edinburghowl Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Robbie Neilson still not gone at Hearts although someone I know connected to the club reckons we have sounded out Derek McInness for the job for next season. Howe to Celtic appears to be almost a done deal too. I’m really not sure about that appointment, I don’t think he has the profile, experience, or the winning mentality for that job. That’s a high pressure job and he hasn’t faced anything like that ever in his career. I’m not sure he’s the man I’d want in charge of a squad rebuild either. Interesting to see how it goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I share your thoughts on Howe. I feel he might end up one of those who suited a particular club and may struggle to replicate his success elsewhere. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburghowl Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 That‘s Hearts confirmed champions now after today’s results with Dundee and Raith both failing to win.

Back where we belong now I have to say the way you guys were treated was shameful But at least the sabbatical was a fan-free season so in some ways you'll be going back to games same as it ever was Congratulations 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburghowl Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 The Eddie Howe to Celtic saga is an interesting one. Refusing to take charge til the summer and not confirming anything. It appears like he might be playing them and waiting for a Premiership job. I don’t know why Celtic are even considering that acceptable. He’s a bang average manager and them being held on like that for someone like him is hugely embarrassing for them. I’m surprised they haven’t told him to take a hike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburghowl Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Sounds like Hearts, Hibs, and Aberdeen are going to torpedo Celtic and Rangers plans for the Colts teams in the lower leagues. Good news for the Scottish game this as it only serves to benefit them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night King Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Absolutely outstanding refereeing In the old firm game. Played a great advantage and 100% the right decision to show a second yellow. Brainless from Mcgreggor. 1-1 now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see their highlights posted on the SPFL youtube channel and they play their games at Tynecastle behind closed doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The behind closed doors thing is probably due to that bug that’s been going about this last 15 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m surprised they haven’t told him to take a hike. For me him and Sean Dyche are exactly the same - get linked with top vacancies, or jobs at ' big clubs' by the media, and there is absolutely no evidence to support why they should be considered. Both have just kept their sides in the Premier League, the only reason they are bigged up, or in Howes case , finally failed in that. Neither have a record of reputation of dealing with big names, neither played the game to a decent standard so haven't got that gravitas, and the transfer record of both leaves a lot to be desired. I sometimes wonder if it's simply because they are English, and there hasn't been a decent English manager for a long time. Howe has even been mentioned as a future England manager , which is bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Dyche's achievements are greater than Howe's, but even then I suspect he fits a certain kind of club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see what he could do with a decent sized club and the budget that goes with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it's confirmed that Hodgson is leaving, that'll be one to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does well at Palace, he can step up again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
