BobbyJenkins Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Levein is fast becoming as big an obstacle to progress as both Robinson and Romanov, towards the end of their tenures. If Levein is allowed to appoint a yes man that he can work from the back, then it really will be a massive slap in the face for the fans. It will also make the whole recruitment process a farce. Levein has presided over 2 horrendous pre-seasons, last year he admitted that the pre-euro preparations were wrong and this season it is claimed the players are not fit enough. He also oversaw some terrible signings such as Oshaniwa and Kenny Anderson, made a huge mistake in appointing Cathro and has allowed the midfield and GK problems to go unresolved. Can any of his supporters please confirm what it is he brings to the club??? Is he, says who, you? Evidence he works the managers from the back, Neilson? You have no idea what Levein does at the club so why dont you tell me what he doesnt do that is required of a director of football? Other than shite printed in newspapers and spewed from the mouths of those who hate Levein no matter what he does. Manager surely responsible for pre-seasopn and fitness? As far as I can tell most of leveins work has been restructuring the youths etc. Neilson was a successful appointment, so hes got 50% success rate on that front. In short, belt up.

Dallas Green Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 At first I wasn't keen on SP at all but if he is appointed I'd get right behind him. Who ever is appointed I want to do well. They are gonna need the support behind them. I'm hoping Freedman gets the job though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amadjambo Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 His overall stats are not much different than freedman! He knows hearts well and knows levein. Was our best captain In recent times A cup winner with us Lafferty's scoring record at club level was not great either and bet you wanted him Freedman was managing at a higher level, but he's not my choice anyway. Presley's record is terrible, both in Scotland and in England. Not sure what relevance Lafferty has to this discussion. You do realise that his job involves so much more than just scoring, as was clearly demonstrated on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Boy Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Levein now being compared to Vlad..... This place has lost it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It's crazy. I remember when Budge took over and brought Levein in. We suddenly had a stable structure again, and almost everyone could see the sense in it. Then, as we skooshed the Championship, Hibs supporters were desperate to try and cause some disruption to our recovery and good press, so they trotted out the "puppet" and "Dictator of football" shite. Then when the Rangers fans got all bitter about us recovering, they joined in along with the ones who had columns in newspapers. Now however, we have a fanbase so utterly weak minded and easily led, that they merrily join in with the opposition by trying cause division at the club with 'Vlad Flu and the Fax Machine - the remix 2017 version'. Sad what we have become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomaso does like to have a pop at Mr Levein occasionally. But on this occasion it's pretty obvious he's right. Ann Budge is highly involved in the picking of our next coach and the final decision will ultimately be hers. No saying he won't have had an input but it will be nowhere near the input he had with Cathro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five to One Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I think Budge might be banking on Freedman doing a McInness - fairly ordinary results in England, but could be successful up here. Similar age with a bit of experience and can work with younger players. Would have preferred O'Neill, Wright or Sergio, but be happy to support Freedman.

hearts00 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I personally think time is of the essence. One thing not mentioned in this thread is we desperately need to sign midfielders. The longer the search for new head coach goes on the less likely that becomes. I'd hate us to go past the closing of the transfer window with that midfield...brutal.

michael_bolton Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Freedman and Elvis would both be reasonable appointments. Both have patchy records, but both have also had very useful experience. Elvis knows the club well and knows Scottish football well. He's also worked in great adversity at Coventry, where he actually did a pretty good job for a while in the circumstances. Freedman has a managerial career highlighted by two good runs, in reality. But again, his experience would probably make him a decent appointment for the club. Either would be fine, really. There's not much to choose between them as candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
