Please no, reading the interview, he comes across as an arrogant to$$er. He has no intention of applying for this job or any, as people should know how great he is. Let us also remember he did not even want to be interviewed for the Scotland job, or so we are led to believe, beecause he thinks he is that great.

Samster Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Having seen him do pretty well at Preston and Derby I think I would take him (though i agree he should apply for the post himself). However, there is always something niggling in my mind about why he got emptied for the Scotland job and why he's not really been in the frame for other recent jobs down south. I get the feeling he might be a wee bit of a bad egg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegas-voss Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Why was there so much bad blood between him and Derby even before he got them promoted.There is something not right at all and if he came to Hearts you can sure as hell garauntee it would surface.

Denny Crane Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Davies said: My track record speaks for itself. I've got no intention of applying for the Hearts job or any other job. People know what my record is and they know what type of manager I am. My pedigree is quite clear, they (Hearts] either want that type of manager or they want something different. A lot of folk here no doubt have a decent track record in their chosen profession but I bet they still have to apply if something better arose. Seems to be a common trait amongst the football fraternity of "waiting for the phone to ring". Have they not heard of the saying: "if the mountain won't come to Muhammed....."?

Guest Freewheelin' Jambo Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Hilarous comments from him in the EEN. The Voice has spoken. Christ, can HMFC have room for TWO egomaniacs? Still could not see this guy working with Vlad but stranger things have happened. Maybe Vlad would be the type to have more respect for this blowhard and his record was fairly decent. I would take him, but really don't think he would last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie-Brown Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 If Hearts appointed him then of course I would support him in the same way I backed and supported previous Hearts managers whom weren't particular favourites of mine ie McLean, Jordan, Rix....but Billy Davies although he is a good manager would be quite far down my list of preferred candidates.

I'M IBRAHIM TALL Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 BD does sound a gobby wee *****. And I would prefer JJ. But i would take him as manager. And surely in this day and age managers dont apply for jobs. Whether they out of work or not. Chairman immediatly bang on about board meetings and short lists when a manager goes. I would imagine a manager that has to apply for a job, really isnt good enough for that job. Or maybe I'm wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I don't see what the problem is here.

Do you think we head hunted him ? Or did he apply and that started the ball rolling ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
