Director of football roles are used extensively in Europe and can be effective. But not with Craig Levein in charge!

[keep the faith]

What's wrong with the passing of paper notes system like???

Get with it Billy!!!

[Iain G]

Ladies and gentleman, I give you, John Daly, new Hearts figurehead / puppet / acceptable face / patsy / stoodge...

Why does Harry Potter not just take over the managers role?!

"The alterations needed are outwith their financial boundaries at present" but i thought they were the big club ? In other words they are skint !

[Carheenlea]

So the guy gets interviewed for a particular position, but then starts to tell the prospective employers how to run their operation? Billy Davies is a very arrogant individual and this pretty much sums him up. A hard person to like, even when he is giving Hearts a dig.

[Billy Whizz]

If a bawbag like Billy Davies, says your clubs a mess, then they must be in a right mess

[Michael]

To be fair, the structure worked well with Nielson. Cathro was clearly incompetent and would have failed regardless of the managerial structure.

[heretoday]

Davies is a bit of a moron though isn't he?

[Tornadoes70]

To be fair, the structure worked well with Nielson. Cathro was clearly incompetent and would have failed regardless of the managerial structure.

We won't know if Cathro was the real deal or not until he has another crack at management and given free reign without Potter breathing down his neck. Its clear to me Potter is not for handing over complete control of the footballing management side to anyone and will remain an interference.

:greengrin

Did it work? The manager who took them to second place wanted to leave. Why he would want to do so when things were going, relatively, well is anyones guess but it could have been that "the structure" wasn't working.

[Stokesy's on fire]

Billy Davies is a clown..and i'm pretty sure he's a Hun as well....Hearts and Billy Davies can both bolt.

[Jim44]

....... because, like all managers, his job would be in constant jeopardy a lot of the time. In his role as DOF, he can pretty much point the finger of failure at the manager and safeguard his own job.

That would depend on whether the interview panel asked him for his thoughts on how he would bring improvement to the club. That would be a valid question and his response is equally valid. He might be a dick but he's not wrong.

[Platinum Scotty]

It's standard business practice in interviews to ask the applicant what changes/improvements they would bring and where they think they can add value. To me anyone that says 'oh I am fine with everything you have here' is probably the wrong person to get a job. Anyone I interview is always asked what they will do in the first 30/60/90 days, this seems to be what he was asked and they didn't like it
Irrespective of personal thoughts on Davies, fair play for calling it out before accepting the job and being hamstrung by a piss poor structure

[BullsCloseHibs]

Two slaps in the face in two days.

No one wants it.

I wonder why......

Messrs Budge Potter & Co rule :agree:

[erin go bragh]

As much as I dislike BD . He has pretty much hit the nail on the head regarding what's wrong at the PBS .
I
Who will be the next puppet :) Daley or the big or wee caveman .

[BullsCloseHibs]

Billy Davies is a clown..and i'm pretty sure he's a Hun as well....Hearts and Billy Davies can both bolt.

Things MUST be bad if Davies rules himself out.

Oh my days :greengrin

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Hartley or pressley will be the next manager i reckon... just waiting on them saying "i pick the team"

[Col2]

Hartley or pressley will be the next manager i reckon... just waiting on them saying "i pick the team"

I reckon it will be Pressley. They can't seriously think they can wheel out Daly and hope for no reaction? Surely even for the most gullible fans in the world?

[CB_NO3]

Maybe Budge and Levein never wanted to join his swinger club as part of the contract.

[Pete]

Levein must have more influence than everyone thought. You can't gag someone you haven't employed so this is telling.

Happy days. 😂

TBF, I've been at a couple of Interviews recently where there's a probable progression into Management and they asked me what I would change regarding the organisation of the team(s).

In my case, though, they specifically asked me for my imput, whereas I think Hearts have very definite ideas of how they want things structured.

[hughio]

Why does Harry Potter not just take over the managers role?!

Is it not because he's still involved in litigation over his sacking and can't take the manager's job for fear of prejudicing the value of his claim for damages?

[SirDavidsNapper]

Being turned down by Billy Davies must be a new low.

[Lancs Harp]

The enormity of their mistake in saking Cathers must now be setting in.

Lets face it they would be be up there with Celtic if they had kept faith in him. The football equivalent of Magnus Karlsen.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

OUT! - One chair removed and the music starts again....

[Jones28]

In fairness Neilson took them to second and probably would have done with or without Levine barking orders at him.

[chinaman]

Davies is a bit of a moron though isn't he?

He'll always be welcome at the lodge.
Arrogant hun fud

[hibbymark]

Probably told the structure is this is your first team coach (John my eyes and ears pi***d off because he didn't get the managers job and first class deliverer of paper notes Daly) . This is your assistant manager ( Austin the tramp equally to blame for the laptop failure previously employed Macphee that we can't afford to pay off ) and everything football related goes through me.

What at do you think Billy? And did I mention we have the largest glass curtain in Scotland?

[Carheenlea]

You will know better than me then on interview procedure - I've never had one!

Many's a true word said in jest. I think that's pretty close to what happened.

[Green-Hibee-7]

He's a clown anyway IMO.

There's a few Scots like him who have been/are down in England's second tier.

So bought into this English football is the best league in the world nonsense, that it almost sounds as they talk down the game up here. If I was a hearts fan I would be glad he's not getting the gig anyway.

[hibbydog]

I think they must have had a row and Davies is getting his point in early to p!ss them off. Just a feeling. Either that or Davies was rejected for the job and he wants to cover his ar5e.

Either way, his statement is highly damaging and makes the job considerably less attractive.

Not that it was very attractive in the first place mind....

But yer no. So enjoy the ride.

[sadtom]

Just waiting for the ultimate slap in the dish...when Stewart Baxter rules himself out!

[Mikey09]

So some think Davies is a twat? If I'm not mistaken a lot of folk think our managers a twat as well but he gets results. Davies in my opinion has only said what is glaringly obvious with our pink neighbours. Levein is a control freak and someone like Davies, Lennon etc would never work with him. It's no coincidence the experienced guys have all said they won't work with that structure and ruled themselves out. I might be wrong but they are gonna give it to John Daly.

[monktonharp]

We won't know if Cathro was the real deal or not until he has another crack at management and given free reign without Potter breathing down his neck. Its clear to me Potter is not for handing over complete control of the footballing management side to anyone and will remain an interference.

:greengrinI think young Cathro was hard done bye, wish he was still here:wink:

[monktonharp]

Just waiting for the ultimate slap in the dish...when Stewart Baxter rules himself out!

I'm beginning to think Stuart Baxter is actually a mythical being.

Has anyone ever actually seen this guy or heard him speak?

I think he's a figment of people's imagination.

[Is It On....]

Cracking stuff from Billy!

Cue kickback mayhem!

Wee Billy is toxic. There was a great post from a Forest fan on Sevco forum when they were interested in hiring him. There is a reason why, despite a good record, he doesn't have a job and our neighbours are better off (boo) despite him not being there.

[sadtom]

Genuinely, / whaes Stewart Baxter? I ken auld Stanley Baxter, loved his Glesga language programme. Apunnaburra furra murra and all that :greengrin

I sometimes wonder if he actually exists myself. The guy who seemed (some years back) to be associated with/applied for every job going (with nae chance of getting them)

[Tornadoes70]

I think young Cathro was hard done bye, wish he was still here:wink:

Thankfully if he was the real deal footballing genius it won't now be the yams who benefit. Potter made sure of that. :greengrin

Errarerrperraberrserr.

[Firestarter]

Davies was probably told the job wasn't his and is keeping his name in the press. Would have been a good match had he went to that lot mind.

[banarc7062]

Excellent. Long may he stay in "control" GGTTH

[jacomo]

Never mind Cathro's tactical masterclass... would have loved to hear Billy Davies 'clear plan' for Hertz.

"Dinnae be telling Billy Davies tae work wi a Director of Fitba. Youse ken f*** all. F*** off."

*leaves room, slams door on way out*

[Velma Dinkley]

Hearts are a skint, toxic shambles.

No! No ....Baxter is real
His family do a nice selection of tinned soup.
Awfy dear though!

Jambo ST guy i know is of the opinion it will be a "cheap and submissive candidate" who will get the job.
Elvis or Daly, he thinks.

[Dashing Bob S]

On the contrary, exceptionally easy to like when he's giving Hearts a dig. Then again, if Hitler had a little dig at Hearts finances and structures, I'd question just how deeply he was really involved in the holocaust.

Hitler may indeed have had a dig at Hearts, but he did not have a 'hun face' to the same extent as Davies does though. Which is ironic, since Mr Hitler led the German forces in WW2 and is considered the archetypal hun. Billy Davies' whole coupon just screams, 'I'm a rabid hun' at you. Look at his photo for 10 seconds, I dare you.
