Guest ToqueJambo Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 He wouldn't be top of my list of ex-players with lower league Scotland experience.

Saint Jambo Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Fans expectations are pretty unrealistic. They don't want someone without experience but also don't want someone with any failure on their CV. That pretty much rules out any manager in the world. Promoted with 3 of the 4 teams he has managed is, as the OP says, an excellent recordΒ of promotion in the lower leagues. He got successive promotions with Alloa and following promotion managed a top 6 finish with Dundee. He has 7Β years of experience as a manager. He is certainly not a crazy suggestion based on his record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not just a legend he is THE legend of this football club. Why risk tarnishing that.Β Β Let him stay at Caley, enjoy his football for a few years. Quite handy to get them set up as a bit of a feeder club as well, few of our ex-lads and loan lads up there, away from the big city, focus on their footballΒ with a manager we can trust to look after Hearts boys careers properly... Even big Brad MacKay has carved out a career for himself and he wasn't the best iirc.Β It's a good club I'm happy Robbo is there.Β Β Hartley on the other hand, I think would be more suited for the pressure cooker.Β He had the pressure cooker of the vlad years as a player, and also Celtic.Β A bitΒ more all round experience of the modern TV era game, been around many clubs, the younger generation. More a match for some of our players. The direct comparison for coming in to Hearts i would say is getting Dundee promoted for the first time in 12 years. That was a high pressure gig but he did it. Now everyone seems to just disregard that achievement because he didn't get them inΒ top 6, then it went tits up. That promotion was huge for Dundee, look at them now, back down for another 12 years probably, searching for another Hartley to take them up again (if they exist which hopefully they wont and Dens gets bulldozed, 10,000 Hearts fans would probably turn up to watch that).Β Β HartleyΒ has had ups and downs as a manager, FOUR promotions across all 3 lower leagues.Β If he stays at Cove, You'd probably back him for another successiveΒ promotion next season. Promotion specialist and our goal is promotion. Plus if it all went wrong for him at HeartsΒ I don't think it would tarnish his status much, he's aΒ greatΒ but not to the extent of John Robertson, nobody is or ever will be. Β If it's not Stendel, for me, go for Hartley.Β Not to mentionΒ theΒ cup semi final against Hibs at Hampden will need dealt with. AS far as I'm concerned no matter what happens in the league, that fixture must be played.

Rick James Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 He did do a very good job at Alloa, I will give you that. Β Dundee, he was expected to get them up, and once up, they invested a bit of money in the playing squad for a top 6 finish. They scraped into the top 6, although would've finished 8th were it not for the split, and finished a whopping 8 points behind Hamilton, who came up with them on a much lesser budget.Β Bear in mind, despite the fact they were a newly promoted side, they had no Rangers, Hearts or Hibs to contend with. Even in 15/16, they wanted another crack and failed, still with no Rangers or Hibs. 16/17, they struggled to stay up and even lost to an Ian Cathro side. Β He was pretty shite at Falkirk, and while he's done well at Cove, have you seen their budget and squad? Β Love PH, a real hero for me growing up watching that team, but like Pressley, I don't think he'll ever be good enough for Hearts. Definitely not any time soon.

Β Β Can't fault any of your points at all mate, I just think he's still got a bit to learn before he maybe becomes Hearts boss. If he had no Hearts connection, he's not someone who'd be on anyone's lips. I'm just reluctant about anyone who is a 'Hearts man' coming in right now, after we had our fingers burnt with Levein. He's a great example of how to tarnish a legacy at a club, and it brings me a degree of sadness that is happened. Obviously though, in an ideal world, every manager would be a successful ex-player who's career as gaffer was just as successful as when they had their boots on. I'd back Hartley to the hilt if he was appointed tomorrow. Β As for Stendel, I've just nailed my colours to the mast for long enough now that if he was going to leave, then I think he'd have left already. He's been back in Germany for weeks not taking a wage, while the daily news condemns us to relegation more and more. I think if he wanted to cut his losses and trigger his clause, he would've, and I don't think Budge would stop him. He's fought tooth and nail to get this far, and in the eyes of many, will be seen as having a relegation on his CV if he sticks around. I can't see him taking that hit to his reputation then walking with it. I think he'll stay and try and win it back. Β At least I hope that's the case.
