I’m not saying I’m not optimistic about him but to read into it the board identified him through contacts and knowledge!!! Give me a break, Kickback created the conditions for this to happen and it worries me the board didn’t have a plan. Ffs please don’t start this ‘h’ thing already... you sorted the plane yet??

So he wasn't in the interviews, but if he's still lurking in the background then he shouldn't be and it's an example of Ann Budge being dishonest Absolute made up garbage. He had no say in picking the manager, as Budge said. As you well know he is still 'lurking in the background' as you put it, again as Budge said.

1953 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 If what I'm reading about Stendel bringing in his own staff is true then no wonder the negotiations are taking a while. That'll be 7 or 8 people coming or going which equals lots to organise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sit in section to the side behind the dugout and McPhee looked to be the man in charge of directing the shambles more often than not. Occasionally Daley would chip in with his tuppence worth. 3 amigos right enough. Head scratching was often seen It's a conspiracy though mate, we must have been tripping.

Cruyff Turn Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 5 minutes ago, Sir Gio said: McCann had 2 problems at Dundee. Firstly he wanted to play football, reckon that would work for us. Secondly and the bigger difficulty, he struggles with pressure, great lad, but turned into a lunatic under the cosh McCann’s style of football would have fans launching chairs onto the pitch. That pass it about the back nonsense doesn’t work at Hearts at all, Levein tried it and folk were tearing their hair out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, his last 2 league games were a win and a draw. They were top on the 30th January. His record after that was L W W D L W D. Then sacked. That's not a shambles. His record in the 2. Bundesliga was P25 W13 D7 L5. I'd argue you might want to hit the books yourself. 👍 all we both care about is the job he will do if appointed my friend, sure that we can agree on that.

McCann’s slow boring unnecessary pass for passing sake stuff at Dundee was the reason they got relegated. The best football Hearts have ever played in my lifetime was under JJ and Burley, where the ball was always played forward and it only went backwards or sideways so it could be played forward again.
