Alan Stubbs has warned Hibs they could turn into the Watford of the north if they axe Lee Johnson.
The Easter Road club brought the former Sunderland man into the capital club to replace Shaun Maloney after just four months in the top job for the ex-Celtic man. He only lasted 19 games following his arrival after Jack Ross was dismissed. Johnson is under contract until May 2026 but is on a poor run of six defeats in the last seven games before the World Cup shutdown.
That loss of form has Hibs down in eighth spot - falling from third behind the Hoops and Rangers in the Premiership table. They also had a nightmare Premier Sports Cup - now known as the Viaplay Cup - campaign with elimination at the group stages and defeats to lower league opposition. If Hibs decide to axe Johnson they would be on the lookout for a fifth manager in just a three year period.
