Why have they not put the full interview out? We have to wait until 8am tomorrow!
 

The weakness showed suggesting if the 2nd half had been better SN may have held on to his job regardless of another defeat. Concerning lack of understanding at what’s been playing out. 
 

Glad the recruitment of a new head coach has been outsourced!

I think he's been honest in that had the 2nd half been a battling display things might be different but clearly it wasn't.

 

Wonder if there's a legal need for the whole interview to be held back til tomorrow......Bloom info/deal signed 1st????

Although it confirms that a draw against St Mirren really would have been the worst of all worlds result.

[Luckies1874]

Definitely odd to give a little something but nothing of substance. This shouldn’t be a matter that requires a teaser, it’s hardly a development they should be putting out content about in bits and pieces. Why not just wait till tomorrow which ensures questions such as these don’t even happen?! Strange decision.

It’s a bit obvious is it not? 
 

The update will be about the Bloom deal.

A battling 2nd half performance would have missed a bigger picture. 
Possibly it’ll be released alongside further information. Just wait then, the support is looking for some information/answers. Don’t see the point in putting out a teaser clip.

Not one post on this thread has questioned the sacking!! People are understandably curious as to why the full interview is being withheld until tomorrow. No major criticism simply a questioning of why this might be the case. Has to be a reason for it otherwise they’d just have done it this evening. Similarly why not wait till tomorrow at 8am and release it all?! Some people really are incredibly sensitive wee souls.

He explained the decision quite eliquently, his patience run out and he quite correctly wanted to give it as much time as possible, quite rightly so.

 

As the club haven't made any official statement regarding Bloom, why expect them to now.

 

Disappointed that he didn't bring up the board room power struggle, the type of cakes they shared over the meeting and no mention of a raffle for Ann Budges tear stained hanky.

 

Board oot.

I imagine it's been withheld because they are going to announce the Bloom info at the same time and don't want to do it at 7pm at night. Just a guess though.

Sacked after 6 league games is decisive.

 

Should we employ our next 2 managers and just sack one in advance ?

[Pasquale for King]

Its good that there was an update, but saying that he wouldn’t have thought Naismiths time was up if they had shown something in the 2nd half on Saturday shows a lack of understanding about the job. 
The questions were obviously spoken about before recording it so he had time to prepare the appropriate answers. 
Great to hear we are looking externally for the next manager though. 
Might be an idea to put it up on the Hearts website too 😆.

Take a break mate. You bring plenty of value to threads but your posts over the last couple of days have become tiresome AF. We get it, you don’t think the Hearts support are worthy and we should all just take it or leave it.

The worst of all worlds comment wasn't a criticism of the board, I think most of had said in advance that there was no way he would have been sacked if we'd drawn.

 

Naismith was in a death spiral and even a win against Ross County would have just delayed the inevitable.

 

Personally, I would have sacked the Manager after the Dundee United game but the Board have probably acted at the right time whereby they can't be accused of being hair trigger and I think even Naismith acknowledges he had a fair crack of the whip to try and turn things around.

[RS86]

Last thing Andrew McKinlay said is there'd be an update short term and long term soon. Almost feel like this snippet is a teaser as the big news is coming tomorrow...

Exactly right, you’ve hit the nail on the tip.

[Rick Sanchez]

No problem with him. I think we all know what he means. If we came out peppering their goal, them making saves and blocks etc.

 

Not even a shot until 80 odd mins quite rightly made up his mind.

Yeah, I think sack him after Dundee United would be seen as too soon for some, he had only had 4 league games at that point and an international break to work on the players so the club would have wanted to give him the most time to turn things. I think the comment about if we lost 2-1 but showed something second half we might have kept them maybe me to demonstrate how complete the reasons for getting rid of him was (and may be a comment on how the players were not even prepared to raise the game to save the manager.)

No argument with your first statement although a section of the support believe it should have been done earlier and there is a good argument for that. 
It is done now, however his comments around the 2nd half I find concerning. We’d still be stuttering along had it been better. That coupled with previous from him makes me sceptical about his judgment. Why I’m pleased he’s not directly recruiting our next head coach. 
I find releasing the clip odd.

Second part probably discusses his new job at Ibrox😂😂😂😂

[Mirror]

The whole 2nd half thing to me, is like if we'd managed to get back into the game and get a draw or somehow a win then he'd get the Ross county game.

 

Looks like they were trying to give SN every opportunity to save his job and likely save face in regards to the contract extensions. 

 

For me the sacking was several weeks too late. I base this on the results from this season and the results from Easter last season.

There's never going to be a right time to sack a manager, we all see things very differently.

Id have sacked him after either Hampden debacle last season because it was clear to me then, he's not a managerial winner.

 

What McKinley says here is diplomatic and fair, he's punted the 3 of them, that doesn't come to mind straight after a defeat away to the Midden, this was thought about and calculated. No complaints from anyone except a few fans that lets be honest are already sharpening the knives for the next poor shmuck.

[Berra than you]

The comments on the 2nd half for me show that it was more than just a results based decision. Was looking for a performance and it never came, so enough was enough. McKinlay isn't perfect, but never really understood the stick he gets at times.

[vegas-voss]

No reason at all to get upset about that short interview.

[Vlad Magic]

Fortunately financially sacking him will not affect us directly in the same way it could affect the others outside the OF.

 

We have the finances to pay him off being absolutely to the point. 
 

What I do like is McKinlay coming out next day with a statement. Shows every eventuality has been planned for. 
 

Our board has come under fire sometimes fairly and sometimes unfairly. What I do appreciate now is the business brains we have up there. The delicate negotiations going on with Bloom. The investment coming in. 
 

Football is 100% a business and we have a board with the acumen to deal with 21st century football.

He’s suffering from PTSD from Levein and Neilson being sacked, another foreign manager is his biggest nightmare.

Nothing wrong with his comments. Said we’re looking externally which will be break from recent tradition so all good. 

Been watching Brian Clough 20 Years On BBC iPlayer.
