I know that Bodo/Glimt are an exception, but their budget isn't that much higher than ours. If there is a 'mythical next level' for teams like Hearts to aim for, they're proof of it being possible. They're in pre-season and they still went to Glasgow and battered a good Celtic team FFS

 

Bodo/Glimt along with Union SG in Belgium disprove the Robbie fan boys theory that money is the only factor in winning the League.

Hopefully as soon as 3rd is confirmed the board act quickly and tie him down. 

 

We must see what he can build here and avoid the mistakes of the past and quite frankly avoid what our rivals are going through right now as the flail about in the dark trying to patch things together so they have a resemblance of a plan. 

 

The board  must not entertain a loud, but small band of discontents and cannot let him leave as easy as last time as it Litterally cost us 5 years of progress.

Tie him down? Who is going to want him? He has already failed down South. A rolling 12 month contract is sufficient

3 year deal, pay rise.

Never gonna keep or attract the best with 12 month rolling contracts. 

Ridiculous notion. 

Thankfully it is  one the board won't entertain with Bob or any manager.

You made that up - why? 

 

The fan boys are correct that it's a big factor, as many more leagues will prove but it's not the only factor. 

 

Making up lies to have wee passive aggressive digs - tut tut. 

 

Not angry, just disappointed.

We’re 10 points clear In February with our closest rivals in free fall- I’m not overly concerned. We were never going to play all 38 games this season playing fantastic football. 

But we do need to be getting either 4 or 6 points from next 2 away’s cannot afford to drop points need to be going into the split with game over for 3rd place and a platform for Scottish cup success and a confident feeling for European football next season and to build a better team for next season. Incoming players should be queuing up to put on the maroon….

The best lol. Robbie is now the best haha. If we did attract a top manager then the contract would be worth increasing but as I say 12 month rolling is sufficient for Robbie

Like I said he won’t be going anywhere, no one bigger than Hearts would want him. Be foolish to Chuck more money and time than is needed. He has time to turn it around but they will be noticing the lack of enthusiasm and feel good despite where we are sitting. How many tickets have we sold for tomorrow? We had 3 stands up there last time for a midweek game

No idea how many tickets we have sold though the time of year, possible weather and recent poor form will certainly have taken a hit. Such is the way of football, even with ‘top managers’.

- We would be bottom six and fighting relegation 

 

All this so the can go "see - I was right about him all along".

Good sentiment, but-

 

Check the euro money they will have got last few seasons while we were in the championship and bottom of the top league. 

 

Also, Check the Norwegian TV deal money. 

 

They also play each other twice.. I think. 

 

I agree with the general point and they do offer hope but even they ( I think) got promoted in 2013, finished 2nd in 2019 then won it. 

 

It's not happened over night. 

 

 

Long term steady progression, more and more  evenly split  TV money, play each other twice, European money.... 

 

We're on the first step of that ladder, doing well and because some folk are impatient arseholes  and some hate our manager they want to rip everything up and start again. 

 

****ing melts. 

Putting themselves being right ahead of what is best for the club.

Weather and time of year are bollocks and you know that. If Hearts were playing well the fans go. Always been the way. Ticket sales are a barometer of how the fans feel, not extremists squabbling on a fans forum. The feel good factor has gone and the board will be aware. Like I said Robbie has acknowledged it and has time to turn it around

You make less and less sense the more you try to talk in riddles. 

You have little facts or substance so resort to slavering more pish than the usual rabids. Fair enough

 

 

Must be shite not being able to enjoy us being 3rd, cup qf and European football incoming. 

 

If you can't enjoy that, then I guess you'll never enjoy Hearts much, if at all.

Fail to win today and it’s 1 win from 6 in the league without any clear signs of improvement. If things don’t improve results/performance wise then we should be looking at things in the summer. I agree with Robbie that we need to look at the bigger picture, which is exactly why we should be reviewing the season as a whole. 
If we are going backwards under his stewardship and it doesn’t look like he has the tactical nous to get us moving forward again we should look at replacing him

But but but we are third and in the quarter final. We are lucky to have Robbie. 
 

Fans that accept mediocrity are a huge problem for this club and hold us back as much as terrible decisions off the park. 
 

We are Hearts and we are a big club and I expect a siege mentality to hammer every team that comes our way and if we don’t we go down fighting.

My only issue is if Robbie goes who do we go for ?

[SomethingAboutObua]

The biggest problem with sacking Neilson is the same folk calling for his sacking and wanting a USG/Bodo manager type don't understand or accept they'd need a season, maybe 2, to move us from where we are now. I'm open to us trying to get someone in that in the long term could challenge at the top, but there's no chance these loud voices that aren't happy with us 3rd and in a quarter final would give any time to some unknown from the continent 

 

Just realised USG are owned by the billionaire that owns Brighton as well, so that's the out the "it doesn't take money" conversation
