Steven Naismith celebrates his one-year anniversary as Hearts boss, proving the benefits of stability with impressive results. Despite a rocky start, Naismith has won 14 out of the last 19 games, securing a third-place finish and a Scottish Cup semi-final spot.
Steven Naismith anniversary as Hearts boss passed unnoticed on Thursday, perhaps because many people didn’t think he would stay in the job long enough to celebrate it.
He said: “Naisy has done a great job. He had a sticky start until he got his philosophy across but credit to Hearts for sticking with him. “Hearts fans have put a phenomenal amount of money into their club and James Anderson has helped out financially as well. It has allowed Steven to flourish. Going into a stable club with genuine potential has given him that foundation.”
“Whereas the chance of success with Yan Dhanda is a lot higher than someone from the second tier in Belgium or Switzerland because he has already shown he can do it here. So why wouldn’t you sign someone who has proved himself in Scotland? Players who already know the demands of this league improve your chances of enhancing your squad.
