Stubbs Watch

[SJNB Hibby]

Miserable start to the season. Rotherham drew their first match but lost the next two by three goals, and by tomorrow night are likely to be in the relegation zone.
If they get too far behind too soon, he might be the first manager axed, and wishing he hadnt bolted

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

I hope he turns it around! Good manager, just needs time.

[givescotlandfreedom]

He had a tough start with us too so hopefully he can turn it around.

[Northernhibee]

A good manager in a very difficult situation. Missed out on quite a few of his first choice signings.

Really hope he turns it around, in a very small minority of Scottish Cup winning Hibs managers.

[blackpoolhibs]

He picked one of the worst teams he could to go to, wouldn't surprise me if he's punted by xmas.

[R'Albin]

One of the biggest Hibs legends ever but I'm still not convinced he's that great a manager. Obviously he assembled a good team but it was very unbalanced and failed to get us promoted twice. I am glad he left when he did as I wasn't confident that he would take us up.

I just started a thread called Rotherham as this post started so feel free to merge !

Judging by the sounds that were coming out of Rotherham I'm surprised Stubbs chose them. Didn't sound like a team that was on the way up at all.
Akin to jumping out the lifeboat into the Titanic.

I agree with both these points

[Thegreenside]

First manager to be sacked in that division

Good point, he start slowly in both seasons with us. There were good reasons for that, certainly in the first season, but really not what he needs at a team expecting to be in the lower half of the division.

Time's not something that football managers are generally given.

They just avoided relegation last season by the skin of their teeth and they'll have been hoping to improve on that this year. If it looks like they're going to end up stranded at the bottom, he'll get the boot.

Did he have any other opportunities

[Hibby Bairn]

Pretty tough start though. Wolves at home and then away to Aston Villa and Brighton. The latter two should be vying for the title.

So probably 1 point about what would be expected.

Only one---get us pack into the top division

Exactly.

He's also building a squad, having signed 3/4 players in the last week alone. Anyone writing Rotherham off after those first 3 fixtures is pretty foolish.

Plenty other teams having poor starts in that division too

Could have stayed with Hibs? Probably not, as he'd failed twice and another failure could have seriously blotted his copybook. Scottish Cup aside, I'm glad he chose to cut his losses as I'm far from confident that he could have won us the Championship at the third time of asking. Good luck to the guy but he's got his work cut out.

[Ricky Bobby]

It did not seem to be a great career move when he made the move, but maybe he can turn things round. I dont think he will get a lot of time to get it right.

i think he would have breezed it this year...but we will never know - Good luck to him - it is a strange club to choice though...

I don't think so, but i don't really know? I don't think we tried that hard to keep him, perhaps Dempster thought he was not the best man to get us promotion?

[Edson Arantes]

He is a good manager.

[Eyrie]

I think Stubbs moved on at the right time for both us and him, but then chose the wrong club to go to.

[Pretty Boy]

Tough start for him.

I understand his reason for wanting back down south but it was one of the toughest gigs he could have picked in that league.

aye, your probably right. basically a failure at Hibernian.

[O'Rourke3]

While I wasn't surprised when he left - his demeanor on the Sunday on the bus for me said there was issues - as I observed it. While disappointed when he chose to leave it was probably a good time to do so. I'll take no pleasure from any future failure as he gave me at least one great day as a spectator. I can only and will only ever wish him and his teams all the best.








Unless that team is a incarnation or variation of Sevco of Midlothian.

He'd been like that for a few games too.

I thought the club shop had got some new merchandise in when I seen the title.
