Cos he is a tithead who helped Rooney leave Everton by smuggling him out of training in his car.

Just out of interest/confusion/worry/paranoia, why do you all hate him so much?

Thanks for any info.

..he also came out in the press when United were chasing Leighton Baines and said something along the lines of 'Obviously Baines as said he wants to go..'

Can't remember the exact quote, but we wouldn't expect that from someone working for the club when we were hell bent on keeping him.

EDIT

''Bainesy was never really an option to leave, the club had dug its heels in, but Bainesy had obviously said he'd like to go.''

For a number of reasons, though none of them will probably adversely affect his ability to do a job for Hibs.

He portrays himself as a boyhood Evertonian. He was captain when a 16 year old Rooney came into the team, and took Rooney 'under his wing'. Part of this saw Rooney change his agent to Stubbs' agent (Paul Stretford). From then onwards, Stubbs and Stretford were heavily influential in persuading Rooney that he had to leave Everton and go to Man Utd when they came knocking. The Everton captain was advising our star player and the best young player of his generation to leave Everton.

A year later, we finished 4th and qualified for the Champions League qualifying round. Stubbs, the Everton captain, was out of contract. Rather than stay to play in the Champions League with his supposed boyhood club, he left for more money, going to Sunderland in a bizarre move. On his way out, he made rather unsavoury allegations about Everton, relating to 'health clauses' and things of that nature, that Everton denied. Stubbs later admitted he was wrong (lying?) and apologised for his comments. Stubbs lasted 4 months at Sunderland, before Moyes - after a disastrous start to the 2005/06 season saw us flirting with a relegation battle and Moyes' star defender signing Per Kroldrup being a major flop - brought Stubbs back in January 2006.

Stubbs ended up finishing his career with us, rose up through the backroom staff ranks and has ended up Reserve team manager. He's never been particularly inspiring. The reserves never seem to challenge for the league title. The reserve games that I personally have seen, the team doesn't seem to play particularly great football. Also, similar to the Rooney situation referenced earlier, for a supposed boyhood Evertonian, Stubbs always seems to be putting his foot in it publicly. His most recent faux pas was going on Talksport last year AFTER the transfer window had closed and everything had settled down, saying that Leighton Baines had wanted to go to Man Utd, and that the club had blocked the move. Several months later, Baines completely denied this and said he never wanted to leave Everton or had any intention of leaving.

Basically Stubbs is a big mouth, doesn't think before speaking, his a propensity for making damaging comments, and his actual ability as a coach is questionable.

Other than that, I'm sure he'll be fine for you.

Would love to see a few references - I know about the cancer clause stuff, but I also know that he got into trouble at Sunderland for celebrating an Everton goal.

At least you gave us a reason!
