Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 He (Stubbs) doesn't know how to do it (win promotion out of the Scottish Championship that is).  He does know how to lead a team to bottling it.  Consistently at that.    Ok accepted they won the Scottish Cup........we could (and should) have been much better but the plain fact is he was not capable of leading a team to promotion.    Seems to me that players will jump ship from Hibs.......they will weaken......and a new manager will take a season or so to make an impact.   Result......a prolonged stay in the Championship......(or worse).    So what you say.     Good question.   Only answer is Yippee!!  The longer they stay down and suffer financially the better.      (Just echoing a bit of the bitterness Walter S reminded us of recently). Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ritchieshearercaldow 22,389 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 He's leaving while he still has something to put on his cv (winning the SC) if he stays he runs a big risk of failure to get promoted again, if that happened he'd be unemployable.

Hibs made history by winning the SC, that makes me sick to the stomach, and will do for a long time...no matter how many more there will be Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimfanciesthedude 25,591 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 nothing to do with the punishment from the final, he's doing the smart thing, first scottish cup win for over a century for hibs, he wins it, leaves them and goes down in their history as an absolute hero, stay another season or two, wins fuck all, the scottish cup win is dampened big time, especially when they are still in the championship with united and st mirren Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jela 21,621 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 His time in charge was really bizarre.

I think they will go for Peter Houston. After their carry on about Scott Allan not going to a rival that would be pretty hilarious. To see them go out an pinch the rival of their main rivals who are now Falkirk. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had the players and the system to win games against better opposition as just look at the spl teams they beat last year. But mentally there was something lacking in either Stubbs or his team over the season. They could not handle it when expected to win and only performed when underdogs.

No Rangers = No Interest = No money. No more loan gifts from the fiddlers. Even if they do, players like stokes and henderson ain't going to play in a league without Rangers. Ineffect the only reason they have the Scottish Cup or any decent players is because of us. And they are about to find this out.  Much to my enjoyment.    Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

one55 1,510 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Brighter than I thought it seems. He knows Hibs are a sinking ship and he's bolted. Doesn't matter they won the Scottish cup or got into Europe. They are still a championship team and will need to downsize. This season was their last chance to get back to the premiership. One or two seasons down in the championship  might be manageable but 3 seasons...you can't stay afloat any longer. Hope they enjoyed their cup win cause now reality is kicking in.
