Vote to bring Stubbs back to Easter Road

[Carheenlea]

Stubbs in the stand today a few seats in front of Heckingbottom. Would let him take the reigns till the seasons end then take it from there.

exactly what i said in ano thread earlier IMO it just makes so much sense! bring the legend back ASAP plz

[shetlandhibee]

really confused with the 31 that voted no way?? infact wow?

[Bob1875]

Folk saying no, ask yourself look at the type of players he signed and the style of football he played. Any manger who signs McGinn, Gray, Henderson etc surely knows how to play the game. Give him another shot.

following your logic, why didn’t he sign the same type of players at Rotherham or st mirren?

[shetlandhibee]

attractive football nearly allways gave the ugly sisters a good game cup finals galore and attractive football? and wins the scottish cup after 114 years for hibs>? and people dont want to give him a 2nd chance?? staggering, stubbs is the man IMHO

[Johnny Clash]

My biggest disappointment with Stubbsy was how, instead of building on the historic cup win and getting us back up, he turned his back on Hibs for the mighty Rotherham.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Don't understand how anyone can say no to Stubbs ..it wasnt his fault we didnt get promoted as the teams we were up against were far better than us...if he had stayed another season then he would have got us up

Beat The Rangers (regularly) Dundee United, Aberdeen, St. Johnstone, Inverness and Hearts - got to two finals and semi finals and quarter finals, winning the one we most wanted. Rebuilt the club when it was on it's knees. Galvanised the club and built character and fun and signed good players. Gets the club.

I'll happily employ that failure

[Unseen work]

Was at the game today.

Edit: apologies just noticed it had been mentioned

They were skint at the time.

gray was a free, Henderson was a loan in part to do with the Allan sale, Allan himself was a free, so was malonga, Bartley, Fontaine, and probably many more.
hibs paid a fee for McGinn, and mcgeouch was initially a loan then a fee more than covered by the Allan sale.

Hibs weren’t exactly flush with cash when these players signed, we’d just been relegated and experienced protests against the board, season tickets were far lower than now.

I doubt Rotherham were paying much less in wages than we were at that time either.


Stubbs was a success at hibs in that he won the Scottish cup, got to another final, and fared very well against bigger/equal stature teams. It’s also true that he struggled against many teams that we should have rolled over easily, which was his downfall in terms of promotion campaigns (otherwise he’d have succeeded in that too). he presided over some cracking results, and the acquisition of some heroic players. He’s done none of that elsewhere since leaving Hibs.

[H18 SFR]

Not for me.

He failed to get us out of the Championship twice, while both Hearts and the new club beat us to the punch.

Now don't get me wrong, managing us to the cup win was a marvelous achievement. But had we not won that single all important game, Stubbs would be ancient history in our memories now.

We need more than what Stubbs can offer at this level in terms of league performances.

This. He was 10 minutes away from being a total disaster,

His record in big games(not including Falkirk) was decent but he was hopeless at beating the dross in that league.

This is what I'd prefer too 👍
Hecky out, Stubbs in

GGTTH

[Ellahappyhibee]

No not Stubbs for me - we are too misty eyed about the cup. Need an experienced relatively successful manager looking for a gig to re-start his career who can improve players and results. Overseas manager would be interesting. I have no names. But not Jack Ross either.

Nope, disagree with me all you want, but just don't go to the " comfort blanket" of failing to win promotion as your only reason for doing so.
Imo, Stubbs is a good fit at Hibs, if you don't then that's fine, we are all entitled to our opionions, just stop all the promotion crap.

It's a No from me btw

This has been thrashed to death on every one of these Stubbs threads so not surprised there is a good % saying no way. He ditched us and has failed spectacularly at his last two clubs.

Jim McArthur more prominent in the picture. Wonder if he’s in for the job eh?

Or maybe just watching the game / scouting / making a couple of bob.

[Peanut Shaz]

Would a possibility of Moyes and Stubbs as a team work? They worked together at Everton (I think). Stubbs knows the club and could be the stability needed during the transition.

Gave us all the best day of our Hibs supporting lives.

[HibeeHibernian4]

It's sad to see that some posters on here let their stubbornness over calling for Stubbs' head post-Falkirk play-off win out over a man who won us the Scottish Cup, reached the League Cup final and had us playing better football than anything since Mowbray.

He didn't get us promoted in the two toughest second divisions to have ever been played in over a century of Scottish football.

It. Is. Irrelevant.

[leither17]

If he didn’t win the cup his time at Hibs would have been a failure

[PeeJay]

Well, I said no way to Stubbs and for good reason - he isn't that good a manager, we don't need him - he got lucky with the cup thing. I seem to recall he couldn't get us out of the crap championship with crap teams being promoted before us - he didn't do very well after leaving us either - like I said no way! We don't need him: we need better players and a better manager.
