Beast Boy Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I’m also in the not too worried about losing Weir to Rangers (and the damage he could do to us afterwards) category. If we lose him to Rangers, then he must have done a good job to attract their interest. There’s just as much chance of that happening with someone who isn’t a Rangers man, really. Agents have rendered things like confidentiality of contracts, and tapping up meaningless now, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gorgie Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I know there is a lot going on for the club right now but this sporting director role is a farce. We wanted a SD in first before we found a replacement for Levein, yet we've managed to hire 2 managers before this role has been sorted 🤷 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingle Bells Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Weir is an intelligent guy who put in a magnificent performance to help us win the Scottish Cup in 1998, against the Hun. He's also worked at successful Academies at Everton and Brentford. If he gets the gig I don't see a lot of minus points to the appointment.

Horatio Caine Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Weir, IIRC, was brought to the Famous from Falkirk by JJ. It was his performances for us that won him a move to Der Hun. I imagine he has a lot of affection and respect for HMFC for that reason alone, never mind the experience of winning the Cup with us. I think he'd be a great appointment.

Hairdryer Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 23 hours ago, JimmyCant said: 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 Highly unlikely but would have dempster at Hearts as ceo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ToqueJambo Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I think we'll go for Weir. This is a time for known quantities and I think Budge is taking a safety-first approach in everything she's doing right now. We can go back to interesting, "out of the box" appointments later, if we really want to. Right now we need people who know and like each other and the club. Maybe it's an age thing, but after over 30 years following Hearts it's the manager appointments (and often the player signings) that have generated the least excitement that have delivered the best results. Only George Burley bucked that trend for that brief but amazing period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt she'll have much influence in the decision, likely the owner who wants to cut everything back to the bone. I'd imagine there's been a fall out between her and RG and she'll be working a ticket. Added bonus for her if she can move to a bigger club and get one over RG.

A good CEO would have convinced the owner that cuts to wages were necessary for the long term stability of the club. She clearly failed in her duties and if she had any conviction she'd have given him an ultimatum and resigned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Graeme Souness as Newcastle manager gave £8m to Rangers for Jean-Alain Boumsong. That said, he also played Ali Dia for Southampton, so it’s possible he’s just a shite judge of a player.
