Can't argue with that. I still don't like his eyebrow raising habit but I could live with it if the results are right!

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

He just looks permanently surprised in interviews.

I realise. It's just that I've never gone "give me an 'A' ... etc., etc." for a Scouser. It quite turns my stomach tbh.jonnycooper wrote:bobo the clown wrote:... oh.jonnycooper wrote:And he's a scouse git!

Get this - Hibs have allowed Alan Stubbs to talk to Rotherham. Yes, fecking Rotherham!

Not that enormously odd, if you're comparing the clubs. They're both second-tier outfits, one of them in the country the manager was born.Bruce Rioja wrote:Get this - Hibs have allowed Alan Stubbs to talk to Rotherham. Yes, fecking Rotherham!
Hibs' average attendance this season was 9,339; the Scottish Championship average was 7,397, massively skewed by Rangers' 45,325 – Hibs had the second-largest attendance and six of the 10 teams averaged under 3,000.
By comparison, Rotherham's average was 10,025 – only just bigger than Hibs, true, but the smallest in the division: the average Champo attendance was 17,578. Which might make them the tiddlers in the pool, but it's unarguably a bigger, richer pool.

Re: Which muppet can we appoint next?
Ah, in that case it's quite simple: They're in a higher division. As are Barnsley, and Burton, and Wigan.

It isn't "quite simple" as being in a higher division and well you know it.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote:Ah, in that case it's quite simple: They're in a higher division.

Re: Which muppet can we appoint next?
No, there's a bit more to it than that: they've got money and we're f*cked. They've got one owner pulling in one direction. And they're in a higher division. And besides, Stubbs has previously clearly displayed that he's after whatever's best for him, so Rotherham it is, because they're a better bet than us.
So yeah, perhaps not simple, but still quite easy.

Re: Which muppet can we appoint next?
I'd be staying there if I was him. All the goodwill in the world from their fans after winning the cub for the first time in about 120 years, surely certs to go up next year. Get them up, finish top half the year after and he's looking at a Derby equivalent.

Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind.

Re: Which muppet can we appoint next?
Alternatively: lose his best few players to Celtic or Rangers, struggle to overcome the bitter pill of not going up, fail to stop short-lived Eurocampaign overshadowing league games, get sacked before Christmas...Prufrock wrote:I'd be staying there if I was him.

All of which is an exercise in theoretics and I don't really care. I suppose there's a chance he'll come here but I hope not. He's a long way behind Adkins, Cotterill, even Evans on my preference list.
Re: Which muppet can we appoint next?
My own views are freely available on how we should handle his interview . feck him. Let's get Jason McAteer.

Rotherham are welcome to the wanker. Would be gutted if he came to us.

Heh! I just don't see what you're upset about, me old mucker. Don't want him anyway, but is it Stubbs or the fact that Rotherham are (by the ruthless meritocracy of the league structure) a better bet than us?Bruce Rioja wrote:You're being adjectivally selective now.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote:No, there's a bit more to it than that: they've got money and we're f*cked.

Re: Which muppet can we appoint next?
Nooooo, I'm not upset, Chief, I don't want him either. I just think that it's a real indicator as to how much our stock has fallen by when, as you indicate, Rotherham are now a better bet than us.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote:Heh!
