Andy Halliday believes the managerial musical chairs playing out in the Premiership has allowed Hearts to steal a march on the likes of Motherwell and Aberdeen.
The Tynecastle midfielder insists the statistic that half of all clubs in the league have triggered a change in their dugout over the last 12 months is a sign of disruption that never breeds success. A sign of the calm in Gorgie has been underlined by boss Robbie Neilson being one of the league’s longest-serving gaffers, having been in post for three seasons.
Halliday admits it’s a far cry from the carnage of the recent past. He said: “Stability is massive in football. The gaffer has signed the majority of players in the squad and a big part of the reason they have come here is for the club and the ambitions that the manager has set out. I’m 31 now and I don’t think I’ve had a longer-serving manager, maybe him and Steven Gerrard roughly about the same time.
