I would actually have immense respect for Potter if he did take the Hearts job. As it’d require him taking an immense pay cut. Back with Tony Bloom again. His way of anpplogising for abandoning the Brighton project. And he rebuilds Hearts to be title challengers and attains regular CL.

 

Would be like what he did at Ostersunds but on steroids.
 

But it would never happen. 
 

It would be a hell of a statement appointment though. Not sure what the guys here who would snub him are smoking!

 

Technically a wage rise, since he's currently unemployed :)

I would assume he's still getting paid by Chelsea at present.

Incorrect.. Chelsea are still paying Graham Potter’s salary of around £200,000 a week until the end of this month.

I’d like to think that our main target is someone we can genuinely afford  and we’re not just going through the motions to say, well we tried to get so and so but then talks broke down due to wage demands so we went with option B,C,or D etc. 

 

We have to spend wisely and pay whatever it takes to get our man without breaking the bank.  I’m also sure that the shortlist will contain many contributory factors like this and therefore a panel of 4/5 heads will be a better than 1 head scenario. The infrastructure put in place to earn additional revenue to be spent on player improvements is what the very ethos of this board are all about not withstanding leaving the club on a sure and sound footing for generations or our support to enjoy. This board have done the heavy lifting that future boards only have to maintain. It goes without saying that we need to pony up and put our money where our mouth is. 
 

I’m seriously interested like we all are to see the names that have applied and the ones that actually reached the interview stage.
 

After a 10 year period whereby we’ve had a conveyor belt of utter dross then this time we can’t afford to get it wrong. The board owe it to the club and our support to get this appointment absolutely spot on. This should be the time whereby we pay the most we’ve ever had to pay for a manager and we then start our long journey back to the very top.

I agree that Hearts ought to be prepared to pay a significantly higher salary to the new guy  (assuming he has a pedigree that justifies it) than what we were paying SN and RN.  We'd be buying experience and proof that the guy has a record of improving playing performances.   It would be money well spent, imo.  👍

Huge if true. I for one thought we’d be expanding the list, so it’s good he’s got his ear to the door on this one.

Get it right, and we might see the capital’s sleeping giant finally awaken. ‘Mon Hearts, don’t feck this up.

For me the top 3 candidates should be, in no particular order.

 

Kim Hellberg

Erik Horneland

Marek Papszun

 

Would be delighted with any of them.

So your saying at the end of the month he doesn’t have a wage coming into the house ?

Heard he's become a master at pottery tbf and the wife wants to open a wee shop. "Potters Pottery." She could open it at Potter Row if he comes up here for a job 🤣🤣

Imagine if he and Bloom still on good terms and he sold him on the challenge of getting us into the CL. 

I know, more chance of Celtic turning their match around tonight but still...:D

I watched this clip of Potter on MNF and he sounded an absolute bluffer.

What are your principles?

"How best can we use the players we have". Wowsers.

 

 

So purely on the basis of a 2 minute clip it's a no from me.

I'd wager if Naismith had adopted that position he would still be here.

I'm not sure Naismith really knew his best formation or lineup and by the end was scrambling for anything that might work.

He was consistently having to react and change tactics at HT last season.

 

Potter is not even remotely anywhere near the conversation around the next Hearts manager and I was just being a bit facetious on the discussion/audition for the Man Utd job he had last night. He didn't come across anywhere nearly impressive as say Thomas Frank when he was on the show.

I'm not sure if Tiernan Lynch of Larne FC has already been mentioned on this thread but he has won two titles in Northern Ireland and has just turned down the St Johnstone job. I wonder if Hearts have been in touch with him.

I mentioned him last night as a possible after he turned Saints down.

I would doubt it. The guy at Shamrock Rovers has won 4 league titles in a row. It's the levels they are at that would concern me. S'pose that doesn't really mean they are not good managers. Would depend on the kind of football they play. Bookies have  a guy from Iceland as a favourite so they might be in the frame, who knows.

A German manager would be my choice. Especially after tonight.

He started off his managerial career in Turkey though. Is doing bloody well as a relatively new manager, fair play to him. It's maybe in Turkey we should be looking 😉

Teirnan Lynch (and Larne) have been bankrolled now for years by their owner 

 

Not saying he’s not a decent manager but his job has been made easier since the money came into the club…

Oh I only hope our directors get it right this time and give the new manager the green light to sign a big left sides Centre Back and a goal scorer, Maybe a big target man as a wee bonus. Now that’s my wish for Christmas. Can we afford it you may ask fellow Jambos, well my question is what if we don’t ?

Get that idea in the bin! I'd win two Irish League titles if I had the backing of Purplebricks.

I really hope we get someone experienced. 

 

We've obviously had a shocking start and things won't get much easier now we're playing regular Thursday night games. 

 

It's a massive job to come in and try to turn things around with confidence low and so many matches. 

 

We've already had two of the easiest home games on paper and not won either. The new guy won't have time on his side and I'm concerned the expectations and size of the job would be too much for some of the people being mentioned.

I still genuinely beleive we have a very decent team.

 

Batshit management from Naisy.

 

For me a decent manager gets this squad going.

Other than a decent rb and some pace you could be right.  Lack of both of those means we will continue to struggle imo.  Roll on Janaury.

I would hope we’re also prepared to bring in the coaches the new manager wants. I don’t believe for a minute given the choice Naismith would’ve had McAvoy and Forrest by his side. This needs done properly this time no cost cutting shortcuts. Stendal was a farce with his coaching staff, before that we had the whole master and apprentice model with notes getting passed about. Get the right manager and right team around him.

Not before time. The manager is the most important part of any team. Get it wrong and the best players in the world can struggle. We always seem to pick the cheapest option, or very close to it. There has to be drastic change, change that has longevity, with this appointment and those to come in the future. No point doing it right this time then going back to our cheapskate old ways when the team finally has a recognized identity and way of playing.

That's where I'm at aswell , actually think we've got a decent squad of players with the exception of a target man type striker and some pace in the team a don't think we're far away
