The ex Hibs boss had this to say: 

"It was a big decision to leave Hibernian but this is a club which is moving forward _ Paul Sturrock, John Blackley and Kevin Summerfield have done a tremendous job and we are on the verge of promotion.

"I’ve been keeping an eye on things down here and been very envious of what Paul’s been achieving, and I’m delighted to be here."

"I spoke to the board last week and I was very impressed with what they had to tell me, so it wasn’t so difficult to make the journey from north of the border to south."

So our hunt for a new manager can begin, if it hasn't already, although we still await official confirmation from Hibs that Bobby has left the club.
