Hibs did play good football under him, as much as I don't like to admit it. A bit of a myth, they struggled to win games in the championship, never by more than the odd goal. Yes it looked relatively pretty but was ineffective. Came 3rd in a 2 horse race. Credit to him for winning the Scottish cup, but it was the worst Rangers and Celtic team in living memory they were up against. Thankfully looks like a poor appointment.

To not get out the championship in 2 season, for me, makes him an average manager. John Hughes won the cup the year before him, doesn’t make him a good manager. Time will tell I guess.

Eldar Hadzimehmedovic Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 He's never managed in the Prem but his record against Prem teams is P11 W6 DR L1. 7 wins if you count the cup final against an already promoted Rangers.

It might be he’s good at getting his team to raise their game in that case Midden will be doing that 6 teams of the season which would be bad news for them come the split when they will be in scraps which is where he’s failed miserably.

Over the past few years they have had 2 former Celtic captains as managers I doubt they went to get loads of Celtic loans under Alex Miller Terry Butcher Bobby Willimson and Alex McLeish.

In fact that’s a staggering amount of ex huns as managers. That is indeed staggering. And no they didn't go for loans with those managers as you say. However, the loan merry go-round we are seeing today wasn't as prevalent in the days of Miller, Williamson and Mcleish. hubz do this now though and are able to tap into Celtic with greater ease and a greater chance of a result than any other team in Scotland. You've got to wonder what Celtic's end game is in all this...... continually loaning out players to a team who for a few seasons played in the same competitive league as their perceived greatest rivals? Funny too how it's seemed to get all pally once Lawwell and Petrie ended up in their lofty positions, never mind about the ex players/managers saga, and that other, ahem ......... elephant in the room, (not that I entirely subscribe to that particular theory). Anyway, I'll bow out of this discussion now in deference to the OP and the original theme of this thread. For what it's worth......... I think Stubbs will probably do ok as st midden boss. Well I think he will at least keep them up, .... unfortunately. . Edited June 8, 2018 by Busby8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
