Odds on next manager

I'm starting to lose the last shred of confidence I have left in Budge.

 

I'm thinking the best option would be to leave McPhee in charge until the end of the season or hire a manager on a short term basis until the end of season, only priority is to stay in the division. 

 

We then replace budge with someone more competent when she hands over the club at the end of the season, then appoint the sporting director and manager.  I don't trust her to make the correct appointments for us long term, I hope I am wrong but the longer this goes on the less confident I am. 

Budge is staying on for another year as Chief Executive I am told

Leaving McPhee in charge till the end of the season would be suicide.

If you gave me a Fiver right now to bet on that list it would be goignon Alan Irvine at 20/1. If Stendal is considering other options then Irvine will be the choice this week IMO

What makes you think that ?

 

Not a dig just wondering how you think they would go for Irvine

I believe he was Naismith's recommendation, I heard Pressley mention him last night and from what I gather he's a well respected coach, has worked with youth players and knows the Scottish game. Seems to tick a few boxes. Aside from WBA he's got a fairly decent record as a manger based on stats - I've not looked at much more. Its just a hunch, definitely not claiming to know anything.

Nah didn't think you were saying you were in the know was just interested how you felt that about him.I really just thought of him as a number 2 so good to read more insight into him.

It looks like the whole coaching team has lost some if not all of the dressing room. The players can't be as shite as this surely. Correction, given our record of recruitment the latter is looking increasingly more likely.

MacPhee is a non starter for me and a clean slate is vital to sort the mess we are in.

The players will have given up in McPhee long before Levein went. He’s clearly got no talent and is bluffing his way along as a coach.

Hopefully not. I'm still banned for posting some ITK information that wasn't well received. Will be vindicated when he's announced in the next couple of days.

I agree with you but he won’t be Hearts manager for two reasons.

 

1. His record as a manager.

2. We don’t need a noisy minority against our new manager from the start.

 

Mind you, given that even John Robertson wouldn’t unite the fans on here, option 2 has a certain inevitability about it no matter who is appointed. Even if Stendel is given the job today, some tit will say he’s not happy because he never tore up the Championship with Barnsley and in 3 years time when we go on a wee bad run, the poster will quote himself from today and say, “I told you so.”

He said himself he's not in for it and acknowledged he needs to make the next career move a right one to allow his career to progress. 

 

I think everyone knows he was in a stronger position to get the job in 2017 but won't be under consideration this time.

After listening to Presley last night it left me thinking pretty much the same ... ( could it even be possible Presley as his no2) if he was to get the job

I think I'd rather Irvine than Stendel.

 

Main thing for me is whoever is given the freedom to retain/get rid of the crew of coaches we have. You cannot bring someone in and say here's a ready made team.... McPhee, Park, Fox, Daley, Kirk, Naysmith, Rankin - up to the new man to decide, not Budge. PS, I cant possibly know, but lets assume an average annual wage of 50K for each of them, thats 350K !!!

£350k is peanuts. i'd double that for quality. I'd save plenty on getting rid of players who should never of been at a team like Hearts.

£350K is not peanuts for a team like Hearts, to put it into perspective that is circa 700 season tickets.
