combo74 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I’m not advocating McCall, however I’d love to see a list of managers that our fans do think we should be going after...I suspect it would be total fantasy. Literally every name that has been mentioned has been shot down...even potentially high profile ones! Moyes, Keane, Warnock, Hughes, Magath...not good enough. Cotterill, McCall...dinosaurs Robinson, Ross, Holt, McCann...not Hearts standard I get that we should set a high bar, however I worry that fans expectations are ridiculously high.

I’m currently compiling a list of hypothetical but likely quotes we may hear from the Blood Pressure Crew upon the new appointment when it’s announced. ”Budge Out” ”Levein involved” ”Wont be back” Where is the best place to park” Why didn’t my mother ever hold me” Bingo tickets are a Quid a strip. 1st prize is a season ticket in any filled in corner of your choice.

Bazzas right boot Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) When some folk dismissed Moyes in favour of Robbo or Robinson, the jkb manager opinions went up the pole imo. JKB is generally nonsense most of the time but the manager talk has taken it to extreme levels of ridiculousness. Folk getting angry over things that may or may not have happened that may or may not lead to something is just another chapter. It's entertaining tho. I do worry that some folk get themselves into a state over very little and I feel some are just setting themselves up to hate the new manager whoever it is.

clark963 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 This is getting bonkers. I come on in the mornings and have a wee read to try and get up to speed with all things hearts, looking for little snippets of info that I can spread around various group chats I'm in. Every managers thread is full of the same negative nellys accusing Budge of lying or taking the piss as far as the next manager is concerned. She has to know this appointment is huge people genuinely thinks we'll appoint Staurt McCall? Like really? We are a certain level, that level appeals to managers of varying levels. You've got your Jack Ross and Robinson types - a bit of experience hungry and imo good coaches who would use hearts to springboard themselves to bigger and better things. I have no problem with that. You've got the has beens - Felix, McCall, Holloway - they'd apply for pretty much any job they're all finished imo The dream candidates - Moyes who i was against but in truth is a massive name with bags of experience - Warnock - mental but I'd probably take him for the banter and I do think he gets teams fighting and winning games they need to win. The outsiders - the german/european guys - I have no idea about any of them but the posters who I find speak the most sense feel this is the way we should go which is fine but I dont know enough about these guys to fight their corner. If they did get appointed I dont know how long Willie Miller and co would give them before they start digging at Ann for again thinking outside the box and making snide comments on their accents and the way they dress. I still want Robinson or Ross. Lets stop this nonsense about Budge taking the piss ect she knows how big this selection is ajd to say otherwise is pant wetting of the highest order.
