sbcmfc Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 By all accounts, and looking at his CV, he must be a good coach. Provably really well suited to the Hearrs job, with Craig Levein overseeing things. Seems like that could work well, I'd imagine he's an upgrade on Robbie Neilson.

dipped flake Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Cathro and MacPhee confirmed as head coach and assistant. Brilliant trolling of Boyd by Cathro at press conference Cathro, on his playing style: "I have numerous powerpoint presentations if you want to see my laptop..."

While I will wait before declaring the guy the saviour of Scottish football, he deserves a chance ahead of the same old faces that have failed elsewhere. None of these clowns* dared say a word in the 3 1/2 years Mccoist was in charge at Ibrox, but are happy to take a pop at a guy hours into the job. *i had typed a worse word, but I like Stephen Craigan Edited December 6, 2016 by sbcmfc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One worry (from a Hearts fan's perspective) is that, as you say, he doesnt come from the same old clique of usual suspects within the game up here, which is sort of the point. It doesn't feel like he has a lot of friends in the game or the media, particularly amongst most of the clueless, 'show's-yir-medals' gobshites that get work as pundits here. Many of them, I suspect, are ready and waiting to see him fall flat on his face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BremnerLorimerGray Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 It's no coincidence that both have been appointed. I think Levein will already have had the players in to lay the law down before his arrival. I really do applaud Hearts for appointing 2 guys who clearly have a bright future(and a solid past) in coaching, I have no doubts they will reap the benefits. It's a step in the right direction for Scottish Football, which will hopefully see more professional coaches getting top jobs because of their skills/qualiications rather than because they are an ex player player with an over inflated sense of entitlement. The likes of Fullerton and Boyd have really shown themselves up badly over the last few days with their ill informed rantings. It really has highlighted how ill prepared these guys actually are for a career in coaching, so much so, that they should be nowhere near a training field unless they are being told what to do, ironically enough, by a qualified coach.

Clearly Robert Grieve isn't bright enough to see that people are deriding Boyd, not for having an opinion, but for having an opinion that seems to have been formed on very little knowledge of Cathro and that was expressed in insulting terms. Never mind, i'm sure your average moron that buys The Sun are like Grieve and can't see the difference either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Although to be devils advocate, there are plenty who have him as some sort of visionary genius based on little or no knowledge themselves. Boyds attitude may be indicative of the resistance he could encounter in a dressing room, but you'd hope not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He started off his article with (talking about Cathro) "he's not been this excited since Fifa 17 came out". The guy's an ignorant wh@nk. Who's saying he's a "visionary genius"? I've not seen these comments. I've seen folk being excited about the appointment of an intelligent, articulate young coach who's made a career for himself across Europe at some big clubs, based solely on his abilities as a coach. Then i've saw a nobody who failed as Notts County manager and a guy who wasted his talent as a player slag him off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with you, but I'm sure you'd find posts on here touting him for all sorts of jobs, and while the term "visionary genius" might not have been used, that's how he appears to be seen. He may well be a visionary genius, I'd certainly be quite excited about his appointment, if I liked Hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
