Appointment of cathro was leveins call , appointing levein was a fudge after going through interviewing people but this call now is on Mrs Budge head and it's the one she'll be judged on and I really hope she gets this one spot on because after all the good she's done the levein saga has tarnished her a little bit bit she's still got some credit in the bank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who are you to give us this wonderful insight ? Been the CEO of many football clubs in your day ? Held multiple interview sessions with prospective managers have you ? I’m guessing no. Craig Levein was sacked a little over two weeks ago......we gave a deadline for applicants 9 days ago and we’ve been conducting interviews with more to follow. This isn’t a position at a MacDonalds drive-thru we're filling here. There is no outstanding candidate waiting on our doorstep so Ann Budge is doing the right thing and taking her time to get this right. Criticising her for taking her time is just stupid.

Hearts may want to speak to him but he may well upset Motherwell board if he asks to apply, or could he apply without asking his current employers?? He may also simply use the situation to get a new deal at motherwell. Its just not as clear cut as it may seem. Some managers will have clauses regarding movement to other clubs etc. To be fair (as someone else just mentioned) the only thing that isn’t clear is Budge doesn’t have a preferred candidate or a shortlist, hence while we’re going around the houses.

Hiring a football manager should be a decisive act. Having a “process” is fine but you would expect some commonality in the style or approach we are looking for.. we’ve supposedly interviewed McCall, Cotterill, McCann, Ross.. tell me what do that lot have in common? .. now linked with Warnock and Want to talk to Robinson , and McPhee is still in the running.. its like a game of pin the tail on the Donkey.. we have a fabulous decisive board who absolutely know what they are doing off the pitch, on it and what is require do match day - utterly clueless! I get what you are saying but I disagree. Going through due process is not indecisive or indecision. Speaking to as many people as possible is not a bad thing. Having a review of the full extent of the market interested in joining the club at the time a vacancy becomes available is not something to be criticised. Speaking to people without clubs first before going through the ball ache of approaching clubs for permission to speak and where things will undoubtedly go public is entirely sensible. Not just appointing the first person that tickles your balls is a good thing. I see no indecision in our process so far - quite the opposite. We are following the path exactly set out a couple of weekend ago. And we are not panic buying. Edited November 17, 2019 by Jammy T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never been a CEO of a football club or recruited staff for McDonalds although I’m sure neither take several weeks to interview & employ anyone within the business. I don’t have any wonderful insight into how a football club is run. However, as I’ve previously said IMO having a deadline to get CV’s in was a mistake. You don’t hear of any other clubs announcing that (please feel free to correct me on this) Budge/Hearts don’t have weeks to sit on this. From those who have applied, draw up a shortlist of preferred candidates & only interview them. It’s not stupid at all, repeating the same mistakes as last time & not learning from them is stupid.

Jammy T Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) Re MacPhee and his duration of tenure. There is an entirely justifiable reason we feel we can trust him for a medium term in the interim role. He is responsible for many of our squad actually being here and, crucially, key injuries are starting to clear up. Even just Walker and Naismith back will see results improve. It was clear in the end that Levein had to go. It is just as clear that as we get more key players back results will improve almost no matter who the manager is in the meantime. Of the people at the club MacPhee is by far the best person to lead that for the time being. I am relaxed about it all.
