Robbie’s latest statement

[Pasquale for King]

Unless he’s saying goodbye I’m not that interested in what Levein style garbage ha regurgitated this week.

Aye nothing to do with his tactics 

or Halliday being the worst midfielder I have seen 

Harsh on Halliday, we've had plenty worse. I'll maintain that Halliday gets a hard time on here as he's openly a Rangers fan. He certainly isn't going to wow you off your seat with tricks or flicks but he does a lot of the dirty work.

[Jeff]

If we had played fantastic football all season then lost to Brora and QOTS then that's all well and good.

 

We have been pants all season you eejit

“You want a good performance, you want to enjoy it and entertain, but we also want to win. It's about doing both. We've done that regularly this season and we need to continue that.”

 

Really worrying if he things we’ve been regularly entertaining this season!

See to be honest, apart from maybe the first Dundee game and Raith away I can't remember many of the games due to the dull, turgid football we have been subjected to.

We have been bad for near on 5 seasons due to him and Levein,  time for him and Budge to go

Least it’s moving in the right direction it was only a blip a few days ago !

I think he does , once he leaves his future employers will be a struggling premiership team soon to be followed by seasons in the lower leagues.  Being at Hearts is as good as it gets and he'll only leave when punted .

Correct. No half decent club would bother. Budge will probably extend his contract.

If he stops that sort of utter bullshit he wouldn't get as much of a hard time. However, what with him being a smart arse, he probably thinks most of us will come round to swallowing his crap sometime soon.

Smart arse? Robbie needs to realise when you’re not smart you’re just an arse!

[Guest ToqueJambo]

Do people really think managers make statements 🤣 They answer questions and generally try to be positive. What do folk expect from Neilson? He isn't a Neil Lennon type who's going to rip into his players in public. He's also not someone who goes into great detail about systems and footballing vision. And he's not a wind-up merchant who'll try to get a laugh. He knows fill well the media will take anything remotely controversial he says and turn it into a headline so for me he doesn't really give them anything. Quite similar to Gerrard in that respect and the way he'll rarely have a go at his own players in public.

Witch hunt??? A witch hunt is when someone is hunted and punished when they are totally innocent - does that description suit the situation with Neilson?

 

 

The official Robbie Neilson Out thread was posted on November 20th after we'd played 6 and won 5, including beating Hibs on the cup. We were top of the table and looking forward to a cup final. Of course there's a witch-hunt. The last two results (I'm not one of the poor "performances" while winning = get the sack crowd) raise questions but there is very obviously a section of the support that will never accept Neilson.

gerard 100% would if they drew with Arbroath and lost to Brora rangers and queen of the south inside a week .

 

Also I don’t think Neilson is able to go into the detail

Alternatively you could say that they were right but given that you’re only here to promote Budge’s excellence, you won’t admit to that.

Thought I'd explained it with "He doesn't really give them anything"? If you think that's how he is behind the scenes that's up to you. He'll be well aware we've been making heavy weather of winning this league since February.

Did he after they lost to St Mirren? I don't know or care. He seems to not want the limelight same as Neilson. Press duties seem a real chore for both of them.

Snoreson spends the whole time pretending he wants to play a style other than the style he actually plays, which sums up the joke that he is

I'm not sure he is well aware of it. He talks about the worst result in the clubs history like it was just a bad day at the office. 

[McCrae]

Had enough for this season.  Football is eye bleeding to watch. Hopefully next season  we will have a new manager and a team to get behind at Tynecastle.

As I say if you want to believe that's what he thinks that's up to you. uPersonally I don't think someone who's spent as long at Hearts as him would think that. Generally managers don't act or react like fans no matter how much you might want them to. They move their focus to the next game straight away.

Not for me. Sept to feb were enjoyable. Feb was a slog. March was horrendous. Onwards and upwards, whoever's in charge. Neilson can turn thing around. If not, he'll be in trouble. Most Hearts surely fans want him to do that? Some genuinely don't it seems so he will leave to be replaced by someone else they'll jump on after the first few bad results. Shades of wanting us to lose a derby when Levein was in charge. Can't relate.

Exactly, it doesn’t matter what we do between now & end of season. Their is no way back and time to move on, surely he knows that. We just cannot afford to give him the budget to sign next seasons players then 6 months in decide it’s not working. Fresh start better for all concerned.

Scoring loads of goals, paying back loads of teams, beating Hibs (can see why you "forget" that one) and playing in a cup final that was probably the most entertaining game of football in Scotland this season. Yes, I enjoyed it thanks.

There's a lot of assuming going on to be fair, like he'll turn it around next season. 

I don't recommend it.

As much as I want a change of manager I dont see the point in brutally picking apart everything he says. It's not up to him to sack himself. It's up to him to shoulder the responsibility and attempt to fix it and that is what he is conveying, quite rightly. Nothing wrong with what he said there imo for a man in his position. 

He should have been shown the door after our cup exit to Brora, not to mention our other cup exit to Alloa. Then another insipid performance which sees us beaten again at home to a team that have not beaten us in years.  For his own reputation he should be considering walking cause I can’t see any way he gets the fans back on side. 

[Zico]

I don’t blame him for trying to save his job but he’s a busted flush. No Hearts boss ever wins the fans back after the worst result in our history.

It’s just not in his coaching manual to play attacking football. He only went for it against Celtic the second half because we were down & out. A second half which shows what the players are capable of with the right coaching. Apart from that half and Dundee first game we’ve been boring and struggled against teams in the worst championship in years

I think he wants to attack. He's just not doing a good job of it right now.

[gnasher75]

So the good news is that it is just a two game losing blip and soon we will be back to our turgid best,  grinding out draws against mediocre opposition.

[Rocky jamboa]

He doesn't get it, does he?! Wish he would just feck off.

Exactly. It’s time to settle down and give the team and management a bit of slack. Constant negativity won’t help and even if Robbie is on the way out, no change of manager can change the team enough to make a difference in five games. We have a crap defence and that affects everybody’s game. Win tomorrow and the two remaining chasers can’t afford to drop another game. We’ll be fine but it’s taking too long and that’s what worries us all.

What is your evidence for this being “the worst championship in years”?

[siegementality]

I am bored of Neilson. I am bored of his negative tactics, his signing of crap players, his eye bleeding ‘playing style’ and the insistent drivel he speaks. Can he not just do us all a favour and GTF.

He's an absolute moron.
