Hippo Miller at al pretty sure Hartley said he liked Hippolyte but he wasnt required in a relegation battle your never going to win anything with flair players when your in a scrap would you rather have entertaining football but walk away thinking "oh that was a great game but we got humped", as for the Miller and pretty much the clear out it was pretty obvious when Houston got sacked that something was going on behind the scenes you just dont go from play off position to relegation fodder with minimal changes to the team so what changed had to be something in the back ground. Way i see it those that were losing week out and pretty much not giving a sh*t were all part of the problem the only way to fix it was to clear out the ones that played week in and out and of the day its Hartleys job on the line. We didnt start winning till he had cleared out pretty much the first half of the season team MIller, Kerr, Austin etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller will be fine at Livi until the first time he opens his mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plebs need to be informed. Not sure what signing you're referring to. On evidence of today is say the project could go either way. He's signed 16 players but still has too many out of position, such as mcghee , Lewis etc. Getting some points On the board soon will be key.

I think if you look at his record at United and Falkirk it is excellent prior to the start of last season. If it weren't for the bad luck of Rangers, Hearts and Hibs being in the league you'd have went up under him quite comfortably. I'd have him back as manager of United. Great memories from his time in charge. I agree Hartley deserves more time. There will be no hiding place if his almost complete squad turnover has failed. I think the only people who will be confident for the new season is Dunfermline fans but we'll know more after the first quarter. I a Houstie players cos I'm a football fan and that's what we do. with hindsight and given his vision of succession management with Lee and Mark, I'd have that over Hartley 's academy killing vision every time.

roman_bairn Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Hartley had nothing to do with the end of the academy. Not to defend Bofa here but are you honestly saying that Hartley would have preferred that funds continued to be directed to the academy rather than to fund sourcing and paying players from the English lower leagues?

However I don’t really see how you conclude that the strategy that we have adopted this season and the closure of the academy are completely unrelated?

Hartley had no say in the "strategy", none whatsoever.. If this season turns into another disaster, those who were responsible for it, one in particular, should be the first to clear their desks.

I simply cannot see how a manager, known for sourcing players from down south had no say whatsoever in choosing to do so this season?To be clear, I am not criticising the decision, the results of which have yet to be proven either way, but it does appear that Hartley’s getting an incredible free ride from many of our supporters at times and I don’t quite understand why.

I wouldn't say our supporters generally are giving him a free ride. The issue is with a few deluded supporters on here who seem to think he's Pep Guardiola and regard any criticism whatsoever as 'knicker wetting' or even better IMO 'wanting us to lose'.
