Whoever gets the job will materially influence what I think of the the current stewardship and structure of the club.

They better let you choose our next manager then...

With all due respect JT, I dont think the stewardship of the club will give a shiny shite what a non paying non attending internet Hearts fan thinks.

You've either mis-read something, or you are a fine purveyor of wit.

 

Obviously not that fine, it would seem.

I think you've taken the post the wrong way. To me it read that Preston said Daly had been interviewed.

 

Indeedy.

Being honest and serious, does anyone actually think Davies would be a decent appointment?

Its a double edged sword.

 

1. His record is actually quite decent. Probably the best of all those in the frame.

2. He could start a fight in an empty hoose and he mucks about with dodgy people.

Why, In the name of all that is holy, would we even consider Preston?

 

And that's the beauty of the English language! Preston was talking about Daly having been interviewed.

 

 

In June 2000, after a hip injury ended his playing career, Preston became assistant to Macclesfield Town manager Peter Davenport, whom he had played with at St Johnstone. Preston left Macclesfield within a year to return to Scotland with Livingston as a coach, and in June 2004 he became the club's manager. He brought in another former St. Johnstone teammate, Alan Kernaghan, as his assistant, Kernagahan had been player/manager at Clyde. In November 2004, after just fifteen games in charge, Preston and Kernaghan were sacked after the team's seventh successive defeat.

 

Preston was unsuccessful in his application to be St Johnstone manager in April 2005 and thus his Livingston job represents his last football role

far more likely Ann Budge is leading this, even if it just to placate the tin foil hat brigade...

"Far more likely" is your opinion mate, which could be taken as nothing more than a assumption. I am entitled to my opinion  without you reverting to a wee snidey comment.

Preston would be about as unpopular a choice as Pressley for me. A total trumpet.

Preston? Yep, he woukd be an unpopular choice.

Allan Preston said on radio that he was interviewed on Friday.

Allan Preston's managerial record, % win rate and other stuff make him the worst candidate!

I've said it before and I'll say it again.....I can't wait for Pressley coming out of the tunnel and turning to the fans beating his chest as he does so.

 

He'll be able to pick out all his detractors at that point and we can escort them out of the ground as they are unlikely to give much support to the side :tiny: 

 

All I hope for is that we give the person appointed a bit of breathing space and our support as he's coming in because things have not been right.

 

If what we hear is true then there are some decent candidates at least and to make an informed choice you would need to have spoken to them all in great detail. We seem to be doing the homework but the test has yet to come.

Apologies for my poorly constructed post. Preston has not been interviewed. I meant to say that Preston had confirmed that Daly had been interviewed.

I think he could be stellar, or a disaster. Probably a risk, which I'm not sure is what we need or want after Cathro...However, by giving him a chance we could get a level of loyalty in return that exceeds that of anyone else, which would be great if he does turn out to be successful. Davies is a footballing pariah in England, in the same way that Rix was. The difference is that Davies has a pedigree that Rix never did.

On what basis?

 

I have supported nearly everything the new regime has done since 'Budgement Day' to much happy clapping abuse on here.

 

There are quite clearly people in the short list that would be the wrong choice and show we are going in the wrong direction

 

If such a choice transpired then I would start to have significant doubts about how the club was being run.

 

How the **** can that be a daft thing to say?

 

It's practically what everyone else is saying or thinking.

Nothing "quite clearly" about it, they would only be the wrong choice...in your opinion!

Having doubts about the impact the decision of the club will have?

'Quite' is not an absolute

 

Pound to a penny nearly everybody on JKB would think that appointing Daly and Pressley ahead of Freedman would be the wrong decision.

Freedman for me by a distance

I seriously cannot see why he would be anywhere near the standout applicant, nothing he has done previously suggests that he is good enough.

 

Please someone educate me why he is so highly regarded on here?!?!

 

EDIT: I notice you have posted this single comment (Freedman for me by a distance) a number of times, are you just trolling?

If you read into what he has done at the club's he is at you see if guys perfectly with what we are wanting at the club.

Freedman to me seems the most exciting and positive appointment.

That said, I'd give any of the others my backing as any of them will do a better job than Cathro did, and repair at least some of the damage that has been done.

 

It's an exciting list of candidates for many reasons -each man brings something different to the role.

If it's only "nearly everybody on JKB" then I would wager "a pound to a penny" that your assumptions do not reflect the views of 14K ST holders

and the wider fanbase! It doesn't matter how many ways you say it, it is still just your opinion!

Nor my FOH payments either I guess

I joke with people at work about how I am going to be part-owner of Hearts. Seems some people on here genuinely believe it!!!

 

FOH is a donation, like a donation to any charity. I do not consider myself an owner of the SSPCA just because I donate on behalf of 2 felines which enjoy the good life in my house.

 

If I felt JKB needed the money I would re-channel a bit of my FOH donation to here again.

 

Donating is donating - it doesn't create a debt.

Out of that list I'd prefer Freedman way above the others. I wasn't that convinced at first but having read up a bit about him and listened to the opinions of some on here, I think he'd bring a freshness to the role and seems to be a very progressive manager.

 

If I had to choose a second choice it would be Billy Davies, not a likeable person, but a good manager nevertheless. If he got the gig, I think he'd get results. Simple as that.

 

Daly would be my third choice because he seems quite a switched-on guy but I'd prefer a bit of experience this time around.

 

Hartley doesn't convince me at all; great player that he was.

 

Pressley would be my last choice. He hasn't exactly set the heather on fire in his management career so far, and of course he'd cause a lot of grumbling among our support. I'm not that bothered about the whole chest-thumping incident but let's face it, a large section of our support will never forgive him for that and it would simply cause a lot of discontent.

Evening News reporting Pressley & Daly are the front runners!!

 

http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/hearts-five-man-list-for-new-head-coach-1-4537039

 

If true I'd rather keep Daly. Although very underwhelming considering the applicants reported & noises on an experienced manager.

So Evening News saying it will be one of five names who have been discussed in the media while BBC Sportsound still claiming there are two names in the running who are unknown to the media.

 

Who to believe...neither as usual!
