Ogilvie vote of confidence by McLeish

In the scotsman today.

 

"IT WAS not included among the recommendations typed out in black and white but it is the one on which the success of Henry McLeish's report into the development of grassroots and youth football may hinge. A constant theme throughout the launch of the first part of his Review of Scottish Football, he suggested that optimism and drive were vital to implementing a lasting legacy. Which is why the former First Minister considers it a coup to have SFA vice-president and Hearts managing director Campbell Ogilvie charged with pushing through the key components of the document".

 

 

If it is to be believed that Peat will retire next year and Ogilvie has his eye on the job. We have at least one year left (if he wants the sfa job fulltime) to benefit from the new task he has ahead. I can imagine Romanov being pleased at this as one of his employees (whom he must trust otherwise he wouldnt be at Hearts) will be the leading force behind driving through change in scottish football by developing the youth system.

 

If however he decides to do both jobs then I think it will be fantastic news for Hearts in the long term.
