soonbe110 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 54 minutes ago, ToqueJambo said: I think Neil is more realistic than that. He's approaching two years at Preston and you assume will be sacked if they don't go up this year, because that's what life is for managers in that league right now. It's dog eat dog. He might see that in his future and not fancy that merry go round of jobs even if the money is great. The Hearts job is a chance to get your feet under the table at a more secure club with decent to good chance of European football or a cup run or even cup win. We could be a better stepping stone than a Championship club, to the Scotland job for example. Or if he does well he'd walk back into a Championship job again if he wanted. There's also always the chance that someone of a decent calibre just wants to work back in Scotland again, eg Steven Naismith. The sticking point is obviously he is in a job and doing well though, but that can change in a few months down there as he will know. He will be earning £1m per annum in his current job. He has three guys in his backroom team. Assume they earn another £0.5m between them and that’s conservative. That’s £2m pa once NI, pension, insurance is added in. Where do we get the money from? I’d love him at tynie but we won’t get him for at least another 10 years. With the jobs he has done for small clubs at Norwich and Preston clubs will be queuing up for him when he leaves Preston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maroon Sailor Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) This is Cotterill's press conference when he got the Bristol City job. Interesting that he mentions stability........

Given they’re a sensible board the majority of the time-it makes sense they’re having a few warm up interviews to practice negotiation questions/responses etc. I think this is only the 2nd time we’ve looked outside for a new manager without headhunting so they’ll want to get into the swing of things.

Kiwidoug Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 If it is to be anyone associated with Hearts, it can only be MacPhee imo. With the shackles off he now has the chance to prove himself. I expect the players will play out of their skin for him against Killie and in subsequent games if no appointment is made in the interim. If this scenario unfolds, I would be happy to give him an 18 month contract to prove himself. He has the advantage that very good players whom he knows well will be returning in the very near future. I wonder if AB is taking advice from Berra and Naismith in this regard. I strongly suspect that she will be in no hurry and will want to see how Macphee goes over the next few games but as usual, I could be miles of the mark.

He’s been at Preston nearly two and a half years. He’s built a team that have a great chance of playing Premiership football next season. He’s extremely well thought of at the club - so much so that they waived away millions in compensation when West Bromwich came after him. And you seriously think he’ll go “this is the right moment for me to get my feet under the table at Hearts - just in case I’m sacked soon” 😀😀😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
