Think you're correct and once we've finished completely our new stand aswell as pay off Mrs Budge we'll have far money money to invest in the football side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch41 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 14 hours ago, CJGJ said: Former Scotland internationals Dougie Freedman and Graham Alexander have emerged as candidates for the vacant Hearts job. The pair are in the running to succeed Craig Levein at Tynecastle as legendary German manager Felix Magath and Billy Davies also threw their names into the ring. Freedman and Alexander are both currently in jobs but Jambos owner Ann Budge has been made aware of their interest in the Gorgie gig. Freedman was hot favourite when the job was last available after Ian Cathro was axed and was on a five-man shortlist before pulling out of the race after being named sporting director at Crystal Palace. The 45-year-old, who has had three stints as a boss at the Eagles, Bolton and Nottingham Forest, is still in that role at Selhurst Park but is keen to return to management. Budge, who has had more than 30 applications, is stepping up the hunt for a new boss this week with a new sporting director also in the pipeline. Freedman & Alexander are just not good enough ok.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 The Sporting Director won't be appointed until he completes his international duty. Once he returns next week he will sit with his boss and select candidates to meet with. Perhaps someone in for Rangers December 1st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch41 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Most fans in my opinion wanted a Levein's Boot Room clear out and if McPhee stays on with the likes of Daly & Fox many of us will feel cheated and incompetent coaching staff are being retained because Ann is out of her depth.
