Stubbs out or stick by him?

[RoxburghHibs]

What is everyone's thoughts?

[bingo70]

I'd give him this week

[Diclonius]

End of the season. A new manager will change nothing. We're the only club in Scotland that consistently doesn't get the "new manager" bounce.

[Coco Bryce]

Give him the next 2 games.

[Billy McKirdy]

Another deeply dissapointing result today.
I'll give him to the end of the season, if we don't go up he has to go.

[IberianHibernian]

Though I thought Butcher should have been sacked in about April I don`t think changing managers mid season often works as seen after Fenlon and Yogi left . Next 2 matches are massive ( more so semi now since 2nd place may be gone already ) . If we change , new manager till end of season only then full selection procedure for next season .

[Hermit Crab]

Get him out. Swiftly turning into butchers football and results.

[hibbypostie]

cant defend it anymore time to go

[Keith_M]

This season is a busted flush but I can't see Stubbs resigning now or Hibs sacking him, especially when (in theory at least) we still have something to play for.

I think he'll be here until the end of the season then Dempster will re-asess the situation (i.e. punt him)

[truehibernian]

He certainly won't enjoy the budget he's had last two years and players will definitely leave if we don't gain promotion - that's certain.

His past is in coaching development sides and I'm firmly of the opinion that even if promoted we need to get back to getting youth into the first team and definitely in certain areas. Left and right back need refreshed, we need two out and out wingers or 'dribblers' as they say - and we need a leader who doesn't tolerate losing.

I'd stick by Alan Stubbs as the turn around behind the scenes has been evident and up until last month successful. His last window however will have taught him a valuable lesson in recruitment and destabilising a squad. He's a young manager and he'll lose games and make mistakes - but he's more qualities around him than deficiencies - get behind him is my vote albeit Hibs yet again test our resolve.

[Beefster]

He won't be going anywhere until he's failed to win promotion twice (at least).

[Hermit Crab]

You can wave bye bye to a rush for cup semi final tickets that's for sure. His football and tactics are a shambles.

[Gatecrasher]

I genuinely can't think of a reason to keep things as they are other than the logistics of it all and who would we get in at such short notice?

[CB_NO3]

Where has been the last two weeks? Hiding in the dugout.

[rcarter1]

This is a big challenge for Stubbs. But he could lose all of the remaining league and cup games, and still have a good play offs. As I don't know what the problem with the team is, its hard to say what to do. But unless we have a very experienced man to replace him with, I am totally against sacking him now. If we don't get promoted however, he has to prove he has the awareness of his failings, and the capability of addressing them. If not, I would suggest that it is time for someone else to continue the building process.

Even if we do get promoted, I would want to know he is aware of and capable of addressing the imbalance in the team/formation that is contributing to our poor goal scoring record.

[Frazerbob]

His results up until about 6 weeks ago have earned Stubbs the right to try to turn us round again. As soon as we can't win the cup or get promoted there is a decision to be made, not before IMHO. Win on Tuesday and we're back on track.

He's a young manager and he'll lose games and make mistakes

Which is all very well, but Stevie Wonder can see that his diamond tactics have been sussed - and not to start Boyle after that effort on tuesday is flipping criminal.

I can understand the occasional cock up, but it is his persistence with a system people have sussed out, and the inability to work in a plan B that tells me he is finished.

Mixu must be pissing himself laughing at the prospect of meeting us again - because all he has to do is ask Jim McIntyre how to counter it......and we all know Stubbs will stick with the same pish system on tuesday against a Falkirk team that could sew up 2nd place with a win.

I am ****** exhausted with this crap.

[cabbageandribs1875]

My thoughts as well.

[Waxy]

No point in changing now. At least we cant get relegated.

[TAHibby]

Keep him unless there is miraculously, a capable manager who is unemployed at this stage in the season who has at least some knowledge of the current squad. Saw some on here mentioning Mccall, not sure I can get behind that one when his rangers side had some similar results last season ending in a 6-1 mauling by motherwell. Surely this time Stubbs absolutely has to look at the system he's playing and look to change it, it's not been working for us for weeks now

[21.05.2016]

I'm still for him staying right now but my patience is waring extremely thin tbh. No way should we be on a run like this in this league, loosing to teams like Morton, Dumbarton, Alloa etc. Completely unacceptable. I'm not saying we have a god given right to beat these teams but with the budget, resources and players we have compared to these teams we SHOULD be beating them fairly easily like hearts did last year and the huns did this year.

I like Stubbs and i'm grateful to him for everything he has done for us, can't have been easy coming in to a club at the lowest point in its history and having to practically build an entire team from scratch. He will never have bad feelings from me but if he fails to take us up this season and we are resigned to a third year in this league then I think i'll be questioning whether he can take us any further.

[archiebald]

Stick

[Winston Ingram]

Get rid now. If we don't beat Falkirk the board have to do something.

Surely our board would have learned something from failing to act the last time we went into free fall at the end of the season

[erin go bragh]

Beat Falkirk on Tues and we're three points behind them with two games in hand .
Keek back will be loving this thread :(

GGTTH

[theonlywayisup]

I said Wait until after next two games, but I think it's more likely to be after the Falkirk game. We lose and he should walk.

[Hi Heid Yin]

Stubb's might yet surprise a great many of us by actually getting us promoted, as unlikely as this might seem at this very, very low point. I will save judgment until the dust has settled on our season and we know exactly which division we will be playing in next season.

[Lancs Harp]

To be honest I'm not his greatest fan but I think wait until the end of the season. If he gets us promotion he probably stays, if he doesn't he definitely goes.

He's been well backed, certainly for a club at this level and has had time. Promotion this season is the benchmark for me.

Quite rightly he took the plaudits earlier on in the season but since New Year things haven't gone well, questions have been rightly asked and he hasn't found the answers, that's part of his job and he's failing to deliver.

[Sir David Gray]

It's becoming difficult to defend him to be honest.

We have won just 4 out of our last 14 matches in all competitions, haven't won an away match in the league for over 2 months (6 matches), have just lost to a part time team who were relegated last week and we have failed to even score in 4 of our last 9 league games.

Those stats are completely unacceptable and something has to give if things do not improve very quickly.

If we continue on this run until the end of the season and lose easily in the play offs, I would think a change in the summer is inevitable.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Give him to the end of the season. If he gets us up he deserves at chance in the top league but if he doesn't it would be a reach to justify another year in charge in the Championship.
