smiler Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 He's a pish manager and a wank. No thanks. You're another that's still bitter as ****, odds on you're only really raging 'cos he was playing for Timothy at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amadjambo Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Wonderful player. Absolute warrior on the park for us. Disaster of a manager though. How on earth did he even make the shortlist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangkokHearts Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I think he's a strong choice against the fantasy picks of Steve McLaren and O'Neill. Would give us the steel in the dressing room and in the dugout we so badly need at the moment. Not as bad a manager as people would have you believe and a Hearts Ledge.

JamboAl Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I think Levein owes him an interview from courtesy as he was an excellent captain for him. Levein also jumped ship when he saw Romanov coming, so is unlikely to hold it against Elvis that he did so later. I'd hope, given his managerial record, that it is just a courtesy. He'd further divide the support before a ball was kicked. There's better out there. He's one of the last I'd want. The worrying factor here is if that the standard of interviewee, things do not look too rosy for the future. That said I'll back him, or anyone else, if he gets the job.

loveofthegame Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 He would create a huge divide in the support from day one. For that reason alone, I think it would be a very poor appointment. We need to come together, not have another reason for unrest. If he got off to a bad start the element that have never forgiven him would make the club poisonous. Forgetting all of the above, I still think he'd be a very poor appointment. His managerial record is bang average (and that is being generous). He is also an arrogant prick of a man. Finally, despite all that, he remains one of my Hearts heroes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And his antics on returning to Tynecastle, regardless of who it was aimed at, in my books makes him out to be a grade A wank.

japanjambo Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 All these folk saying he has a crap managerial record...Derek McInnes didn't have a great managerial record before going to Aberdeen. It hasn't done him any harm. Just sayin... I'd have Elvis in a heartbeat. Certainly wouldn't stand for lack of effort etc from any player. Be a a good appointment IMO.

RobbofordGHC Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I don't think he would divide the support as much as suggested. A dozen posters knocking him on kickback isn't representative of the support and he would get the backing of the vast majority. You only need to look at the threads on any of the names mentioned to see the negativity that dominates this board. There are better candidates mentioned, some who are likely to have remuneration and recruitment expectations beyond our current budget. Elvis fits the profile of what we are likely to get, and he would know exactly the expectations of the support from his own experience. Would also know John Daly very well. Not my first pick from the potential options but he's a strong candidate and I, like the majority of others, would get behind him if appointed.

Special Agent Dale Cooper Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I think he'd actually do ok here, he'd rattle a few cages and seems a deep thinker. However if we are going for one the more affordable candidates, which is understandable, then Sergio for me. The support needs galvanised and Pressley divides us right down the middle.

Hilary Briss Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Hartley has been interviewed this week too. Dont think there is anything wrong with going through list of applicants.

Deevers Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Managerial records sometimes mean bugger all. Folk on here of a certain age will remember when we got Willie Ormond as manager. An outstanding manager with St Johnstone and not a bad record with Scotland - an abject disaster with us. Some managers just seem to be a right fit for a particular club. Pressley was never outstanding as a player anywhere else but Hearts. He was a terrific captain. The spat with Romanov soured things for some, but I would not rule him out of landing the job here. Those in the boardroom must see something in him to ha e put him on the short list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaShango Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I would take Pressley. He clearly has deep affection for the club and I think like he was as a player he would be a good fit. His managerial record isn't as bad when you look at some of the factors he worked with at Coventry. Deducted 10 points at the start of the season and playing at Northampton yet they stayed up and almost made the play offs. The circumstances at that club made for a difficult job. If they hadn't lost Leon Clarke in the middle of the season it may have been a different story. One thing for certain he would have the players up for it and wouldn't accept half hearted performances! He was a clear leader on the pitch so can't see him being anything other than that off it.

Mister Dee Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Some of the short sighted comments about future managerial appointments, are ridiculous. Any new manager is a gamble, it's rare that there's a 100% supported new man -someone always has some seethe. SP was a fantastic fit as a player for us -much like Rudi, if he gets the job, I'm sure he'd give it his best shot. Just before Romanov sacked him, I spoke to Elvis in the street, & even 24 hours before he got the bullet, he was still hopeful that he could patch things up and spend the rest of his career with us. I was struck by how passionate he was about us, despite the pummelling he'd taken in the press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
