Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 When fans were wanting Levein punted there was a thread largely raving about Robinson Now that Levein has been punted and Robinson May be in with a shout fans are going mental. Come on people - we need to get a bit of a grip here and quit moaning about everything to do with the club. Personally, I didn’t want Robinson when he was last mentioned and I don’t now but at least I am consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Dee Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again. At least half of the support will be ‘underwhelmed’ by our next appointment. I’d hope we all give the new man a fair shot at it, but just because he might not be everyone’s first choice doesn’t mean they’re unacceptable appointments.

Musemic Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I'd rather see us go for some young European coach for example (not that I have any names in mind) than the same old names that get trotted out every time there's a vacancy in Scotland.

Think BIG please Hearts , it is what we deserve. Exactly! Where is our ambition? Where is our imagination? Robinson would NOT be a big, imaginative, or in any way ambitious appointment. A highly-experienced and successful (I know, I know, there are blips) track-suit manager like Moyes, with our in-house on-field “manager/captain” Naismith, is exactly the type of appointment we should be looking at. Do we want to be a mid-table team forever? I agree with you, EH16, this is our great opportunity to think - and act - BIG! C’mon Ann and the committee!

heartsfc_fan Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Given that Motherwell's budget is something like 8th or 9th highest in the league he has been performing to that if not slightly better. Not an outstanding appointment but a solid one if it happens. He knows the league and seems to have an eye for a good player. They performed well at Tynecastle recently.

The SPL club have set their sights on the 44-year-old to replace sacked Craig Levein and are ready to pay the £120,000 compensation needed to prise hm from Fir Park.

Would be replacing like with like IMO but without the contacts Levein has. There would be new protests within 3 months IMO. We wouldn’t get a change in style of football, we’d still have someone that shits it from the Old Firm - would be a hugely uninspiring appointment. I’ll take the fact the Ross is second favourite as proof that the bookies don’t have a clue here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should perhaps attract a wider pool of managers. New Sporting Director role seems to be separate doing things not in remit of manager like youth development. The Director of Football was a position created by Levein for the benefit of Levein. Delighted the position has been punted along with him!

DH1986 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Robinson would be a steady the ship type appointment. He’d get us Top 6 then probably plateau around 4th or 5th.....which is obviously miles on from where we are now. It be great to find someone who could take us beyond that within a season....which isn’t impossible. Robinson would be my safe pair of hands option if we didn’t our first our second choice target.

GorgieFifeLife Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 If Robinson is the level of manager we are after then we are once again being taken for mugs. There is absolutely zero evidence that he can be a success at a club of our size and implement a better style of football. Would be a gamble appointment and if we want a gamble I'd rather stick with Macphee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar the league cup game at the start of the season everytime I've watched us play Motherwell home or away they've performed pretty well under his stewardship. Heard him speak a few weeks ago on das radio and enjoyed listening to him talk about football. Has track record isn't glorious but he realised that the hoofball wasn't working last season and changed their whole approach by the end of the season they were playing nice stuff with lots of clubs after there latest batch of academy graduates and a strong finish in the league unlucky not to make the top 6. Personally he'd be my choice but can see why you'd be a bit wary. Think Moyes would be excellent but cant see it as Craigs spunked all the cash on dross.

Absolute Scenes Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Before we lose the plot, lets look for a minute - he knows the league, has a pretty decent record with Motherwell (fans are thick, so those wanting him out failed to see he has a pretty good win percentage overall), is a very passionate manager and would gain players respect quite easily I think, he would a great manager to have in matches like Derbies (imagine a last minute winner, I could see him doing a lenny plane in front of hibs fans). His previous record wasn't great at Oldham, but then what manager could we honestly afford who has had a consistently good managerial record, that isn't managing already at the top of football?

Nothing is definite, but he knows the league and at least has Motherwell finishing where they should be (if he can do the same for us I'd take that as a start). I just don't know who we think we're going to bring in who is available in November and also a proven above-average manager at this level. We sign someone solid if unremarkable like Robinson, we sign someone promising but untried (see Cathro), or we sign a has-been. That is unfortunately our current market.
