Bazzas right boot Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 There can be absolutely no doubt that CL (& Alex MacDonald, who you also regularly quote as being a poorer manager) was a better manager of HMFC than Robbie. No doubt. That isn't putting Robbie down, just being truthful. However Robbie had a better first season than doddie. Promotion over non promotion, actually a third place finish if I remember. By that he also had s better 2nd season. Robbie had a better first season in the top league than cl 5th v 3rd Both cl and doddie managed longer so it is unfair to compare to Robbie, it's harder to maintain consistency over a longer period. However, Robbie had a better first 2 seasons than cl or doddie.would he have been able to maintain that level, no one, no one knows. That is a Fact ( even if you compare the first season of cl in the top flight v Robbie's). It doesn't detract from cl or doddie but it's a fact that cannot be argued. The league tables show that. Arguing a fact like that just shows it was either personal or because hibs won the sc that you don't/didn't like Robbie. A fact in black in white states Robbie had a better start than cl, who over 80% support just now and doddie who was one of our best managers in our history. Anyway, back on topic. He's in a rut and needs wins or he'll be back up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear for him this season, 0-1, 1-0, 0-1, 1-4, 1-1 & 1-0. From afar, it's all sounding pretty turgid stuff. Correct - it sounds like the football is far from entertaining. Eventually, fans will stop going even if the results are on a par with expectations. So MK Dons are 15th in a league of 24. Is that what you'd expect given their small crowds and, presumably, smaller wage bill than many others in the division? I honestly don't know if that's par for the course or not. Anyway, best wishes to Robbie and Osman in all they do. They did Hearts proud when here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsalldothebeattie Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Not the ideal start he would have hoped for but it's not the worst start either. Sitting 15th in a tough league at this stage of the season when a couple wins will put him up towards the play off places. I always look for the results on a Saturday to see how they've done. Still think he will make a success of it with them and down south in general. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally get where you're coming from mate. Annoys the **** out of me too. It's too simplistic to blame RN for the entire fiasco though. Aye we let a great lead slip, were outplayed in the replay and his choice of words, (money spinner) was galling, but you just cannot vilify the guy to the extent that he has been. The players let him down badly, especially in the replay. Let it annoy you, aye, but don't let it cloud your judgement of a man that was a fantastic and successful player and manager.

PhoenixHearts Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Neilson has done more for this club as both a player and a manager than some Hearts alumni that are pretty much revered by some on here. No-marks like Ian Black get more respect on this forum than Neilson ffs. It's simply not on. Besides 5-1, Robbie's been involved in every single high point for Hearts in my lifetime. He's given us almost 12 years. I don't carewhat he does now, as long as he's happy. He deserves to be. Anybody who thinks ill of the man is -positively and unequivocally- a total ****ing weapon of the highest order. It's that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should never ever have let that tie slip and Neilson was 100% to blame. I am grateful for all he done at Hearts but I can't change the way I feel about that defeat. If you're talking about the game when we were 2-0 up at half time then I didn't even blame him in the first place. The replay is another story. That was horrific. But in that first game we lost Buaben after 10 minutes to injury. He was playing well for us at that point but more so it cost us a sub. We then lost Ozturk to injury after 50 minutes. Again he was playing well and Hibs were getting nothing from our defence until he went off. Juwon being the only replacement it meant McGhee and Augustyn as our centre half pairing. Disaster waiting to happen especially with McGhee. Sure enough he left Cummings with a free header for the first Hibs goal. By that point Pallardo and Djoum had both suffered injuries and we had nobody left but Walker to sub on who was only just back from injury himself. This left us with no midfielders who could do any running and Hibs were given full licence to run at our defence and we had nobody fit to protect them. Hibs scored the equaliser and that was that. Very little Neilson could do about it. The entire midfield and our captain broke down injured and we didn't have enough subs or the quality players to cover.

All that and losing our best player just before the game. But factors like this mean nothing to people with a weird, creepy axe to grind against the guy. The replay was massively disappointing but defeat under Cathro was much worse. Unless Neilson was in charge of the teams Hibs played next in the cup that season though it's ridiculous to claim he was won the cup for Hibs.

Equally petty but that's me. I've no problem with that -- I like Robbie and hope he does well, even at a noxious club, and I like seeing news about him. But having one thread following his ongoing career seems too much for some people -- there has to be a constant relitigation of his time at Hearts and people with even more time and fewer hobbies than me feel the need to come in and demand why they should care. Using the nickname "phoodle" at least outs the morons on the board -- there's not much you can do to insult them beyond the level they embarrass themselves at simply by writing that infantile stuff.

It's also strange that when keeping track of what former players and managers are up to is incredibly common, especially on this forum, somehow we can't see how Neilson does. A guy like Tony Watt was here 10 minutes and gets multiple threads updating us about what he's doing and we can't keep tabs on someone who has been a genuinely great servant to Hearts. It really is strange the hate-on some have for Neilson, and Levein for that matter (although they've gone quiet on him). Personally I think Neilson is someone we should be keeping tabs on partly as he could make a great manager for us again. We do have a habit of attracting our better former players and coaches back.

Whoever described Robbie as "a great Hearts manager" was way, way off. He was generally good but nowhere near great. Compared to some of the muppets we've had in charge over the last 10 years or so, he was great in that the title, 3rd and leaving us in 2nd/3rd were great achievements. Even more so when compared with what followed. Was he "a Hearts great" or legend as a manager? No. We have very, very few of those though to be fair. In my lifetime, only JJ and Doddie deserve that accolade for what they did for us. Neilson certainly deserves to be called a promising young manager in the game, and one we should keep an eye on for a possible return if he keeps developing. Out of interest whey did you want a guy who got us a title, 3rd and had us in the mix for 2nd to leave? Does it really come down to one cup result! Fact is, Robbie had plenty of results like Saturday where we created loads of chances and couldn't put them away and either drew or lost unluckily. HIs win rate speaks for itself though, even discounting the Championship season (which there's no reason we should). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
