Coburg Hearts Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 1 hour ago, Ethan Hunt said: This is probably more like it. I would be amazed if we haven’t received applications from far better managers than Derek Adams. Forgetting Budges “very experienced, high profile” quote there is no way that the club will not be shortlisting and interviewing for this post. Whoever interviews best will get the job. For a newspaper to suggest we were just going to circumvent the whole process by going straight for Adams is, quite frankly, utter nonsense. Especially when the deadline date for applications had still to expire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree though that the fact she was prepared to give him time will be a plus with any potential managers. your last para is the same when any club changes manager otherwise they wouldn’t be changing. Substitute Arsenal, Man U, et al for Hearts and it’s the same - players that are not good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Rob Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 We’re basically chasing the Holy Grail here - we’re looking for a manager who is capable of making a club competitive at the top level with fewer resources than their rivals. There aren’t many managers around who are capable of that, and those that prove they are tend to get headhunted for jobs at big clubs fairly rapidly. Doesn’t always translate though - for every Alex Ferguson there’s a Davie Moyes. So it’s unlikely we will get anyone who has a track record of this sort of over-achievement. Our choice is a young manager with some success at a lower level and a thirst to prove himself, or a more experienced manager who may have over-achieved at one club, but has failed at others, and we have to hope he has the right chemistry with ours. Adams fits the first category, though as AB has said we’re looking for an experienced and established manager, I expect he wasn’t first choice.
