Watt-Zeefuik Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 DUNDEE United could make a shock move for Hibernian manager Alan Stubbs, according to the Daily Mail. Stubbs is among the candidates at the top of United?s wish list as they look to replace Jackie McNamara, who was sacked on Saturday. http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/latest/rumour-mill-old-firm-england-move-inevitable-dundee-united-want-alan-stubbs-1-3903914 I find it hard to believe we'll be lucky enough to get to play against Stubbo so quickly.

Bellion Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I'd be amazed if he wanted to leave Hibs for Utd at the minute. Aside from the fact that Hibs are a bigger club, whoever gets the DU gig has a big rebuilding job on their hands. If I were Stubbs I'd be holding out for a much better move than this one.

Jamie86 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I'd be taking that job if I was Stubbs, another year and a half at least in the championship then having to rebuild and strengthen the team to make top 6 in the premier league or go to United, make them hard to beat until January, make a few signings then strengthen up in the summer for next season. He might not be the fans choices at United or be deserving of the move but he has to make his money as quickly as he did when he was a player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobNox Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 He's probably aware that if Hibs don't go up this season, he's likely to face budget cuts next season, while being under even greater pressure to win promotion. His ambitions are certain to be down South, so a step up to manage in the SPL will increase his visibility. I'm sure if he's offered the job he will take it.

Bellion Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 On what possible grounds does Stubbs deserve a bigger job?? Sorry, I don't think he does. I just meant that if I were him, I wouldn't be making a sideways move to DU. He's got a gig where it should be easy to look quite good. They ought to be able to play teams off the park and finish 2nd no bother. At some point, someone will probably mistake that for him being a good manager and offer him something. Better to hold out for that than take this - if there's any truth to it, which there probably isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watt-Zeefuik Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Lucky enough?? Unfortunately he managed to get the better of our manager in the derbies last season. Imo of course. I think Stubbo can get his players to play the whole "passing, fluid football" thing but hasn't figured out how to translate that into wins. In games that mattered to us, we got 5 points to their 2. Even the game at Easter Road, which felt like a smash and grab job with the Alim Screamer, they spent a lot of time pissing around in the midfield, only amassed three shots on goal, and El Hass put a sitter straight to the keeper. How many times has Stubbs lost a game and then said, "we were the better team" after it was done? At some point do you start to think he doesn't actually know what being the better team actually looks like, so continues to be "the better team" and draw to St. Mirren or flop to Rangers?

Finlay James Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Taking off the maroon tinted specs, Stubbs is still a terrible coach who I hope stays at Hibs for years. He managed to have them raise their game for the matches v us last season but we managed to make them look good rather than them being a decent side. It'd would be crazy to touch Stubbs, he will end up in the English conference, he is that poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If H1b5 don't come up this season, then I would expect Stubbs to resign or be sacked. He's been telling the deluded ones that the are the best team in the league for 18 months. He surely can't take 3 years to get promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldar Hadzimehmedovic Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Have to say, I thought Hibs played better than us in 3 of the four games last year. Doesn't feel good saying that but it's just the way I saw it. 2-1 We were better but their pressing was incredible. 1-1 They should have won but for Ozturk. 1-1 They were trying to win in the second half as we were holding onto the draw. 2-0 Abysmal from us. Malofeev-esque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zibi Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 If I was Stubbs, I would jump at the chance to manage United. More successful club with similar attendances and the longer he is at Hibs and he can't get them promoted the pressure from fans will mount.

Captain Canada Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I'm not a massive fan of Stubbs but I'd refute him signing average players.

queensferryjambo Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Now that is just lies. Really? You think H1b5 won more than 1 derby last year? Do you think H1b5 were better at Tynecastle in any of the 2 games? First game at Tynecastle aside from a dubious penalty H1b5 never seriously threatened us until they were 2-0 down. Second game H1b5 had a good spell in the first half Hearts were much better 2nd half and IMO should have went on to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, to repeat -- first game at ER they had 3 shots on goal to our 2, with our 2 including the Alim and El Hass through alone against the keeper with a poor shot. They had more possession that day. Also probably won the singing, naturally, which is worth about as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
