DG_HMFC Posted Tuesday at 19:36 Share Posted Tuesday at 19:36 (edited) 1 hour ago, Seagull said: 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 Edited Tuesday at 19:37 by DG_HMFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMJ_1874 Posted Tuesday at 19:54 Share Posted Tuesday at 19:54 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.

We'd be buying experience and proof that the guy has a record of improving playing performances.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Captain Canada Posted Wednesday at 06:08 Share Posted Wednesday at 06:08 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.

There has to be drastic change, change that has longevity, with this appointment and those to come in the future.
