Superb news he hasn’t got a scooby and is somehow duller than his predecessor which seemed an impossible task

"Naismith has impressed in the role which saw just two defeats from his seven games in charge "

Very impressive, just 2 defeats, 3 draws and 2 wins. 😂

[O'Rourke3]

Jambos and Dons with new management before Christmas. Got.to love Hearts. Sack Robbie replay as third was in doubt. Just stave off being 5th and offer the job to a novice. My money on Leprechaun Lookalike Liam Boyce next up.

Great news for us.

I’m convinced he’ll be utterly hopeless.

[Crab apple]

Great news. He’s a downgrade on Robbie Replay.

Pleasing

[SHODAN]

Christ.

[ehf]

Excellent, the gunts have appointed a loathsome welt with virtually no managerial experience; what could possibly go wrong?

[Col2]

This proves beyond any doubt Budge and co lack any real ambition for Hearts first team.

Budge in particular is very keen to ensure the women’s team and the boutique hotel are given the right investment and focus. To her it’s the whole project and she has her friends to wine and dine.

[1875godsgift]

Gutted by this.

I was hoping they'd appoint another German who'd never heard of them before and who liked to spend long liquid lunches drinking heavily in Digger's :drunk:

[GreenPJ]

We need to have them at home for first derby. Imagine if he had no wins in 3 against us - the fans would be hounding him out before we got to Autumn.

[NAE NOOKIE]

You can't just presume the guy will be Eartha Kitt. But how often does an ex player being handed a top job ( in a Scottish context ) as his first gig work out? Not very often. He can talk about all the top managers he has played under all he wants, but so have hundreds of players who haven't made a dent in management.

It has to be said the guy's temperament is incredibly suspect, he was a dirty wee scrote on the pitch with a nasty streak and when his team hit a bad patch, as they inevitably will, how will he react? You have to wonder is his short fuse will end up losing him the dressing room.

He does have a charitable streak and has personally supported a number of charities, so as a human being you can't say he's all bad. But in a football context that side of him seems to get swamped ... if what he allegedly said to Kevin Nisbet in the cup semi final is true, then there's no excusing it, it was beneath contempt.

Never mind what he does at Hearts, this is exactly the sort of hateful wee twat we need on that side of the city to motivate our players to greater efforts in the derby.

[LaMotta]

Our infuriating inability to break down their ten men on Saturday has ultimately led to Naismith getting the gig, because if we'd won there is no way he would have been appointed.

Lets hope that's a blessing.

[green day]

They can draft a press release about this, and not about the attacks on our players?

I ****ing hate that club.

[GRA]

We need to have them at home for first derby. Imagine if he had no wins in 3 against us - the fans would be hounding him out before we got to Autumn.

We had them first at home this season so can virtually guarantee we'll be at Tynie first next season.

[heretoday]

I shouldn't imagine most Hearts fans would be happy about this news.

[DIXIHIBS]

I shouldn't imagine most Hearts fans would be happy about this news.

Right now they are more concerned that the daily record has us ahead of them in the attendance league this season. Keekbackers are beside themselves.

What did he (allegedly) say to KN?

Bizarrely it's also who most of Hearts fans seem to want too. They reckon he has done a decent job so far!

[Spike Mandela]

The cheap option. It was evident from day one this clown didn’t have the temperament to be a manager and it will all end in tears. Great news.

Sacked by Christmas.

Brilliant news. Look forward to watching him being red carded to the stands after every hate-filled, Hunnish outburst while his first 11 run about like disorganised morons :thumbsup:

[WhileTheChief..]

Apparently Hibs give away 3,00 tickets free for every non Old Firm or Hearts game.

Where do they get such nonsense from?

[The Harp Awakes]

A cheap option for Hearts and they're taking a big risk in appointing him. Not well liked by many on and off the pitch either it seems.

Would present a good opportunity for Hibs to kick on next season and become dominant over them.

[Big_Franck]

Money clearly drying from Benny as his old and new investments suffer big losses.

You're obsessed with this.

Great news for us if Naismith does get the job full time. He'll be sacked by Christmas.

[Springbank]

Always assuming ICT lose to Celtic in the cup final (and it would be the biggest cup final shock of all time if Caley were to win) last Saturday might just be the perfect result for us.

:hyperWe still get into Europe
:hyperThere's a decent chance we get a fair draw and head through to the 3rd qualifying round anyway (same as finishing 4th anyway) so no harm done
:hyperIf we'd beaten Hearts Naismith stood no chance of getting the job (2 derby defeats & a 5th place finish)

So now we *should* get to the 3rd qualifying round in Europe AND Hearts season 23/24 is holed under the waterline before it's even begun

[Vault Boy]

So the chat is a 2 year contract. Talk about hedging your bets! Hahaha

Seems very weird.

[DIXIHIBS]

It shows the ridiculous fine lines in football these days. If we had won (deservedly) on Saturday, Naismith would have been hounded out of Tinycastle. He scrapes a draw and possibly gets the permanent job.

[JamesHFC]

Are they skint again?

[Since452]

Genuinely think Robson and Naismith will both be emptied early. Massive gambles.

I think we probably do through our various community initiatives but only Hearts fans could turn charitable donation into a negative.

Congratulations to Naismith on getting the job thanks to fans, who don't celebrate draws, wildly celebrating draws in their last 2 matches.

He’s well liked enough to help out with coaching the national team-they don’t appoint anyone liable to cause problems. If he gets the job he’ll be ok but no star.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

He manged to turn a plummet from 3rd by a distance to scraping 4th by a whisker into a Lazarus type performance , so no doubt he ticks all the boxes for the Jambo lovein.

That is true, I fancy the same is happening here .

Well i read that Naismith is off on his holidays. So guess his interview has been done already :greengrin

[bod]

I’d like to think that LJ’s comment on 250 games pressurised their board to back him

I suppose they think he is worth a chance. What a fud the man is; he'll be right at home.

No surprise that Budge has gone for the under the nose safe option again. The 2 times she's been a bit adventurous (Cathro and Stendel) it has been a bigger disaster than when she's gone for the safe, cheap option.

It's absolutely brilliant much how us winning the cup hurt them, so much so that irrespective of what Neilson done for them a huge part of their support can't let go of that hurt.

Enjoy going backwards under Naismith! Neilson will feel like Pep after the season they're going to have under that Hun idiot! - Glorious indeed.

[007]

Last time Neilson left (not sacked but hounded out) he was replaced by a young rookie manager who took them over in 3rd place and they got worse. Is history repeating itself with Naismith? A young rookie manager who took them over in 3rd and they just scraped into 4th. Both Cathro and Naismith were born in that gloriously jinxed year for them, 1986. 😃

Watch this space.

Will be interesting to see if Anderson continues his annual £4m gift to Hearts after this coming season. He provided a guarantee, for 5 more years of support during Covid. I think there's one more to go after this season.

For this season just ended Hearts would have had £4m from Anderson, £1m+ from Foundation, and £4m+ injection from Euro money. Imagine how c@@p they are going to be with £10m less in their pockets. I hope they've made some good plans for life after Anderson.

They've had nearly £45m of funding pumped in to them the last few years and finished 2 points ahead of Hibs. If that's not worth a LOL then what is?

The free money train is close to stopping. The fact he's on the board too will stop the gifts under fair play rules. Unlike der hun, Hearts can't offer shares as it dilutes the Foundation's ownership.

Are there restrictions on directors gifting money to clubs and are the FFP rules followed in Scotland?

Anderson has been a director for a couple of years now I think. I guess he wanted a board seat to observe how his £25m has been spent.

A bit like the financier of a circus asking for front seats to the clown show.

I don't know the rules around FFP, but in an interview with the Times recently, Anderson talked about how it wasn't easy / simple to just donate money to the club. Maybe something to do with these rules?

At the time, he had just donated £80m to a school or uni in Italy!

We don't have our own FFP, or similar. However, it becomes relevant for those clubs playing in UEFA competitions, where restrictions are enforced.

“Naisy” it appears to be then, until he’s hounded out in Autumn and referred to as Naismith.

Thought they played well against Aberdeen and did look a bit more cohesive attacking wise. Difficult to tell from our game given the early goal and sending off. Assume he must have something if Clarke had got him in international squad though can’t imagine Nisbet too happy with that.

[Springbank]

He was helped by Ginnelly up front being in a purple patch too.

They seem to have gotten carried away after pumping Ross County. They were strangely happy with their 2-2 draw at Ibrox aswell, disregarding the fact that it was a meaningless game for Rangers and they only scraped a point with a last minute equaliser. It's like us thinking we're world beaters cos we beat Celtic 4-2.

I'm laying money on Naismith/MacAvoy not being Hearts management team at Easter 2024 - sacked before then I reckon.

Appointed on a new manager bounce, where they got men sent off every other game (due to poor tactics & set up), fell out with 3 opposing managers out of 6, & scraped 4th due to a couple of wonder goals from an out of contract Ginnelly.

There may be trouble ahead...

So does this only apply to European games!
If it is, after they are knocked out in the 2nd round, would Naismith be named the new Manager?

Getting carried away again with the best manager ( who's not actually a manager ) since Alex Ferguson. WAIT WAS THAT NO ROBBIE.....🤭. A few quotes from one " We play attacking possession football . We use to be the old firms b***h but that mentality is changing. We need a bigger stadium , 30,000 then watch us go . We are pulling away from the sheep and Hibs now. Clearly this one's drink is away too strong 😂😂😂

I heard that too. ‘robust recruitment process’ Oh! My sides. Do Hearts fans really believe that nonsense? If he was the best candidate in the ‘process’ the rest must have been unconscious.

Given having a manager without a pro licence earns you fines per game played… will this get investigated? It’s patently obvious, given he was caretaker, heavily hinted at getting the job and now suddenly he’s a ‘Technical Director’ with a patsy as Head Coach… surely UEFA will come looking for their due / proof he isn’t actually managing the team?

[Since452]

Very strange appointment by Hearts. You can't even say he came in and had a flukey run like Robson at Aberdeen so deserved it. 2 wins in 7. Bizarre appointment and even more bizarre with the Technical Director job title. Can always count on Hearts to give you a laugh.

Blatantly obvious that technical director, tea boy, tin pot, whatever title is used is simply a way to avoid stating the fact that Naismith is the permanent manager despite having the same qualifications as a recently deceased rat.

They’re just following their “comfort zone” ethos of appointing from within or recent known quantities. Jeffries, Levein and Neilson all rejoined them for a second spell. Even Cathro was a pupil of Levein at Dundee United. Mind you their one recent left field appointment (Stendel) must have scared them to death.

In his defence, he only finished his A-License this year and you need a year between completing that and starting the Pro. He’ll not be on it until next year.

Although, it is all very tinpot.

My money is on Hearts being out of 2 competitions before the schools go back (Conference & League Cups) with minimum 3 red cards in the 3 games

Naismith's tactics leave huge gaps in behind at full back that (like in the last derby) the space is easy for a decent team to exploit, inviting desperate red card challenges game-by-game-by-game.

I agree with that. Hearts fans I know are gushing about this new high energy, attacking style. It’s one thing doing that for 7 games it’s another doing that over a 40+ game season. I think it is a nice idea but it’s a bit naive, if it was easy, all clubs would just play that way. His points total over the last 7 games wasn’t anything out the ordinary either.

All it would take would be a pumping from one of the better sides and they’d soon be questioning their own strategy, like what happened to Hibs at Parkhead last season.

[Mick O'Rourke]

My hearts mates all seem really happy with this. They say they enjoy ‘his brand of football’, which given Robbie Rotten’s style you can understand. What makes me happy is our two main rivals in the league next season are newly appointed rookies while we have an established manager with 10 years experience who’s been with us for a year. Gonna be an interesting season!

Not long ago it was Levein the DoF's job to sack Levein the Head Coach and now it's the Head Coach (but not the Head Coach)'s job to sack the kiddy-on Head Coach. 🤔

[Libby Hibby]

I don’t buy this sound bite that he has them ‘playing a more attacking style of football’.

With Hertz fans, they’ve always got to try and take any positives out of any situation and this is their narrative for the Naismith appointment.

Cheap option, zero experience, unlikable character, sacked by Halloween.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Are Technical Directors allowed to be in the Technical Area on a Saturday?

[mixumatosis]

What happens if Frank McAvoy leaves ? Is there a cut off date and as long as you have someone with the UEFA Pro License in post on that date you're covered ? Or would they have to find someone else who has the license, who's prepared to take the title of head coach while basically being second in command ?

Does anyone know who's actually in charge at that lot?

I thought it was Naismith but with some geezer, McEvoy (who?), named officially as head coach just to keep UEFA happy. Just noticed this DR article from yesterday evening with McEvoy (who?) saying it is definitely him that's in charge.

https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/frankie-mcavoy-ends-hearts-confusion-30380990.amp

I wonder what the Jambos' take on it is, I bet they don't even have a clue themselves and would tie themselves in knots trying to give a coherent answer. He's trying to suggest it is a collaboration with 3 of them jointly deciding and him having the final say. Sounds like an effing mess that's not likely to go wrong, is it? 😂😂😂

We need to be totally ripping the p¡ss out of them about this set up. You know for a fact they would if we had something like this going on.

That article is hilarious!! It’s so obvious it’s a fluff piece planted to make uefa or other mugs looking in think that The Rat is not the man calling the shots. You’re telling me hearts have basically installed McEvoy as their new manager 😂😂😂.

Let’s see how they conduct the media roles. No doubt McEvoy will do the first few especially on video (evidence he’s in charge) and Naismith will pick up the majority of love-ins on BBC radio.

Watch this space Naismith will have been sacked before he even gets the job. That’s a first!!

[Since452]

All seems a bit of an amateurish comedy act over there at the moment. They finally looked like they'd got their house in order but they are making a right good go of shooting themselves in the foot again. If they're being honest with themselves nobody is going to bring them the level of success Neilson did and they've emptied him, for who? Nobody seems to know who is in charge. Both Naismith and McAvoy are saying they are. Do they talk to each other? Has their DOF just given the job to his mate? A management team that won 2 in 7. Bizarre situation, even for Heart of Midlothian and that's saying something. Funny though.

Looks like it’s all UEFA’s fault anyway because of their rules around licences etc. rules that have been in for how long??

[CapitalGreen]

The weirdest thing about it for me is they brought McEvoy in to overhaul their academy on Savage’s recommendation having worked together down South. They have now removed him from that role to act as a front man for the highly inexperienced Naismith and their academy is now essentially without leadership until they find a replacement. Chat was Andy Webster coming back to run their academy but that’s gone quiet. If it doesn’t work out for Naismith at Tynie and he’s sacked, is McEvoy punted too? Why give up a relatively safe role as Academy Director to be a patsy for a first-time manager?

I believe there's a requirement for any permanent manager (ie not interim) in all of the top divisions in European leagues to have the full badges.

Basically if naismith was to pretend he was boss, hearts would cop a £20k fine every time they take the field, in all competitions


"A Pro Licence is required for anyone who wishes to manage a football club in the top tier of any European nation's league system on a permanent basis, i.e. more than 12 weeks (the amount of time an unqualified caretaker manager is allowed to take control). Such a licence is also required to manage in the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League.[2][3]"

I think there are some exemptions if coach is enrolled. Steven Gerrard didn’t have his license in his first season at Rangers but they didn’t have this drama. The guy Will Still at Reims… his fines stopped when he was enrolled.

Why didn’t Hearts just announce a timeline for Naismith doing his qualification and outline how long McAvoy would be number 1?

Or really, why not just hire a coach who is qualified? They’re going through all this for Naismith?! Bizarre

Part of the issue is that he has not confirmed to have achieved his A license yet. He then has to wait a year after that before he could do his Pro. I suppose they could’ve said McAvoy is in charge for this season and then Naismith takes over after that, once enrolled. But there’s no certainties.

The more they announce how much the fans/Anderson have donated, the more it hightlights how badly they are mismanaged by Budge/Savage. If it wasn't for the donations they'd be an upper level Championship side on a par with their chums Partick.

I’ve heard a rumour that hertz are actually brassic at the minute, due to budgeting for finishing 3rd again this season. You’d think with Benny, their European money from last year and their crowdfunding dosh they’d be able to outdo hibs and get levitt and a better manager than rat boy.

It's not very clear who is in charge and must be affecting their chances of signing players for next season.

"Who's getting sacked in the morning? Who's getting sacked in the moooorning?"

And to add to the omnishambles they’ve just proudly announced the fans have contributed almost £16m to the foundation. As if spending that, the £25m sent by Anderson, the European money, the 3 cup final runs etc wasn’t something to be embarrassed about. At what stage does someone actually pipe up and ask where the hell has the money gone?

Harsh.

They added yet another lower league title to their collection in 20/21.

Seemingly Jack Hendry is their latest target rumour, and according to another slaver over there who is continually putting up names of players they should be after this could be a goer,as it would help Hendry become a Scottish International, must be another Jack Hendry who has played for Scotland in last few games then.🤣🤣


We will take him too from the tramps.

Nothing like some sophisticated humour. In fact definitely nothing like it.

[FilipinoHibs]

I’ve heard a rumour that hertz are actually brassic at the minute, due to budgeting for finishing 3rd again this season. You’d think with Benny, their European money from last year and their crowdfunding dosh they’d be able to outdo hibs and get levitt and a better manager than rat boy. Makes you wonder, how much are these duds Neilson signed last year on a week?

Think Benny will be tightening his wallet to. His old Scottish Mortgage Trust is down 60% from its all time high, down 11% this year. He is a non executive director at Kinnevik which up just 10% this year. For comparison the tech heavy Nasdaq 100 is up 38% this year.

You've been making such claims for several years, yet Anderson not only continues to piss away money on Hearts but also made a £100m donation to an Italian university.

So the facts demonstrate that he's not running out of money any time soon.

Do you not think a man with his expertise in the field of investment banking, got out before it plummeted?? Or should I say take a hit!

You answered your own question there…. His old.

Zander Clark taking off during the warm up, not sure if serious or just precautions.

I hope he’s okay and it’s not too serious… but at the same time, that more than suits us if he’s out for a while. Who’s their other “other goalie”?

On the basis that a broken clock is right twice a day the one thing the Yams got right was signing Clark as back up to spotty, he's decent. It would be terrible if they had to start the season with their 3rd choice keeper :greengrin

He looked fat from decent at nisbets free kick in last derby.

Indeed, but also made a few decent saves to keep the score 1 - 1 I believe. He's not in Gordon's class, but they guy aint bad and if it is a semi serious injury Hearts will have a job getting somebody as good without laying out a few bob IMO.

In case anybody is keeping tabs, McAvoy was the post match manager today.

My jambo mates tell me that the pre-game manager was Naismith though.

And to complete the set, the half time team talk was delivered by the third Stooge.

[Paul1642]

I could quite possibly be proved wrong but so far hearts are not worrying me at all for the coming season. Their management team are poor and the playing squad fished last season on a downwards slope and they are yet to do anything to improve that team.

Meanwhile we have strengthened well and early.

Aberdeen are the competition for 3rd imo.

I think it’s too early to make a proper judgment.

We have lost Nisbet and haven’t yet replaced Fish or got him
Back in. I am pleased we have stenghternin goalkeeping and left back and we look like we have recruited well. But we are 4-5 players short with at least two absolutely crucial. We have Boyle back as well.

Hearts have lost ginnelly (2nd best player) and have lost all remaining pace. But they have Beni (so) and Boyce back and should have the financial power to recruit well. Agree Naismith is a week link and it will end in tears. However they could buy some decent quality hence I think it’s too early judge IMHO.

[Fiddich]

Shambles lol

Totally agree. They are embarrassing themselves big time. A complete shambles. With our new policy of smarter signings, I'm fairly certain, that we will finish above, the confusion, and , melee, that has developed down gorgie way. The Gordons deserve our gratitude, for the way we are conducting business, in a dignified, and honorable fashion.
