FJT Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Naismith got rid of Humphrys pronto. I tend to think there’s possibly some truth in the talk about him having fallen out with folks. also think that despite a few impressive moments, he didn’t offer very much over all. in My opinion obviously. Have a feeling we can and will recruit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) 1 hour ago, Bongo 1874 said: Brophy is back up and has 5 goals contributions, In 21 games for county. Bair has 17 goal contributions in 33 games for well. Humphrys has 13 goals contributions for Wigan,and I'm sure he scored two against us in a friendly. According to you it doesn't get better than Bob ? But we are about to smash his points record, with Celtic&Rangers in the same league. And let's be honest,Naismith has been nowhere near backed as much as Neilson or Levein. Leave this next level to me,because according to you I'm deluded and we can't do it,but it's taken 1 full season for a rookie manager to prove me right 🤔. Ohh and to let you know that manager you say is shite 😉 he's about to win the League 😉 Fly the Flag,Fly the Flag!!!!! It won't get better than 3rd, that is Scottish football outside the OF, so not sure what you're on about. I am hopefully proven wrong and if we build on 3rd, 4th, 3rd and keep in amongst the top 3/4 then you never know what the long teem future will have, but atm 3rd is the best. The points record will be beaten, and that's good progress, Naismith did take over Hearts in a pretty strong position tho, the best since Cathro. It's good, steady progress, long may it continue. Your need to discredit Bob and obsession with him is a bit weird. Brophy, Blair, Tagawa and Humphrys won't take us to he next level, if these types replace Boyce and Shankland we'd be worse of. Thankfully, nothing at the football club is down to you. What manager is shite? Stendal, if so he was shite with us, he taken us to bottom of the league, that's just a fact. Another weird obsession.

He'll be on a fair wage as well, added to the fact Naismith launched him it's unlikely he's being considered. To go in to next season with Tagawa, Humphrys, Blair and Brophy as our options as suggested by another poster, that would be a big step backwards imo.

The most obvious example is Grant this year,who was told he was could leave the club. Instead he gained Naismith's respect and has fought for his place in team,full respect 🙏.

Hearts and Humphries mutually agreed to part as it wasn’t working for either party, and brophy is garbage. none of these things will be happening. Hearts will not be dropping the best striker we’ve had in 30 years. Especially not for really poor, ones.
