Stress was due to being a "Head Coach" and not a "Manager" as, according to him, we've started to move towards a form of Director of Football approach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an absolute basket case of an appointment for an absolute basket case of a club. And it’s hilarious. I mean, I'm hardly a Neilson fan, but did it not end with him getting promotion at the first attempt, finishing 3rd in our first season up and then leaving us in 2nd place half way through his final season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoBNob Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Wonder if United with the compensation might now actually be able to afford Nisbet. Probably not but it's nice to speculate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he not get Hearts to a third place finish in the top league? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the whole point with Neilson. Even when successful he can’t get the fans on board due to his eye-bleeding brand of fitba. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll be interesting to see if we keep bidding for him with no manager in place. I hope so. And maybe Hearts will want him now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve certainly not seen too much wailing & gnashing of teeth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pull My Strings Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 f**k's sake, I did not see this coming. I really don't see what Hearts or Neilson get out of this but, y'know, whatever. Laterz Robbie. Did a perfectly competent job of making the team solid and that was enough to piss the Championship but really didn't pull up any trees. It would have been mean to punt him but if he wants to walk and we get actual money for him then that's a very nice result. Cheers Budgie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimi Shandrix Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Think you boys have dodged a massive fucking bullet here. You won the championship despite Neilson, not because of him. If you get Mr Staunch in as manager now, who seems the obvious choice, then you should feel very pleased with yourselves. As for Hearts, I literally have no idea what you're up to. Baffling decision. Good news for Dundee and ICT. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
