Odds on next manager

Jack Ross has failed badly at Sunderland despite having the biggest budget in that league.

Actually that’s harsh. Inherited a car crash and was doing ok this season his sacking (based on his stats) was frankly ridiculous.
 

I’d be very happy with a Jack Ross appointment. .

Haven't read through the whole of this thread but...how the hell is Stuart McCall being quoted in these odds?  He still speaks about Sevco as `we` and `us`.

They’re Motherwell mate. What do you expect them to achieve? 

 

Name one realistic candidate? 

 

 

 

 

It's the easy appointment, the obvious one. 

 

Take the on form manager from a smaller club. 

 

It has been Wright, Archibald, Johnstone, Holt, Hartley etc mentioned in the past. 

 

It's an appointment we've made 50 times before. 

It might work, might not. 

 

Imo Likley work for 2 years or so then we'll hit a wall, 4yh, no cup runs, a poor quarter of games etc and we'll be looking again. 

 

It's the obvious choice from our league but not inspiring imo. 

 

We have a great opportunity here. 

 

We should be aiming as high as possible. 

 

We've thought outside the box before, it failed with Cathro. 

I hope that's no put us off from being brave this time. 

 

Robinson isn't a bad choice, but it's not inspirational, brave or exciting.

motherwell under Robinson have never been anything other than average, they have not in any way performed above expectation, he stuck by donkeys like Curtis Main and their fans aren’t bothered their arse if he leaves or not..

 

Craig Levein got us 2 a final and 2 * semi finals, cup runs mean absolutely **** all.. knocking out Motherwell

on the way

there are countless better candidates. An incredibly unimaginative dull pishy and expensive appointment IMO. 

 

 

He took them to 2 finals in one season. How many Hearts managers have done that?

 

Not saying I'd want him, maybe the best option from our league though.

Where’d you expect him to finish with Motherwell? He’s 3rd just now and got them to two cup finals. That’s pretty decent given their budget. 

 

Were you happy when JJ was appointed? Because before Hearts he was relegated with Falkirk.

 

Folk can step up you know. I don’t know who you would want to replace Levein but Robinson is a very realistic option. 

 

This is Hearts, not Man City, we don’t have the money to pay managers anything over 200-300k a year.

 

Any appoint we make will have an element of risk attached. We can’t get a top manager. The managers that are available have failed elsewhere and been sacked as a result. The managers that are successful are eyeing up more lucrative moves elsewhere. The reality and the cold hard truth some folk are going to have to accept is that if we’re taking a manager from another club, it’ll be someone who is stepping up, not down.

I know, the point was - a few on here talk about Stephen Robinson as if he’s done something special to stand out from the crowd. When in reality, he’s don’t absolutely nothing of note at any point in his managerial career.. then they reference 2 cup finals - so what! One win and this levein team would have been to 2 cup finals..

Get the impression that many posters think we have a bigger budget than what is actually available. O'Neill and McInnes are on much higher salaries than Levein was on and there would be large compensation to be paid. Moyes is intriguing but he would have to work on a budget a fraction to which he is accustomed and on bargain basement wages compared to previous jobs. If he was willing to take it on those terms then fair play to him and he would be a good appointment and a tracksuit manager which is what we need. Roy Keane will earn more with Sky then he ever could at Hearts. If you read his second book his management style is hardly progressive by his own admission. 

I can see why we would go for the likes of Robinson and it's a reasonable appointment imo.

I agree, It’s not an inspirational choice but it’s a pretty solid choice all things considered.

 

He’s built two teams at Motherwell on a much smaller budget. He knows the league. He plays on the front foot. He’s blooded youngsters who have moved on to bigger clubs or have attracted serious interest for big money.

 

The problem is, who else is within our wage range that you could look at and say, stick on success? 

 

That is the problem for the board, they cannot guarantee that, but they can take an educated punt.

 

Folk are wanting guys like O’Neill, Hughton, Moyes, those guys wouldn’t answer the phone for £500k a year. Yet folk are turning their noses up at younger managers like Robinson, Ross or even Neilson. That’s where we will be looking.

 

You could look at managers in the English lower leagues but it’s a different setup down there, they play very differently and there’s guys down there who have won promotions and done badly or gotten relegated at other clubs.

 

Danny Cowley was probably the most recent coach down there with a pure success rate at every gig he had. Nathan Jones had Luton flying, playing brilliant football but is now toiling at Stoke. There is no other outstanding candidate there at the moment.

 

They could look at coaches in foreign leagues. Coaches in the Bundesliga 2 or 3 or Scandinavia. Again, that’s an enormous risk. They don’t know the league, they don’t know the culture or possibly even the lingo.

 

The board could invite applicants. Then they’d have to sift through 300-500 CV’s of utter dross, from managers who have been sacked elsewhere. That process could take 4-6 weeks including interviews.

 

The reality is that if we are headhunting a candidate, it’s going to be someone who is stepping up a level. 

It’s not going to be someone who has won 10 trophies and league titles because we can’t afford to pay that sort of money.

 

Whoever the next coach is, they will be meh, great or utter shit to some but they will definitely be someone from a smaller side who is coming here to take on the challenge and prove themselves. 

[Shanks said no]

I remember the last Motherwell manager we appointed, that worked out well!

Why would we go for Robinson? What has he done bar a lucky cup run? did he achieve at Oldham? Sacked! , has he achieved in the league with well? Em 7th and 8th so nope! Do they play great football? Certainly not 😆 

 

so it boils down to a lucky cup run, even thought the manager we are firing has at least an equal cup run

All fair 

 

He's the stand out in our league and the most obvious choice. 

 

A foreign manager could bring in his own staff but have guys like Locke or kirk about as coaches so the risk of culture etc is mitigated. 

Not a complete team of say  6 random Germans turning up as the coaching team, massive risk. 

 

I'd like this, but I have no names at hand. 

 

Big names like Moyes stand out, more so imo as they are already loaded and may want a gig for Purley football reasons. 

He's also Scottish. 

 

A big name - Purley after cash, no chance I agree. 

 

Being pretty captive to the English and Scottish markets the mind does go to Robinson, but I'd like something different. 

 

The  Scottish guy from the swiss/ Swedish league, the Dundalk manager, even David Robertson in India. 

 

Don't know what happened to them tho.

[CloustonHMFC]

The biggest problem with our support is that a good number of us have these illusions of grandeur. Pure and simple, we couldn’t afford some of the names being touted for the gig. That, unfortunately, is a fact that we cannot shy away from.

 

The board are now in a position where the last two appointments have been a failure. Do we look abroad and try find a gem in the Spanish/German/French lower leagues? We could, but it is a MASSIVE risk that could very quickly go south. Do we try pick someone from lower league in England? Just look at Hibs for an example of how that can turn out.

 

Right now we desperately need someone with knowledge of the Scottish premiership. We are second bottom of the league and really can’t afford to be taking a chance on some unknown character from the continent.
 

Stephen Robinson, while not an ‘inspiring’ appointment, would be a solid appointment for where we are and what we require. He knows the game, has done fairly well with a Motherwell team who probably have about half the budget we do. He’s not going to set us up to dig in and try sneak a goal and is most definitely not afraid to have a go at the old firm. We could do far worse IMHO.

 

Who else, realistically, would people suggest?

Really not a balanced synopsis is it. Leaving the cup finals out of the discussion he is out performing their budget in the league, has rebuilt after losing important players and has shown a willingness to bring through young players. These are strong credentials if you are looking for a decent value appointment as a chief executive and conceivably lower risk than appointing a bigger name on more money that hasn't managed in the league. I understand you are not keen on him but a measured consideration of his performance at Motherwell can be viewed very positively. Oldham are a bombscare of a club and I wouldn't make any judgements based on performance there about any manager.

Why do you think im hot and bothered ? Because I’ve pointed out to you that Robinson has done nothing to warrant this job? Despite your lengthy posts you’ve done nothing to explain why Robinson would be a good appointment bar reference a lucky cup run, state that he built 2 teams (which were distinctly average), and state he brought through young players.. (which has **** all to do with Robinson and everything to do with morherwell very well established youth setup)

 

We will get hundreds of applications.. maybe we should just find the best candidate instead of making a lazy choice paying a fee for a guy who has achieved absolutely Nothing. if Killie can appoint Juve assistant manager or Steve Clark we can find better than a guy who highlights are.. well he has no highlights - that’s the point!

We're also a few wins from 5th with lots of injured players to come back. 

 

Even if we were mid table now, we'd only be a few points of bottom so your logic is flawed, severely. 

 

 

You can't allow say 3-6 points of a difference with 27 games left influence your decision. 

 

To say you'd make a different decision if say 5 points better off and in 6th, to what you would now is crazy. 

That shouldnt be an influence, never mind a deciding factor in who we appoint.
