Hartley

[RIP Bestie]

Please please please don't let this horrible little prick get the ICT job. Even with our record up there I have always enjoyed going and having good banter with their fans. Can't see me liking anyone who likes that little *******. Hope everything bad that can happen happens to them if they employ him

[Hibercelona]

Wouldn't really bother me. I hated him as a player. But as a manager, I couldn't care less, as long as TB has us beating them.

[I'm_cabbaged]

I couldn't stand that big prick butcher when he was a player as well, what about you?

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Unfortunately, I think that Hartley has something about him when it comes to being a manager. Wouldn't put me up nor down if he went on to be the real deal TBH. There is something appealing in the thought that in five seasons or so, he could be in the oppo dugout and Ian Murray could be in the home one.

Paul Hartley was a very good player for Hearts who despite putting us to the sword a few times, has never been one who had rubbed our noses in it or really disrespected us off the pitch.
As a player who was pretty high profile in Scotland, to take a managerial position and cut his teeth at the lower leagues when many of his peers expect to walk straight into high profile managerial gigs, he deserves some respect for that.

This. At times I don't get why he is so despised by Hibs fans. We emptied him, he came back to haunt us big time. He never rubbed our noses in it.

Time to move on and focus energies on Hibs.

[heretoday]

Hartley played some good stuff for Hibs. I recall one cracker of a goal against Dunf. He became a focus of hatred between us and Hearts and had to endure the most pathetic and offensive terracing song ever sung by Hibs fans.

This. Couldnt care less who they choose.

Was it Hartley that was booked when he was a sub for picking the ball up when it wasn't out of play?

He loved beating us on the pitch but you can understand why from his position. A good player who made the most of his career and now seems to be grafting hard to make it as a manager.

He also saw Vlad for what he was and was one of the 'Riccarton Three' who tried to warn the Yams about what was happening inside the club. I'd have been very happy if any of those players had given their best in a Hibs shirt.

I really can't stand the guy but he has done a great job with Alloa. Went to a couple of Stranraer Alloa games and Hartley is really passionate and has taken the team from Division 3 to the 1st division. Wouldn't be a bad appointment for ICT IMO.

He would have been a decent appointment for Hibs too. A young manager with new ideas & a hunger for the game.

I couldn't face him as Hibs manager. I remember him taunting us when he scored for Aberdeen at Pittodrie... we lost 4-2 that game

Prefer an experienced manager that has done a fantastic job in the top league already and has a massive hunger and desire to do well for himself and Hibs, clearly has all the ideas and techniques in working with players and building a positive mindset.

I don't have a problem with Hartley, but he wouldn't have been a good appointment at this time - a large part of our support wouldn't have cut him any slack at all.

[allezsauzee]

Let's be honest his main crime was being good against Hibs. Given the amount of abuse he took from us, he was bound to enjoy any victories against Hibs and he never resorted to the petty and disrespectful antics of the likes of Skacel. He seems to have done a very good job at Alloa so he deserves a crack at managing at a higher level.

To be honest compared to some of the other pieces of ***** employed by Hearts in recent years, he's tolerable. Was more than happy for a bit of banter with fans etc and I can't recall him ever bad mouthing Hibs to any great extent, he's night and day in comparison to a **** like Skacel for instance. I believe he was also very, very close to signing for Hibs before signing for Aberdeen.

He didn't pick it up, he walked onto the pitch and kicked it back to the keeper.

But yes, more or less.

[Zorro]

No problem at all with Hartley for me. Hated him when he played for Hearts, liked him when he played for us and wish he'd stayed. Interesting to see how he gets on if he gets that job.

Cheers dunno why that sticks in my mind.

I really hope he gets the job. I backed him at 20/1

Na no way!! I would be rajing/spewing

[Pretty Boy]

'Hated' him when he played for Hearts. Indifferent to him now.

Was a good player and looks like he could well be a good manager.

[hfc rd]

Couldn't care less who they choose. Whether it's Tony Mowbray, Sir Alex Ferguson to Paul Hartley & John Robertson. As long as Butcher & Malpas have us beating them for a change.

It wasn't just that he played well against us, it's that he was a poor signing when he played for us that made it worse.
