grizzlyg Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 I think he will stay but would be a blow if he left, I know there are folk that would be glad to see him go but all I can say is be careful what you wish for. Could get Magoo back for a 3rd term!!!....just kidding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes a dead cert ......or so he thinks. To be fair that's probably what Levein told them as well at his interview, Jack Ross is the man, get your cash on it.

Big Stall Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 I would be quite disappointed to lose him at this stage. Last January after that cup exit I was ready to drive him to the airport myself, but the way he changed the tactics and kicked on, has then built another new team and has us up at the top end of the table, despite some obvious deficiencies on the park, its been quite impressive. I think there is much more to come from this team and if we can get Turnbull back (playing for us) I expect the team to really kick into gear in the new year. A new manager might not get that.......

Afford better than a Manager that has taken a low budget side to 2 cup finals and currently has them sitting them in 3rd place in table. Right on Robinson would be an excellent appointment for Hearts and imagine what he could do with a bigger budget. Hopefully they will look at other options or Robinson will stay in the hope of getting a gig down south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn_Broomfield Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 I'd be very surprised if Hearts were able to afford Robbo if I'm being honest. They aren't awash with cash at present thanks in part to infrastructure projects and mainly a fucking wild transfer policy that sees them spunk most of their budget on utter shite. Would Robbo even fancy the job? A major rebuild both on and off the park, with the current owner due to leave within 18 months, may not be that attractive a prospect from a football side. They can offer a good bit more in cash salary wise though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilwell86 Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Robinson has always said he will repay loyalty with loyalty, I don't think he would jump ship half way through the season in the position we are in. He knows he has a good gig at motherwell, after his last dodgy spell at oldham I reckon he will pick and choose his move more wisely.

That's my feeling as well, why swap a club with a developing young team currently 3rd in the league, building for a European return . To get involved in a relegation fight, with half of the team out injured long term, questions over what cash is available, and that fud Levein lurking about in the background .

Cedric Silkyshag Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Budge: "I see this as a club which can challenge for trophies". Robinson: "Next season's Tunnock's Cup doesn't count." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 9 hours ago, weeyin said: No disrespect to Robinson, but Hearts can afford better and will likely go for "a name". Agree. Suspect Hearts would be something of a poisoned chalice for Robinson. I'm happy enough with him at the moment as our manager but when you boil it down to the facts he's not shown the level of managerial ability that suggests he could go to a much bigger club, with much more pressure, much more media focus, much more expectation and turn them round from a historic low ebb. It's taken him two and half seasons to make us look like we might finish Top 6 (and there is still a LOT of the season to go and things could change radically) and he's just not going to get that time at Hearts. And if you look at Hearts they have pretty much chewed and spat out managers over the last 10 years. Outside of Levein, who got 3 years, they have gone through 7 other managers in 7 years. Of course it could be that Robinson is a better manager now than when he came to the club. He certainly seems to have altered his footballing philosophy but if I was at Hearts looking for a manager I'd be looking for someone who'd had sustained success and right now Robinson's highs have been flash in the pan. 3rd at this stage is fine but the league season is only 25% done and Levein had Hearts top at this stage last season to illustrate how misleading that can be. Jack Ross seems like a better fit for them. Big club experience and had that rapid turn around at St. Mirren where they went from bottom of the Championship to league winners in a short time.

Kmcalpin Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Hearts can well afford to take SR if they want. A "low 6 figure fee" will present no obstacle to them. Robinson could quadruple his salary at Tynecastle without doubt. The question for me is whether he would want the job in a basket case of a club. He might be tempted by the riches on offer, he might not, time will tell. If they want to secure someone by the middle of next week then the recruitment process must be well underway. IF he is on their wanted list then they will almost certainly have spoken to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texanwellfan Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 I’d like to see the club address this very quickly so they can quickly issue a statement one way or the other. Can be unsettling when things like this drag on. Perhaps they have a clause in his contract about only letting him leave mid contract for a team outside of SPFL? Doubt it but it would be a good clause to have in any manager's contract we have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
