serious question. by who?

SkyblueBazza · Nov 25, 2013

If that is true...I hope it's not a case of "There endeth the..." academy pipeline

Tonylinc · Nov 25, 2013

I sincerely hope that this is not true. If it however then I can see big problems with SP unless of course he has his own man lined up.

Unless SP is the one who insisted they go?

Nick · Nov 25, 2013

Would they be pushed? I hope it isn't true but look forward to hearing the reasoning and what has happened.

If they have been snapped up by a Prem Team I can sort of understand, if they have been pushed for no reason....

ajsccfc · Nov 25, 2013

Someone was saying here the other day that we had a new youth development guy come in already? I can't remember exactly who or when, but they were pre-empting a possible Rioch exit.

Delboycov · Nov 25, 2013

From the outside it appears Rioch at least has done a great job so can't see this being anything other than bad news...

This from.a good source CJ?

This was the thread, wingy called it a week ago - http://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/39050-From-the-rumour-mill?p=587859&highlight=rioch#post587859

Second post mentions Pressley bringing in a Hearts youth guy, anyone know any more about that?

valiant15 · Nov 25, 2013

Pressley would be a fool to want to replace those 2? They've done a fantastic job.

pusbccfc · Nov 25, 2013

Rioch has done a sterling job.

ArchieLittle · Nov 25, 2013

Shame if true. The current success of the academy very much down to Rioch who as achieved so much under very difficult circumstances.

Is it a coincidence that Pressley appointed Darren Murray from Hearts on the 9th October

shmmeee · Nov 25, 2013

First misstep from Pressley if it's his decision IMO. Rioch has done wonders.

percy · Nov 25, 2013

hope its not true but if it is, the new fella is gonna be stepping in some big shoes. rioch has done an amazing job

SlowerThanPlatt · Nov 25, 2013

Bad news if true. He done a good job.

Yes very. As far as I know Richard Stevens is staying on as second in command.

The whole situation at the club must be very unsettling.. I am surprised more haven't left.

Could this be partially to do with all the farting around about the return to the Higgs Centre, maybe there will not be a cat 2 academy next year?

I was in Edinburgh week before last and talking to a workmate who is the font of all knowledge on Hearts, She was so p*ssed off that we has "stolen" Murray and said it is a bigger loss than any player they have lost in many years. She is convinced we will be signing up the cream of Scottish youth players over the next few years.

sky blue john · Nov 25, 2013

Obviously Im disappointed they were the only constant in this whole mess !!!
Lets wait to see the facts before we jump to conclusions.

No as we have just employed Darren Murray.

Darren Murray by all accounts.

Misstep? perhaps, perhaps not. Perhaps Rioch had taken us as far as he could go....

Its like the prgression of the English Cricket team. When Fletcher with Hussain as captain took over we were a pretty poor outfit, they got us playing a different way, improved the professionalism, made us harder to beat, bought in a new attitude but we still were not amongst the Elite. Vaughan took over as captain and gave us a bit more on the field, results continually improved and we won the Ashes in 05, Since then, despite some blips we have remained near the top of all forms of the game and gone on to be very successful. Hopefully this Murray can go on to do a similar job.

Was the Murray move mentioned much here? I had no idea of it until that rumour thread last week about Rioch.

It was on the official site and also back page of the Telegraph IIRC.

italiahorse · Nov 25, 2013

Why change a winning format?

letsallsingtogether · Nov 25, 2013

maybe joy thought his real name was Ricoh.

Shame ether way maybe the end of our youth team as we know it (could it get better?)

Wasn't "the bomb squad" his 1st mistake by popular consensus ?

Good call- we(most) lacked the benefit of hindsight, one of the most apparent human failings, whereas Mr Pressley had the rare commodity of the courage of foresight.

ccfcway · Nov 25, 2013

Murray is very highly rated. The only concern I would have with this is if / when Pressley leaves. I say fair play to Pressley, he know who he wants around him and isn't afraid to make tough decisions.

I know nothing about him. Who highly rates him exactly...other than the obvious SP?
What credentials has he got?
