Don't know how you can use a phrase "second to none" to describe someone who has been sacked twice.  I certainly wouldn't be crowing about a double sacking.

By the way, I'm not saying he is a bad manager.  I'm suggesting it is a little premature to be shouting from the rooftops.

 

Have a look at his record in the big games. I'm sure he won at Anfield, twice. Possibly beat Moyes at Old Trafford too. He got average players playing above themselves, and that's great management. Four defeats in a row and your out is probably the average in that league, means nothing. He'll do well but could see us and other teams doing just as well if we go down the same route and think outside the box

We play small and medium games as well as big ones.

He was sacked in each of 2 manager roles.  Why? 

As for thinking outside the box, did we not do that when we appointed Cathro, as opposed to asking others on the managerial merry-go-round?

Our wage bill will be much higher as well and we pay the 4th highest average salary in the SPL compared to killie who pay the 4th lowest in the league

So Hearts fans who have concerns about the manager and his style of football are arseholes???

 

I’ve seen much worse teams and players than we have at the moment. When you watch a team with guys like Denny, Strickland, More and McShane in it, then you’ll know what suffering really is.

 

it doesn’t detract from the fact that we are playing turgid, dire football. We bring in Naismith who everyone thought would be a standout as a striker but we play him in midfield. We bring in wingers, and yet they’re on the bench more often than not. 

 

That shows that as a fan I have right to have concerns about the football being played.

 

Stats don’t lie

 

We have

 

Scored 29 goals in 29 league games

 

Scored more than one goal on 5 occasions in 29 league games - 4 v Celtic, 3 & 2 at Hamilton, 2 in Dingwall and 2 at home v Dundee. 13 goals in 5 games. Which means 16 goals in the remaining 24.

 

We have won 9 games out of 29 in the league

 

if you want to knock off the first 4 games because CL wasn’t in charge

 

Its 8 wins in 25

 

26 goals in 25 games

 

No matter how you look at it, those stats are extremely worrying. For a team that has the 4th biggest budget in the league with 2 guys who should be scoring for fun in this league, it tells me that we play with a safety first tactic. We’d rather draw than lose. I’d rather win 6 and lose 6 than draw 12. For one it gives you more points and it shows you have a positive approach to a game. 

 

I thought after the Celtic win and the decent performance against Dundee the midweek after, that we would kick on, show our intent and go after teams. We have the talent to do it yet instead we go back to the same uninspiring and defensively minded football. 

 

Will I take a boring 1-0 win against them tonight. Yes I would and would be happy with the result. However, it still doesn’t alter my view that with the players we have at our disposal, we should be playing better football than we are. We should be playing football not a containment game. 

 

If we get beat or hammered tonight, am I going to throw my toys out the pram and turn my back on the team, no. I don’t think any Hearts fan would but for fans to call other fans arseholes because they are unhapppy with how the team are playing is pathetic.

 

The one thing that still annoys is that on Sunday we had the chance to get a trip to Hampden and with the draw it could possibly have been two and the chance to make some serious coin from it to help with the playing budget or pitch fund for next season yet we blew it through safety first tactics in the first half because it’s how he sets up. Second half when we gave it a go we were the much better team and probably deserved a replay. If we had gone at them from the start, we’d have won that tie hands down.

 

Goals win games and we don’t score enough of them. The stats don’t lie and the stats we have show we are a defensively minded team.

"Zoomers waiting to stab Levein in the back...."

 

I take it you are talking about fellow Hearts supporters here. 

 

Let me remind you that Levein was not a universally popular appointment and an awful lot of people did not see why someone who experimented on Hearts with a trainee manager, should get another chance to run our team. 

 

Whilst Hearts looked to be turning a corner from this Cathro shambles, most doubters would undoubtedly have come round to accepting his position. After all, we all want Hearts to compete and win trophies. 

 

Reality however,  suggests we are now 6th in the league, out of the cup and our season is dead.

 

Many of us now have serious concerns over coming season ticket sales, which may affect next seasons football budget and it is therefore critical to our future. Getting to Hampden would have helped solve this problem, however Levein's tactics soon put that to bed. Our squad is a shambles and we are now 4 years into this mythical 5 year plan. 

 

This stuff may be difficult for you to understand, but accepting mediocrity will damage our club more in the medium term, than changing our manager and starting afresh in the short term. 

 

Winning tonight would be incredible but it will be absolutely irrelevant if we finish in an unacceptable 6th or 7th at the end of the season. 

 

Ultimately it has to be our league position that determines our managers future. Over 38 games, there can be no hiding place or debate.

The example of Steve Clarke at Kilmarnock shows what can be done with little resources.

Irrespective of what he has achieved in his previous appointments it is this present one that matters and at the moment they are better than Hearts. Unfortunately the table or statistics don't lie. Levein and Cathro before him have conspired to make this job difficult. The performance of Kilmarnock and other smaller sides has shown you don't need large budgets to do well in this league. The smokescreen of funding the building of the main stand should not hinder the building of a competent and attacking Hearts side which can make a challenge in this league. Is the building of a new stand a cover used to mask poor results and a below par season?

Remember this was a team completely in disarray due to the manager we started with.  The losses to Peterhead and Dunfermline were an absolute embarrassment - the former arguably one of the the worst in our history.

But the question has to be asked who signed those players? Who was responsible? Who has left Hearts with one recognised striker, sold the other 2 and sent 2 out on loan? Who plays negative tactics and treats Motherwell as if they were Real Madrid?

Amazing how some fans can get so angry about the fact that some fans don't like CL/didn't want him near the MANAGERS job (what happened to the much vaunted head coach we were supposed to have )?  Actually going by what i read on here there are plenty who are and have been resigned to Hibs finishing higher for some time now.  You sound like a school teacher - "accept it, nothing you can do". well, some people aren't going to accept it - and the Well game is a reason why (for the record, i thought CL should be given a chance to prove himself but 9 league wins and a shit fest at Fir park shows how good he is).  He was regarded by a few on here at his initial appointment as negative and last week proved it beyond doubt - he shat the bed against a pitiful Well side. But for some strange reason there are people on here who are more angry at people having  pointed this  out than the fact we got emptied out of the cup in a season ending game where we surrendered from the kick off. What a strange place this is.  As for the same old few who keep posting the negative stuff - if only CL could deliver something to shut them up.  More  worryingly, when folk on here are quick to say that JKB isn't representative of the general Hearts support  I would say the level of booing I heard on Sunday suggests it isn't a minority who are pissed of at the way things are going. 

 

I agree that CL will be here next season and it's a pity it will probably still be as manager.

Amazing how some fans can get so angry about the fact that some fans don't like CL/didn't want him near the MANAGERS job (what happened to the much vaunted head coach we were supposed to have )?  Actually going by what i read on here there are plenty who are and have been resigned to Hibs finishing higher for some time now.  You sound like a school teacher - "accept it, nothing you can do". well, some people aren't going to accept it - and the Well game is a reason why (for the record, i thought CL should be given a chance to prove himself but 9 league wins and a shit fest at Fir park shows how good he is).  He was regarded by a few on here at his initial appointment as negative and last week proved it beyond doubt - he shat the bed against a pitiful Well side. But for some strange reason there are people on here who are more angry at people having  pointed this  out than the fact we got emptied out of the cup in a season ending game where we surrendered from the kick off. What a strange place this is.  As for the same old few who keep posting the negative stuff - if only CL could deliver something to shut them up.  More  worryingly, when folk on here are quick to say that JKB isn't representative of the general Hearts support  I would say the level of booing I heard on Sunday suggests it isn't a minority who are pissed of at the way things are going. 

 

I agree that CL will be here next season and it's a pity it will probably still be as manager. 

 

This, all day long!!

By Zoomers I mean the same clowns who have been sticking the boot into the club on here since Levein became DOF.

 

Like it or not our budget will be severely restricted regardless with the new pitch and paying off the stand.

 

The basic problem with most of these idiots is they can't accept that Hibs are going to finish above us this season and can't see the bigger picture.  Sacrifices have to be made to pay the bills.

 

I don't accept mediocrity but the Cathro experiment set us back a season or more and it will take us a season to get back to that position let alone progress beyond it.

 

Levein will be here next season, time you just accepted it because there isn't anything you can do about it.

There is something you can do, stay away, don't buy match or season tickets, dont buy club merchandise or contribute to the Foundation.

 

Not actions I personally endorse, but the more people who do, then Budge and Levein might get the message

Indeed, it’s only 7 league wins and two in the cup in 32 games though.

Yes, that’ll help, right enough. It would make most Hibs *****’ day, however.

We could have Dave King in charge and I wouldn't stop supporting Hearts. Each to their own I guess. Even with a bairn in charge  (Cathro) I would still be there. I support Hearts, that never changes.

Thats how it works. I was there at the end of Joe Jordan’s reign, Tommy McLean, Malofeev, McGlynn, Locke... It’s what you do.

Exactly, regardless of whether you agree with what's happening or not you pay your money and support the club. It makes winning something so much more special. I know this after meeting City fans in Manchester. You always know who the lifelong supporters are!

 

You going tonight?

No, unfortunately. My wife is away and I’m looking after our daughter.
