should Hibs get Stubbs up for the European game

***livi hibs 1875*** · 11-06-2016 02:07 PM

Could help get the place bouncing and a way to say thanks for the cup.
Or is it a stupid idea

**marinello59** · 11-06-2016 02:09 PM

It's Lennon's first competitive home game, he should be the main man for that one.
The place will be bouncing anyway.

Could always have him out on the pitch beforehand, get a massive round of applause and show him what he could have had if he hadn't preferred to go to some shan wee club.

I'd save that for the half time draw in inevitable home game versus Hearts or The Der Hun in one of the cups. Be played on a Sunday for TV....

Stubbs is gone.

Save him for the HT draw at a derby.

You are right......... it's a stupid idea!

***Allant1981*** · 11-06-2016 02:21 PM

Wouldnt say stupid idea but he decided he didnt want to be here anymore so no thanks

***bigwheel*** · 11-06-2016 02:23 PM

In my view, he will always be welcome back...but let's not engineer him to wave to the fans - he had the chance to continue on, and for whatever reasons he has chosen Rotherham. I'll remember him fondly, but would rather focus on the team and the new management set up.

this. as much as I appreciate what he did for the club, he left us, move on. would be like inviting your ex round for dinner to meet your new girlfriend on the first date because your ex was a good ride.

Shouldn't take bringing a manager that abandoned ship,contradicting what he had been saying the week before....to get us up for a European match.

**Ilovehibs** · 11-06-2016 02:31 PM

No thanks. Focus is now on Lennon. Stubbs doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who would want to do that anyway. He was always understated in his celebrations while with us so can't imagine he would be interested in taking centre stage now, particularly at the beginning of the new man's tenure.

No doubt though Stubbs will attend future Hibs events in celebration of the cup win. Just not right now.

***GreenNWhiteArmy*** · 11-06-2016 02:32 PM

I'd personally love to see Stubbs back at Easter Road for a game whether that's with Rotherham or for a visit.

Granted he didn't get us promoted over 2 seasons but what he took over and what he has left could not be more contrasting. By winning us the cup, that for me gave him a free pass to do as he liked. Let's not forget that for a good couple months before the cup final there was a massive thread on here where a lot of people wanted him sacked. Do we not think players and management read these boards? He had a divided support so he done the right thing and got out.

I'd love a chance to thank him for what he's done. The Mcginn song was getting a bit tedious towards the end of the season and I felt more chants about our manager was deserved

***staunchhibby*** · 11-06-2016 02:33 PM

No thanks.One week he was talking about the new season and then he jumped ship.

**~~High-On-Hibs~~** · 11-06-2016 02:37 PM

His business with us has been concluded. However, if he wishes to attend the game, he is more than welcome to get in touch with the ticket office.

Get used to it. Any half decent managers that come our way will do that.

**chrisski33** · 11-06-2016 02:41 PM

nope unless its for a friendly with rotherham and we beat them 3-0!!

**Franck Stanton** · 11-06-2016 02:44 PM

IF we were going to get previous managers back for the european adventure ..........I would prefer it to be Le God, now he REALLY would have the place jumping, [add a few thousand to the gate as well imo].

**NYHibby** · 11-06-2016 02:51 PM

If you really wanted someone at halftime of that game, I rather have our previous cup winning captains. Have Rob Jones walk around and take a picture with David Gray, maybe have Lewis in the picture, etc...

**Pete** · 11-06-2016 03:00 PM

Erm...no.

***gazzag70*** · 11-06-2016 04:03 PM

Stubbs will always be warmly welcomed back however it is far too early for his return.We have moved on and Lennon is an exciting appointment and now must have our full support.

***danhibees1875*** · 11-06-2016 04:06 PM

Stubbs can PATG for this one. Since he's the cup winning manager I'll allow him to skip the loyalty points system though.

Time to focus on what Lennon can do for the club.

**7 Up** · 11-06-2016 04:08 PM

Stubbs is the manager of another team now.

He's moved on and so should we.

***Spike Mandela*** · 11-06-2016 04:12 PM

He'll always be welcome at ER just shouldn't be the the focus of attention at this one nor do I think he would want to be.

***Carheenlea*** · 11-06-2016 04:16 PM

Alan Stubbs will forever be welcomed at Easter Road, but wheeling him out in front of us on the pitch would simply be awkward for Neil Lennon.

**Roxyhibee** · 11-06-2016 04:26 PM

Jeezus Christ no man.! Love Stubbs for giving us that day but Lennon is far more important now.

Let him come up and draw the Half Time Hibby later this season once Neil has clinched us the Championship title.

***Golden Bear*** · 11-06-2016 04:32 PM

We used to say "In Stubbs we trust" and I'm sure he'd consider it to be entirely inappropriate for him to even consider a return visit so soon after his departure for pastures new.
