The Suns story last night gave me justification on my part that I wasn’t posting ‘pish’ (as @Deviskanhad said) and it was an all round girfuy to the many posters who had taken a similar stance to him. I’m posting in good faith believe it of not but retrospectively I’d agree, it wasn’t a good look.

A lot of people seem to be making out there is a confusing or contradictory picture being painted here. All the media has reported is:

 

1) We'd have to pay a lot of compensation for him;

2) We identified him as number one target;

3) We contacted him but he wants to stay in England.

 

As I see it, a pretty clear picture has emerged. We are (or were) interested but we'd have to pay through the nose and he doesn't want the job anyway. Everything else appears to be straw-clutching based on the word of well-known attention-seekers on here and voodoo-esque belief in bookies' odds.

 

Hopefully I'm completely wrong but I just can't see this happening.

Stendel was offered the chance to come up and be interviewed. He declined that opportunity. He declined that opportunity because he wishes to remain in England. His agent who we have spoken to informed the club of this on Wednesday.

 

You stated earlier he was in talks with the club and the media were stirring it. Now he’s an option but we’re looking at others. 🤷‍♂️

 

And to think I got accused of covering my bases by others 🤣

 

 

Must’ve been sightseeing then. Hope he had a go on the Ferris wheel.

Austin is intelligent and good with the media if we win our next couple of matches he must be in with a chance.

Does anyone else think he looks like a young Bjorn Borg 😍

 

Looks **** all like Bjorn Borg bar the long hair and rubbish facial fluff.

 

@Iamborg looks MUCH more like the chap ypu're on about.

 

The rest of your post is pretty good, though.

If Mr the McPhee walks the walk then he deserves the gig.

Loosen up guys. No matter who is appointed they have a great squad and can’t do any worse than Levein

He’ll be at the game tomorrow then?

 

Or have talks concluded (24 hours before our next game) and he’s away home without taking the opportunity to see us play?

 

Which would be strange if, as you state, he’ll be our next manager??

I’ll be at the game and if I see him I’ll take a picture and post it on here. I’ve no idea if he will be at the game, I do know that he was in Edinburgh I’m Wednesday and Thursday though.

Just give the gig to Gary Holt and let him kick a few erses ( Whighton and Clare in particular)

You took justification that your weren’t posting pish from a Sun article...really, that bastion of truth The Sun?

 

Then you have the audacity to say ‘forgive me for taking anything they say with a pinch of salt’ regarding The Daily Record.

 

Cringeworthy levels of contradiction.

 

Why would you need to take justification from The Sun if you’re being as honest as you say?

 

Why are you saying you hope you’re wrong...when you’re saying you know you’re right? That sounds a lot to me like you’re guessing...

Made it all up mate. You got me. I love nothing more than posting under my real name online and chatting dung.

There won’t be a picture.

 

If he was in Edinburgh it wasn’t to speak to the club. His agent had already done that for him.

Spot on. 
Absolutley no point in giving Mcphee the job. We need someone in who will have all the fans pulling in the same direction. 
A completely fresh start from the shambles we have had to endure over the last 3 years. By all means make him sporting director but definitely not the manager. 
I just don’t get why everything has to be so complicated all the time at Hearts. Just identify a manager and go and get him. Within budget obviously. 
Don’t come back after 6 weeks and appoint Mcann or Pressley or the like and say they were the best man for the job. That won’t wash this time. 

This.  I'm planning on getting a half season ticket but only if Mcphee is not given the job.  He had his opportunity to stake a claim for the job in that semi against Rangers.  He could not have fecked that up better if he tried.  We were served up an even more negative team selection and approach than Levein.  Something I thought was impossible.

I'm just replying to folk who replied to the point that fans can help sell the club to managers.

 

But yeah, you're right, nothing to see here. Fans hire planes all the time when their club is 3rd in the league. And all fans deface their own crest after some poor form. I'm sure "Hang [Insert name of owner who just saved the club here]" graffiti is extremely common. What's embarrassing is the lack of universal condemnation for that stuff.

Deary me.

 

Things of interest to prospective managers:-

 

What is my salary and length of contract?

What budget do I have for players?

What are your performance expectations?

 

Things of no interest:-

 

Anything Toque Jambo apparently found on Google.

That’s a wee bit harsh Randy Marsh , Rangers had a full squad not 1 injury no one returning from injury and on the back of decent win in Europe and results in the league , every time  someone in a Maroon shirt sneezes they are out for 3 months , we did ok up until Whelan went off and yet again it fell apart in Glasgow, hardly the game to pin a guys possible career on

He had  two days and half the team was missing. 

If that rangers team hadn't beaten that Hearts team, Gerrard should have Been sacked.

It is harsh.  But Mcphee has little credit in the bank.  He has been the assistant during two of the worst runs of form in our history.  The fact he started Craig Shiteton in that match shows how clueless he is.

FWIW, I hope he’s in Edinburgh now and I hope he’s at Rugby park tomorrow as I’d quite like him to be our next manager. Despite what others think, I want to be wrong on what I’m posting. I’d happily take the ridicule if it meant him being appointed ahead of some others linked.

In fairness he is completely awful...Wighton that is, not Randy Marsh. He'll never make it here (rightly or wrongly) as he's so emblematic of the Craig Levein debacle.

 

Austin knows the players and their strengths and weaknesses, 2 days isn't long but he'd best get used to it if he wants to be a manager in the modern game as it won't be unusual for him to prepare for 3 games in 7 days. Fair enough if he was a new guy who wasn't at the club, but he's been here long enough 

 

 

Edit: to be clear, I didn't expect us to win that game and don't blame him for that but what was served up was dreadful and isn't inadmissible in judging him for the managers role longer term.

Mate we got a thoroughly deserved draw against them just two weeks previously.  Surely it wasn't asking too much to show a bit more fight on the day.  The whole team selection was shambolic.
