I personally don’t see why some people can’t praise Stubbs without getting a dig in at Lennon, and vice versa. I’d say they both contributed to what was a hugely enjoyable 4 years for Hibs fans

Stubbs embraced a great set up and it paid off spectacularly.Last edited by calumhibee1; 24-11-2020 at 10:52 AM.

Lennon took Stubbs’ team up another couple of levels in his second season but left an imbalanced mess for Heckingbottom/Ross.
Stubbs was far from perfect, but what sets him aside for me is he’s one of the few managers who when it was time to leave had left genuine foundations for the next man and not a cycle of rebuilds as we’ve seen.

They've not been able to keep that team and replaced their players very poorly but to say that a team like theres who had a lot less games than us to play are somehow less meritous in their final league position isn't true. They'd have been more welcome in the top flight than, say, Hamilton.
Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

They were a very decent side who would probably have been in and around top 6 in the top tier in Stubbs second season.Last edited by calumhibee1; 24-11-2020 at 12:18 PM.

They were both flawed in there own ways, but that's what a Hibs budget get you. If they weren't, they'd be nowhere near ER.

As mentioned by others I think what worked so well with Stubbs was he bought into the recruitment team and they seemed to be supporting each other. I never got that feeling with Lennon. When LD came in she was brilliant at communicating her vision. Style of play, three players for each position with the Dev Team providing one of those and playing in the same style as first team, Head Coach supported by recruitment team etc. I get the feeling that all started to fracture with Lennon which is possibly the most negative part of his legacy. Succession planning went out the window and we seemed to sign players without a clue about how they would fit into the team. Ross looks like he fits into a similar mould as Stubbs and I hope LD restates her vision as it was the correct way to go.

Would definitely like to see us get back to the vision that Leeann had previously set out.

I know this is hardly scientific but I'd definitely take Stubbs back as Hibs manager, despite the direction his head career has taken.
I wouldn't have Lennon back again, even with all the trophies he's won since he left us.

I enjoyed it when Lennon was with us, raised our profile any way you look at it. As already said, petered out towards the end, but, I did enjoy his time with us.

Neil Lennon was a great Hibs manager. I felt fearless going into every single game with him in charge and always felt he was a good guy to have in your corner.
I don’t care one bit if it was his players, stubbs players or whatever. We made a good call hiring Stubbs, and another good call hiring Lennon.
A time I will remember fondly from the Scottish cup win to the Asteras euro game.
Id buy Lennon and Stubbsy a beer anytime.

It seems to be something which has been said a lot on here but I’m not sure there’s any sort of substance to it. It’s not like he was a world class player or manager - say we’d appointed Ronaldinho, fat Ronaldo, Maradona etc then I’d understand where it came from. As it is though, NL is just another footballer who had a decent enough career of which there has been thousands. I’m not sure what part of his appointment or reign really saw our profile raised?Last edited by calumhibee1; 26-11-2020 at 05:20 PM.

Winning the cup against the OF with a last minute winner for the first time in 114 years is a much bigger deal in Scottish football and especially world football than a managerial ‘big name’ appointment. Yet we never hear of Stubbs having raised our profile.
It seems to just be a soundbite that has caught on with no substance really.Last edited by calumhibee1; 26-11-2020 at 05:56 PM.

Only a big name in Scottish football due to playing for Celtic, apart from that he was a bang average midfielder at Leicester and Crewe, he had a bit of an aggressive streak to game but was I'd say just a decent pro, there's many ex players over the country with the same credentials.

Just seen the post match interview with him on BT. A bit of a car crash. One word answers, refusing to answer questions, etc.
I think he’ll be gone soon.
