Silvery_Moon Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Should have gone after the Easter Road debacle. It was clear he didn't have what it takes to manage Heart of Midlothian. Having survived that he should certainly have walked (or been shoved) after the last home game of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I have been a no since the weaknesses he displays started and became obvious, about two games into his tenancy. Time is one thing I have quite a lot of on a daily basis, I fill a considerable amount of this time watching a variety of sports. I have opined before that Cathro lost the dressing room some time ago, the Hibs game was the one that proved this. Professionals not trying a leg, no self pride, and no effort, classic symptoms of the dressing room lost malaise. Why?, I believe that his lack of background in the game is one thing, difficult for experienced reasonably successful older players to accept this. No counselling by older players required the youngsters see the attitude of the older more experienced men, and follow their example accordingly. Who is responsible, I would suggest management, and I mean by that Ms Budge and Levein. Failure to take the required action is unfair to supporters, players and staff, it is equally unfair to Ian Cathro, the longer this is allowed to go on the more sullied his reputation will become, and his ability to find future employment may be marginalised. If he were allowed to go now, or indeed told to go now, there may be a team better placed and suited to offer him an opportunity to gain further experience, and possibly have the opportunity to test some of his theories in a less stressful environment. Unfortunately if something does not happen he can become a pariah that no one will touch. I am primarily a hockey fan, and losing the dressing room is a fairly common syndrome, generally the coach is promptly fired, and as in many cases learns from the experience and has a succesful career in the future. I would wish the same for this young man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statto Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 It's getting harder to defend Cathro, results are not going the way we would have hoped. I think he will be here at least until the Winter break, if results don't come in the first 15-20 games, I do think the board will take that decision to let him go. I hope it doesn't come to that because it means Hearts would have been losing games, if he stays, it means we've been winning and will be in a position to challenge. I get behind whatever players are on the pitch and whatever manager is the current Hearts manager. I'm not wasting energy yelling abuse towards our own team at games, it sounds ridiculous when you say it, I'd rather encourage the team to do better and be positive towards our own team, but I do understand some fans need to release frustrations and this is a way for them to do it. If I was to make a prediction, I don't think Cathro will be able to turn things round, but I'll support him for as long as he is Hearts manager.

1953 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Just changed my vote to go. I was always giving him the summer and the start of the season but today was the last straw, out thought and out played by Dunfermline when we knew what we had to do to qualify. I went today thinking that as it's a must win game we will surely turn it on and get the win but it was just another damp squib. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mollo Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Staggered that he didn't go right after the final whistle. Incredible. It's 8 wins in 30 games or something similar? We are genuinely only able to perform at mid-division 2 level. Not sometimes, not on a bad day The height of his ability is to have us playing as we are.

Hearts_fan Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Cathro has had his chances. However, instead of turning it around, he has turned our team into spineless, relegation material.

Independence Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I also want to know what makes Cathro so special that at such a young age with no managerial experience and have never played the game professionally was given the hot seat at a club like Hearts.

amadjambo Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 I think he'll be given until the winter break.

Even if were to scrape the odd win we are only going downhill with IC around. After the first round of fixtures I can see us having anywhere from 3-9 points. That could see us rooted to the bottom very early on. As we know from the relegation season, once the confidence evaporates and the pressure builds, points become even more scarce.
