Odds on next manager

[Lord Beni of Gorgie]

Bet victor 1/2 MacPhee. 4/5 Ross for Hibs he was 1/5 on Friday. 60 % down there if you took  1/5.

 

Its educated guesswork 

[gashauskis9]

Would love Hughton to come to us.  Underrated coach and an absolute diamond of a guy.  Highly regarded by his peers.  Could be win win. Does well here and gets his big job in the Premiership in a couple of years.

To be fair though quite a fews time at Fulham has been a disaster.

Any chance we could get a manager who wants to be at Hearts for more than a few years

That would be an amazing appointment but sadly I think he will just wait it out and get another appointment in England soon.

Why would a SD be appointed before a manager is appointed though.

Mrs Budge is on record as saying that.

I just don't know dug, unless there is some sort of previous working relationship between the two but that seems unlikely. You're right though she did say the SD would be appointed first, just can't see a convincing reason why.

He said it was only recently he created a CV and moving to Edinburgh would feel like coming home.

 

He loves the city

I might be wrong - I often am - but did she not say it was preferable but not essential?

Maybe not, bookies odds are generally a combination of money laid and what they glean from their sources of intelligence which are often very decent. Might just be someone who knows him that has passed the info on, quite often unwittingly.

I would agree with you if it was racing or snooker etc., but manager odds are just a bit of fun and the bookies usually know about as much as you and I do. I suppose there are rare exceptions, though.

There should be some overlap on roles and responsibilities and both should be intelligent, confident and mature pros who can deal with that. I think some people look at the structure like it should have a military style chain of command. It needs to be much more fluid than that. Anybody overseeing academy stuff by default has a say in first team matters. Players should be developed that fit a style of play and get enough game time to be sellable assets. The manager himself should fit the overall strategy of the club, which the SD will be massively influential in deciding. We've failed if the SD is just a glorified academy director and any manager can just pick and choose what youngsters and transfer targets he likes based on short term goals with no input from someone whose job is strategic.

To be quite honest, the sporting director should be involved in the appointment of the head coach. But difficult to do that when you’re appointing both.

 

A legacy of having one man doing both jobs, as no sensible club would.

Could be that AB will have her own ideas of the responsibilities of SD and team manager. I doubt if she’ll be reading the views on JKB.

Its a partnership. Would be really interesting if 2 people teamed up and put themselves forward for the roles,  rather than welding 2 together

I think that would explain why she expects SD to be in place before the manager.

Sorry what I meant was, all being well and AB makes a good appointment that is here for a while, hopefully the next one is appointed (some way down the line) under the new fan ownership arrangement? 

Nothing more than an aside, while we speculate as to who it’ll be.

Dream job for Fergie, a good Hearts fan and a great coach at that, I know a number of lads who have been by his side in his younger years and a couple who have played under him... Not a bad word said against him. 

Maybe not the high profile manager some folk would class him as but I would bet my home he would never ever surrender a 2 goal lead in a cup tie at Tynecastle Park. 

 

£5 on him being appointed if the Robinson deal doesn't happen.
