My gut feeling is he won’t make the final, but they will announce his permanent signing before the final, to sort of counter balance, and still give the fans some good news, so were not on a downer. 

 

I think if they risk him and he breaks down like Murrayfield, it will really deflate us. We all knew when he went off, the whole support went totally flat, as we knew our chance had gone. 

 

Going in with several injury doubts, means it might not be worth the risk. If Djoum, Uche, Haring were fully fit, I think they might risk him, but all 3 or 4 could potentially break down, and then we would be donald ducked.

He will sign but think we could be waiting a while for it to be official. And it won’t be as player manager!

He was meant to play in a bounce game last Wednesday but is having problems with his hamstring. No idea about any bounce game today as the team are up in St Andrews.

 

At Dundee United's training ground :whistling:

I wouldn't be surprised if he is announced as a player/coach rather than player/manager. I'd love to see someone like him eventually become our manager, but for another season or so I'd prefer him to focus on playing football primarily and helping with the coaching. He has the sort of attitude we need, a winning mentality, no fear of any opposition.

If rumours are true that there is any change in the coaching set up for next season, and n

Naismith is player coach/manager then I would not expect any announcement till at least next week.

I just think Aidy White might be the rabbit out the hat. Were struggling left back. Bobby would get ripped apart. 

Theres probably more chance of White playing than Naismith.

Has it ever happened before that one of our players has got less chance of being a player in our next match than he has of being the manager in the one after that?

It's pretty impressive that despite all the speculation no one knows for sure what our team will be on Saturday or who our management team will be next season.

It's the weirdest build-up to a cup final I can remember, that's for sure. I thought Sergio got it right in the EN, play whoever is fit and up for it, even if that means dropping a couple of youngsters in.

Probably a more realistic shout as player-manager. Hope not.

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.

I did the exact same.  Well, I say the exact same, it didn't quite cost £1.5m. And I guess it wasn't to live in. Ok, it was a garden shed!

Can't be registered on a full contract until next month anyhow. 

 

However can't possibly imagine what we have been pre occupied with the past 2 weeks

And I think there is some financial benefits of not signing too early based on a payment released/unattached players get, which is why it won’t be anytime soon.

What could speed it up is if we win the cup and need him for Europe. But as a free agent he will be able to train where he wants, which means even if not sorted on paper by time players back he can still train with us and do pre season and sign when it’s ‘right’ to do it.

Is it the travel that would put you off I mean for their money its a hell of a drive. Could get the Aberdeen job if rumours are true least then you have a hell of an annual wage.

 

Whats Gordon upto? Not been on twitter today. Life is so peaceful when there isn’t trolls , liars and brainwashed cults messaging you ?

No chance the club would risk it for a few pennies saved.  He would likely feel unwanted and tell us to ram it.  Next week i think it will be concluded.

Special message for Hearts supporters. Showing a bit of disdain for our opponents and our Aberdeen chums. 

Worth a look. 

 

The travel isn't putting me off. They wouldn't pay me in Kilmarnock pies

Training ground is late. Imagine how long the stadiums going to take. 

Believe it is keeping him busy. So much so he didn't want the Scotland job.

Preparing a field was more important

Correct. There's absolutely no question he's our number one signing target by several country miles, and we'll have done, and will continue to do, all we can to get him to sign right until he does so. To think there's any chance we'd tell him we want to sign him but not until the last possible moment before our first game of next season so we can pay him a bit less is quite frankly ludicrous!

It’s  not the club that saves the money, it’s SN who makes money as a released player getting a payment while unattached.

Thats not what I am saying at all.  And yes doing that would be ludicrous!

I heard he's taking a coaching role with the new manager at Killie but will be signing with us in the interim.
