Go foreign, someone with good English and someone who brings new and innovative coaching skills. Pay more than we normally would and we will reap the benefits for years to come. We have been in a rut for years and the only glimmer of hope was Stendel. That is the route to go. Go for someone like Stendel, and see if they can replicate the complete and utter failure that he brought to club. He might bring couple of ridiculous signings from abroad and insist in playing a goalkeeper who has never saved a shot. Can't we just win league and be satisfied.

Root and branch change is needed but that will come only after she decides she’s had enough. 😞 Craig leiven made it clear that he advised budge to get neolso back.

Save multiple threads being formed, some that last for years after string months into a mere few into a managers tenure. Folk could go to town and rip the current manager however they see fit without clogging up the board with threads discussing the same repetitive shite. Stick to the Hibs interloper !

gnasher75 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Things are not going to get any better under Neilson. We will be struggling in the bottom half next season assuming we get promoted. I would love to know what his amazing vision is that GMS was so impressed by... sounds a bit like Levein's 5 year plan. Stick with me and I will take you to the promised land one day. Reappointing Neilson was a mistake. Should have gone for someone in the same mould as Steve Clarke. A good coach, with experience and the ambition to challenge the Old Firm. He could be tempted back to club football after the Euros - he must be bored stiff! - but I guess Celtic will be after him. Unfortunately, paying off Neilson and his staff will be expensive and I can't see it happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwidoug Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Wonder how much we have improved since Livingston, yes Livingston, demolished us 5-0. If we were to play them again at their ground, how would we fare? I'd like to think we'd put them in their place. The reality however would probably be very different and this is Livingston we're talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOnlyWayis51 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 He's picked up an absolute poisioned chalice of a job, but if he doesn't keep them up then I'm still impressed with what Tommy Wright did at St Johnstone. They're a pishy wee club, barely a thousandth the size of what we do and should be battling for relegation in this league, but are/were never an easy game and he brought the best out of some of his players and as soon as he built them up, the board sold them. Give him a team where he can bring his players in and actually keep them and he'd do well. Of that I have no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about a drama queen You might not agree but we’ve just been demoted to the championship after she sat back and watched us in relegation form for nearly two years then appointed a manager who done as badly as the guy she just sacked after she failed to secure his assistants and didn’t give him the advice or support he clearly needed in arguably the most important transfer window for years.

gregzy2k7 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I Would take Alex Neill (1st choice) David martindale Davidson at St J could be decent Frank lampard (probably wages and status would be an issue) Michael appleton Robbo If we do decide to recruit a new manager (I'm really hoping we do now) we have to do it during the summer, we really have to do our homework this time and get someone in who is the best candidate for the job, I would prefer it if budge isn't involved in any way in the recruitment process because she tends to hinder that process rather than help, I'm almost positive it was her that wanted robbie back in the first place. Somethings got to give, I'm just sick of what we are being served up, It's not good enough. That might come across as arrogant, but ffs we are heart of midlothian, not musselburgh athletic or some junior mob, we are supposed to be one of the biggest football clubs in Scotland!

jbee647 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Half the problem is we always try and go for someone with a Hearts background, this is the mistake we keep repeating Id go for Jim Goodwin, it’s obvious he is a manager whose career is on the rise, he knows how to build and organise a team, much like JJ, excellent man manager No one is ever going to take the league from the old firm, forget that idea, that’s never ever happening in this lifetime But we can certainly strive to be best of the rest.

So many jumpy c☆nts on here its awful. Mostly youngsters i expect. There seems to be a feeling that we have a divine right. Maybe that comes from kids that grew up in the Romanov era.

David Black Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 We have discussed in the past what we should do with the £ 1.5 million we pay into the club each year. Should it go towards the upkeep of the stadium, the transfer budget, or we could allocate £ 500000 to £ 750000 towards an experienced foreign coach. That is 50 to 75% of the total monies.
