Could it be bye bye to our manager too ?

I know money talks, but would like to think that our manager has started a system of playing with a pool of players of his choosing. Hearts are a club in turmoil on and off the park and it will take a major overall to get them competing again at the top end of the league. IMO StephenRobinson is waiting for the national manager’s job of his country. Time will tell

If Heart want Stephen Robinson they will get him, as money is the only thing that influences football players/managers. Anyone who thinks any different clearly learned nothing from the Craig Brown/Aberdeen episode back in 2010.

McInnes turned down multiples of his salary at Sunderland and there have been others...but in general you're right, money talks unless a manager has a very particular career plan in mind.

As for Robbo, I've said before that I think his Oldham experience will make him wary of jumping to a basket case club (like Sunderland, say) and he seems set on managing Northern Ireland. It's how he thinks of getting there that matters. Hearts and Aberdeen are the two in between clubs in Scotland where actual success above 'par' is incredibly hard to achieve and relative failure is highly likely...is the extra cash they'd offer him worth the risk on his path to Belfast?

I'm also not nearly as convinced as some in the media that he'll be their first choice, certainly not when there are others available cheaper or for free. He's done very well for us but Tommy Wright has achieved much more with St Johnstone and is still stuck in Perth.

There are some ridiculous names on this list but plenty that make as much, if not more, sense than Robinson: https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.c...-824445?page=3

Looking at some of the tactical horror shows and industrial football Robinson has put on show over the last few years I doubt he will be of much interest to Hearts. They have had their fill of that kind of stuff under Levein.

Robinson is still very much a developing manager and still has a lot to learn. There has been much improvement over the last 12 months and if Turnbull had been available it may even have been better. One day Keith will take over from him. Just not yet.

Brilliant... though given our options from that list we could do worse. That said, I'd expect Lasley has first call on it.
