Right then, Next Manager?

A_A wehatethehibs

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.

Classic example “putting the cones out” get this crap every time someone mentions a name who is new into coaching or management. 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.

Absolutely. Guys that know how football should be played.

From what I've seen of Maloney he'd be another Cathro. Quiet guy, leadership might be tough for him 

Good coaches don’t always make good managers for whatever reason. Classic example being Alex Miller. 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.

Alex Neil - Head Coach

Steven Naismith - Assistant Coach

 

Alex Neil signed Naismith when he was at Norwich. I'm assuming they have a decent working relationship.

Just an idea.

McInnes has been wanting the Hearts job for years. Its possibly good timing all round for him to become our next manager.

Derek mcinnes would be an excellent appointment, he knows the league and will be motivated to put one over dave Cormack also comes over very well

Calebs Grandad

Kjetil Knutsen of Bodo Glimt. Delivered their first ever title last season and he’s Norwegian coach of the year two years running. 103 league goals scored last season and has developed young players for the club selling Hauge to AC Milan and Zinkernagel to Watford

Must be a foreign English speaking coach, who has a track record of entertaining attacking football, who will bring fresh ideas to the coaching, someone the players will enjoy playing for and someone who can bring through and improve our youngsters in particular.

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?

Mark Wotte? Strong background working with kids, although not sure he's really a box office appointment. An idea though (not posting because I particularly want him, more just to put another name into the hat).

I think what gets him for me is he’s been at a small club -Alloa and done well , he’s doing a decent job at the shite house of a club he’s at right now but what do I get is the impression he’d stand for no nonsense from the players . 
 

If the job did ( and should) become available it would be interesting to see the list of names applying for it

Unfortunately I'm inclined to agree. I absolutely hate the guy :lol: but he has St Mirren playing good football with a solid defence. Fair play to him.

It’s got to be Alex Neil, someone who clearly has a bit of steal about him and demands work rate from his team. His right hand man is our Sporting Director - get it done. 
 

I’d also welcome Stendel back and I’d settle for McInnes - however, I’d be worried by his Levein/Robbie hybrid style.

Never thought I’d say this but I’m afraid Naismith needs to go as well.

Keane, Holloway or Neil.

If you mean Roy Keane, then no chance, but I would take him.   Holloway, has some funny quips now and again, but no thanks.   Neil, not sure, but he knows Joe Savage, so would be happy enough. Would take him before McInnes, who I am not bothered about.

Scottie Wanshot.

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.

Unless of course Savage was glad to be away from him when he left PNE?

Do you know something? 
 

I only ask as there was absolutely no suggestion of that in his interviews. I think he even said he sought Neill’s advice.

Looks like the 6 page 'Right Then, Next Manager' thread is proving too complicated.

I have no inside knowledge at all. Just throwing out a hypothetical counter argument. It’s all the rage on here these days.

I would be stunned if Robbie was removed but something has to change.

The board statement earlier was meh.

No worries FWIW I have no inside knowledge either. But all things being equal I doubt there was a fallout and I think it’s help our cause in getting Neill.

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. The fans knew Levein’s time was up after the Livingston game but she kept him on for another year (?) and look where we are now. 
 

It’s over.

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.

You accept now that Neilson needs to go ?

Absolute joke decision.

Has to be Wee Robbo and Neil McCann as his assistant, at least they would have the team fighting for every ball, or they would be kicking there BALLS.

I reckon he’ll do the honourable thing and retire from playing at the end of the season. Just a gut feeling.

I would accept him going - yes. 

I would also accept him staying. 

 

It's a result based business and last nights result was sackable imo. 

 

If he doesn't get sacked, I still get behind the team and hope after promotion we kick on.

 Not sure.   We also need to remember Robbo is on Compassionate Leave. It would be wrong to approach him, and appoint him, whilst he is on such leave.

What happened to the irsh guy that had his team in the Europa group stages? 

 

Can't remember his name, what's he doing now? 

Was it a purple patch or consistency?

Must be a manager who is not intimated by the ugly sisters in Glasgow.

 

I was absolutely dreading travelling to away games next season under Neilson, as his whole attitude in these games sucks.

 

Neilexit must happen.
