tazhearts Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 During his interview on Hearts Word Laszlo is asked what he thought of Riccarton and he looked suitable underwhelmed by it (which is fair enough imo). He said he had some ideas to change things at Riccarton but didn't want to discus them just yet. I like the sound of that, makes me more confident he is going to come in and sort out the whole of Hearts footballing setup including youth coaching etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamboinglasgow Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I am very curious of this also. In his press conference he mentioned that he would bring not just an assistant but also coaches (though not local but I would like one ex-hearts player in the set up.) I would love him to bring a technique/skills coach like they do at contential clubs. I think it can only be good that he has ideas to change things (and I trust him to do it as he was a academy director of the german team he was at.) Also means that Vlad is allowing him to do it and could be a sign that vlad wants him long term. Also wondering if he was meaning just changing the set-up or did he also mean actual changes to the factilties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazo Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I noticed he mentioned a new academy and new training ground also is this something we are planning or something he would like ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmaroon Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 It was the one thing that really hit home with me during that interview, and it was the thing I was looking for that confirmed my instinctive liking of the man. How many have we heard raving about the 'excellent' set up there? He obviously has his own mind, and he's homed right in on the most crucial part of the whole set-up - in spades. Coaching: Both 1 Staff and 2 Facilities When interviewing someone for a job, or a prospective supplier or business associate, you look for that spark of originality and discernment. I know it's only a brief interview on Hearts World and what I heard on Talk 107 last night etc. - but I am encouraged. .............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamboinglasgow Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I noticed he mentioned a new academy and new training ground also is this something we are planning or something he would like ? when and where did he say that? Curiously enough according to an informed member on this site when vlad first came in he spoke to heriot-watt about the possibilty of building a stand next to the main pitch at riccarton so they could have reserve matches there. heriot-watt obviously said no and since then vlad has had the idea of building a bigger training center with a place for reserve and U19 matches. However I thought this had lessoned with trying to get the new stand at Tynecastle up as it would take alot of money, plus I think Hearts benefit from the location of riccarton so a similar piece of land would cost alot so that it was near Edinburgh.

portobellojambo1 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 He obviously has his own mind, and he's homed right in on the most crucial part of the whole set-up - in spades. Coaching: Both 1 Staff and 2 Facilities I think that is possibly an indication that in reality he is the first proper manager we have had since Burley Colin, someone with ideas of his own, ideas that will hopefully be allowed to come to fruition. Everyone between Burley and now have been stop gaps, people who, whether we like or not, worked the way they were told to. This guy has ideas, he now has to be given the freedom to implement those ideas, and time to convert those ideas to actions on the park. I assume that when he talks about changing the facilities, he is not actually talking about the site itself, Riccarton (i.e. changing location) but is talking about changing the facilities available at Riccarton and the training methods used.

Samster Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Coaching: Both 1 Staff and 2 Facilities I know for a fact that 4 or 5 of the youth academy coaches at Riccarton were released over the summer and others brought in. Might give us some fresh impetus there (not that I think it's totally lacking when you see guys like Glen etc coming through). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oopsupsideyerheed Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 From another of the coaches. Then this coach is telling you porkies.......only 2 have left the club, and I have previously stated, one was of his own choice to join Hibs. Give me a pm if you would like to discuss further. PS 1 other has been given different duties but not "released" as you put it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibrahim Tall Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Given he's already got alot of experience as a youth coach at Monchengladbach not really suprised he's so willing to get involved in that aspect. Sounds like we've finally got someone whos actually "in control" for once though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tynie1874 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Csaba also stressed that he will demand his players give absolutely everything on the training pitch. "I don't like players who don't work in training and I don't like indiscipline in my team," he said. calum elliot won't have a problem next season then and as he was head of youth development at other clubs i can see lots of young players coming in to train with the first team. i still don't think gary glen should get a start for the whole season the lad's a good player fair enough but i just don't think he could cope physically , csaba might change a few things at the academy for the better. hearts to win the league odds now?

Buffalo Bill Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 It's about time we got someone to sort out Riccarton. It's a pretty place with nice trees and hedges but we hardly get any decent youngsters coming out of that place. I'm really excited by the ideas that Csaba has. Hopefully he'll have us playing fast, attacking football: just how we love it at a white-hot Tynecastle. I loved all the 'box running' or 'pack hunting' we did in 05/06. Buffalo Bill .

If they wanted to build a stand at Riccarton they would obviously need to do it in conjunction with the University but if there's no benefit to the Uni or the students then I can understand why they'd say no. But..if the club were serious about wanting to build a wee place somewhere out that way for the reserves and youths to use, they could probably get a hold of the land fairly cheaply. Would be a big investment in terms of constructing the thing though, and I guess that isn't a priority right now. Still, maybe something for the future. I like the fact that he's barely in the door and already he's a man full of opinions. I guess he wouldn't have so much to say if he wasn't under the impression that his input was required. I think I'm going to like this man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm going to like this man. It was a while ago and cant name the poster who said it but sounded an idea, that vlad wants a big training and academy place of hearts design with a small stadium for reserve and U19 matches (probably no more than a 500 seater stand, dunno.) But whether this was just something Vlad had as one of his many dreams/ideas is a different matter. It could be an idea but cant see vlad acting on it any time soon unless he payed for it with his own money rather than UBIG's or he got funding from sport scotland but I think they will be busy funding facilties in the west, also proximity to Edinburgh is an important issue. So unless Csaba is pushing for this cant see it happening any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
