Next Hearts Manager - 2024 edition

[Ray Winstone]

No that fussed about the old Norwegian guy tbh. Doesn't seem like he's won an awful lot and is coming off a failed spell at one of Japan's biggest clubs so not really someone to break the bank for.

Lots left to play for this season but the wins need to stat coming. Ideally, the new manager is in place by the start of next week. Two winnable games at home coming up before the derby, good chance to build up some momentum and get this shite season going.

You're kidding yourself if you think the incompetent Board will have someone in place by the start of next week.

Put all their eggs in one basket with this guy, shot their shot in the press only to fall at the final financial hurdle.

Another Budge and Co farce.

[Currahee!]

Heard only Mckinlay and Jones were negotiating with the candidates. So 1 of those 2 'leaked' some info regarding who was in talks and who they wanted. McKinlay is the one who let it slip. He can't be trusted.

[Shteve]

I reckon it was Jonesy. Wee snake in the grass.

[Zizou]

Wouldn’t trust McKinlay to run a bath tbh. Speaks nicely when hearts tv come in and all the editing is under his control, clearly hasn’t a clue about hiring a manager. Naismith was hired mainly on a kickback poll.

I'm all for laying the boot into that weirdo, Jones. However. I suspect what's happened is that Hogmo's agent has chucked a tidbit at Banderson after Hearts have gone back on some informal agreement when they've sent the final details of the contract over to him for review. They've obviously pied it, and deceided to make it awkward for Hearts.

[Del-icious]

Sounds like Hogmo is on his way back to Hacken, probably just used hearts for leverage.

[Schteg]

Aberdeen poach their gaffer from a Swedish side while we get gazumped by one?

the wage details being included makes me agree Pondy

[Drederick Shanktum]

Old woman who’s been hoodwinked by levein for years getting hoodwinked by his Norwegian counterpart so he can get another job. Shocked

[Felix]

Another new datapoint for starlizard.

Every cloud.

[Sarkozabal]

Good process. 3 weeks since we sacked Naismith btw.

[King Kebab]

I have the feeling we're being chortled at.

[Drederick Shanktum]

Do you think there are other clubs who with a manager 3/4/5/6 game losing streak that aren’t discussing replacements. The process should have begun after Motherwell, but it seems our board got a surprise it all had to start after they sacked Naismith.

There’s millionaires and billionaires involved at board level, it’s just mental that this is our level of competence

[King Kebab]

Naismith was a 2nd half away from keeping his job though

[Charlie Kelly]

But they always plan ahead

[Floyd]

I’d genuinely not be that bothered about the time they are taking if I had any degree of faith that they’ll appoint the right man at the end of this process.

But using their previous as a barometer for their future endeavours means that I’m sitting here apathetic about what’s going to happen next.

Almost waiting on them wheeling out Fox and saying that he was: the first choice/only man for the job/the answer was just along the corridor.

Why the fuck do we not have people on our board who know the first thing about football?

[Shuto Makino]

Why the fuck do we not have people on our board who know the first thing about football?

But enough about Talkhearts

[Charlie Kelly]

Did an update on my football manager and started a new game, instantly Levein has been re appointed. A chilling sign of things to come.

[King Kebab]

They've gone back to the drawing board and don't know what the fuck they're doing 
Big McKinlay sitting in front of a computer wondering why nothing is happening, pure shaking the mouse about, and he's not even put the password in yet.

[Socko]

It's beginning to look a lot like Critchley
