The thing is though it shouldn't need to be this way as surely they can see how dreadful it has been for the most part this season.Its totally uninspiring and rubs off on everybody I mean surely to **** they are not sitting happy. I agree. She's staked her reputation on him in her last throw of the dice. He's not leaving and anyone thinking he'll "get a round of games next season" to prove himself is missing the point : if it comes down to that it will be a disaster. It's literally Robbie or bust.

The board absolutely needs freshened up, I would honestly like to know and hear more from Mr.Mckinley about what he is actually doing/planning? He is CEO after all! another farce. I think that John murray needs booted out on his arse and his position should be taken by savage who should be our head of recruitment, Then of course RN and his coaches should be politely told to leave and a competent manager appointed. I can't understand the continuing obsession with John Murray. I don't know if he is still here, or in what capacity, but I would imagine any influence he had has been severely diluted by the appointment of Savage, otherwise what was the point of hiring the latter.

Who knows what is going on at Hearts. The communication is very poor you’d think Hearts TV would inform the subscribers what goes on behind the scenes and interviews with CEO, Board Members, Scouts, Stadium manager, Hospitality, Coaching staff, Head Steward, Chef’s, Ticket and Shop staff, and anybody who has anything to do with Hearts. I mean what we get for our Hearts TV subscription is badly lacking. Hearts TV £5.99 a month. Edited March 31, 2021 by mitch41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JS was appointed as Sporting Director after stints at Hamilton, Norwich and PNE, all involving key responsibility for scouting and recruitment. I doubt he would have come to play second fiddle to anyone. With that sort of previous experience, only a cynic, or someone utterly biased against the club, would believe that he is not now the scouting supremo, communication or not. Despite that I would expect heavy input from the manager before a signing is completed as he is the one who will ultimately carry the can.

My worry is Neilson can't tell him want he wants.We were going to be playing 442 within 4 games it was we were going to play 433.January came and he wanted a target man and b2b to play 442.Throughout this time we have played mostly 4231 with two holding mids our b2b midfielder brought in has played I think one start in his proper role.

We’ve just had the worst result in our history meaning we’ve been put out of both cup competitions by part time clubs and robbie is doing an awful job of getting the best out of his players. Rather than wait ‘till he ruins next season, it’s time for him to go now. I was willing to let him get the start of next season but had no confidence in him to do a good job but results change people’s minds. The ‘response’ v QoS was an embarrassment too far. It’s more surprising that folk actually want to give robbie more time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
