Victorian Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 It's a naw. Don't want to see the wee gimp at Hearts. Not Hearts material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Boy Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Just go after someone with a good CV at a similar or higher level from the past. Like we did with Burley. A proper manager who knows how to set up a team at a good level, and get results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldar Hadzimehmedovic Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Probably meh but he might be on an upward curve. The two cup finals, including two humpings of Aberdeen, an easy semi win against Rangers, and beating us, are what keep me on the fence. That was pretty impressive.

Getintaethem Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I'm of the opinion that we should be setting the bar as high as it will go and investing big money to bring in a top coach. With turnover now at £15m we can pay bigger wages to attract higher quality. The lift this would give the fans would generate more funds from increased hospitality and filling the stadium. Having said all of that, I wouldn't be overly disappointed if Robinson got the job. A win rate of 46% in his 124 games at Motherwell is highly impressive, he's no stranger to doing well in cup competitions either. so overall I'm a meh...

Martin_T Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Meh. His Motherwell team's played awful football up until January this year when an injury crisis forced him to play their young players. He has done well recently, but is he just flavour of the month? I wouldn't be against the idea, but I'm not inspired by it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Boy Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Just the latest name on the list that has had Hartley, Murray, McKinnon, Cameron, Murray, McNamara and McCann at the top of it recently.

Whatever Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Absolutely not. If we’re plucking a man on the basis he’s currently got an spfl team punching, I’d much prefer Robbo. Something very dislikable about Robinson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasavallan Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Raise the bar higher than the usual suspects. Let's face it, pundits in Scotland haven't a scoobie and spout out the first name that comes into their mouth. I haven't a clue but would hope the Board are looking at better candidates than the likes of: Hartley, McKinnon, Cameron, Murray, McNamara, Pressley and McCann. In retrospect, Gerrard was an excellent appointment by Sevco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasAndy Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 To be honest none of the names mentioned so far come with any guarantees of success. David Moyes is probably the biggest name mentioned so far but who's to say he will do a good job here? The main thing is that the Levein DOF shadow has been removed and whoever gets the job will be his own man. If that's Robinson then so be it. If he succeeds great if not then he goes.

Boyces beard Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Its a Meh for me, his record at Motherwell is decent but i feel we could do better.

gashauskis9 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) I voted meh, not because I don’t rate him, but because I want us to move away from this “young manager cutting his teeth” approach. I don’t think he’s ready for the challenge and would prefer experience to compliment the passion.

Enzo Chiefo Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 His comments today sbout allowing the Motherwell players to play with freedom and do things "off the cuff" illustrate to me that he would do a great job with better players at his disposal. A style of play that is the polar opposite of Levein's favoured rigid, cautious style of play which stifles players rather than allowing them to thrive. Could be exciting times ahead at Tynecastle if he is appointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s easy to say aim high but how much would we need to pay for a manager with a successful track record at a ‘high’ level...that’s currently out of work, and is happy with our player budget.

It isn’t unusual for better rated managers to go to smaller clubs and take them on. And what’s wrong with maroon tinted specs as a Hearts fan? What other ***** tint would they be? Its called ambition, taking a chance on just approaching someone to gauge if they are willing. After that you talk finance and budget.

S Form Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Would like to see who’s coming forward, but wouldn’t object to Robinson. I think he’s got the energy and desire to succeed. He’s probably not a revolutionary thinker as far as strategy is concerned, but I do think he’s someone who gets his players performing.

chester copperpot Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I alluded to as much yesterday as was told by a Motherwell coach (via text) that we were in for him. From what I have heard today, Hearts have asked for permission to speak to him but the feeling I get is that he's not all that keen. Might be a smokescreen but he's defo told someone at Motherwell that he's happy where he is. As I say though, may be a smokescreen. Before people question my post, my old boss is an academy coach with Motherwell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harko Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I would have Robinson - he knows the league and is doing a good job under tricky circumstances. For those who think Robinson is not at “the level we should be aiming for” - I honestly don’t get the hype some on here have for ex-Hearts players cause none of them are at “the level we should be aiming for” imo.
