All aboard the Naisy train - poll!!

[mitch41]

It’s reported that there are members of the board that are in favour of Naismith getting the managers job, but then again who wouldn’t want Naisy to get the job ? Who in their right mind would be against because I’d like a Hearts Board to be unanimous and back the VAST majority of Hearts fans, 80% plus, that want Naismith.

It would be nice to know if there is a shortlist or if there's any other candidates being considered. 

 

I'd be happy with Naismith however if he is to be appointed.

80% of the 1,000 Hearts fans on here.  Not necessarily 80% of all Hearts fans.  As we have seen in the past jkb isn’t exactly reflective of the general Hearts support 

Both Stendel and Cathro had similar %ages fawning over them prior to appointment and look how they turned out.

They could have looked at other candidates after Neilson was sacked. Then moved quickly right after the season ended so the work to get players the manager working with Savage & McKinley want signed. Pre Season Training for the new season starts around the 27th of June so let’s get this sorted asap. The fans want Naismith over to our board.

And even then, 80% of the 1000 that voted, I never vote in these things despite being opinionated AF

Not fair examples Cathro came out of no where thanks to Levein and Stendel had the job of trying to salvage the mess Levein left and I believe he would of saved Hearts if the season hadn’t of been cut short by Covid. QUESTION Can you see the main problem ? ANSWER LEVEIN ! One thing about Naismith is he’s his own man and knows the game inside out and is totally set on making Hearts a team the plays attractive, attacking football home & away. The fans love his brand of football and the players are benefiting the way this wee man goes about the job.

Everybody always says stuff like that if they don’t like the result of a poll. On the flip side they never mention it if the result goes by their view. Nonetheless you are right, all polls on jkb are just a bit of fun and shouldn’t be seen as reflective of the support.

Probably the same as you however it is a statement that was made by the club recently.

The same CEO that told us we would be getting an experienced manager? Let's see what happens there as it's not looking likely 

[mellors1874]

This is dragging on a bit now.

Why do we always appear to take a bloody age to do anything.

Get on with it Hearts and get whoever it is going to be appointed.

Clubs are already signing players and as usual were behind.

We could stop it dragging on in several ways including, but not exclusively,

 

Offer the job to Naismith

 

Offer someone who is free just now but doesn't really want it with significantly over the odds to change their mind

 

Tap someone up already in a job meaning we don’t have much of a leg to stand to negotiate release compensation downwards.

 

Just appoint anyone for the sake of filling the job's sake

Same.

 

I voted No in this poll but not out of pure opposition to the appointment. 

 

I was being a bit pedantic probably over the word "like". I'd be happy enough if he were appointed but equally I'm not overly fussed if he isn't (depending on who is I suppose). So it's more a bit of apathy around his appointment than anything from me. 

[BlueRiver]

Also, its not dragging on folks. Decision was always going to be made once the season was over. Managers and players are entitled to holidays and the season only ended 4 days ago. 

 

We can pish our breeks collectively if we're still here in a week or two.

It may not be the first time the club has spoken to these people. It may be final interviews. But I do think they will make a final decision over the weekend and announce it early next week.

And for all we know everything is in place bar an announcement. Taking a lot of these itk style comments with a bag of salt quite honestly. 

 

Or even if we accept it. It could easily be final interviews for 2 or 3 candidates. If they've conducted them this week a decision is likely next. 

 

As said if we're still none the wiser come next Thursday or later I'll join the chorus but not yet.

Someone said earlier that Budge wasn’t a fan due to his touch line antics.  I kinda get that but still hope he gets it.

 

He needs to make the transition to manager quickly if he gets it, not still  one of the boys, still called Naisey etc.

 

I loved the antics as a player but not so much now he’s the potential manager.

 

That wasn't just an unsubstantiated rumour, the fact that it was even a rumour was unsubstantiated 🙂

 

Budge doesn't deal with that side of the business now either; I'm also sure that she'd go with a method that works; if he needs to bark at players or wind up opposition managers and it works then that's that

They are reflective of the support.  Just not in the numbers that would actually prove yay or nay either way. Even the “Neilson out” poll was 90% of less than 10% of season ticket holders. Not really telling.

We had somewhere around 14,000 season ticket holders last season. So polls on here are a small sample of what we may be thinking, but I hope Hearts never hire/fire a manager based on JKB polls. As you stated. 
Just a bit of fun.

What antics don’t you like as a potential manager? Just interested in your view.

Sorry but as polls go, that is a huge sample size!  Imagine if MORI used 10% of the electorate for their polls?!  They’d be interviewing millions!

Nothing to substantiate that claim.  Of the 15500 st’s I’m sure more than 155 would have given him until end of season to secure 4th place.

No idea but probably at least 25% if not more.  Folks who vote on polls on here are generally pretty polarised imo. 
 

I did point it out. Just pissed off with folk who are completely polarised re folk from the clubs history.  Yes Levein messed up latterly, before that he was a great player and a really good manager first time round. Second time round he rebuilt the football side after Admin then when Robbie left for MK he lost the plot.  It happens, get over it,   Doesn’t remove or re-write what he did before.  Robbo was a great player in two spells, failed as a manager  though. Still a legend and not worthy of any real criticism.  I’m sure both of them were 100% Hearts men.
