Jamhammer Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Was that when he said it would bring stability by smooth transition when the young head coach moved on? That's worked well!!!But the head coach he appointed didn't come from within the system in place. No way ITK but a couple of guys I know who are say there are some very good coaches at most levels at the club just now. They are the head coaches of the future Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Kilpatrick Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 So the boy didn't understand that you may have to defend cross balls and high balls in Scotland. what an absolutely unbelievable interview that was from levein.. Out of his depth.. Both of them need to go.. An absolute cluster**** of an appointment and levein should carry the can for it A great coach who doesn't understand other team's tactics!

Essentially Cathro's intransigence and Levein's incompetence made us endure 5 wins in 26 games. What's going on here... Total clearout of management requirement now.

Debut 4 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 And don't forget he has a sidekick who's job it is to analyse the other teams tacticsEven at that does Hughes, Nowak etc...not know how to deal with high or long balls? I think Hughes has been in the game long enough! And even if you knew you were playing a team that got wide constantly and liked to whip in crosses, is it not just a basic for full backs to close down quicker and central defenders to, well, defend the ball coming in anyway? All basics for me but the point you could make is try signing players that can defend first and foremost ...full backs included! Sign and play good defenders in defence instead of midfielders and you won't have to tell them how to do their jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Tad disappointing" finishing 12 points behind St Johnstone is another cracker. I was highly critical last season of Levein/Cathro but I was holding onto a miracle this pre season that everything would come good. The Walker news and this whole Levein interview has left me quite stunned tbh. Failing seems to be now be accepted at HMFC as does woeful transfer windows and hiring people who clearly dont know the first thing about Scottish football. I think we could be in for a seriously tough season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bauld willie Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 indeed,heard that on talkshit earlier today........cathro`s contract,whats the details on that and could he be prised away? As ridiculous as this sounds, this is another fundamental flaw of the managerial apprentice scheme Levein is operating. Assuming we evey get a decent one, our new manager will move on to bigger and better things at a time of his choosing, not ours. The DOF role is supposed to be a transition between managerial changes, yet it was an abject failure this time and will be exactly the same again . Cathro just didn't get it on his arrival and he was so dogmatic over his own style of play, he refused to compromise. We subsequently went on our worst run ever. It is Levein who compromised the style of football of the club to suit Cathro in the end, so where is the continuity. Even if you promote a manager from within, it does not mean that person can't have their own ideas and philosophies and want to change things once in power. Trainee managers is just a ridiculous concept and one designed to perpetuate the employment of our DOF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i8hibsh Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Not sure why anything would change since our last game. Maybe the fact we haven't lost in a while? He has everything to prove, literally everything. I will back him and want him to be a success but he really is up against it. Hopefully the players will turn up for him, the badge and the fans this season as that was the biggest, sorriest group of wasters I have ever witnessed who disgraced our club last year. Although it was Cathro's job to get the best out of them they really did him no favours at all. I want nothing but misfortune and failure for mostly every single player who has since left the club (Struna, Sowah etc)., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mdoug79 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Cathro and McPhee will get it right, Last season was a case of panic buying gone wrong. The signings so far seem of a far better standard than we have had and a full preseason for them to put forward the ideas, plans and tactics they believe in and enough time to get the players to buy into it. Cathro and McPhee's Hearts team will play different to any Hearts team we have seen in a long time and i take my hat off to them, our DOF and Queen Ann for trying something different. Scottish fottball hasnt changed in years......the same roundabout of managers jumping from 1 club to another on the hope of a cup final and maybe 3rd place. Our club are building from the bottom and are trying a different approach that the dinosaurs of Scottish Football cannot accept and feel they have to ridicule our staff at any sign of failure. Our club is in fantastic condition, the best its ever been with Hearts people in charge. We the fans have to do our bit and support what they are trying from start to finish. Turning on them if a few results at the start of the season go against us will only fuel the fire. Lets get behind them and do our bit.

It's not the wrong players, it's the wrong manager and dof. We've actually weakened our central midfield from last year. It's mind boggling that key area of the field hasn't been addressed.

OTT Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Really don't think collectively piling pressure on him going into the coming season is going to help.

Where are the 6 points coming from? We are struggling at places like Elgin and Peterhead ffs. Nobody in the team is scoring goals other than Lafferty. We have a donkey in our sticks. No pace or quality in midfield. 2 of our 3 main guys at the back are not yet fit and able to play each game. Etc etc. If we manage 4 points it will be a minor miracle and that looks a long shot to me given how dreadful we have been on the road for months now.
