"He's shite anyway"
Nah, he's not shite. He just has a heart the size of a pea, disappears when the going gets tough, hardly ever creates chances for others, is too slow to play on the wing and has a dodgy knee. He's a good goalscorer, although his record is a lot less impressive when you exclude the penalties.
More seriously, I think he's at his best when he's basically playing as a second striker. He struggles to influence the game on the wing (which is where I think Rangers intend to play him) and that's partly why I think he'll fail. He'll end up at a Barnsley/Rotherham type club or back at Tynecastle in a couple of years.

Rangers are going to bung us roughly 600k for Walker.
I'd probably take that if most of it is up front. He's clearly no use to us this season and has barely kicked a ball in months.
The funny thing is Rangers will think they've done us before realising he's not that good.

Red23 cruising for 23 red dots with his shite patter IMO.
Here's one to get you started.

You're right enough. Had it in my head we were 6th the second season.
Dundee United were also bottom of the league when he took over in November so 9th place was relatively good.

Bar the time we finished 6th you mean? Or 9th with utd? Not all his own work that one in fairness
When did we finish 6th? 5th in 00/01 and 01/02, 3rd in 02/03 and 03/04.

Didn't Aberdeen play without a striker against us at Pittodrie towards the end of 15/16?
Club legend Abiola Dauda scored the winner.

An overall win rate of 38.3% in all clubs he's managed.
His time as Scotland manager actually giving him his second best percentage of wins
Next question
Finished 3rd in consecutive seasons and got us into the UEFA Cup group stages. Turned Dundee United from perennial relegation strugglers into a team regularly challenging for Europe/cups.
Whether he's going to turn us around now is another matter but let's not pretend he's got a poor record at this level.

4-6-0 lol. He tried to be clever because he saw Rubin Kazan get a win at the Nou Camp using it. Hadn't used it before, hasn't used it since.
What an utter bore you'd have to be to be going on about it 7 years later.

Levein could have had the manager's job three years ago, which is what Budge wanted initially, and he would have appointed Daly the day after Cathro was punted if it had been up to him. He wants influence but only from a cushy background job.
He'll have been talked into it on the basis that he'll have an ego-stroking job description and he'll get to step back in the summer. If the season goes very badly then that'll be very difficult.

What is all this stuff about Hearts fans defending the decision? The reaction has been, rightly, overwhelmingly negative from what I've seen.
I can't see this being a success at all. He was a good manager for us and Dundee United before but the circumstances surrounding this will make it a joke appointment and I'm struggling to imagine the players responding well to it.
A shite season awaits. The silver lining is that if he does a poor job it'll make it very difficult for him to step back into the DoF role and promote Daly/whoever next year. Then we might actually get a proper change.

Take a month to recruit a new manager and then just appoint yourself
At least when he picks the team now, it's actually his job.
If he's been picking the team all along, it was very clever of him to change up his team set-up each time we got a new head coach.

"SunSport understands Levein is now clear favourite with the bookies..."

I wouldn't actually mind Levein getting the job because it means we'll have ditched "the model".
It sounded nice in theory; appoint talented coaches who've shown potential and allow them to learn from the Head Coach to ensure continuity when they eventually take the reins after a couple of years. "Talented coaches" are a bit thin on the ground when you limit yourself to a pool of ex-Levein players, though, and the idea of "continuity" is questionable when the next coach in line clearly has completely different ideas to his predecessor.
If Levein succeeds as manager, fine. If he fails, he gets punted and we can move on.

STV understands Daly has impressed the Hearts players, as well as assistant coach Austin MacPhee and first team coach Liam Fox since taking charge, with the first team keen for him to continue in the role.
Craig Levein is keen to retain the model of replacing the head coach from within the coaching structure by appointing Daly but owner Budge remains to be convinced after the failure of rookie boss Ian Cathro.
She favours a more experienced man in charge and Steven Pressley remains firmly in the board's thoughts. Paul Hartley is unlikely to be handed the job.
So we're down to two candidates then. One favoured by the Director of Football, whose main motivation is to keep his "model" alive and save his own reputation, and one favoured by the Chairwoman, who probably has the best interests of the club at heart but doesn't have much of a clue about football.
Just announce Daly and put us out of our misery.

"BBC Scotland understands the board will have three options at their disposal.
- If they decide there is an outstanding candidate, they will make a move towards appointing him as a replacement for Ian Cathro
- If they decide that two or more candidates are potential head coaches then second interviews will be arranged
- If neither of the above apply then they move on to candidates who are already in a job but have indicated through their representatives they would be interested"
Option 3 it is then (please).

1) Release a statement saying we have 100+ applications and the "luxury of time" (lol);
2) watch the most impressive candidates be poached by other teams;
3) end up, three weeks later, with a "shortlist" consisting of a few of the Director of Football's unemployed mates.
Great stuff Hearts.

The boy on Kickback who always gets the starting XI the day before seems convinced it's Freedman.
I'm choosing to believe him.

From what I'm hearing, you may get your wish. Suits me however, as I can stop pretending there's still any connection between the club and myself.
Levein wants Daly, Budge wants the snake. Pressssssley, who doesn't go behind people's backs, actually applied for the gig BEFORE wee Cathro got his jotters. The club didn't even bother to send Paulo Sergio - a Scottish Cup winning manager with the club - so much as a wee email saying "Cheers big man, but not this time", and now he's more or less severing ties. Still, we've got a half built stand that we entrusted to a brain damaged, narcissistic and completely incompetent military obsessed *** that might be completed some time in the next four years. Gr8 stuff.

I don't hate Pressley at all. Neither do most of the folk I know.
Don't want him as a manager and he's clearly divisive but it's certainly not universal hatred
I'm well aware not everyone hates him, but it's a significant enough portion. I just hope Budge isn't under the illusion that he'll be a popular appointment with the fans.

Davies is toxic. Hartley is under-qualified. Daly is under-qualified. Pressley is under-qualified and a complete arsehole who's despised by the fans.
Freedman is the only choice from that lot. Unfortunately he's not one of Levein's mates and he's not a "club legend" so that'll count against him.

Banderson saying the front-runners are Daly and Pressley.
Only this Hearts regime could be that fucking clueless.

We needed a winger anyway even if Walker stays. If he goes then we'll need another one or an attacking midfielder. Not that I believe O'Halloran's coming here.
