Stubbsy to Blackburn?

[WhileTheChief..]

Getting to both finals this season is great, don't get me wrong. Guess in still gutted at the Ross Co result.

As for choosing the wrong club to support?? Well that's just ridiculous!

I'll stick to supporting Hibs thanks v much!!

Looks to me that he fancies going back south, with his family there I can understand this.

Yes, it always has been, that is why we ****ing celebrate at semi finals.

There was me thinking we celebrated being one game away from winning the cup when we win semi finals.

I partly agree but think we have been spoiled by the number of semi finals and finals we have reached in the last decade or so. Watching hibs during 80s and 90s in particular reaching finals was very rare. We had the odd semi final here and there but nothing like the amount we have seen recently

It has been a good achievement this year in the cups but we are on the brink of an amazing season or a complete disaster. Almost no in between.

However it's been the most entertaining season I've seen for a long time

Not at all sure why folk think he's heading out - based on that interview. He said that like all clubs there will be discussions at the seasons end. STV formed their entirely misleading headline from that.

I think if the same question had been asked last season it would have been a completely different answer.

"Working on targets for next season, under contract so going nowhere, big job to do here etc etc etc......"

I've not heard one thing about our targets for next season, I distinctly remember Stubbs talking last year how he was going for the same targets regardless of what league we were in, the lack of sound bytes about next year has also got me thinking he'll be off.

That might be more to do with the fact we'd budgeted for two years in this division, not three. There's so much more uncertainty around - witness Hanlon's contract situation.

Of course we play good football, some of the stuff is terrific and the best football at the club since Mowbray/Collins.

Undoubtedly true, but that's not a high bar!!

At times its good, but often i find it slow, dull and lacking in creativity. Mowbrays and collins teams regularly hammered top league teams, we dont hammer anyone.

Im not saying irs rubbish, just that sterile posession doesnt necessarily equate to good football.

When were good (like other night) we are good to watch.

Yet we have a contract on the table for Cummings and have sounded out players for next season.

It's the most un-committal interview since they bag of sweeties.

You may well be right, bingo. Just felt that STV's headline was wholly misleading.

Personally, I think if we win promotion and the cup he'll be enticed to a job down south, maybe even if he does one of the two.

If he does neither, I think he'll be away either voluntarily or 'by mutual consent'

So in other words, Jonnyboy, like me, you think he'll be away, and the calibre of his replacement, will depend on what division we are in

I just think he's got enough people/clubs talking about him down south for him to be able to justify waking away and waiting for a job to come up closer to his family. He doesn't really need to wait on Hibs getting an offer from another club and it could suit all parties to do it at this time rather than mid-season.

There's every chance he'll go, Billy BUT he's still under contract until the end of next season and might want a pop at the top league, should we get there

To say Stubbs has achieved nothing is mental and reflects an expectation that is pretty far removed from reality.

How many clubs in the last ten years have reached both domestic cup finals in the same season?

How many of those did it whilst in the Championship?

Achievements are relative, unless you're completely binary in your views then most reasonable people would view two cup finals in a season as an achievement.

Stubbs has put some very notable results on the board - wins against Hearts, the Rangers, Aberdeen, St Johnstone, Ross County (last season), Dundee Utd... All games where we went in as underdogs on account of our league position.

I get the argument about not achieving promotion, we should have finished second this season and didn't. We still don't know if that matters. Stubbs could quite conceivably take us up, in which case nobody would reasonably consider the season a failure.

With the margins so fine, people looking from the outside at Stubbs as a prospective manager will justifiably see how close he is taking us, and recognise that that represents a relative achievement.

We are too quick to put the boot in, and too narrow minded when assessing achievement. I understand why, for a club like Hibs in this league it almost is just a case of promotion = success / no promotion = failure.

However that viewpoint doesn't take into consideration the whole picture. We've played 50+ games this season IIRC, largely due to the fact that we have had successful cup runs. I would imagine that takes its toll on even a relatively large squad, let alone one that was without key players like McGeouch, Fyvie, Hanlon and Fontaine for significant periods of the season.

Probably another team then - I used to play against DC milan?da for a team called Wopsoc which stacked with Hibbies and Italians in the University Wednesday league - the Italian Society team believe it or not. These days there would probably be an enquiry about the name. They were fun days, but not politically correct. A certain Mr Pia played a few times if I remember correctly

Regardless what league we finish in, i deep down want stubbs to stay. He has signes decent players, decent footballl majority of time. Why change it now and go through the same transitional period again. One more year please hibs.
