Anyhow, that list is perfectly fine. All good ages, loads of very good playing experience at a high level, all very good Hearts players, won't be difficult to deal with financially, will all be motivated and will realise what an opportunity it is, and most have the kind of management experience that is well suited for the Championship if that's where were are. If we're in the Premiership, that's a different story. We'd have a wider pool to choose from and in fact Stendel would probably still be our manager. Fine? Kirk and Naismith have never managed. McCann and Pressley have been dismal failures elsewhere and it would be a huge step up for Naysmith. There are no former Hearts players up to the job IMO other than Robbie Neilson Edited June 16, 2020 by Jamhammer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggieb Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Sun saying Daniels off? Probably means he’s staying ? I hope so but if not I wouldn’t mind player/manager Steven Naismith , feel he owes us something and would hope to pass the passion for the game he obviously has on to the remnants and newcomers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally wouldn’t thank you for Tommy Wright or Robinson (Who’d be mad to leave Motherwell anyway) I want something different. I want someone with no fear of the OF. Who won’t accept the status quo We need someone to get us out the championship immediately, fear of the old firm is absolutely of no consequence , not even Guardiola is getting near Celtic in this lifetime, we want a coach who knows Scottish Football and makes us best of the rest on a consistent basis, Tommy Wright and Stephen Robinson are the obvious candidates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

500ClubCraig Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 For me the question being asked is the wrong way round. It should be “Who wants to apply for the position?“ We shouldn’t be chasing potential candidates, they should be showing their desire and knocking the door down to get to be Manager of HMFC. Advertise the vacancy and if DS wants it put him in the mix with everyone else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he's some young, thrusting coach on the way up. There is zero evidence he could work with better players, a bigger budget and higher expectations. He got St J in the top 6 like Stuart McCall and many other managers of smaller clubs and he got a cup win via a run that didn't see him have to face the OF at any stage, unlike some of the other smaller teams that have won the cup in recent years - Hibs, Caley (I'd honestly rather have Yogi Hughes than Wright), etc. There have been so many vacancies for bigger clubs in Scotland during his time at St J and clubs in League 1 or The Championship in England and he's never been serious contender. Tommy Wright could easily be our Terry Butcher and Butcher at least managed at a higher level before Hibs.

Could be any of them, with Kirk assisting if he doesn't get the main job. Maybe even JJ in our hour of need. I am not sure he’d be the right choice. His record is Ok, but no more than that. If a non ex-player had yah record we would not even want him considered. Indeed Tommy Wright has a far better record, and many are resistant to him. I would not say he is off the market, though. In Robbo’s case, I never would. If he had an inkling we were interested, he could have signed a contract with ICT to ensure they are adequately compensated if he did leave. He would wan to see them right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregzy2k7 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 If Stendel is a no go? I'm not really one for looking back but surely Paulo Sergio is worth a try! Loves the club and I'm sure I've read in the papers that he would walk back to us? He probably feels he has unfinished business here. Maybe this time he really will finish H1b5s of for good! His record is decent for us, Although we only finished 5th! It was a difficult season off field, 100% win record in the derbies and 2 wins against the tic! Probably most of our players weren't even getting paid and he still won us the cup and got us into Europe. If he can't take the job then and only then would i consider tommy wright.

Sertse Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I've got to echo what a lot of people are saying here about hiring ex players. It feels like a lot of people are chasing the glory years and they'll be sorely disappointed when the inevitable happens and they make an arse of it. Naismith has no managing experience for one. JJ is in his 70s now and not in the best of health. Robbo is happy at ITC. People even suggesting ex hibs managers in here, wtf is going on? The mindset needs to be that we want a new golden age instead of trying to relive it. Hiring Stendel didn't give the instant results we needed but it was a brave move and how we should be moving forward. Nothing ventured nothing gained. The last thing anyone should want is us becoming an old mates club where we can't get any new ideas or faces in. With that mentality, we might as well get bloody Levein back.

Then with January being important for transfers it was felt that it wasn't the right time to take focus away from it. So the search has been a victim of circumstance.
