LarrysRightFoot Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 Meeko I understand what you are saying but the club still has a scouting network and its not uncommon for players to be signed by the club and not the manager - e.g. Nish going to Hibs, they had been trying to sign him even before Mixu took over. Having said that I understand your point and to an extent agree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambof3tornado Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 How can we be in for him? Who makes these decisions? Considering we don't even have a manager? Managers at clubs dont all that often find themselves players to sign so just because we are missing a vital link in our staff dont think that no one is hunting for signing targets. This would be a really good signing but I think that we will be used once again to improve the players profile just by having him linked with us.

Try and get a couple of loan's aswell from Premiership teams, if the SPL teams all done this, got players on frees and loans then the standard of football up here would be alot better than it currently is.

Jambof3tornado Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Fair enough and i understand that point, i just think the final decision should be the managers. Some players will be brought into clubs to be sold on,with or without any managers say so, ie Mascherano and Tevez. Remember that for us to improve as a club we will have to make money on players,although we must also put on a display play wise to get 17k bums on seats too!!! The manager should get the final say on who plays,but not that bothered if he doesnt have the final word on players who come and go. He should manage the players he is given.

In an ideal world this wouldnt happen but its not uncommon at our club unfortunatly. Having said that, again, its not uncommon at other clubs either. The last time the manager (apparently) had a free reign in transfers was JJ amd the SMG money. The ideal is probably somewhere in the middle.

Say What Again Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I'm really not trying to put a negative spin on this, but if it was Hibs interested, the thread title would have been 'Hobos competing with Blackpool etc for released no mark' etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott herbertson Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Right but surely it would be the managers final decision on whether he comes or not? We don't have one to make that decision unlesss Vlad is making it? That's where there seems to be a common misconception. Since robinson and JJ fell, where JJ's purchases were allegedly a big issue, heart have mostly had a Head Coach. Initially Lecein was hired in this role and as far as I can make out did not have the final say on transfers. He soon built his position to a point where he was trusted. He was the last guy, as far as I can see , who was given the final decision on all signings. It is quite common, especially when there structures which include Directors of Football, sporting directors and football mad owners, for the coach NOT to have the final say. Like the vastmajority who post here I prefer it and think its better if the Coach is a manager and has the final say, but while Romanov owns Hearts and controls the spending of the money to make the signings, we can forget that idea. Choosing the team is the next step down, and the best we can hope for while VR controls Hearts is that the January 1st statement is adhered to, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalterEgo Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Nobody has signed anybody. Don't see the problem with letting the guy's agent know that we might be interested and to keep us in touch with developments. What I am more concerned about right now is who is going to do the clear out of the other twenty three central midfielders we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattyw_1874 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Personaly never seen the boy play other than a couple of Carling Cup games but as a member of a Man Utd forum I can tell you there was a lot of hope for Jones at Man Utd. According to the majority he has a good first touch very comfortable pn the ball and has very good vision. Not Man Utd standard but could give some of the crap we have a run for there money.
