jambo-rocker Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Chances are if Naismith is going to be partly a coach, you'd imagine we're waiting until after the end of the season to empty a coach or two of our own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not actually a farmer though, I just bear an uncanny resemblance to the character from Chicken Run! You're certainly correct that it's all opinions, but in the context of Scottish football, Steven Naismith is still very much a seriously top drawer player. Outwith celtic, there's probably a handful of players at most in Scotland that are better than him. He's almost certainly not EPL quality any more, and would probably not be in great demand from top English Championship clubs looking for promotion either these days, but I think it's highly likely he'd be able to get a contract at a middling Championship club without too much trouble that would earn him considerably more money than he'll make at Hearts. He's been clear for quite a long time though that his family have wanted to resettle back in Scotland for their kids' schooling, and also that in a personal sense for him, his priority was to actually enjoy his football, not maximise his earnings. That's good news for us, because if he was looking for the most lucrative contract he could get to round off his career, we wouldn't ever have had a snowball's chance in hell of seeing him pull on a Hearts shirt. In football, as in all other circles of life, you have people who make the most of what they earn, but they are often outnumbered by wasters. In terms of relativelt recent arrivals at Tynecastle certainly a couple have invested wisely, whereas one who left us early in the season had invested poorly, got some help from us but has reverted to bad habits and ended up deep in the shit again. The two wise investors were/are Steven Naismith and Christophe Berra, who are made for life through their investments. What they now earn in football terms is little more than pocket money, when they were making good money they made it work for them and now find themselves with very extensive property portfolios, big money makers. I've not been tracking things but he recently invested in the construction of his own property, i.e. somewhere for he and his family to live, and that involved small change of around £1.5 million being used. He did that as his future is here in Scotland, more specifically Ayrshire, where his roots are. His next step once he finishes playing will be into coaching. From speaking to a few of the players and from watching him while he is on the park for us I suspect he is going to be very good in that role, and for that reason I'm delighted that he has decided that he sees his future, and the phrase he used in a recent interview was a number of years., at Tynecastle and I hope that in the not too distant future we have the pleasure of seeing what he can bring to this club as a coach as well, if you want to win and compete you need winners in place to do so and he certainly falls into that category.

If he's available he should start and play till he's knackered then come off. At least then he can influence things from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb1874 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 If there is a bounce game to test his fitness, and following that, he is available for selection, he should start the final. At least if he breaks down, you can sub him. What's the point bringing him on later, to then break down, and have to sub a sub. If he isn't fully 90 minute fit, we might get a good 60 mins. I very much doubt it...but fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To see him in the starting line up would be a massive boost but for him to go off injured again after x amount of minutes would bring back bad memories of the LC semi.

Daly and Fox develop as a management team and so If they excel, it means they can easily slide back into the club as management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
