The rest of the board.

She doesn't own the club anymore.

I know you need someone to blame for everything now that Neilson has gone so think you need to check your facts

Naisy is on holiday at the moment. I suspect he’ll be appointed on his return. Unless they’ve give him a scarf to take with him just incase…

I’m sure I read somewhere that he’s away on holiday 

Even more reason. Not sure why people don’t get that announcements are designed to be done for maximum exposure, so they’re planned ahead of time. Be it a signing or manager announcement, the contracts could be agreed and signed days or weeks before an announcement for a multitude of reasons.

I notice that Ann hasn’t yet responded to this plea.

 

Perhaps, at this very minute, she’s out with Steven for drinks and discussing the matter.

 

Everything crossed.  🤞

 

 

[Rick Sanchez]

He's on holiday with his family. He's due back before Saturday when he's supposed to turn up to the Scotland camp. We probably don't want to announce him like the Dundee clubs have recently announced theirs, hiding behind the website and edited pics.

 

Being appointed manager of HMFC is a big deal.

If Naisy is the best option available, then he should be manager. 

 

If not, get the chequebook out and get us the best option available. 

 

It's no difficult ffs. 

 

 

But how do you know this in advance of making the appointment?  Naismith has shown he wouldn't be a complete disaster, but looking at someone who has the pedigree of say Stendal (before he joined us) and comparing that profile of manager vs Naismith its a tough call. 

 

This is not an easy decision for the club to make.

If he is a PHM he will take his own scarf anyway. If he hasn't, give the job to someone else 😄

Probably mentioned but SN is on holiday. Nothing will get done until he gets home. 

[DalryJambo]

Is there any chance Naismith could become part of the backroom staff for the first team under a more experienced manager? Do a few more seasons as a number 2/coach and then step up to the main role?

Maybe the case with a completely new name as well. Could be either on holiday or still involved at club level for a few more days/week or so??

sorry it’s the truth, 100% mistakes were made in the past, Ann has done a fantastic job off the pitch but on it she wasn’t great, she relied on levein and that was a mistake but it’s was recognised and she took measures to step away. 
 

she has no direct input on football matters. She’s doesn’t want an input on football matters, and she is now only a minority shareholder.

Why misogynistic?   Are you not allowed to question or criticise females

I'm pretty sure it's not unusual for managers of teams to make up the backroom staff at international level and if players can go away on duty then I don't see the big issue with Naismith doing the same unless it gets to the point where it interferes with the job. The experience of working at international level for him could be something he can use for Hearts. 

SN is 3rd man at best in the Scottish set-up behind Clarke and John Carver whose name has not featured in our betting odds.

PS  I'm not suggesting it should

but

he is a highly qualified coach with club management experience as well as his role at national level with Scotland.

I like how much he winds everyone up and has a bit about him. IMO it all comes from his desire to win and be as good as he can be.

If he can instill even a fraction of his mentality into our team, board, club, fans then next season is going to be epic. I can feel it in my bones 💯

It’s clear to me that Ann being an older lady doesn’t fit with the image some hearts fans seem to want.  She never has if we are honest.
 

And what we get is blatant lies, blatant false statements an absolute made up nonsense.

If your talking nonsense, then I suggest you look no further than yourself. Ann being an old lady, doesn't fit in? What a load of utter crap. Are you suggesting that if Eva had made the same football related mistakes, we would be ok with that due to the fact she is young and attractive.

Justified questioning is one thing, but If you've missed the unnecessary derogatory adjectives and off-hand dismissals (more often than not based on ridiculous stereotypes) towards Ann Budge then you've not been paying attention.

Your right, I must have missed them and if that's the case these comments are out of order, but genuine criticism is not as you agree.

[Nerja Jambo]

No matter who your preference is, it is taking far to long to come to a decision. Someone mentioned that SN was on holiday, that being the case they must have known that, could have called him back for the press conference and then he goes back on holiday. That's not unusual. The time between the season ending and next season starting is not vast and planning has to be done, signings made etc.

If he's the man the board intend appointing I'm sure he'll know and will have already told the board his plans etc and conversations can still be has between Naismith and the board while he's on holiday

It's a lot easier now than in the last 20 years. We can find fringe players at Vissel Kobe but we cannae find a manager? Behave.

 

There's bound to be plenty of good options out there. We're a great prospect to manage. 

 

That's were I am with it. There's literally thousands of options out there. People boiling it down to extremes have their minds made up and are trying to justify it imo.

 

It's not Naismith or a Robinson.

 

It's not Naismith or a past guy from England.

 

It's not the case that any decent European manager will be out of our price range.

 

There's a whole world out there and I hope we're exploring it.

 

 

Edit: by exploring, I largely mean explored. An appointment needs to be made sharpish, even if the manager isn't joining up until later.

It seems unlikely, he said he sees no benefit from going back to being the B team coach. That indicates he wants to be a manager now, but depending in who the new man is he may well be willing to continue his apprenticeship so to speak under him.
I think even if we don’t get him this time he may well go elsewhere, get his badges and return at some point in the future once he's proved himself..

100% but McKinley said that he and Savage had discussed the potential for Neilson leaving/sacked and apparently we are always looking. If true, we should have been ahead of the game.
