Stubbsy to Blackburn?

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Daily Record running with the story too although I pressume it's the same source.
Fwiw whether it's Bolton, Blackburn or another I'm pretty sure he'll be away after our last game. No inside info, just think he seems to have built a reputation down south (how warranted that reputation is probably for another debate) so job done in that regard. I don't think he's got a lot to gain by staying with us but will have a support ready to put the pressure on him should things start to go wrong at all if we don't go up.
I also think when asked about the Bolton job his refusal to deny it said a lot more than what he actually did say.
Whatever happens between now and the end of the season I wish him well, seems like a good guy even if I've not always been overly keen on his management.

If he gets us the Scottish cup & promotion, his job is done!

If Alan Irvine is staying and has an influence into the appointment then there could well be something in it.
Would also mean John Doolan might not be following him, if Stubbs leaves on good terms after a successful end to the season I wonder if he would be considered to take over from Stubbs?!

Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

I can't see any scenario where he'll stay with us.
I was wrong once before though

However, a decent compensation package with Doolan staying on might be good business?

Not surprising in the least. Not that he is being linked with such jobs, just at the timing of it all. The next 2 weeks are massive for our club. And if sympathisers of our Cup Final opponents can throw the preverbial spanner into the mix every so often then it might give them an edge. It happens EVERY SINGLE TIME. What, really, has Stubbs achieved thus far that would merit getting the Blackburn job? A club with genuine aspirations of getting to the Premiership. Not enough in my opinion. All an attempt to unsettle the dressing room before the final. Same as happened with Allan. It will be a new club on Monday morning...

If we don't get promotion, I'll be happy to see him go. If he decides to stay and have another go, I'd accept that with reservations. Surely two failed attempts, however, are enough to suggest he doesn't have it.

Not that I think it'll happen but if stubbsy gets us promoted his job has just started imo. He's proven this team can compete in the premiership.
I'd hate for him to leave to be replaced by a potential dodgy appointment.

Why would Blackburn want a manager who's done nothing as a manager yet, when Bolton appointed Neil Lemon he'd at least won things and had some terrific european results on his CV?

Before anyone twists what I'm saying, managerial appointments aren't always based on what they've achieved in the past, if they've got a good reputation as a coach sometimes that's enough to get them good jobs, of Stubbs has a man on the inside, like Alan Irvine singing his praises then it could well be a possibility, if they see him as a cheap option as well then that could also add to the likelihood of it happening.
Would Lambert have played with Stubbs at Celtic? Think they did, if so then that could be another factor if he is consulted.

I think he would be a great choice for Blackburn - and he would do well - I hope he doesn't go - as I can't think of a Better management team available to us than the one we currently have

Stubbsy to Bolton...2 days before Falkirk at home
Now we have Stubbsy to Blackburn...2 days before the return league.
Jeez, people really are trying to stir up speculation and that's all it is with our manager.
He may well go in the summer, who knows but I don't understand the clamour to get rid by some on here in such an important fortnight for the club.

In spite of all of that, the next fortnight could yet see us promoted and winning the cup.
Stubbs was brilliant for a season and a half, he just needs to find a way to get us over the line with a squad that Stubbs will in th long run admit is probably not quite good or balanced enough.
From there, imo it would be brilliant to see him stay and have a crack at the top league next season or if the worst happens rectify the mistakes and take us up as Champions from another challenging Championship.
If he chooses to go we should be realistic about where we were when he joined and how far he's taken us in a short time.
And if we're going to slaughter Stubbs for what he's done during his time with us we've got to wonder what to expect of the next guy. There are a lot of Calderwoods and Butcher's floating about out there so I think some people need to be careful what they wish for.
