Naismith

[Dashing Bob S]

Half-hoping he gets a result tomorrow as I want him around a little longer. My fear is that Hearts - dull pragmatists that they are - then break the bank to get McInness and cement themselves in third for the next five years, boring us all to death on and off the park in the process.

[Springbank]

Is that the Derek McInnes at second bottom killie?

I'm not exactly quaking in my boots here

Hope Saints put 5 past them

[Bostonhibby]

Naisy must stay, the vital part in the chain that is involved in the management of all that extra money we keep hearing about and he is in charge of creating that unique atmosphere at their wee stadium.

Why would we want a guy who skooshed 3rd around a little longer?

[green day]

They will probably get a draw and celebrate like its a cup win*










*not that they can remember one of them :greengrin

[Mcbizz1998]

Hmm not sure, they clearly have a decent squad as we saw last season, think they have only really lost Cochrane since then? Once they start winning, they could get back in the groove and back on track?

The longer they continue to get pumped the better imo. I'm really annoyed we never took advantage of it enough, if we held our nerve v Dundee and Killie we would be 8 points ahead of them!!

I always thought McInnes would be a good fit for them. It would actually worry me more if they went for Robinson though.

I'd hazard a guess that everything that has happened since then is probably an influence on that line of thought.

[Donegal Hibby]

A draw would probably be the best result for us though don’t mind if hertz get beat. The more they are the better .

As for the fear of Naismith getting sacked and McInnes getting the job , I’m not bothered about it . He ain’t no Pep Gaurdiola he’s made out to be and his football is generally rank rotten.

[MWHIBBIES]

I'd hazard a guess that everything that has happened since then is probably an influence on that line of thought.

What has happened? A rough start to the following season? Is that all it takes?

[Hibee Daft]

I hope they get rid of him.

Whoever comes in isn't going to change there lack of squad depth. Shankland has probably had his head turned with a contract elsewhere already and thinking about signing to somewhere else in Jan.

The replacement striker they have at the moment is Boyce, genuinely perplexing why they never got in another striker especially when they had the lure of playing European football.

[Broken Gnome]

What has happened? A rough start to the following season? Is that all it takes?

Complete inability to win a game since the league split last year. Awful pre-season leads into underperforming in three separate competitions despite designs on third place or better. Unable to get a tune out of a squad that has far more strength in depth than better performing rivals. Unable to motivate his star striker whose influence has dried up. Near universally opposed by his own fan base and Jambo media who deride his tactical approach.

Just hypothesising. General logic suggests if Hearts fans want a manager punted, Hibs fans would be quite content if they delayed that inevitability as long as possible.

[GreenCastle]

Hearts play 6 games before the Derby at Easter Road - St Mirren home and away. Aberdeen away - Ross County home - plus x2 Euro ties - one home and one away.

Hibs play 3 games - 2 away (Dundee Utd and Rangers) and Motherwell home.

The Derby could be make or break for Naismith depending on how they do before then.

Hibs are 4 points ahead but Hearts have chance to close that gap and will play a game extra before they play us too.

[Donegal Hibby]

I see they have a thread on Naismith’s stats if accurate…

Games played .. 64 .
Won .. 28 .
Drawn.. 12 .
Lost.. 24 .
Goals for .. 88.
Goals against.. 82 .

I think a blind man can see clearly the train of thought in wanting Naebadges to continue in position. And we all know MWH likes to stir things. No need to explain bud 👍

Really have no intention to stir anything, and I never have. Why do you feel the need to break forum rules by making personal comments about me? Stick on topic please .

I really don't follow hearts results closely so couldn't really give much of an opinion on how they're playing etc . Hence why I asked.

If he's really doing rubbish then keep him there, sure. He's still the same guy who got them 3rd by miles, though. And they didn't start last season too well iirc.

[Gloucester Hibs]

Hope they get pumped the morn. Even a draw means they could be ahead of us by the time we head to Ibrox. Defeat and Naismith likely punted is the ideal scenario for me

Naismith is one of the few Hearts managers who doesn't have a winning derby record. They just don't seem to be able to perform at the same level against us under him as others have got them to do.

For that reason I'd prefer he stayed.

[Donegal Hibby]

So from the point of view some of us want to see Naismith stay at hertz which will need them to start doing better , does this mean some on here are actually wanting to see them doing better and picking up points ? .

Best case scenario is he continues to fail, they sack him and get someone just as bad in ala 2020.

Bit more realistic would be acceptably plodding on for a while yet, and hope he's got the ear of Budge etc to the extent they can't be arsed with the whole upheaval of change even though he's under achieving and everybody hates him.

Not asking for much.

Regardless of whatever form we're in, I've never felt that worried about playing a Naismith side.

Does McInnes not have some ridiculously good record against Hibs? You'd be hard pushed to expect an improvement of that if he ever ended up in a Hearts dugout.

[Keith_M]

Won 1, drawn 3, lost 1


And the win was because of bad refereeing.

[Since90+2]

If Hearts lose tomorrow he'll be sacked.

[Baader]

Agree with Dashing Bob, would much prefer he is in place for the forseeable. There does seem an inevitability he'll be sacked fairly soon though, think the majority of their fans want him gone now.

They can't keep appointing dud managers and even by the law of averages I worry they'll get someone in who can do a job eventually. McInnes, as has been said before, seems a natural fit for that lot and their clogger like fitba.

[K-Zazu]

If they can get Baningame and Nieuwenhof playing in the middle again they will probably be alright think that was when they went on that run last season. Will leave a lot of unhappy midfielders because they’ve got a few.

[easty]

That’s interesting, because on at least two occasions in recent years, Hibs next game after a Manager’s sacking was against St Mirren in Paisley. Craig was in charge on one of these occasions & Lawrie Reilly & Pat Nevin were sitting behind me. I suggested to Lawrie that the team were lacking confidence. Lawrie responded “The term you’re looking for is lacking ability, son!”

I think it's important Hearts don't panic here. They have the brightest young manager in world football and will be rewarded for their patience when he takes them places next season.

They'll enjoy trips to Airdrie, Livingston and Greenock.

That was the time Budge tried to bribe the SFA for reconstruction with Anderson’s millions. She soon disappeared with her tail between her legs and Anderson still had to shell out millions to make it look like it was some new found philanthropy towards Scottish football in general.

Strangely, he hasn’t been back with his general SFA donations since then. His total spend now must be over £40m since he got involved with Budge. That’s a lot of cash to shell out on tieless entry to the directors lounge and a few meals in the non-castle-view Castleview Restaurant.

Opening game they looked a decent side. Limited rangers to very little.

Suppose that’s the issue. Limiting the OF to little is a completely different thing to creating against teams who are attempting to make sure you create very little. Being good at one doesn’t mean you’ll be good at the other and that appears to be massively to their detriment so far this season.

I wouldn't worry too much who replaces him. They absolutely skooshed 3rd with Naismith in charge. Things can change very quickly. I'd rather we got our own house in order and hopefully we're well on the way to that.

[Paul1642]

Me too i’m absolutely terrified of this

Weird take on things for two reasons.

1. Mcinnes’ Kilmarnock side are sitting on 1 win from 14 competitive games. Not exactly terrifying. You can call this 0 wins from 7 league wins. Is his stock really night enough to be scary?

2. McInnes signed a new deal with Kilmarnock when we were rumoured to want him. Are bottom placed hearts, outwith the transfer window, (if we even wanted him) really more appealing to him than a clean slate at Hibs at the start of a transfer window?

I doubt that Hearts want McInnes, I doubt that Mcinnes wants to go to hearts, and I doubt that he would do well if he does go there.

4 points ahead with a game in hand with thing staring to look up at Hibs. Terrified is far from my current feeling.

Surely not? I'll assume this is a piss take. Where are Killie in the table these days?

Yes i’m joking

[Waxy]

Weird take on things for two reasons.

1. Mcinnes’ Kilmarnock side are sitting on 1 win from 14 competitive games. Not exactly terrifying. You can call this 0 wins from 7 league wins. Is his stock really night enough to be scary?

2. McInnes signed a new deal with Kilmarnock when we were rumoured to want him. Are bottom placed hearts, outwith the transfer window, (if we even wanted him) really more appealing to him than a clean slate at Hibs at the start of a transfer window?

I doubt that Hearts want McInnes, I doubt that Mcinnes wants to go to hearts, and I doubt that he would do well if he does go there.

4 points ahead with a game in hand with thing staring to look up at Hibs. Terrified is far from my current feeling.

Hearts are in the European group stages. So yes, far more appealing than Hibs to a neutral right now.

A worse prospect would be Alex Neil, someone I think we should have tried to get over the last 3 years. Rumours are he may be being lined up for them.If it's the job he's waiting on then yes, but he's been quoted all summer saying his future is currently down south.

They don't really pull something out of the bag. Bar a handful of spells when we've dominated we just tend to wilt in derbies. History shows our record in the fixture is outrageously awful.

Replacing him now, the next manager would be set up to fail.

Sacking a manager shortly after a transfer window ends (or especially as it’s nearing its end) is a sure fire sign of a badly run club who don’t know what they’re doing.

The guy’s got a 100% record at finishing third. He at least deserves the first round of fixtures.

Unless he’s totally lost the dressing room or has been Rixing, it shouldn’t be a topic for discussion.

And clubs need to learn to face up to their own fans when they get moany after a handful of poor results - our own included.

Their last win came may 12th I’d love them to keep him as it looks like it’s something he won’t/can’t turn around but if that was us I’d want him out, 100% record at third or not they are currently 14 behind aberdeen who have a game in hand and Europe hasn’t started yet

Shankland was no doubt good but you simply cannot call one on form striker the difference between romping 3rd and sitting bottom.

They were very much reliant on Shankland and his goals last year , what was it ? Something like 31 goals in all competitions and then there was a massive drop to Vargas I think on 9 . Makes you wonder where they’d have finished without them … maybe we are seeing that now so far this season …

Another thing is out of the 20 wins they had last season which you have to say is impressive they won 11 of them by just a single goal .. sign of a good team or maybe one that’s riding there luck and was getting the breaks? …

He was a good player who unfortunately played for Rangers and Hearts, but he wasn't a thug. Collins was desperate for Hibs to push the boat out and sign him from Killie.

I have no idea if he's a 'thug' in the dressing room but I think it's a hasty decision for Hearts to sack him. Yam or not I feel some sympathy for any young manager who gets punted. Despite the awful start to the season I think there's a decent chance he'd have beaten county next week.

There was a derby - think it was the 1-3 disaster pre-Covid - when he came on as sub and seemed to have the gameplan of doing nothing but noising folk up. He was almost rabid at how he'd involve himself in everything, everyone and every decision.

He might well be a good charitable guy in real life, and maybe not an out and out thug on the pitch, but this is football and his football persona was actively one of being a hated wee nyaff, and so fair to say I'm bloody delighted his wee torn face has even more of a sour puss demeanour.

McKinlay's comments today justifying the sacking make him look an eejit if you look at his gushing comments about Naismith just last month after giving him a new contract.

How many people in charge of running football clubs actually have a clue whether a manager is good or not? Should these roles not go to people who've played/coached to a high level? No coincidence that Alex Ferguson having more or less complete control at Man U led to them being utterly dominant for so long.

These CEOs claim to carry out exhaustive research etc and are quick to bask in any success their appointments achieve but when most of them are from business backgrounds they simply don't know what makes a successful sports coach. To flip it on its head you wouldn't put a football manager in charge of appointing a club accountant or lawyer.

He always wanted to manage St J. Worked his ticket beautifully

Bring back Daniel stendel

Disappointed he's gone.

Was such a good fit for them. Minging wee rat.

Interested to see who they go for, Hearts record when appointing mangers with no previous association to the club is pretty woeful.

Liam Fox has stepped up to the plate as interim Hearts (https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/hearts-fc) manager - with Lee Wallace and Angus Beith his assistants

Strange one was that why he didn’t come here?

Couldn't have happened to a nicer, well rounded individual. :sick:

Completely agree, a narcissist ******** who was a stain on Scottish football, hopefully he now spends the rest of his days out of football completely

That's some promotion for Beith, he's 28!

Alex Neil early bookies' favourite. Let's hope it's not him.

I wonder if Eduard Malofeyev is available for a return? :greengrin

I see a few of them touting Stendel for a return too .

At least he might know who they are this time round.

He’d probably be the best choice of the usual names. I wanted us to go for him but always thought he was desperate to stay down south.
