Thomaso Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 13 hours ago, Glottis said: Is it just me or is there a ridiculous over reaction the the amount of time taken by the club to appoint a new manager? Austin was made caretaker manager until an actual manager was appointed- this is common in football. I expect some fans to lose their shit about this, (many will lose this shit over the slightest things) but the media and in particular supposed Hearts-friendly media have went into overdrive. Graeme Murty has been Rangers' caretaker manager twice (for a month after Warburton, then two months after Caixinha before being formally made manager), At any point did the media lose their shit over this? I don't remember it. Would I prefer a new manager quickly? Yes, but having a caretaker is nothing new in football The problem was the team was in free fall and (equal) bottom of the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had sin the last four games then he would have had a case to be considered but that was always very unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The narrative has been Ann Budge is clueless, lacks confidence in her our decision making and therefore is dithering about. My suspicion is that once this deal is over the line, we’ll once again have our eyes opened to how diligent, driven, and single minded she has been to bring in our new manager. I'll hold you to that when Stuart McCall is announced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rods Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 4 hours ago, Rudy T said: Mikey Stewart, Gary MacKay & Alan Preston hate Levein and for as long as he’s at Hearts they will find an angle to have a go at Ann Budge and the club, the current narrative is too implicate his presence at the club as the reason for the delay. Which is clearly bull shit. Willie Miller hates Hearts always has and will use any made up shite to have a pop at us! The papers need a story, Celtic and Rangers are pissing the league so that’s not news, so it’s open season on us. I heard them say last night they know nothing about Stendal but it’s fashionable to have a German coach, advocate Jack Ross as the perfect candidate only for Tom English to piss on their chips... so cornered on that one it was back to Levein bashing. Make no mistake they are desperate for Stendal to fail so they can get stuck into Budge and keep the Levein ruined the club story going. Superb Post and I have been thinking the same. We as club/fans better prepare ourselves for the usual narrative from the media regarding Stendal. Its been all to easy of late for these pundits to have a go at the club and the players. Now is the time as fans we need to get behind the team. Leave your booing, hounding players etc at the door and just get behind the team like the good old days.

Nelly Terraces Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 With performances & results getting worse over a 3 year period to the current point that the club sits in the relegation zone & has lost its last 2 games by an aggregate 8-0 scoreline it's only natural that the fans of ANY club may start to be getting a tad impatient with the wait to bring in a new manager. Especially if the old proven failure of a manager has only been moved to another position in that club & not sacked altogether. To go online & start a thread re the above situation IS a huge over reaction however as well as a willful, ignorant, disregard to that situation.

Hearts_fan Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 23 hours ago, karipidis said: My issue was the 2 weeks we wasted interviewing people who should be getting interviews. If we had gone for Stendel from the outset he would be in by now (going on the basis he is on his way), and would have had the team better prepared for Ibrox and ready for Wednesday. Dr Hindsight is always right, yet not clever enough to know everything without conducting research. Interviewing a number qualified candidates is obviously a sensible thing to do as part of any recruitment process. Perhaps we learned from the process of interviewing the other candidates that none of them were deemed good enough... that's self-evidently what happened.
