jambothommo Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Pure speculation on my part of course. I sense the discussion began around whether IC should go immediately or whether he be given X games in the League to turn it round at the eleventh hour. I sense CL would be for the latter, especially as there is no plan B in place, the Board having perhaps earlier agreed to revisit pre Jan shut. But the entirely unexpected League Cup exit and unanimous and vicious reaction from the terracing and in print changes things. Budge may have said action must be taken now. And that if CL doesn't have a proposal on how to run the team in the meantime he has 48 hours to develop a plan. Standing by for his proposal. Could be anything from his resignation to him getting the tracksuit on. Tough for him because he doesn't like authority but he may salvage some pride and face by getting back in the dugout and turning it round. Fascinating. Hold your breath.

Cheile Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Perhaps the decision to sack Cathro was a given and preliminary steps have been taken to appoint a replacement hence the delay between the board meeting and today's announcement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that they called Cathro in and gave him an ultimatum that if he couldn't sing "Frozen" to the Board's satisfaction then he wouldn't be kept on any longer. Cathro confused the tune at first and then stumbled over the words, not helped by Levein who was tapping a rather dodgy rhythm out on the boardroom table top, and so the decision was made to terminate his employment with immediate effect. And this has just as much likelihood as your version. We don't know. It doesn't matter anyway. Let's try and deal with the facts rather than coming up with meaningless conjecture, eh?

Bazzas right boot Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I think They fired up the cauldron, threw in eye of newt, 6 spider legs, dragon glass, blood of a hibby ,a pint of piss and a can of Barr's cola, then chanted the magic words before asking the Football god what to do. In the smoke, they were told to sack Cathro. They then sacrified a goat from Gorgie farm as a thank you, before heading to nandos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Section Q Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I'm thankful for Budge lending the money to help save us, but I don't think she knows much about running a football club, and if she did she wouldn't want or need Levein. Not sure where all this will end but I hope we have a very clear and transparent model in place when FoH eventually takes over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsalldothebeattie Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 All we need to know that happened was Cathro's future was discussed it was decided he wasn't the man to take us forward so he was removed from his position as Head Coach and we now look for a new man to take us forward Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Kaiser Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I fairly confident this happened in the board meeting. "Come in Craig and have a seat. So we need to discuss the results and how we move forward" "What's your feelings?" "Maybe we should sack Ian?" "Maybe" "Ok..I'll tell him tomorrow......you see Game of thrones last night?" "Nah not yet. Got it saved though. I was at the cinema" "What you see?" "Baby Driver" "Is that the one with Kevin Spacey?" "Yeah, I liked it...good soundtrack as well....wanna fool around?" "Not just now Craig" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy T Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I believe the Wolves thing has been a possibility for a while. When the league cup fiasco unfolded Hearts and Wolves were in discussion.

Some take offence. Thanks for the vote of confidence ( maybe that happened at the board meeting...). however, compared to some posters on here, big D Trumpy has perspective!
