Bennyal Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Reading that Hibs have gave permission for Stubbs to speak to Rotherham? No offence (offence coming) but why would you want to join a club that barely scraped championship survival, will never gain promotion to the Premiership and have just became a legend in the eyes of Hibs fans everywhere. I'm not a Hibs fan but can't understand his thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a Hibs fan but can't understand his thinking In 1996, would you have believed that Wigan, Swansea, Blackpool, Reading, Cardiff, Hull, Bournemouth and Burnley would all have reached the Premiership by now ? Or that Leicester would even manage to win the thing ? Can't dismiss any club like that anymore.

Only One Stop Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Would imagine that bigger salary, much bigger pot of money for players, closer to family and will be on radar of bigger English clubs should he do a half decent job will be in his mind. The SPL is viewed as a pub league so god knows what they think of Scottish Championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveHFC Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 If he does go. Wish him all the best. He's a club legend and is welcome back anytime. McLeish or McCall for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil r Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Cookie monster offski to Rotherham or anywhere else is hardly a surprise with Cummings yet to re-sign, Stokes going back to Celtic, McGinn likely to get punted, hefty fine heading Easter Road way on the back of the cup 'celebrations', another season in the second tier of Scottish football with no parachute payment , unlikely to have any money to strengthen the squad. Cracks showing through the Scottish Cup wallpaper already. As far as league campaigns go Stubbs has taken Hibs nowhere in 2 years. He's as well leaving now while while his reputation had been embelished somewhat by the cup win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a Hibs fan but can't understand his thinking It's not really that hard to understand: he has a choice between facing Aston Villa, Newcastle, Leeds and Nottingham Forest, or Dumbarton, Raith and Ayr.

I'm not a Hibs fan but can't understand his thinking There's no loyalty in football, from clubs or individuals. If Hibs were struggling in the league come Christmas, Stubbs would be punted...cup win or no cup win. He's better to get a (well paid) job in the Championship just now when his CV looks decent.

Yes he got us the Scottish Cup but failed in main priority to get promoted. You still got a petted lip because you lost your 1902 comfort blanket?

giblet Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Rossy is right in that Stubbs has the perfect time to leave (for him). Would  imagine his wages will be at least double along with being within a 2 hour drive of his family who haven't moved up. Can understand why he wants to talk to Rotherham however you could easily see him away by February if the are in relegation trouble, such is the pressure on that league.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently folk want to talk to him. If Hibs have a poor summer, transfer wise,  then it might make next league season very difficult. That might kill off any interest,  so he needs to go while the going is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
