Dibbles old paperboy Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Regarding Alan Stubb's time as Hibs manager. one reason why he has a good win record is because Hibs did pretty well in the cups during the two seasons he was in charge. During his first season (2014-15), Hibs won two League Cup ties (against Dumbarton & Ross County) before going out on penalties to Dundee United. Hibs also made the semi-final of the Scottish Cup that season, beating Alloa, Arbroath and Berwick before losing to Falkirk. They won 1 play-off game against Rangers International but lost the tie on goal difference (the season where Rangers were managed by McCoist, then McDowall, then Stuart McCall - i.e. the comedy gold version of Rangers). So there are 6 wins out of 9 in one season that are unrelated to how Hibs were doing in the league. Their league form that season was as follows: Played 36; Won 21; Drawn 7; Lost 8; For 70; Against 32; Goal Difference 38; Points 70 - Hibs finished 2nd, 21 points behind Hearts and 3 points ahead of Rangers International FC. At his disposal that season Stubbs had the likes of Jason Cummings (top scorer in the league), Dominique Malonga (joint 4th top scorer), Lewis Stevenson, Scott Allan, Dylan McGeoch, Fraser Fyvie, Sam Stanton, Farid El Agagui. The following season, the aim once again was to win promotion back to the premiership. Stubbs' record in the league was identical to the previous season except their goals for column was inferior as was their goal against. This time they finished 11 points behind Rangers and finished on the same points as Falkirk but with a worse goal difference. Once again they lost out in the promotion play-offs at the semi-final stage (this time to Falkirk). Once again they were in good form in the cups, losing the League Cup Final to Ross County having beaten Montrose, Stranraer, Aberdeen, Dundee United and St Johnstone en route to Hampden. The same season they also won the Scottish Cup beating Rangers 3-2 in the final. 10 wins that season came in the cup with another win against Raith Rovers coming in the promotion play off quarter final. In addition to the squad the previous season Hibs signed John McGinn, Liam Henderson, Darren McGregor, Islam Feruz, Kevin Thomson, Tony Stokes during the season and still couldn't get out the Championship!

aldo_j Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 If it’s Stubbs i’m underwhelmed. But I’ll give him my backing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Maybe the reason Hibs never made it out of the Championship at a canter wasn’t down to poor coaching, poor management, poor training methods or generally Stubbs being inept. Maybe, and I’m just putting it out there, the players themselves merely ‘Hibs-ed it’ when under pressure. Like us shitting it against 9 men. Wasn’t all down to Gus, the men on the park turned to jelly in front of our eyes. Equally, it could be down to Stubbs being pish. Either way, Stubbs fault or some shitebags in the strips, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that he does a job for us. Here are my ‘demands’... 1. Avoid instant relegation. 2. Don’t take us back to the days of Gus 0-0 shitfests v Hamilton. 3. Don’t get fcuked 7-0 by an ‘OF’ team. 4. Bring on younger players. 5. Don’t get papped oot the cup by some diddy team like Annan or Peterhead. That’s it. Really, for me, that’s it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munoz Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 If it is indeed Stubbs, he definitely imo looks the best man from the shortlist. As has been said - had a good record at Hibs and did the impossible, won them the cup which many, many tried and failed to do. As for the Rotherham job , I think it's a bit unfair to judge him on 2 months. If we had done the same with Ross, I don't think we would be in our current position.

pozbaird Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Does someone have Alex Ferguson’s East Stirlingshire stats’ to hand? I’m concerned that he wisnae’ too hot in games against Montrose or Arbroath before we took a punt. Incidentally, I’m not saying Stubbs will be our next Sir Grumpy, but I need stats, I demand them.

I suppose it is coming from a man who spent around 90% of last season trying to find fault with Jack Ross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
