CostaJambo Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 The next manager will depend on whether Levein moves back upstairs or leaves the club. If CL goes back to the DOF role we will not be getting an older, experienced manager, there is no way Levein will allow anyone in who could potentially threaten his position, it will be another younger relatively untried guy, but probably with a bit of experience under his belt already.

Hector Riva Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) My gaffer was on holiday last month at Sandles Barbados. So was Mr and Mrs Burley. I told him to ask if he would come back to Hearts. He forgot He said that George looked fit and his missis looked very fit.

OTT Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Genuinely not sure. If he came back I'd welcome him back absolutely, do I think he'd be a success? Couldn't begin to guess. If we want to continue with the DoF model we should really look for an actual DoF. Levein isn't a DoF, he's a manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crete Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I was heartbroken ? when George got sacked if he had stayed I think we would have won the league that season. Bring back George. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a lot of shite, and is purely a myth that has grown arms and legs. He liked a wee drink, nothing less, nothing more. That’s not true, there was incident at an official club function involving the manager and Stephen Pressley/pressleys wife. It was brought about by George Burley being hammered. My source is a former club director who I have no reason to believe would create stories. Edited April 24, 2019 by Brighton Jambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is supposedly true but the way burley had the team performing he was getting all the plaudits ... vlad didn’t like it and decided to put him in his place the rest is history as they say .... I absolutely loved burleys direct in ur face tactics - we will never know what would have happened if he was left alone to get on with it - reverse with burley at the helm - pretty certain he would have won that New Years game at home against septic bringing him back now isn’t the right move as others have said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the back of that Fyssas been steady in his job as a technical youth director at panathinaikos and Jankauskas managed with pressure of nation albeit poorly.

Maybe as a DoF with a young coach who he could help play in the manner we did then with a high press. His old pal Simon Hunt was the International Scout at Ipswich and Sporting Director at West Brom. These guys are out there if you have the right connections and advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOBTHEBRUCE Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) I'm against employing managers that have been out of the game for 5+ years, You just need to look at the likes of Alex Mcleish and Craig Levein. But......Purely down to the unfinished business thing, I'd probably be up for giving Burley and even Sergio a years rolling contract. Things are just that bad just now. I was saying today that it would be funny if we brought in Hibs first choice though.. Edited April 25, 2019 by BOBTHEBRUCE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumpship Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Yes, Burley as DOF and Rudi as coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBTHEBRUCE Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) Robbie Neilson is comparable to Burley in a way. He had the budget (smaller scale but comparable when you consider the teams he was up against) to be far better than he his. He's basically brought a whole new team in at Utd as well. I'm sure a lot of folk would take him back. Like bringing Burley back, I wouldn't, but if it meant getting rid of Levein... I'd have to consider it.

I don't think it matters if it is a manager or a player, sometimes it is just better to retain the memories you have rather than find that 2nd time round that person just doesn't produce what he did the original time (from a playing point of view the 1 name that come to mind for me is Neil McCann. Was brilliant for us in his first spell, but it just didn't work out on his return). I completely agree about Neil McCann (although injury hampered him) but surely Robbo and JC were more than ok on their returns ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin MacGlee Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Nah. We need someone with a proven track record of operating on a budget and bringing through youth as well as spotting gems in lower leagues. Basically what we were told we'd get with Levein as DoF. Burley's budget was astronomical in comparison to how we operate now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
