quite attractive to potential candidates as it would be in a very solid place.

What did he say? Any link online?

Without hearing the interview I think he will be away too.

Just said he was only concentrating on getting us up at the moment...but stopped short of saying he wasn't going

I think we should be careful of what some wish for

Not good. Especially when we should be building for next season in the next week or so. He does sound scunnered though.

Should the title not be "Stubbsy's off t'Bolton?"

Collins leaving Celtc (just on BBC) - worth a punt? :stirrer:

I'd need to see the six-pack and a few press-ups first but I'm not sure he'd be able to get up and down the park any more.

Surely he would go with?

If he's planning on Bolton on us then I hope he's told the board this so we can go in for someone like McKinnon who my guy tells me is going to be a roarin success in Tayside.

To be fair mate if we don't go up (and I hope to God we do) I reckon Stubbsy would be on a shoogly peg here ...unless we win the cup

Gawd no.......even I'm haunted by the thought of him with a towel round his waist asking people to touch his six pack

Agree totally.

[Dashing Bob S]

No offence to Stubbs, but this move reflects Bolton's desperation rather his success. It's a big time in his managerial life. He either becomes the guy who got Hibs promoted and/or broke the Scottish Cup hoodoo, or failed twice to take a big club out the second tier of Scottish football in face of mediocre opposition, and fell on his face at the ultimate stage in not one, but two national cup finals in a year.

So the next couple of weeks will determine whether we are going 'yes!' or 'gutted', and whether Bolton have a bright young new managerial force who can restore their fortunes, or a dud who failed in Scotland.

There are certain phrases that Alan Stubbs has used consistently in interviews and they include "at the moment" and "at this moment in time"

I watched that interview and got no sense whatsoever (another of his favourites :greengrin) that he's planning on going anywhere

Which just shows how stupid comment on Scottish football is.Nobody should look at a manager taking a team from the second tier of Scottish football to the two main cup finals(beating the second and third in the Premiership on the way as well as a few other top tier teams)as a failure.Anyone who calls the second biggest club in Scottish football,also in the cup final,mediocre is having a joke.

I think Bolton are waiting on Stubbs and it would be a good job for him. They will be hot favourites for league one and he would also be back with his family. I think our board are aware and LD will be talking to someone' I just hope Stubbs leaves as a massive success GGTTH.
