Stupid Sexy Flanders Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Welcome back Elvis .......100% the right choice and forward we go How can you possibly think Pressley is the best appointment ahead of Freedman or McLaren? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mdoug79 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Freedman hopefully Maybe with Daly as his assistant? He hasnt done himself any harm the way he has handled himself with the media and made a difference straight away with performances. I have a sneaky suspicion they may have him as assistant to Freedman with a view to Daly being next in line after a couple years learning from Freedman. McPhee will continue to look at potential signings and analysis beside Levein. This would make me a happy man. Freedman is 100% the best man for the job, Daly as assistant shows that we are still looking ahead to the future and McPhee has a massive part to play. Fingers crossed this will happen this week.

It should have been ten Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Just can't see it but thats my head ruling my heart. Id rather Daly stayed on if we wanted a cheap option rather than Elvis. Really can't see it, nope, never....

JamboX2 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Based on absolutely no info... McPhee to become deputy DoF Pressley to become assistant head coach Freedman new Head Coach No. None of that makes any sense at all. None. What is a deputy Director of Football? Why would Pressley step down to assistant to another man? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwidoug Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 It's going to be Freedman, I just know it. Strong character who will manage all the first team issues while CL does everything else. I have a really good feeling about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussAsia Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Hopefully we make an announcement in the next day or so.. Surely it's not Pressley.. why appoint a guy who would get booed from sections of our support at his unveiling.. we need to all be together moving forward.. I didn't think I'd ever stop my FoH payments but if that snake Pressley gets the job then there will be a decision to be made.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weegiejambo8 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Pressley captained us to the Scottish cup and served us as captain for many years. The amount of pressure he must have been under during Romanov era would have been massive. If you can't get over a warrior / winner like pressley going to another club and trying his heart out then you need to get over yourself. A leader like pressley will be good for us. I accept his management CV is not fantastic however the people that don't want him simply because he scored a goal against us for Celtic need to grow up.

RussAsia Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 The fact that he is a terrible manager is the main reason.. The fact that he will instantly alienate sections of the support another.. The chest thumping in a Celtic top at the front of section N another.. (I was well within 20 metres of him as he did it and for those who say it was aimed towards Romanov you are rewriting history.. not a chance) But as I said what in his managerial career so far has led you to believe he would be the right man for the job? Because he spoke well as captain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bainy Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Steven presley is a no no for me. Freedman I'm not really in the know on him career wise so can't comment.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 It's less than 2 years since Pressley stated he didn't want to come back to Scotland. England was the place to be.

Prof Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Some people need to get real. Ann will have interviewed the people she and Levein picked as candidates. Their decision won't be based on a supporters popularity poll- it'll be based on who they think can turn Hearts around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogan3012 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Hope for an announcement asap but will be majorly disappointed if it is Presley would seriously bring me to question Anne Budges suitability to make important decisions on the playing side of things as his record as manager is beyond a joke and a very large percentage of the fans don't want him anywhere near our club.

English League 3rd and 4th tier don't need honking managers with king size ego Listening to his ego he felt he was destined for much, much greater things. It's amazing how a spell of unemployment, and unwantedness, can refocus ambitions. It's probably now a case of "I'll take anything that comes along" for the chest-thumping wonder boy.

A possible example is Billy Davies. I doubt if she had ever met him before however his results record as a manager is excellent and probably led to an interview. Would be surprised if it went any further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, so let him improve Dunfermline, Raith or Killie before coming to us. We need an experienced manager with a decent track record. In short we need the best from who applied, that is not pressley.

A_A wehatethehibs Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I think I am in the minority but I would be happy if we got Pressley, Freedman or Davies. I can't say which one of them I'd pick without actually having met them and discussed their vision for Hearts. A lot of folk seem to have picked one person who is their favourite, and they think every other manager is "not a good enough record" or "not had a good enough win % at club x, y or z". Being a manager is quite a bit more complicated than stats you read on wikipedia. I'd be happy with names we are linked with, experience under the belt and points to prove. Hearts would be a career determining job for guys like Pressley, Freedman, Hartley or Davies. That's the type of man we need, who knows how serious the job is - the Hearts job is the pinnacle, the chance of a lifetime for these guys. Having all experienced success and failure in their football careers, they could all bring something to the club. It's not an easy call by any stretch but it's crucial that Levein gets it right - the interview performance of each man will be the deciding factor not ****ing wikipedia stats.
