paranoid android Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 I was happy for Naismith to be given a shot, and I would usually argue for Managers to be given more time, but Naismith doesn't look like he knows what he's doing. There doesn't seem to be a clear game plan, and there are issues with his team selections and subs. As almost everyone seems to be saying, it all looks a bit Neilsonesque. There's bound to be a change before the aiberdeen game, but it'll probably just be a cabinet re-shuffle. I'd be tempted to get rid, and bring in an ootsider. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Robson at least there was a reason for Aberdeen keeping him on. I just don't see that with Hearts & Naismith. It would be a massive opportunity wasted if they didn't bring in a competent manager to take charge of what is probably the 3rd best team in the league with strength in depth & quality. The appointment in the first place was just down right odd. The only logic I can apply is that it was the cheap, easy option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyzer0 Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Not good news for Offiah or Hearts. Hope it's nothing too serious. Odel Offiah returns home to Brighton after Hearts loanee's medical incident leads to hospital admission (scotsman.com) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentGuerin Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 You ask a footballer a question along the lines of "Can your old team Albion Rovers win the Champions League in the next decade?" and you always get an answer a long the lines of that kind of meaningless pish. Any journos reading, feel free to use this to write about any club you want. "Well, they've got a great coach and if they back him in the transfer market, I think they'll go far. It's a great support and it really is a INSERT LEVEL HERE club. I think the sky's the limit. Of course they can INSERT ACHIEVEMENT HERE if they get things right off the park." You're welcome. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a side note, it's quite funny that there are people out there who think our poor performances so far are due to McAvoy "pulling the strings". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These people will presumably also be extremely worried if there's not enough change There's a certain streak in hearts fandom (that's probably reflected at other clubs) where people feel that the more annoyed they can get the more it shows they care. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would probably be healthier than the current state of apathy. Maybe it's a side-effect of the Romanov years, but it seems all the mental stuff the current board do is met with a collective shrug of the shoulders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insert Amusing Pseudonym Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 This change/reclassification better lead to change of style/nothing changing except results or i for one will not be happy. And I'll not be happy if it does change or stay the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
