He is not an ex footballer so is less likely to get himself too involved in tactics/selection matters which raised questions (passing notes to IC) when CL in post. ,On the plus side he is an experienced administrator, seems capable on paper at least, and will have many contacts in England for permanent or loan signings. On the minus side, as someone said earlier, his wage would/could be a problem and woud he want to leave his home town club. That is however the type of appointment we could benefit from.

manaliveits105 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Was in Thessalonika once and we were toiling to get passed a squad of burly Greek bouncers into a outdoor trendy bar - during the conversation with them one of them asked me which team I supported and when I said Hearts he said Takis Fyssas comes from my village - moments later we were drinking in the bar - true story dat . Great player Takis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelgeJambo Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Bevington spoke very well on Sportsound a few weeks back. Wages would be a problem though Neil McCann is a no for me. Would be like Cathro mark II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something about him I like. The problem is, he needs an experienced Sporting Director/Director of Football to guide him, and that for me isn't Davie Weir. I don't know who it is, but I don't see it in Weir. For me, McCann is a future Hearts manager. Stendel is the current manager, and for me he should still have first refusal when we're ready to start back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavK1012 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Bevington is a non starter simply due to wages....the boy was top of the tree not that long ago....I would bite your hand off for him but cash would make that a non starter....

Could be a good appointment Don't want him anywhere near Hearts - Hearts and Falkirk made him into the player that went onto do very well for himself down south but the only team he ever talks about up here in the Huns,whenever he came back with the Huns to Tynecastle he never showed any appreciation to the fans unlike a lot of returning players even when at another team (Neil McCann for example after signing for Rangers warmed up with the Hearts sub's at the Gorgie Rd end rather than going to get applause from the Rangers mob and our fans loved that ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always comes across as intelligent and considered; coupled with his considerable experience and contacts he ticks a number of boxes for the role.

I think people also focus too much on him being at Rangers that they ignore what is the important question, would he be any good for the role. As far as I can see it, the Sporting Director role (at least as it was made out back in November) is to be in charge of running or dictating the policy of: - recruitment (but work with the manager) - Academy - Womens team - all other non-first team football related matters So would want to know what David Weir (and other candidates) brings to these areas to make them the best candidate.

OTT Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Seems to be Weir. Not sure how enthusiastic I am about that tbh. I think when you recruit from within Scottish football, particularly with a guy with a history at the OF there's a good chance if he gets any success thats where he's heading.
