PapaShango Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Budge is utter clueless on how to go and appoint a manager. We should have identified a target then go and make an approach and get him. Instead she's wasted weeks interviewing people that shouldn't even be in the frame for the job. No doubt Levein is still having his tuppence worth in the background. Utter shambles and we are sleep walking into a relegation battle. The majority of the players aren't fit to wear the shirt. I don't see anything to suggest this week will be any different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerraBelieveit Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Budge never does herself any favours in terms of getting the fans onside. The wait is getting unbearable & I'm sure the longer the wait, the more fans will start to think it's going to be an extremely underwhelming appointment. Budge probably has it in her head that she wants the manager to start at home which is incredibly needless and petty. Why not get the new manager in place at the start of this week & let him put his ideas across before we play Rangers. There is no pressure on Hearts whatsoever on Sunday, it would be the ideal game for a new manager. I'd rather my £32 went towards watching a team trying something new and something that they will be trying for the foreseeable future as opposed to watching the same unimaginative display with players shoehorned out of position.

gedster Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Having been pretty supportive of Budge, up until Levein didn't go at the end of the season, I cannot understand how she can in her heart of hearts for one moment believe she is not massively culpable for the shambles we find ourselves in. Money peed down the toilet on poor players, performances so abject that people can't be bothered turning up week after week, working in slow time on everything. We have become the pinkest, softest club in Scotland where football results, by her culture, are now second to non footballing activity. I really question if she is still the right person for the job. An underwhelming appointment and the critics will be out in further force. For whatever reason we didn't go for Jack Ross.......imagine we end up with Neil McCann.....it's worrying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2607 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I'd like to see a new manager in place by the end of this week. I had been happy for AB to take her time to appoint the right person, but I feel MacPhee is so far off the mark that we need to get someone in now before he causes irreparable damage (i.e. he's dropped so many points that we can't recover). Of all the names I've seen connected with both the Manager's and the DoF/Sporting Director roles, I would like us to appoint either Daniel Stendel or John Terry (don't know what it is but something tells me he'd be good). Was quite happy when I saw Sven Goran Eriksson was linked with the DoF job and would still be quite happy if he was appointed. I am slightly encouraged to see the bookies three front-runners this morning though - which are Stendel FAV, then Warnock, then Robinson. I'd take either one of those three right now. Come on Anne, make it happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this procrastination continues on we are at danger of writing off another season Who says they’re being thorough? Couldn’t the delay be as indicative of indecision or a lack of conviction in what they need to do next? Who says they’re being extremely professional? It’s been blindingly obvious that certain things have been leaked to the press. Given the shambles of the past three years, I don’t see how anyone can look at the current situation and say ‘this is all part of the bigger picture.’ Personally I have grave doubts about how Ann intends to replace a man she didn’t really want to sack.

The SD would be appointed first as she suggested, he/she would then be involved in hiring a manager. I guessed, the SD of choice perhaps would take a month to be in place followed by a manager the week after, with a spare week contingent. So, this week there should be a SD in situ. But I wouldn't put a penny on what I thought the logic is.

Mister Dee Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 The only logic I can see with the '4-6 weeks' comment was that she has someone lined up, but they can't join until the new year (for whatever reason). Its a crazy situation, were crying out for leadership -& the board is sitting on its hands. I dont just blame the board though, lots of the performances this season have been dire, the first half on Saturday may have been the worst of the lot. The players are not taking charge like you'd expect. I know he's not well liked, but when Presley was Captain, & Vlad sacked a coach, Elvis always stepped up and took charge on the pitch. Berra should be doing the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
