loveofthegame Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Goncalves, Hughes, Smith, Lafferty are all Cathro/Macphee signings. Berra, Smith-Brown, Grzelak, Stockton more questionable. But hardly being completely undermined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauld Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Fair opinion. Personally I'd have preferred us to play that more direct game. So if we have the players to play direct then let's do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to indicate Levein is too involved, and stimulate that pressure. Hearts should come out and tell him to shut the **** up and focus on his own team, mentioning the antics of his fans/the boards decision to not take away tickets for a champions league match.

But hardly being completely undermined. Does Cathro/Macphee count as Cathro though? One thing Stands out is the part that was mentioned that Cathro wanted to play football, then why no midfielders? Why defenders who's first job is to defend and not known for footballing skills and why two big laddies up top giving the defence the easy option to lump it? Talks a good game does Cathro but little backs up what he talks and that included the signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboJen Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Same old nonsense. Martin and Tziolis can be added to the list of certain Cathro/MacPhee signings. For whatever reason, Cathro just couldn't get the team to replicate the stuff he wanted in a match, but they were largely his (identified) players and all will have been agreed by him even if he wasn't the one to find them.

Glottis Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 What style did Cathro even want to play? That was part of the problem. Rodgers should stick to making bullshit stories about make believe fans and perving at wee dirties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldar Hadzimehmedovic Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I can't help myself quite liking him. He's a good coach with a good record everywhere he's been. He's at it with this who signs the players crap though. His last three jobs have been Swansea, Liverpool and Celtic. At all three the manager hasn't had transfer autonomy for years.

Arnaud Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 To be honest he makes a pretty valid point. Although if correct, does point to MacPhee / Levein signings rather than just Levein on his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillmanHearts Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Here we go ! An entirely different perspective on Ian Cathrow from Scottish Fitbaw is about hit us ! He couldnae buy an ally out there while he was here - but now he's sacked it will all be about " shame for the lad", "obvious talent", "misunderstood at Hearts" , "not given time" etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what Celtic would do if we were asked about their recruitment or current management structure? You would think the answer would be a polite and firm rebuttal of the line of questioning. Its another reason why I want someone appointed who hasn't been influenced by the Old Firm and someone who is skilled in handling the media.

Levein. In a sense by questioning Levein, he's simply underlining his qualities. And that's the only time you'll see me defend CL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haken Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I don't mind Rogers bug he should stf up about Hearts and maybe worry a wee bit more about his own club with its paramilitary displays and singing about a soldier decapitated in the street.

gorgie rd eh11 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 We should have stuck with Cathro as we're only here to lie down to Celtic and make life easy for Brendan. I wonder what his thoughts are on his board sacking his predecessor after taking the team to successive titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avhudtheteeshirt Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Brendan spouts about another team manager, its all a smokescreen to cover up their own problems with the green army! Though I was in the Cathro camp, when he was sacked it was reported in the press that Budge was worried about cancelling of FOH subsciptions. That made it a very sad bit of reading, but it shows fans can create problems in a club if things are not going well. I pity the next manager, he will start with a monkey on his back, and heaven help him if he has a bad start to his tenure!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
