Wendy Saintss Posted September 8, 2018 Report Posted September 8, 2018 The clue about Stubbs was his time at Hibs. Couldn't get out of the Championship (or even reach the play off final) in two attempts with a squad which included Lewis Stevenson, Darren McGregor, John McGinn, Dylan McGeoch, Scott Allan, Anthony Stokes and Jason Cummings. If we were a one man team who won the Championship last year it took something to fail to get promotion with a team boasting several full internationalists and U21 players.We weren’t up against Rangers and Hearts though.

Tommy Posted September 8, 2018 Report Posted September 8, 2018 He lasted longer than Iain Munro [emoji14]Stubbs lasting longer than Munro is not a positive Quote

One man team quote from Stubbs tells you everything you need to know about his man management. Quote
Callum Gilhooley Posted September 10, 2018 Report Posted September 10, 2018 Well , it’s been a week and hopefully he is as far away as possible from St.Mirren . Can we now consign this sorry episode in our clubs history to the same place in our minds we reserve for the H word and THAT final ? Quote

Apparently pitchforks aren't much of a defence against muskets, and to use present day football analogy, disorganised rabble generally all at sea with instructions and lost the dressing room. Quote
Wendy Saintss Posted September 10, 2018 Report Posted September 10, 2018 But we were up against Dundee Utd and Falkirk, (who he couldn't beat in a semi final play off).Indeed. Much more inferior clubs.Thanks for underlining my point for me. Quote

Wendy Saintss Posted September 10, 2018 Report Posted September 10, 2018 Rangers were rubbish that season. Would it normally be considered a good season for Hibs to finish over 20 points behind Hearts?Rangers were rubbish when compared with the old Rangers throughout history.They still had by far and away the 2nd biggest budget in Scotland though!Do you consider it to be a normal season when 2 of the 3 biggest clubs in Scotland are in the 2nd tier?

Wendy Saintss Posted September 10, 2018 Report Posted September 10, 2018 One man team quote from Stubbs tells you everything you need to know about his man management. He was right though. We were a one man team.I said it many times, even before Stubbs arrived. Quote

Never a great idea when yer already doon tae 7000 men against 8000. The Billy Brits just cleaned up after that. Quote

Just googled it. We had 12 guns while they had 10. The 6 mortars might have swung it for them mind you!
