RENE Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 According to Daily Express Hearts are interested in ex-Stoke City boss Gudjon Thordarson. He is currently manager of Akranes but had clause that if a better job comes along he can leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Winstone Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Is this not the same boy that got the Hibs job then after a day decided he didnt want it? Before Mowbray took it? Could be the complete wrong person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RENE Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 Doesn't say but he was Icelandic manager when they just failed to reach the 2000 Euros. Also had spells with Stoke,Barnsley and Notts County. Wants to bring his assistant Ross Jack as part of his backroom staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkfish1979 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Well, at least he's a *proper* manager, and not too bad a pedigree. I'll be happy enough if that's true. Says there that he saved a team from relegation as well. Wonder if he can save us from hobonomic induced adminidictation? *having said that, it is the Daily Exprincess, and the fact that the headline isn't written in a maroon box leads me to believe that they made it up...

Yes Tazio, but we want to do it from the SPL (regardless of Greetna), preferably top 6, even if we just scrape in. Give a new man until the end of the season. Admittedly that sounds a bit like Newcastle's failed policy of not giving a guy enough time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTBCAL Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I would be gutted with him. His reputation is that he plays boring long ball football.

He only got the Stoke job as he was part of a Icelandic constortium that took over the club - murder - absolute murder. God help us if true. As a Stoke fan who saw a lot of games with him in charge I agree with pretty much all of the above. He wasn't exactly murder as he got Stoke promoted (then promptly quit!) but he's definitely a fan of the long ball. Mind you, it was the English 1st Division so not much room for pretty passing.

Fermi Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I think he would be worth a shot. My next comment might be more controvesial though. We are told we intend to form a title-winning side: If that is the case, then one of the most important criteria on my list would be that he is NOT SCOTTISH. A Scottish manager knows from experience that Rantic always triumph in the end. More crucially, the Chick/Murdo/Leckie's of this world would have his ear, and he would be subjected to comments of the "If Hearts win the league, I will personally buy George Burley a case of Champagne" ilk. My ideal manager would not be Scottish, preferably not British but would have experience of the British game. This guy's history may be chequered, but he has these qualities. I feel this may be pointless though, as I doubt Vlad will appoint anyone other than a lackey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
