Little General 80 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 http://sport.stv.tv/football/scottish-premier/hearts/264580-jim-jefferies-and-billy-brown-sacked-by-hearts/ STV understands Hearts manager Jim Jefferies and his assistant Billy Brown have been removed from their positions, with Jefferies being offered an upstairs role at Tynecastle. It is also understood Gary Locke, the club's current first team coach, has been offered the manager's post on an interim basis. Jefferies has been offered a role as director of football with the club but STV understands the 60-year-old is not interested in the post and will decline. Hearts are currently on a run of 10 games without a win, having picked up their last victory on March 19 against St Mirren in a 3-2 win. In Jefferies' second spell in charge, he has taken control of 61 games, winning 25. Jefferies and Brown have worked permanently together since taking their first job at Berwick Rangers in 1988, followed by moves to Falkirk in 1990 and then Hearts in 1995. Bradford City came calling in 2000 to take the duo to the English Premier League, a job which ended in their sackings, before they were appointed at Kilmarnock in 2002. mad vlad strikes again:surprised: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dutchy Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I suppose Jeffries did fail when you consider they were spliting the OF at one point then fell and fell behind so much they didn't have a chance. And for all intents and purposes, Vlad wasn't, opnely at least, interferring in team decisions. If there was any doubt before, it can now be dispelled completely. The title is between Rangers and the mhanks. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
