Think we should have a thread to forward to him at Rotherham seeing as how we couldn't give him a proper send off knowing he was away.

Thank you Alan, you took over a shambles of a football club and gave us some cracking players, great memories, an unforgettable day in the cup final and you leave us as a legend. You're always welcome back at Easter Road and then some.

Don't take McGinn off us, mind.

He had 2 attempts to get us promoted and didn't get us to any of the final games of the playoffs.
That was his main job. Get us out of this rubbish league but we have another season in it.
First hint of another job and he is off.

What you've done to turn this club around will never ever be forgotten. We were at rock bottom when you took over and you've managed to build a time we can finally be proud of again and lifted the club.

Thank you for the best day of my life on 21.05.2016. You will forever have legend status at this great club :thumbsup:

Yes we do.Thank you Alan Stubbs. For leading us to win our first Scottish cup for 114 years. Only two previous Hibs teams had won this 1887 and 1902 and you stand beside these players and each and every one of your 2016 team as a Hibernian legends.You took us Hibbys to an emotional height we never new existed. All the best in the future and your welcome back anytime.

Right.

Well clearly the euphoria of the cup final is wearing off for some people already.

He was manager when we finally won the cup. For that day alone he deserves our thanks surely?

Thanks for the cup win, thanks for giving us a bit pride back, thanks for a good record against Hearts and thanks for building a side who on their day could ba great to watch.

There were negatives as well of course but there's time to discuss that in the future. Alan Stubbs is a Hibs legend and I hope in time he can be brought back to ER, preferably at HT v Rangers or Hearts, in the future so we can thank him properly.

Thanks for the memories!

When you joined we were at an all time low after relegation, no squad to speak of and a massive rebuilding of not only the playing squad but backroom team along with Ld.

You brought us players like McGinn, McGeoch, Stokes, Fyvie, Henderson. Players who brought us great football and weren't afraid to take on the Premiership teams or the Rangers and a team that turned up in the Derby.

21st May will live long in the memory as will the parade.

Two key things highlighted by the goalscorers that day. You kept faith will Stokes as he built form and sharpness.

Second - Gray your first signing encompasses how you're teams play. Never giving up and plenty desire.

The play offs are a lottery but the only failure of your tenure was to learn how to beat teams who sit in and counter attack - Dumbarton, Alloa and Falkirk.

Wish you all the best, my only fear now is you may want to take more Scottish Cup Winners with you.

All the very best Alan ....... I know I will never ever again feel that explosion of joy at a football match I experienced when the final whistle went at Hampden on 21/05/2016 ... for that you have my never ending gratitude ..... you are and forever will be a Hibs legend.

I hope you get Rotherham promoted, I hope you give the Rotherham fans a moment of utter joy like the one you gave us ...... but even if you do that mate, even if you win the league by 20 points ..... they will never ever be Hibernian football club .... you have gone to a better league mate, but never in a million years to a better football club.

I mean no disrespect to Rotherham by they way .... the message would be the same if you had gone to Man Utd.

We were at our absolute lowest when Stubbsy arrived. A total shambles on and off the park.
He's left us still in a league Hibernian should not be in BUT he's also left us in a much better position for the next man to take us forward.

Oh aye, there was also something about winning some cup or other?......😂

I'm not one of the number happy to see him go but at the same time I'm far from devastated about it. Sometimes relationships just run their natural course and it's time to move on for the betterment of both parties involved.

But remember Alan, we'll always have that day at Hampden ;-)

The euphoria of last saturdays cup win will always stay with me. It was so special and surreal to sit there and watch it all unfurl before me.

I thank Alan and his team for that moment and for coming in and rescuing a sinking club from ruin.

I wish you every success in your next post and hope you find the challenge as interesting as ours was.

Although i wish you luck i cant help but feel that you are leaving a job that is half done! Your objective was to get us into the premier league where we belong. You asked the fans for loyalty and that you got. Other than family reasons i cannot see how Rotherham are a bigger club than the Hibs.

You brought players in with a promise of making them better players and leave them behind after their greatest moment in a Hibs jersey.Granted the loanees you brought in were perfect for the dream you asked us to believe in,and they gave us everything.

They now leave to go back to their parent clubs and you go south with your team. I just hope this does not take the heart and guts out of those left behind.

Ive no preference at this time for a new manager but i am hoping whoever comes in carries on the good work you have done and gets us into the premier league. You leave us a Hero and quite rightly so but you leave behind some very disappointed Hibs supporters too.

I personally thought we'd found a manager we could believe in, after all the changes we had before you came.
Life goes on, they say and it will. Hibs will be bigger and better and we will get out of this league!

I thought that we had found a manager we could believe in at last, one who would be with us all of the way

Thank you Stubbsy, you gave me the best day in my footballing life (which will never be topped) and for that you have my eternal gratitude. You leave Hibs as a legend.

It is a shame you have left at apparently the first real opportunity and left us in our promotion battle, however due to the above, I will maybe let you off :gwa:

Alan Stubbs - you need to realise that your name will now be remembered forever whenever people talk about Hibernian FC.

You brought in some excellent players and also brought the feel good factor back to the club. You gave us some great results - 4-0 against Rangers, the league cup games against Aberdeen, st Johnstone, Dundee Utd.

But more than anything else, what you gave us in the Scottish cup this season will simply outlive all of us. You gave us something that previous generations of Hibs fans were unable to experience and I got to be there with my son and my dad. And for that I will be forever grateful.

I hope you go on to do well in England. You will always be welcome back at Easter Road tho. All the best Alan.

Rotherham, might be in championship down there but it's a never has been never will be, who gives a flying F club.

Failed twice to get out of a league where almost half the clubs are part time, unacceptable.

See him lasting about 6 months.

Alan Stubbs turned our football club into a football club again, big style.

Legend - you now can't talk about Hibernian history without his story. All the great managers of the last 114 years didn't do what he achieved. Looking at it over his career the day the Hibs fans cheered him back into playing football after his illness whilst playing for Celtic played a part in him coming here, in my honest opinion. So I'll never forget him pointing toward the Hibs fans at Hampden and dedicating the Cup to us. A true story of sport and passion. Good Luck, whoever suggested he comes up for Lewis's testmonial gets my vote. Give a wee send off and a sing song.

You came to this club when it truly was on its knees. We had practically no players and the whole club was rotten. Not only did you bring in quality players you built up a great relationship with most of the Hibs fans.

To reach two of our national cup finals and win the Scottish the one everyone wanted was something very special. So close to the double as well! Sadly those cup runs more than likely kept us down in the end but would I swap that feeling of last sat for a play off win?.........NO CHANCE.

Thank you Alan from the bottom of my heart, you ended the jinx and brought pride back to Hibernian Football Club.

I don't know what it is. But I honestly find it really hard to part on good terms.

Without a doubt I've honestly never felt happier in my life as I did after the final! But, I kinda think that was circumstance as in 92nd minute winner.

I admit I wanted Stubs to leave after the failed promotion push. And I was wrong. So wrong.

Seeing him talk after the final about signings he had lined up and going for the league next season, I was SO ****ing excited!

Makes you realise. He is just another manager who will come and go. That's Scottish football for you.

I just pray to god we hold on to our best players now Stubb's has bailed.

I don't even want Rotherham to be a success. Probably bitter as ****,but I think they're ****!

100 games is a nice figure to end on, I remember one of the first, down at Innerleithen in a pre season friendly. We'd just been relegated, Butcher had emptied the dressing room, you took over and made a patchwork team from the bits and pieces left lying around. 90 odd games later you bring us Our Holy Grail. Please leave the secret ingredients for our next manager. Cheers

I thought that digging a result out at Inverness when we could have easily folded after the Ross County game was a highlight of his time with us. It led to the day of days at Hampden and I will always be grateful for that. Who knows what's going on behind the scenes that may have forced his hand. I was told weeks ago Hanlon was offered a very poor package if we stayed down. I wish him well but let's get right behind the new man and start this coming league campaign with a bang and not a whimper as we did last season.

The fact that he has resigned must mean he is in breech of his contract. In the past when managers walk out on clubs they can't sign for another club. I look forward to Hibs take on this.
