Well done for getting Robbie Neilson on the show and full credit to him for coming on for what he would have known was likely to be a tense interview. His lack of defensiveness is so unusual for a football manager. A credit to the two of you for that. Thank you.
In the off season would love to have more behind the scenes interviews about Hearts. For example,
(1) What steps does Joe Savage take to ensure that new players settle into the environment on and off the pitch and integrate with their teammates?
(2) Now that Gary Naismith isn’t in the role how is the well being of players on loan ensured and how is their progress assessed?
Also would love an interview with Stephen Naismith to get his views on the pluses and minuses from last season. Where has he noticed progress?
From Perth in Australia, keep up the great work. It helps me to feel part of the Gorgie faithful from a sunny and almost Covid free distance.
Well haven’t heard the interview to be fair but I’m a bit sick of talk. I was happy enough when Robbie was appointed and we knew he knew the Championship and the teams in there. But the 2 cup exits were one of the lowest points in our history not just last season.
I had high hopes that he could possibly get us turned round but the problem for me is the same attitude of the team appears to still be there. They can perform when bigger games come along but losing the to run of the mill games against lesser clubs with players paid a fraction of ours they know all they have to do is show a bit of fight to beat us. This has been happening for 3 or 4 seasons now when managed by a manager well past his sell by date. My fear is now Robbie has the cup result as a stone round his neck and if thing don’t start well we will in turmoil very quickly with a crowd in attendance. I hope I’m wrong.
