Pool Q Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Davies was only ever a candidate in his own imagination. Now that Freedman is out of the running I think it's pretty much cetain to be Pressley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that Budge was amazed by the amount and quality of the applicants for the job i would be surprised if its has been whittled down to Hartley, Pressley and Daly. I think they may be speaking to a few who haven't been named in the press yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pool Q Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 We'll know soon enough, but I don't think any of the 'names' mentioned were ever really in contention. We can't afford them. The talk on the train and in the pubs in Motherwell yesterday (which, if they weren't called The Clansman, really should have been) seemed to be around Budge hoping for some sort of result against Motherwell to bolster the case for giving Daly and the current coaching team the job, even short term (6-12 months). By far the cheapest option, and if nothing else it gives Daly time to get the players fit and organised after Cathro. Pressley the only other serious contender from what I can see, although he will be seen as divise with some fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from he's played for Hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumnio Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 Pressley is so dull and tedious, he makes Hartley seem positively enthralling. Imagine a team talk by Pressley, they team would fall asleep FFS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to ask Budge and Levein, I'm just relating who it looks like is in the running. Most people I know now seem to feel that Daly will be given some sort of contract.

He played for, captained and even (briefly) managed the club, even if he is now unpopular with some in the support now due to gestures he made at Tynecastle when playing there for Celtic? He 'knows' the club? He was at least a player and has some managerial experience, unlike Cathro? He impressed in interviews with Budge and Levein, and convinced them he could do well in the role they have in mind. Ultimately, I really don't know, all of that is just speculation, was just saying that it looks now (from the outside) to between him and Daly.

I don't understand a club looking to employ someone in a job which they haven't exactly been successful in previously. Happens all the time in football, more so than most industries. Weird.

Pool Q Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Levein can pass notes to himself now if this is confirmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pool Q Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 To be confirmed later today apparently, don't know if it is long term or on a temporary basis until someone else becomes available as some are saying. One version doing the rounds is Budge has basically told him to fix it or fvck off and she'll find someone who can. Supporters association thing at Tynecastle on Thursday night could be interesting.
