Rotherham Advertiser say they've spoken to RU chairman Tony Stewart who has agreed 3 year deal with Stubbs.

Looks like he has informed LD of his intention to leave and taking his coaching staff with him.

Once again, another Pre-season of 'Transition' ahead!! When will we ever go from 1 season into the next without losing our manager or significant members of the playing squad??!!!

As much as he delivered the Holy Grail and will always be in our hearts, I've never been convinced that Stubbs has been the man to deliver the more prosaic but essential goods - getting us back into the top flight. Against Hearts and Rangers in head-to-heads we've established ourselves as a more talented and successful side. But we were a big distance behind both in monstering the weaker teams in that division. There's nothing to suggest we'd be any more effective under AS this time around.

I think we'll see somebody in who isn't frightened to hit quick balls into strikers (preferably from wide positions) and hopefully run over teams more convincingly.

So thank you Alan, but better to leave a legend on high, than risk (for him and the club) the possibility of being a three-time-loser who lucked out in knockout comps. That would do neither party much good.

.........,.. And probably all the information about the players they have been well paid to sus out for us next season. Mind you, I doubt if any of them will be good enough for the English Championship so he might have done the decent thing and left it for his successor. Anyway, thanks for the Scottish Cup, pity you didn't quite manage to achieve your more important objective, but that's football for you. :greengrin

Such is life with hibs.

The only consolation is that we have hopefully moved away from the 'rip it up and start again' nature of these upheavals.

We require a good head coach to fit in with George Craig and the current set-up and continue the good work that has been done.

This. I honestly think he is leaving before he is pushed. I think he would fail to get promotion again. He never changed his game plan and it clearly failed abainst weaker opposition for 2 full seasons.

leaving a hero is better than getting sacked...

Good luck to him at Rotherham and any other future endeavors. He came in after the disaster of relegation, when the club was on its knees and at an all time low. He built a team just about completely from scratch and made some fantastic signings. So refreshing having a manager who brings in quality after being used to managers bringing in nomark journeymen. He clearly had a good eye for a player. Once again we had a team playing good football (much needed after the eye-bleeding hoofball we had to suffer under Butcher), winning games and he brought back a great team spirit and built a team of guys who wanted to give everything for the cause.

4-0 hammering of the huns at ER
The 2-0 beating of hearts to spoil their "party"
The last minute SC comeback at tynecastle
Finishing the tramps off in the reply at ER
Semi-final victory at tynecastle
The semi-final against Utd at hampden
and of course the ultimate, beating the huns in the last minute to FINALLY get our hands on the SC


Just some of the great memories you'll leave us with. Thank you for the best day of my life the other week at hampden, it will long live in the memory of hibs supporters and you will always be a legend because of it.

Thank you and good luck.

Good luck to a club legend. I would rather remember him for the Scottish cup final win than possibly 3 failed league promotions. Though he could have left with a cup and league win..we will never know !


His Derby record was also positive and caused many a cup upset.

Strangely he lost about 8 games to really poor teams this season in the league (which for me isn't acceptable).

Will be interesting to see who they bring in next - hopefully someone who is good enough to win the league in their 1st season in charge!

Delivered the Holy Grail and can't be thanked enough for that.

However, I personally think it's a huge step down and he's doing himself a disservice by not only not staying at ER to finish the job he started, but also jumping at the first job that came his way when arguably much bigger jobs could have come along his path.

That is a great point to make. Still have the main body of a good squad for next season and the feel good factor of the Cup win is a high point to depart on.

Well done Stubbsy for the Cup and best wishes. Don't you dare come looking for Super John McGinn though.

I dont know the facts but a 3 year deal will probably be worth 450k to Stubbs. Even if he gets punted after 18 months he is looking at 300k in his pocket. Rotherham also have a turnover of 11 million. This year they are predicting it to be 14 million with the increased tv package. Dwarfs everything in Scotland outside the Old Firm.

Good luck to him. It's just a shame that he's chosen such a diddy club based in a dump of a city over us. But I guess it's not Rotherham that's the attraction, it's who they will be playing against next season. That, plus, if he manages to achieve mid table mediocrity with them that will be enough to get him something much more glamerous.

RoYO!
31-05-2016, 05:13 PM
would have loved a little more loyalty and it feels like the job is half done, but we are an attractive club to a lot of managers and I trust in LD to make a sound call.

The Scottish cup will live long in all our minds and hearts though. So for that, thank you!

I find it a crazy move to be honest and one that'll come back to bite him big time. No hard feelings here either but strangely enough I'm neither up nor down with the news.

I'm normally gutted when we have lost our manager, ie Mowbray, I cried when I heard that news. Hopefully we get our new man in ASAP

Agree with this disappointed in him jumping ship at 1st job that came along...and not a great one imo. However we move on and hopefully get someone in who can break teams down in this Division, which was always the weakness in Stubbs' style of play. Thanks for the memories Stubbsy but I think you will regret this move in the not too distant future.

You've presided over two years of massive upheaval and change and have helped restore a lot of lost pride to this football club. You must have your reasons for moving on and i cannot imagine any Hibs fan begrudging you the opportunity to challenge yourself in the championship or to be closer to your family.

Thank you for everything, especially 21/5.

You came in as a King, your leaving as a Legend.

I'm disappointed in his decision as I felt he had a job to finish at Hibs in winning promotion back to the Spl. That said one door closes and another one opens for the next guy in trying to carry on the momentum of the Scottish cup win. Attacking football not reliant purely on the full backs please.

Excellent post though I would have added finishing above The Rangers for only the 3rd time in 60 years. His main achievement however IMO was to take a completely demoralised team & club & turn them into a harmonious group who finally delivered what we had all thought was only a dream.

As much as he delivered the Holy Grail and will always be in our hearts, I've never been convinced that Stubbs has been the man to deliver the more prosaic but essential goods - getting us back into the top flight. Against Hearts and Rangers in head-to-heads we've established ourselves as a more talented and successful side. But we were a big distance behind both in monstering the weaker teams in that division. There's nothing to suggest we'd be any more effective under AS this time around.

I think we'll see somebody in who isn't frightened to hit quick balls into strikers (preferably from wide positions) and hopefully run over teams more convincingly.

So thank you Alan, but better to leave a legend on high, than risk (for him and the club) the possibility of being a three-time-loser who lucked out in knockout comps. That would do neither party much good.

I don't think it requires a crystal ball to come to that conclusion, far bigger clubs than Rotherham would have come his way if he stayed with us imo. He will be losing the vast majority of games with Rotherham and can't possibly hope to win anything with them.

He might just well be looking for financial stability but hey ho, good luck Stubbsy, you'll need it.

Realistically, he was 11 minutes away from being sacked and costing us compensation. Those 11 minutes got us a Scottish cup ad 120k. They also got him legendary status and my sincere best wishes.

We shouldn't rush into a new appointment, but hopefully we've already given this some thought (LD has surely been aware this was a possibility for a while and has planned accordingly) and are ready to make the necessary changes.

This rollercoaster of a season had one final swerve on it for us at the end!

Not really a problem as we need to take a step up. Very grateful for the cup but the league performances are just not good enough. Third place in the second league may be our worst ever finish.

So, thanks a lot and cheerio!!

My worry to be honest, can't afford to be dicking around again in pre season. Need to be starting all guns blazing.

Last two teams to win the league had new managers. Plenty time just now to get in and get started.

Having a manager in place didn't stop last pre season and start of season to be a bit of a shambles. Allan didn't help but other things weren't right.

Good luck to him at Rotherham and any other future endeavors. He came in after the disaster of relegation, when the club was on its knees and at an all time low. He built a team just about completely from scratch and made some fantastic signings. So refreshing having a manager who brings in quality after being used to managers bringing in nomark journeymen. He clearly had a good eye for a player. Once again we had a team playing good football (much needed after the eye-bleeding hoofball we had to suffer under Butcher), winning games and he brought back a great team spirit and built a team of guys who wanted to give everything for the cause.

4-0 hammering of the huns at ER
The 2-0 beating of hearts to spoil their "party"
The last minute SC comeback at tynecastle
Finishing the tramps off in the reply at ER
Semi-final victory at tynecastle
The semi-final against Utd at hampden
and of course the ultimate, beating the huns in the last minute to FINALLY get our hands on the SC


Just some of the great memories you'll leave us with. Thank you for the best day of my life the other week at hampden, it will long live in the memory of hibs supporters and you will always be a legend because of it.

Thank you and good luck.

Very sad to see him go ..... I was convinced he would do it next season and as far as I'm concerned the last thing I wanted to see was us enter yet another season with yet another new manager.

Contracts or not it may well influence certain players decisions whether or not to stay at Hibs, Cummings and McGinn being cases in point, a player like McGinn, who might have stayed at least another year under Stubbs might be more inclined to push the club to let him go if an offer were to come in. With Henderson highly unlikely to be allowed another year with us by Celtic and Stokes definitely not that's another two in doubt and to be honest Hanlon ( out of contract ) is another.

I just hope that Hibs much vaunted plans for continuity that will not be disrupted by a change of manager has had time to kick in .... though I fail to see how there cant be some of that if Stubbs takes his whole backroom staff with him.

Whatever the future holds ........... I wish Alan Stubbs all the very best of luck in the future, he will FOREVER be a Hibs legend and if the day he kisses Leeann on the cheek and walks out the door we name the east stand after him I for one will be all for it.

I always thought his let down was attacking (we did not score enough goals Against the smaller teams in the league)

Gave us a lot of good memories and even though I want to dislike him for the lack of loyalty, who can blame him? Probably wants to go home to his family probably felt he has taken as far as he can.

Spoke a very good game and always liked hearing his interviews.

Realistically, he was 11 minutes away from being sacked and costing us compensation. Those 11 minutes got us a Scottish cup ad 120k. They also got him legendary status and my sincere best wishes.

We shouldn't rush into a new appointment, but hopefully we've already given this some thought (LD has surely been aware this was a possibility for a while and has planned accordingly) and are ready to make the necessary changes.

This rollercoaster of a season had one final swerve on it for us at the end!

As much as you are right, the two cup finals added so many games it took its toll on the players. I still think if we'd lost early rounds we would have gone up through the play offs.

Fair enough, I stand corrected in that case. But I still think that without the cup, the atmosphere wouldn't have been good for him to be part of and I don't think he'd have stayed much longer unless we got off to a phenomenal start next year.

I don't think it requires a crystal ball to come to that conclusion, far bigger clubs than Rotherham would have come his way if he stayed with us imo. He will be losing the vast majority of games with Rotherham and can't possibly hope to win anything with them.

He might just well be looking for financial stability but hey ho, good luck Stubbsy, you'll need it.

More nonsense,give him a chance eh, he took us a championship club to the cup, he will be judged by Rotheram in achieving his targets what ever they are,to write it off as a daft move is nonsense.

Excellent post though I would have added finishing above The Rangers for only the 3rd time in 60 years. His main achievement however IMO was to take a completely demoralised team & club & turn them into a harmonious group who finally delivered what we had all thought was only a dream. Thanks Alan & good luck for the future.

Totally agree. The morale at the club was rock bottom after relegation, it was a dark time in our history. Despite a monumental task he had on his hands when first coming in, he was one of the key figures in reviving the club and bringing the feel good factor back. He gave us back our back our club and brought back some pride.

Maybe your rite the Scottish cup more than makes up for it of course.

However I'm neither saddened or happy to see him go, I think a 3rd season at hibs would have defined his credentials as a manager, he still has a lot to learn in my opinion and next season would have indicated if he learned from his mistakes or not... he's jumped at the first opportunity so we will never know.

The jury is still out in my opinion however I suppose he is still young and his man management skills seemed impressive.

Disappointed. Angry. Let down. Kicked in the teeth. Stabbed in the back. Any other cliche that matches these.

Loyalty means nothing these days. Especially in football. Hate it when someone doesn't finish off what they were tasked to do. His objective was promotion in 3 years. He hadn't achieved it but the Cup win softened the blow this year. For me it takes a wee big of the gloss off the Cup win.

Not only has Stubbs gone but as has been said previously, watch the exodus of players now who had bought in to the Stubbs plan. A lot of them wil feel all of the emotions listed in my first line.

I'd have been happier in he went AFTER we got promotion, or God forbid we failed again next season, and would wish him luck if he did go then. But now is wrong for us. Right for him? We'll see.

If you are talking about Stubbs...

Based on evidence from past two seasons, rather than hearsay, Hibs have backed him and given him everything a reasonable man could have expected. Biggest and arguably best squad in this division. His back room team and support from a new footballing department. Held our nerve after disappointment at end of his first season.

He also did well for us. Great eye for a player, on the whole, and restored professionalism and pride to our football.

Good luck Alan, John and Taff. You did good.

Stubbs is a family man and I reckon a big part of this decision is to get closer to his family. Rotherham is a lot closer than Edinburgh and if I was him I would want to do the same. John Doolan will want to be closer to his family too as his father passed away just a couple of weeks ago and his sister in law is also battling cancer.

I wasn't glossing anything up, was just being factual. I agree his record versus some lower placed clubs was not the best. However, we don't know if he applied for the R job previously, the Rotherham Chairman is quoted as saying AS lost out to Neil Redfearn. Based on what AS said at the Hibs Club at turn of the year I suspect he was approached by Rotherham rather than other way round. All I can say is I've seen us lose 3 cup finals by 4 goals & seen us relegated 3 times but I've never seen us at a lower ebb than we were when AS took over. IMO we owe him a great deal for turning our club around & for giving us all the best footballing day of our lives.

Finishing above sevco managed by Sally McCoist with mosni, zaliukas, mcculloch, Ian black and Kris Boyd in their squad was not a big achievement and will not be remembered.

I doubt he gave much thought to your feelings before leaving, rightfully so as well.

Clearly not. But I reckon Its ok express them, if that's alright with you. Last week he finally showed he can be a winner. So, in my book, not a good time to jump ship. To Rotherham?

Sorry, Im not feeling as generous as some here. I think he's slapped us in the face at the time of our greatest glory. He's taken a bit of the shine off it. I've lost respect for him due to that.

I'm really disappointed too and kinda feeling the same. But I don't want anyone at hibs who doesn't want to be here, and after everything that's gone on in the past 9 days- he didn't want to stay.

All the best to him, he delivered the holy grail and I'm still feeling the buzz. He also vastly improved the awful squad he inherited and cleaned up the mess TB left behind. However history will remember him for one thing only and he'll rightly be considered a legend at the club.

That being said, if we lost the cup final I would have been a lot less bothered about him going and I'm still confident we can win promotion next year.

Surprised he chose to move to Rotherham though, he's better than that. Feels a bit like we've been dumped for a minger - Alex Neil went to Norwich ffs.

I wasn't glossing anything up, was just being factual. I agree his record versus some lower placed clubs was not the best. However, we don't know if he applied for the R job previously, the Rotherham Chairman is quoted as saying AS lost out to Neil Redfearn. Based on what AS said at the Hibs Club at turn of the year I suspect he was approached by Rotherham rather than other way round. All I can say is I've seen us lose 3 cup finals by 4 goals & seen us relegated 3 times but I've never seen us at a lower ebb than we were when AS took over. IMO we owe him a great deal for turning our club around & for giving us all the best footballing day of our lives.

Wish him well, but the cup is likely to be the summit of career. This league is a big step up in quality and pressure.


Yep and retrospectively looking back at the cup final and parade footage, you can see he knew he was leaving.

If he gets RU challenging at the top of the championship then fair play thats an incredible achievement.

But, unfortunately if i suspect, he won't then i bet he will look back and wish he could have enjoyed the cup win a bit more without knowing in the back of his mind he was leaving.

Stubbs clearly isn't committed to us, so I'm not fussed about him going despite winning the Scottish Cup. I'm more interested in getting the right replacement and keeping Hanlon.

Knew he was gone as he has been sprouting nonsense all season, and the minute we win the cup & we're in Europe- he's silent. Bet he's had this planned for a while. There is no way that today was the first time he's spoken with Rotherham.

Feels like a huge slap. Bet the players are gutted. But life goes on for us hibs fans...

:agree: nothing could possibly take the shine off 21 May 2016.

This is actually the best outcome for all parties; the players won that Cup for themselves - we need a manager that can get a team on the park that will be "at it" against the likes of Alloa and Dumbarton, can instil the discipline required not to chuck soft goals (esp in injury time) and has the nous to make tactical changes before the 87th minute. He would not have got us out of the Championship next season. This way, we will get a manager who can, plus plenty of money to invest in the squad.

I'm more concerned with the timing of it than anything else, we were led to believe that he had new players lined up so was that the reason some of the squad have not had an offer to resign ? Now we have to find a new manager who will want his own squad to suit the type of football he likes all within a few weeks ! I would not be surprised if the board had known for weeks that he was going and that they have a succession plan in place for the next manager.

Timing stinks and honesty could have allowed the club to accelerate plans. We need head coach by Friday next week latest probably and making right choice in that time will be horrendously difficult. Stubbs was going and hopefully as you say club have known and kept it quiet. I hope we go foreign or at least show our intent. Bit part managers to get us promotion is not what we need. We need stability which is something this club looks like never having.

It never fails to amaze me how much nonsense is said in the name of rumours. Jason has a year left on his contract and super John 3 years so anybody interested in buying either will need a few million to get them. If and when hibs get a bid for either then we can look at it but lazy nonsense about going along the m8.please. Mind you I heard a rumour McGinn was going to Celtic and Scott Allan to er plus a million. Lol. It's easy this rumour game.

I'm sorry to see him leave at this juncture, as I feel he could have achieved more, so winning himself a bigger gig than Rotherham. However, he can now leave on a massive high and he takes the best wishes of the Hibs support with him. A top guy who deserves future success, though I think he'll have a tough job on his hands. Very best of luck, Alan; you'll always be welcome at Easter Road as a Hibs legend.

For the future, I think we must look forward, not back. No McLeish, Mixu, Yogi or Collins for me. I think Paul Lambert would be a great appointment if we could get him.

I hope it's as simple as Stubbs wants to be closer to home and wanted more money.

The players are back in 3 weeks and we need to get someone in plus probably some new back room staff.

The last 2 seasons our off seasons have had disruption so this needs to settle down and get players resigned and new players added.

You wonder if Stubbs was still looking at players or will that be someone else's job incase the manager left ?
