Rudy T Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 The date for final applications is today. Was he perhaps on a shortlist of say 10 so far, doesn’t mean he was getting the job. He does fit a certain profile though which I’m ok with. Experienced, knows the Scottish game, young manager a few of the things we’re probably looking at. He certainly won’t be the last manager we’ll ‘miss out on’ in the next couple of weeks (according to the sun etc) I also don’t doubt whoever us and Hibs appoint the other will have missed out on them according to the press!

MarkDevriesScores4 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 nonsense. Doesn’t fit the criteria as stated by Budge.

Arrogance seems to be a trait of the position. You can manage anyone if you're given resources. When Davie Moyes ruled himself out, the reason for me is that it's because we have no major resources and he probably thought/knew he would fail. People like him and others that have managed bigger clubs in England are chequebook managers, not real managers. I'd love to see what the likes of Jose Mourinho or Ranieri would do with a club like Hearts with no resources, well the type they'd need, not a lot would be my guess. People like them would be scared of the challenge. Even Brendan Rogers would struggle at Hearts. I'd like us to bring in a manager from abroad who would love the challenge the same as Paulo Sergio did. 'd rather not bring in ex-players again like Robertson and definitely not Neilson. If money is so tight that we need to get someone from within Scotland then looking around, there is really only Robinson now, realistically. And if it's true that they really are looking at the likes of Derek Adams then we really are up shit creek wi'oot a paddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauld Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) Going against the grain perhaps but I'm not seeing what makes him a bad choice. Took over Ross county and won promotion at the first time of asking. 2 years later he's got them to a scottish cup final, beating celtic and hibs along the way. Left to become hibs assistant. Went back to Ross County after a year with hibs and won the championship. In his first season in English football as a Manager he guided Plymouth Argyle FC to the League 2 Play Off Final at Wembley for the first time in 20 years, In the following season, Adams guided them to a 2nd-place finish and promotion to League One. Yes it eventually went tits up but that is how it goes for every manager eventually. From what I can see he's been a success everywhere he has went until that inevitable point.
