Anyone employed by Hearts, especially a prospective CEO, should have nothing but pure hatred and contempt for them. **** Hibs and all that sail with them, including Dumpster. Dempster is a former Rangers ST holder. her attachment to Hibs is purely employment convenience and she’s now a very experienced football administrator. If she is the best individual interested in the job I’m sure she’d do fine. As long as we look at everyone qualified and available rather than just pick one of Ann’s pals I’d be fine if it turned out she was the best available candidate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo1952 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Ffs, is it any different to having Ex Hibs and Rangers players plying their trade on the park for us. If it’s LD so be it, who cares.

mitch41 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 DOS or CEO all that matters is that they are the best we can afford and they are very competent in their duties. Discussing who they played for, worked for or supported is fine but should never be a problem employing them. Hearts should never be small minded by holding prejudices against people who could do a job for Hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamhammer Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I think it's pretty crucial that both our manager and SD can relate to the modern young player.

Pasquale for King Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) I’m not sure where people are getting that Gordon would want Hearts out the league. He is a money man, he wouldn’t have wanted to forfeit £130k, nor lose two derbies, she put herself forward and then left the reconstruction committee. He’s now cutting costs and sacking folk. He doesn’t do sentiment, any bad feeling towards us is coming from her. When he does sack her for failing to get a sponsor two years running she should be nowhere near our club.

Like, we'll all start supporting Hibs because they are the premiership team. Not sure how true it is, but there ya go The concept of a sports team being part of a community is totally alien to most Americans. They live on a different planet when it comes to professional team sports. Dundee's owners already changed the stadium name, just waiting for the first one of them, D Utd and Hibs to change their badge. And you'd think when they realise that, unlike in America, the system in Scotland is biased to the richest clubs with no hope at all for a level playing field, they're bound to get fed up. They're used to drafts and salary caps to try to stop one team dominating. Budge is quite right to have rejected at least two American advances so far.

As CEO he would be ideal with his experience, contacts and administrative knowledge within the game. I'm not so sure about (some of) the SD element of the role I'd be a little concerned re his ability to source managers (fortunately we have one) if Woodgate is anything to go by but, on playing recruitment, if RN was identifying our needs and Bevington's job was to go get them, I'd be much more comfortable. With Weir, I would have fears that his wide football knowledge might spill over into team matters and we could finish up with the same "interference" accusations as we had with CL and RN.

If the guy has the qualifications for the job, why should we worry about who else he has had connections with? All this talk about him maybe helping Rangers in ways that would be detrimental to Hearts is pure paranoia. I can’t think of any DOF, manager or coach, anywhere in the U.K., who has ever been accused of such actions by his club, after he has left that club. Does anyone have a relevant, solid, example of this happening? If he, in the fullness of time, we’re to leave Hearts to go to Rangers, it would be because he did a great job with us. We should stop thinking that we are an easy target for manipulation. The SPFL board, and it’s cheerleaders are currently finding out we are not an easy target anymore. Yip. D Weir is the ultimate professional, his rangers leanings won't be an issue. He's not k boyd or someone like that. All about who we think can do a good job. Weir would be quite a coup.
