Surely the whole point of having Savage and this Recruitment Analyst we're advertising for is for them to identify the players based on what the head coach says is needed. Regardless, he wouldn't be the first manager in the history of football to have an absolute nightmare and then turn things around. I get it, we've been absolute pish and the performances and attitudes have been shameful and that ultimately falls on him. Before last night I was all for him going in the summer but the performance yesterday, with all the caveats that go with it only being Alloa etc, was so much better and if he can keep that going through the remaining games and into the Betfred groups (assuming they go ahead) in the summer then I think that's just about enough to let him get a chance to prove himself in the top flight.

BRING_BACK_MO_BERTHA Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 He almost certainly should go but I think it’s pointless to sack him whilst Anne is still in charge. Whilst she has always wanted the best for Hearts and helped save the club (and gave the managers loads of backing) ultimately she has proven very poor at getting the right manager and players together for all bar first season. She isn’t the only one to blame for sure but I’ve lost faith in her getting the football decisions correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Not for me. Now promotion is secured, I suspect we'll see a return to recent form and results in the remaining games. The players lifted themselves last night to get us over the line but I doubt they will again. They've failed so often to be "up for it" when there's been Cup progression and important points at stake. Little chance of them showing any appetite for what are now 3 meaningless games. A welcome performance and result last night but it doesn't make a successful 2021-22 any more likely than it was last week. A malaise is a malaise, regardless of one big win.

Not a single one would want him out the door. This is probably the most relevant measure of how good a job Robbie Neilson is doing, and is expected to do ongoing. Dundee United fans weren't rushing along to the Tay bridge to jump off it when they heard he was coming to us. Rival fans won't be losing any sleep over worrying about the impact they expect Hearts to make under him next season. Hearts fans will have to give him the chance to show that he can bring us a team to be proud of. Significant progress will need to be seen to be done immediately, due to the years of decline that have been seen to be accepted by those running our club. That isn't all Robbie Neilson's fault, but it's what he signed up to. He's done himself few favours with the way his team have played this season, or his constant excuses along the way. Like it or not, that Brora debacle will follow him around unless he manages to conjure up a trophy or European qualification very soon. Bobby Seith didn't recover from 01/01/73, despite having a great start to the following season. Football fans, all of us, are very unforgiving of embarrassing results. That will never change.
