A_A wehatethehibs Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Ive always fancied trying to get a Dutchman in as manager. Bring us a bit of that total football, try and get afew Dutch / Belgian / Danish type players. Obviously we would not be able to get the real top guys, but Hearts would surely be of interest to a lot of the guys at the smaller clubs in those leagues. Always felt that players in those leagues, can be within reach financially and could offer something different, technical skills which could make an impact in Scotland. Mark Van Bommel, Clarence Seedorf, Philip Cocu, Gio Van Bronkhorst. All out of work managers. Probably the money might not interest them but you never know. They are looking for an opportunity to make a name as a manager, to make an impact at a club. Those guys are all maybe all a bit too high profile as they were world Class players, but there’s got to be some good coaches who are down the pecking order a bit, who would be a decent fit for Hearts. The big advantage is there’s no language barrier at any level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is a winner played at a higher level than Robbie and won much more than Robbie working for Roberto Martinez. I’d like to see you’re suggestions. McInnes, built an enviable dynasty at Aberdeen. Always top six, always bringing through young players and getting to cup semi finals and finals. He'd be my top choice. Other suggestions: Neil Harris, did well at Millwall affordable, Tim Sherwood, love the cut of his jib very much his own man and builds attacking teams. Alex Neil, good coach he'd do a fine job too.

Dreadful manager at Hibs then goes on to settle for coaching and he’s at Liverpool winning CL and FA Cup and keeping them at the top end of the EPL as part of a team. Then he decides he wants to be a manager again and makes an arse of it in various leagues around the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And try shopping outside the usual places. I know it’s not the same but I’m watching the Chelsea Wolfsburg women’s CL game just now and Wolfsburg play great football in a very organised system. Are we supposed to think their manager isn’t good because he manages a women’s team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottie Wanshot. Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 After the first league game of the season, we really haven't kicked a ball. except in the cup games. Robbie can't get the team playing for him, tactics all wrong. no fight even when we went down 2-1 last night, there was no fight in the team. I know he will keep his job unless we don't get promoted, "heaven forbid" I would like to see John Robertson coming back and possibly Neil McCann as his assistant, at least he would have the team fighting for every ball, if they didn't he would be kicking there arse off the field.

There is literally only 2 options here - he’s sacked or he resigns. He will never recover from that result. Ann has surely learnt her lesson.

JimmyCant Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 5 hours ago, Smith's right boot said: Eddie Howe, Been out of a job for the best part of a year. Record of building a club from the bottom and punching above his weight. Probably out of our reach. MicInnes is just Robbie but stayed at Aberdeen to get them consistent rather than leave like Robbie did first time round, he's also fallen away the last few years to end behind, Kllie, hibs, Motherwell. Maybe he needs a new club to freshen himself up but the recently sacked Aberdeen manager isn't the ambitious and exciting appointment many will want. Neal would be one that could be interesting for the various reasons folk have stated. Goodwin- God no. Can't think of a foreign coach that would be interested.
