Neil Critchley may have been Steven Gerrard's number two at Liverpool and Aston Villa - but he's nothing like Michael Beale, and that's straight from the horse's mouth.
The former Blackpool and QPR boss is due in Edinburgh on Monday as he gets set to take over at Hearts to replace Steven Naismith.
News of his imminent appointment has been met with a mixed reception from fans, who largely preferred names like Per-Mathias Hogmo, with whom talks collapsed.
Critchley is an experienced coach but his management record, having been sacked from his last two roles out on his own, has worried some fans on social media, fearing he could be a 'Beale 2.0'.
