I'd take a look at getting Andy Irving on loan from West Ham. 24 year old Scottish Centre Mid.

Currently back on loan to Austria Klagenfurt in the Austrian Bundesliga. Whom, West Ham signed him from for 1.5M in the final day of the 2023 Summer Window. He has 6 goals and 9 assists this season and the team are in the hunt for a Euro place.

Played 18 games for Hearts in the Premiership when he was a kid (the Covid season), a lot of experience and football played for a 24 year old.

Versatile too. Can play DCM, attacking mid, left wing, right wing, has even played up front.
 

Scored a hat-trick tonight against league leaders, Red Bull Salzburg. His team were 2-0 down and won 4-3.

His loan ends on June 30th.

Go and get him Utd.

Some of that is fair enough.  The issue for me with Goodwin is that the football was painful and he didn't seem to have any plan beyond the plan in games that weren't going his way.  In the end he stumbled across a solution due to injuries.  Granted, beyond the League Cup debacle we actually started the season well.  The plan worked.  By the time we got to the third round of games and had a few injuries the plan had been sussed by any decent opposition manager (even McPake!) and we suffered.  That coupled with the capitulation at the end of last season has me doubting whether Goodwin has the ability to get the players playing the 2 or 3 different systems that he is going to need to survive in the Prem (and may need to adopt more than one system within the 90 minutes of a game to survive.  

That said, I think the revisionist view (which is forget about the abject failings and concentrate on the fact we won the league) will prevail due to the ownership situation and the lack of funds which will mean Jim starts the season as boss.  It is relevant to out of contract players as there is no point in thinking about them if the manager's position is in question (which it clearly should be).

I'm not a revisionist Finn. You won't find a post from me on this board or anywhere else that says I think we should get rid of Goodwin, and now I've changed my mind because we got promoted. I only had one moment of doubt about 6 weeks ago after the Dunfermline game and I said that I did not think this squad had the dig to go up. We've won every game since. I have always felt that Goodwin has done enough positive things since he came in to outweigh the negatives, the most important of which was to tell Ogren that he wanted complete control over the playing side and to ditch all the charlatans who were bleeding us dry. He got rid of Mulgrew, took a different approach with Watt (which seems to be paying off), immediately addressed
