kylelauren01 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 AM has a lot going on outside the Northern Ireland gig. He has a successful travel management company, the AM soccer boys club bears his name and he runs successful community coaching courses in north east Fife and beyond. A lot to give up if the SFA are making that criteria for getting the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First48 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 And there's been some chat about whether SFA are demanding he gives up other work while Hearts may be more flexible.The SFA aren't going to let him continue to word for another national team are they - sorry just reread this and other posts it seems he has other work outside NI role Suppose it all depends on ambition. Work for a forward thinking football club with an eye on development or work for an organisation that bombed the previous incumbent of the role for daring to challenge the status quo. I'm sure the SFA gig pays more though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungry hippo Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 And there's been some chat about whether SFA are demanding he gives up other work while Hearts may be more flexible. Both roles are very different so I guess it will just depend on what he fancies doing on a day to day basis. He'll also be factoring in things like the potential for career progression.

OTT Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Really happy to hear this! Seem's like we'll have an incredibly forward thinking young management team. Obviously Boyd and fullerton are talking nonsense but I can't help but think having someone in the management team who has played at a high level (perhaps learning coaching) would help kinda back Cathro's authority?

Its a break from the standard which is amazing to see. Its not criticism just a question If it is Cathro with MacPhee it may be a joint position like Sweden & Iceland have done, perhaps with a 3rd coach, a Billy Brown, Tommy Craig character who does the shouting. Considering the recent comments from certain ex players in the press maybe Levein will try and shield him a bit from the press. Just a thought.

JamboAl Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 If McPhee is appointed this week it really will be forward thinking as he was pictured at Ibrox yesterday and will no doubt have a good idea of what this week's opponents are about.

Its a break from the standard which is amazing to see. Its not criticism just a question Fullerton and Boyd are both old school neanderthals who think that managing egos in the dressing room is all about having a stronger ego or about "commanding respect". Intelligent man management doesn't figure in their world. The question mark about Cathro's leadership ability, however, will be raised every time we slip up or have a bad day at the office. Another worry will be whether or not Cathro and MacPhee can work together. Both have very similar visions and their individual success has been built around being the only football analysis and coaching guru in a team. I'm not sure it'll work having them both working together. That said, I do like Levein's thinking about bringing the best coaching talent to Hearts to build potentially the best football academy in the land. Hope it works!

Hearts_fan Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Throw in Takis Fyssas and I'd break. Actually, ignore that. I just mentioned Fyssas because he once said he'd like a return to Hearts. The idea of Cathro and Macphee is already very exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJGJ Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 MacPhee is one of the two main candidates for the Scotland performance director gig and impressed in his interview. It might be a tough job to attract him to the club if the SFA job is his to take. If it happened the club will have made moves for two of the brightest coaches around in the UK and we could hardly accuse them of lacking ambition. Of course any managerial appointment is a risk but in terms of doing the preparation to become a manager both names mentioned can hardly be faulted.

Seymour M Hersh Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 You have to figure that if the article is accurate then Cathro must have ok'd he approach. I doubt CL would just two coaches randomly and tell them to work together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portobellojambo1 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Scotland on Sunday article on the Cathro thread From reading what I have, may not be everything and I'd imagine anything produced by the press will bear their own wording/twist, it does appear that if McPhee is brought in it will be to perform a specific job at HMFC, but not the head coach role. Does seem to be very good at what he does but I think Cathro will be the man targeted for the top position but he will be a good man to have in back up.

Winston Ingram Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 The suggestion that MacPhee will be our next head coach is nonsense, the same as any suggestion he and Cathro would be "put together" by Craig Levein or anyone else. Neilson brought in his own assistant, just as Cathro will. The fact is this pair are close and have been for a while... they started football academies at the same time, went in different paths (Cathro straight into Dundee United, MacPhee via East Fife and St Mirren to Northern Ireland) but remain tight. Cathro will obviously need someone he trusts in there and MacPhee seems to fit the bill. From MacPhee's point of view, it would seem a bit of a win win... less money than the SFA job but also a lot less hassle and he can continue with Northern Ireland. Like a lot of things going on just now and contrary to background noise, this is all perfectly sensible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martoon Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I hadn't heard of MacPhee until this morning but, having dug around online a bit (not with greenminger thoroughness), he and Cathro seem an exciting prospect as a coaching team.
