Should Steven Naismith be sacked? ( merged )

[Bauld]

Every experienced manager in the league can clearly see our weaknesses in the squad and will continue to exploit them.

 

We have failed to fix those weaknesses in the transfer window.

 

We have got a manager with absolutely no clue how to tactically compete with the guys who are trying to exploit it. As such, we're being picked apart with no reply.

If he doesn’t get back to the style we played at the end of last season they he should be sacked. 

I think we now see how valuable Ginnelly's pace was and he wasn't scared to shoot on site - we have Boyce and Shankland up top who are both as slow as a wet weekend in Ayr and for some reason we want to try and walk the ball into the net.

Let's not even go there re the midfield and the defence is still very suspect.

Needs to go, but not the main problem at the club imo, Budge, Savage and McKinley appointed him.....where are the consequences for them?

As soon as we put Tagawa on today we looked better as did Shankland, unfortunately Boyce is only a sub these days. Tagawa didn’t do much but his presence made Motherwell drop 20 yards deeper, much like Ginnelly did who was undervalued by the fans and the club. 
We really need to play our quicker players all over the pitch.

He shouldn't be anywhere near the first time. Whatever role he has been in so far, he's been part of an absolute shit show.

 

Get him out completely, bring in someone with experience and give them an opportunity to completely upgrade our football dept.

I'm struggling to see any light at the of the tunnel with this set up, if and if Savage manages to bring in a couple of decent free transfers then he may have a chance.

However i don't think they will add to the squad as it will look like they've fecked up the transfer window.

Aside results the performances are shit, 3 shots on target in the games is simply not acceptable. It's time for a change now.

[Back to 2005]

We are a club that’s getting 20k average for a home game but we are run like the local bowling club. 
Really sick of the complete amateurish way we are run. Time to drain the swamp. 

[GorgieFifeLife]

Naismith should admit it’s too early for him to manage at this level and resign.  If he is honest with himself he should probably never have accepted the job.

I think Tagawa is a run onto the through ball type striker so if we had a midfield that could achieve that then he may become a goalscorer for us.

Alas the midfield is shite,  someone said to me that Naismith said pre match he thinks Haring and Devlin are a good partnership,  for me, that comment sticks and tells me he's not really got a clue.

The issue is, you are talking about just 1 game, not a consistent pattern across the 7 games. There was no consistent pattern or style. Look how bad the st Mirren game was. What we’ve seen is simply a continuation 
 

These one off performances, were already there before Naismith under Robbie. That was just another one of these one off game against RC where players were in the mood. But then in other games it vanished
 

These players always had that sort of performance in them to score goals and run away with games.
 

It is consistency and defensive solidity that was the fundamental problem needing solved. We go through these spells in games where we just switch off and it’s not been fixed

And yet we still couldn’t score against 10 men.  Overall recruitment has been an absolute disaster.  Totally fed up.

This. Just damaged his chances of a management career.

Should have stuck with the academy and got his badges sorted.

Then taken a smaller job.

[Wee Hammy]

I’m beginning to think the reason Naismith doesn’t have his Pro Licence is that he failed the exam. I’m at a loss to understand what our game plan/tactics are - he seemed to think that against 10 men sitting in having a left side of Rowles and Cochrane was the answer to opening them up. I realise that Grant is the whipping boy for many on here but he at least looks to go forward and is one of the few capable of playing a pass into feet around the box - he must have sh*t in Naismith’s shoes.

we appear to have bet big time on Bene being fit and back to form

[Saint Jambo]

Maybe all those managers who talk about how much they learned from their coaching courses, including going and spending time with experienced managers at their clubs, were on to something. Maybe it isn't just a UEFA money making scheme after all.

[Dusk_Till_Dawn]

None of this matters unless you get rid of Budge and her pathetic cronies 

[Spookie]

You can write the season off if he remains beyond the international break 

 

We have a week to find his replacement 

 

This experiment is turning into a disaster 

 

Same problems we had with Neilson but new players 

 

Something not right at the club and I dunno what it is 

 

Players unmotivated, get 45 mins tops from them a game, 2nd to most balls, non existent 1st half's, just punt the ball in Hooe we get a break 

 

Can't be the Players every season 

 

Just doesn't add up

We've taken an average rookie manager from the Lowland League and gave him the job. We are reaping the rewards.  Hell even Fox is doing a better job with the B team.

It was a cop out of an appointment. Those above in the boardroom bottled it, a proper appointment was needed. But they didn’t have the balls to make one. Thought they’d kicked the can down the road but won’t work if these guys lose 4 on the spin as they have done. 

If you mean they appointed someone who wasn't going to rock the boat, then yes. There appear to be failings with recruitment, salary structure and a mandated style of play the players aren't comfortable with. A head coach, even an experienced one, can't easily change those things. 

[Newton51]

Steven Naismith promised brassed-off Heartsfans they’ll see a different Jambos side after the international break - as he waits to be officially installed as head coach.

The technical director is expected to replace Frankie McAvoy as now the Tynecastle side are out of Europe. But before then he was faced with furious boos from the home support after a 1-0 loss to Motherwell made it four defeats in a row. It leaves Hearts sitting eighth on four points from four games and follows home and away defeats to PAOK in Europe as well as last weekend’s dismal defeat at Dundee.

 

But Naismith - who said his own position would become more clear in the coming week - said: “The fans will be unhappy because they have seen something that has been consistent the last few league games. But now we have this period we can continue to work to refresh and get back to where we need to be.

 

We are going into a tough period of games and the demand will be we need to win games and having lost two league games in a row we need to. Today was poor. It’s been very similar to every game we have played after a European tie. A very slow start, lethargic, safe, which then turns into nerves, turns into giving away cheap chances.”

 

McAvoy said last week a switch which would see him step back and allow Naismith to take charge could happen now the necessity for a UEFA Pro Licence has gone with their Euro run over. Naismith said: “Yeah, we’ll probably go into more detail on that next week. 

 

"At the moment we’re just looking at what’s been a bad weekend. The break has come at a time where we have played a lot of football. 

 

 

 

"We have come from a time where we played a lot of pre-season games to an intense period of loads of competitive games which has helped people get up to speed. But it has been intense so it gives us time to reflect and understand what we actually want to do.

“Do we want to be successful? Are we first of all going to be hard to beat? And secondly are we going to play that front foot football where we are more concerned about causing other teams problems than we are about giving up chances?”

I do, but this isn’t what most fans expected, it was used as by Savage to see his wee pal Frankie get a shot at being in the driver’s seat, Naismith has been stitched up like a kipper in all this.

[MoncurMacdonaldMercer]

one of the cleverest posters on here confirmed to us all a while back that Naismith was 100% in charge and just pretending not to be however one or two less intelligent and less informed posters have expressed concerns about dubiety

 

I think it would help if Naismith is to stay even temporarily if frankie (nothing against him personally) is removed from the first team altogether including the bench / interviews / everything first-team relevant

 

if that can be done give naisy a few more games - McKinley said/lied that they were always lining up replacements so full transparency with naisy you’ve got x games to achieve y while lining up a replacement with similar transparency to them

 

our biggest issue though is we need at least 4 Kent / halkett / Mikey Galloway / chuck berry types in the team every week and unless we find them without clubs we’re going to have to muddle on with this bunch the vast majority being much less forceful characters (and not exceptional enough in technique to make it up for it)

Only 3 new players played today, most of these guys were here last season and we're in the main pish, this has continued this season, a summer clear out was required but it didn't happen, bemused why Haring, Forrest, Grant Halliday, Rowles etc are still here.

I think we've got here by various events starting with pre-season preparation re the manager, the lack of fitness, the time taken to sign players get and them embedded, create a style etc. I suspect we tried to move some players on but there wasn't much interest or wages were an issue. 

We're also now seeing a mentality that isn't a winning one so something has to change.

One thing is for sure we were better with Gino by a distance, a guy with pace who could also score.  

I vehemently disagree that Boyce and Shankland work together as a partnership. 
However, it is also possible that we have nothing better.

The problem is the board rely on easy money which is emotionally driven. FoH pledges, donations, etc. It’s a guaranteed revenue stream with no accountability. Any hard nosed investor would never put up with this garbage simply because their investment would be at risk. Appointing rookie managers from the left field, recruiting dross from the other side of the world, it’s a business model designed to fail. We have great PR, social responsibility programmes and marketing but on the field, where it matters, are absolute crap. Totally outclassed by Motherwell today. Appointing Naismith was a symptom of a reactive Board not a strategically aware one.

b. He got the job but has been told to pay heid to all that Mcevoy "advises" him to do, as he (FM) seems to be the common denominator between our last two manager's style of play.

Hate kickback when we loose matches.  It a No for me even after the game today.  You cannot sack a manager/ coach every time we hit a bad spell.    New players need time to settle and booing at every opportunity does not help in anyway.

Sick fed up having to listen to these jokers. There is not a chance he gets us to a decent points total after that first 11 fixtures. Looking at the schedule I’d be surprised if we won more than 2 from the remaining 7 which will likely mean we are on something like 12 or 13 pts from 33. Utterly abysmal. Under Neilson and now Naismith we’ve won 5 of our last 20 league matches. It’s a complete disgrace how the Hearts fans are being mugged off yet again.

For what it's worth, I think we should stick with Naismith for the first round of fixtures. Get FM to feck.

No, but should never have been appointed in the first place.

Naismith is the manager now and has been since the start of the season. Surely you don't think FM is running the show?
