Tasavallan Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Cathro does not help himself with statements like "passive defending" against St Johnstone. I would be more concerned about the "Heart of Midlothian 0" suffix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deejtee Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Was he not well thought off as a coach at Newcastle? Have heard to the contrary but have never quoted this source and still won't but I would be surprised if he ended back there no matter how things turn out here.

Stephen Muddie Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I think Cathro was quite highly thought of in Newcastle as one of the coaching staff and they take him back in September/October.Agree. If he can't turn things around here he'll walk back into a decent backroom role there. I'm not for one second predicting he will turn his awful HMFC record around, but I'm one of the undercover hobos who is prepared to give him that chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bauld willie Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I think the players have to carry the majority if the blame. Technically are they the worst in the league, no way. In terms of effort, passion & application? Yes they are.Cathro can just do no wrong with some. 5 wins in 26 games, just think about that for a while. Season ticket sale collapse.

Silvery_Moon Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 No doubt only losing 2-0 will put The 'Cathro Stay' vote up but be in no doubt we are going nowhere under this guy. He will probably be on a high after today's scoreline and consider it a good result. Nowhere near the standard required for Heart of Midlothian and as the season ticket sales limp along (I am renewing) Ann Budge will finally realise action is required.

Bring Back Paulo Sergio Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 If Cathro showed more tactical awareness throughout the season like he did today he would have a lot more backing him.

allystrachan Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Takes over in second place, ends up as close to the relegated Inverness as we were to 4th place StJohnstone. Terrible run of games.

I'm a supporter of Heart Of Midlothian. Not Ian Cathro Athletic. Through the good times & the bad. Some people can't justify spending hundreds and hundreds of pounds on a group of players that don't give a rats arse, a manager that has no idea what he's doing, a DOF unwilling to accept responsibility, and a "ruthless" owner unwilling to do anything about it. This is on top of FOH contributions, merchandise, food at the game and cost of transport to the game. It's well know that the low quality of Scottish football barely justifies the high ticket prices even at the best of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one will be happier than me, but I've seen nothing to suggest he can turn it around and to be honest he hasn't built up any sort of rapport with the fans.. it's hard to actually like him.. I want someone in that role who knows how hearts play, what OUR style is,who knows what this club is all about and has a bit of gravitas.. someone who knows how we play, hard, neverr bullied, midfielders running from deep,wingers who can beat a man, a cult hero or 2.. not this slow aimless possession which about 3 teams in the world execute well because it relies on a standatd of player we will never have.

JyTees Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 In budgement day it all happened so fast, Locke out, Robbie/Levein in. The players arrived almost instantly which made it obvious they'd been planning it for a while. I suspect that we're about to see that again, as close as Monday / Tuesday next week. Cathro out / new man in who has already been involved in the player recruitment. No chance. He's here for a while yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the club know they've not done well with the recruitment and will make it right in the next couple of months.
