Hard to judge Ross at all yet. I like what I hear in the interviews/podcasts. He's also got a very new young team to bring on
-
He can pish up the wall higher than any of the first team squad. Now that is really impressive .
-
Yes I like it as well
-
What has Maurice Ross done at Fir Park that makes you say "Been very impressed.........."?
-
Really like the look of that.
-
I ’m still fond of our 70s Admiral era. I designed this several years ago as a homage to that time.

Of the two I think Robinson would be more likely to consider Hibs given the Dempster connection. He would be crazy to go to Hearts where Director of Football Levein would oversee every move he made and ensure Robinson carry the can for poor returns or transfer failings. He likes a scapegoat does Craig. Remember how he destroyed Cathro and called his signings not good enough for a team like Hearts, only for it later to come out that Levein had brought many of those signings in against Cathro’s wishes. Robinson needs autonomy and a strong and trusting relationship with his bosses. I’m not sure he would get that under Budge and Levein. But if Levein was to be sacked entirely after a derby defeat this weekend.............. and Budge acts to placate the fans...... Other than salary and transfer budget it would be a huge risk to go to to either of those clubs given their current problems. Hardly security for life. Better to hold off for a decent English Championship or Division One side where his long term future might a bit more secure and rewarding. He’ll stay with us for now.
-
I didn't even consider that a possibility. Regardless of is he's sacked or leaves by 'mutual consent' I'd think that his credibility as footballing director would be completely undermined. That said, now that you mention it, it's such a weird setup they have there that it wouldn't surprise me.

Annoyed we didnt manage to cash in on Hastie to a level we all want but fair play to the boy if he has backed himself, earns a wedge and does well. Wee while to go yet to prove he will do well but the more Motherwell youth players who do well the better in my eyes. Albeit I dont want to lose everyone for the minimum compo!
-
I think the perceived hope that Hastie fails has to do with the team he joined and the fact that both he and Cadden have left, seem to be doing well, and we have yet to receive a red cent in terms of development fees and or compensation. Cannot really blame individuals for having such thoughts in such circumstances.

A lot of Nike teams seem to be going for retro nineties kits, spurs and PSG were two I saw tonight. Only ‘well kit of that era I could see being resurrected is the flouro yellow away....
-
I’m thinking our blue kit may be due for a revival next season (I know it divides opinion). In recent seasons we’ve had a claret and a white away and we do like to switch it up every now and then. Design wise we have become very Roma in our approach to shirt design. This season Roma have revived their blue kit from years ago as a third option utilising claret/amber trims. Here is a relatively simple design I created around 5 years ago that adopts a similar approach.
-
I think the general point was that he'd do better in our first team (or an English lower league's first team) than warming Ranger's bench. And so far that is proving to be true. If Rangers follow their usual path with youngsters and move him on after 2 seasons, then he'd have been just as well signing for Rotherham. All that said, another good advert for the quality of youngster we develop. Most teams seem impressed by the professionalism of players they get from us.

Levein gets the dreaded vote of confidence... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49738583

I had a feeling it was you guys as a few of my mates were saying a couple of guys were there with Motherwell scarves. Never noticed you as my head is absolutely up my backside today. We all thought there would be a decent turnout but I wasn’t expecting 400+. A fitting send off for the big man. I’ll be there on Saturday. The big man wouldn’t let me have it any other way.

Hi Fraser. Peter and I were at the crematorium to pay respects to your Dad this morning. You wouldn't notice us in the crowd - great turn out. He was clearly a lovely man. Deepest condolences again to you, your Mum and sister. We will be there on Saturday for you if you can make it.

From a thread on the Rotherham fan forum. Early days but it appears Hastie has been well accepted. He was also praised by Gerard for his application, attitude and willingness to learn.....even if it meant a loan placement.. Certainly all positive so far and it seems he is forging ahead. Time will tell but it certainly does not look like a career wasted because of his decision to join Rangers. Jake Hastie

It's not uncommon that when a support have become disillusioned and vocal about a manager and his style of play that the recruiting club goes for almost the exact opposite in style so as to distance themselves from the previous incumbent and as an attempt to appease. Whether he delivered it at Dundee is up for debate but in the mind of Neil McCann and many a sycophantic Scottish football journalist the free-flowing attacking football his sides apparently deliver might not be unattractive to a Hearts board looking for something visibly different to Levein's style.
-
Talk on some of the Hearts forums that Neil McCann is their new manager. Feckin hope it’s true
-
Hoping he stays a while longer also, think he is doing an excellent job when you consider he has to rebuild every summer. Wont be surprised if one of the Edinburgh clubs did make a move.
-
Big city club and three times the wages ?
-
I was also surprised at how the Hearts TV commentators were. Were actually decent to listen to, instead of the bias of say Celtic or Rangers TV commentators
-
I'd be disappointed but not surprised if Robbo ended up at Hearts or Hibs. If it was to happen, we could do a lot worse than consider Maurice Ross as his replacement. Been very impressed by him since he arrived at the club.
-
So Levein is head hunting his replacement while also trying to cling onto the job? Sounds believable.... And now for the weather, after our Indian summer, we’re due the beast from the east 2 and next summer we could have a 2 month heatwave...
-
Why would anyone take the Hearts job with Levein still lurking about as board member and director of football, questioning every decision.
