Lucille's Thirsty Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Perhaps the people who have doubts about McClaren might be Hearts fans with a different point of view, no? Perhaps.

If McLaren has applied then that should be that I mean you interview potential candidates but as a club of our size we shouldn't be turning down a ex England manager.

blackrebel1978 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Mclaren would be a fantastic appointment. High profile manager, tons of experience, bound to have fantastic contacts. Doesn't matter if he has been sacked from other clubs as I have heard people mention, what manager hasn't? Jose Mourinho been sacked twice by Chelsea. Will be disappointed if Mclaren wants this job and doesnt get it. Also want to hear him try a Scottish accent like another poster mentioned.

Turkishcap Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I will go as far as to say (not knowing all who have applied) we will look silly if we give the job to some one else esp if SM really wants it. He is minted so salary will not be the be all and end all, plus a beautiful city and huge potential to unlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he hasn't pulled up any trees in last few years. That's a pretty simplistic view though. While he may be the most high profile and experienced candidate that doesn't necessarily make him the best fit for Hearts. For example what would his transfer policy be, his views on the squad, his OTE etc. Not saying he's not a fit but the club have to get this right assuming he's coming in on a minimum 2 year deal sacking managers is not a cheap business.

franko1874 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I was speaking to Andrew Davies of Ross County in January, we were talking a while about the clubs he'd played for in England, asked out of curiosity who the best manager was that he had played under, his answer before I'd even finished my question was Steve McClaren.

Four faces Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Mclaren would want to be the head honcho when it comes to the team.Style of play,formations etc.He'd also want his own assistants imo and this may prove to be the ideals which in the end means he won't be manager.Hope i'm wrong and a compromise is met.

Mikey1874 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I think it can go wrong for managers for lots of different reasons. Just because of Derby or Newcastle doesn't mean McLaren still isn't a top coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil D. Corners Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I was chatting to an English mate last night who is knowledgeable about football. I.e. I respect his opinion. His view on McClaren was that he is a poor manger but a great coach. He said his weekness was day to day stuff and identifying good players. When I told him we had a DoF and chief scout he had a big smile and said that would really work for in his favour. So he in now pretty positive and excited about him potentially coming to Hearts setup. Positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Turn Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 From what I've read about McClaren is that he is a 'coach' not a tactician or a motivator. Bobby Robson was similar in that respect. He doesn't usually have his 'own' staff although given his skill set is on the training field and coaching players to do certain things on the park, we would possibly need someone in there that is a motivator and another who is more of an analyst (Macphee?).
