On the continent, particularly at clubs like Ajax, the youth coaches are paid in comparison to the first team coaches, they are seen as just as important, Ajax have always produced home grown talent, it is the ethos of the club and many other clubs in Europe, Porto too, so they pay there youth coaches accordingly, these clubs take youth development seriously, not like in Scotland where we only pretend we do (In Scotland)we need to start paying the best coaches the best salaries to attract and coach the best young talent Edited December 22, 2021 by jbee647 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on the bench for a few games recently when there were covid issues with the coaches. He has been coaching at the younger levels though, and you only have to look at how successful those levels have been in terms of trophy winning over the last few months to realise he appears to be having a big impact. I've posted previously saying I thought that when he stopped playing he would possibly end up back at Kilmarnock, where he started. However, I was very pleased when he decided to stay at Tynecastle and start coachig here. What he does have is a strong winning mentality, something which would have been instilled while he was at Rangers. And it matches the thoughts Joe Savage has about what he expects. I would like to hope that Naismith could stay at Tynecastle, learn a little bit more, both with us and with the help he is giving the international side, and eventually be installed as our manager. I believe he is the sort of person who can take us to the next level. Well he does coach the first team, I have watched him coaching them, so stop there, he will be a big miss if goes.

If he goes, we do take a hit and I and many of us will be really disappointed. But it's not about us, it's about his career which I believe will be a good one.

TommyC Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 He'll be a miss for us of he goes but if we are to benefit from him as a manager in the future, having experience before managing Hearts will be important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem, I was unaware that his role had extended to first team coaching as well, but I'm happy to be corrected. It does make sense though, and possibly helps understand why he was the person whose comments were taken on board at Livingston in terms of Woodburn being removed from the game.

I know for a fact it wasn't true at HFC Haarlem 10 years ago because I knew one of the youth coaches, he worked for free for his CV while first team coaches were paid. Ajax and Porto do both bring through a lot of talent but if you're saying that's because the youth coaches earn the same as the first team ones, then nope.

They educate, they make strong, calm, intelligent people. I mentioned Haarlem before, when I lived there Ajax had loaned them staff and players to help them get through tough times, they never made it unfortunately.

That was when I lived there, I met a couple of them marching to the game. All they knew was to come out the station at the back and keep walking. I told them it's a couple of miles but they didn't care. HFC Haarlem were Gullit's first club and Advocaat's first managerial gig, they would have gone bust not long after this though, either that winter or the next I think.

I didn't know about the links with Gullit and Advocaat which is interesting. I remember it was difficult trying to get to and from the game but it was worth it.
