Football is an entertainment businesses. We're not being entertained at the moment. I can't believe that Winkelman is happy with the rapid decline both on and off the pitch. But Neilson was his choice. Which begs the question, who advised him? Anyone with a passing interest in footy could've told you that employing a manager who regularly set Hearts up 5-5-0 would hardly be banging the goals in.
I read in an interview Winkie gave last November where he said something like he would never forgive himself or it would hang over his head for a long time if he got the managerial appointment wrong. Maybe he's just saving face by not acting.
Think most fans know enough of Winkie as a person to know he's likely not very happy at all with results or our style of football a
t the moment. We've seen how passionate he is and also how honest he has been to fans at games, calling results "shit" etc. In fact, I think Winkie is like a lot of us and doesn't promote spin or try and make a turd look shiny.
Neilson was never his first choice. Mitchell was. He just took too fucking long and again had no plan B when plan A went tits. The way that reads to me is saving face. People will be more respectful if you admit you made a mistake and move on. I know I would. The longer you waste coving your mistakes the worse the damage will be.
