wavydavy Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 The Frog Keeper we are speaking too, was he at Palace the same time as Freedman? If he was, that would suggest to me its Freedman He was at Palace but not sure if it was the same time as Freedman. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A9dric_Carrasso Just had a look at Freedman's Wiki page and he was there from 2000 - 2008 so the answer is yes.

Independence Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Same here. If that is the best of the many applications then it's a meh from me, give them a chance yes but not an appointment from those 5 will have anyone excited. This comment sums up KB!

Jammy T Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Freedman probably has better credentials from his time down south than McInnes I think he agrees with and accepts what we are doing as a club/ system/ set-up He seems the most appropriate choice from the known applicants that we could expect to appoint.

RobNox Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 True He's worked with a DOF before and he's brought through youth before So substance behind the words. Yes, he referred to this when he was interviewed on Sportsound, the fact that a DoF set-up is well accepted in England these days, so wouldn't be an issue for him at all.

It's locked because it has descended into a pointless tit for tat argument between a couple of posters and the mods have finally run out of patience, and that's why you can't post on it, because it's locked. It happens from time to time, usually for similar reasons, or sometimes if the discussion starts to become inappropriate / potentially actionable.

Escobar PHM Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Have to say, find the names on the list to be pretty uninspiring. See here's the big problem for me. Because Celtic are so strong and that looks like being the case for the next 4-5 years at least, the ceiling on what Hearts can reasonably achieve is 2nd place, a cup, and at the very top of the possibilities would be entry to the Europa cup group stages. Do we need a Steve McLaren for that ? Are we a few players and a decent manager away from challenging for the league ? Well, No we're not, we're nowhere close, probably further away from it than we've been for 10-15 years. I'd suggest a Freedman or a Davies in place for 2-3 years, left alone and properly financed to build a team, could get us to second. They COULD win a cup. If absolutely everything clicks into place the COULD get to the group stage of the Europa League eventually. Now take a look at that and tell me a McClaren or an O'Neil or anyone in that class could conceivably do better than that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could look at it like that, or you could recognise that we we were extremely unlikely to win the league anyway, but now we have a better chance of grabbing second place.

Other than Rodgers will move sooner rather than later. That won't make Celtic poor but they'll do well to get a manager as good as him again. Anyway I'd be delighted with Freedman and I can't really see how much higher a level of manager we could have hoped for in our circs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
