Just speculating but the lack of transfer activity to date could suggest significant changes to management/coaching staff. If changes are likely would have been silly to make any signings.

A know you first said this but the amount of times heard it since makes me think there's something In it because rumour just won't go away That's not the case - loads of people were saying it beforehand. It would be a bit of a stretch to describe McCann becoming our new manager as "very positive" anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) Hearts back for pre season on Friday. Its obvious to say any announcements on coaching staff changes (if happening)would be quite soon. Edited June 16, 2019 by Debut 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 In all honesty, it's very possible Budge told Levein to go off and reflect for a couple of weeks and decide if he's up to another year, partly considering his health. It is possible we have a replacement lined up and Levein might consider he's met his remit of building a spine for the next person, especially after sealing the Naismith signing (assuming that's happening). Don't think so, but as this is a speculation thread, who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mscjambo Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 8 hours ago, Gilbert’s Fridge said: I get and agree with the sentiment you state. My only point would be that I think it is too early on in the process for CL to relinquish the Academy role. We haven't really seen the consistent 'production line' of 1st team talent come to fruition - that would be another 5 years or so. Totally understand exactly what you are getting at. My point would be that with him back as DOF you may not attract the widest array of candidates as some may not want to work under that said structure. Any new management team would always be questioned and have the question of CL interference undermining any decision they make regardless if he was or not. I do genuinely think he has done wonders building the academy back up, it's a hard one because him as the manager still leaves much to be desired. Definitely not straight forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulHartley10 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I know Naismith is biding his time until July before signing but I was intrigued by his comments that it wasn't a typical/usual contract. It definitely feels like something is happening in the background. I'd even wager we've already signed some players already. Naismith on the coaching staff? Are we waiting on Shelley Kerr to join the coaching staff after the world cup? We're waiting on something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckydug Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 23 hours ago, Phil Dunphy said: So he's not allowed to shake hands with the opposition? That's a weird outlook to have. And you mean this picture? Look at the caption ffs. Gary Mason, Gary Locke and Ryan McGowan were all contracted to a rival club at the time. I doubt there was much outcry from Kilmarnock, Dundee or Dunfermline fans at the time. I'm sure there are other examples of a player contracted by a club, going to watch a different club in that league. It's hardly a big deal to anyone who has the ability to think. Your point about running down his contract would be valid if the photo was taken around the time of the speculation. But it wasn't, so it's completely pointless. Jamie Walker is a Hearts supporter. His whole family supports Hearts. I agree there's no harm in players going to watch the team they actually support when they are free to do so. Jamie was only doing the same as Gary Locke,Ryan McGowan and Gary Mason that is going to see the team they support. What's the problem ? I hope if he does come back to Hearts he is not getting a penny more than what was offered to him before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of webster, his return divided hearts fans even more than Walker's (if he does come back) and he turned out to be an outstanding signing. Iirc, certain posters on here couldn't even bring themselves to refer to him by his name and referred to him as "number 6" instead for a long time after he returned.
