Scottish Cup Final

[Deleted member 16999]

I really hate the way these threads descend into arguments about whether Scottish football is better than English football. It isn't, we know it, let it go.

Nothing Stubbs could do with hibs would surpass what he did this season so it's only natural he should move. Chances are he'll be the latest manager to be semi-successful in Scotland and then fall off the radar down south.

Apologies Karen, I bit and should've known better, however it didn't descend into an argument, it was started by the initial post.

Seems an easy out for Stubbs, his remit at Rotherham wil be to stay in the Championship, not that big an ask, and as the Championship is the 5th or 6th biggest league in the world w.r.t. revenues its clear he'll get a decent hike in salary too. His remit at Hibs is you absolutely must get promotion, now with only one automatic promotion place (badly wrong imo) that has proved too hard for him with both Rangers and Hearts to get past, next season he has Dundee Utd and Falkirk to compete with so difficult again, little money in the second tier of Scottish football so not a hard call to make. Stubbs is English so will be nearer to family working in England although I would argue, maybe biasedly, that Edinburgh is a nicer spot than Rotherham to live in....although Stubbs will probably live in Harrogate or somewhere well-heeled like that I expect!

I wonder if Yogi will be back at Hibs.........Fate and timing is sometimes strange.
I have always rated him as a good manager of young players.

I was unaware the attendance was a key factor in the level of football being played

Moving from Hibs in the Scottish First Division to Rotherham in the Championship is a step forward in his career and a step up in level - he obviously thinks so as well hence he has made the move.

Career move? if you spoke to his wife she'd correct you.

Pardon ? Care to expand ?

I believe his family never moved to Scotland when he took the Hibs job

Cut out the insults please

Have you spoke to his wife to confirm that the only reason he has moved from Hibs to Rotherham is because of her ? If not then you know as much as the next person

My opinion was that moving from Hibs to Rotherham is a step forward in his managerial career and I believe that's why has taken the move. You can disagree with that by all means but please respect other people's right to have a differing opinion without offering derogatory comments ( something you appear to struggle to comprehend )

Hibs are an also-ran team. Rotherham are similar but with far greater resources and a bigger platform.

Stubbs certainly hasn't got a great managerial record and I'd argue Tommy Wright at St Johnstone has achieved more.

Hopefully Hibs under a new manager will come season. SPL needs it's "big" clubs in the top division.
