soonbe110 Posted November 20, 2017 23 minutes ago, Hendricks said: I don't care what plans they had in place for the window or what budget they had in their minds. They simply must increase that given this fixture. Nothing football related at Hearts should take precedence over us being in far better shape by the time that game comes around. At a time they are announcing 'profit' then they should damn well be spending some of it on a few first team STARTERS, not squad fillers. The fans deserve that some immediate attention is paid to the team given all we have done for the club. Losing yet another Scottish Cup tie to them is simply not an option. If that happens they should all be gone the day after. I suspect you would accept relegation as long as we beat Hibs in the cup. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gizmo Posted November 20, 2017 20 minutes ago, Eldar Hadzimehmedovic said: Win-win, really. Either we go through or we go out and it's the end for this management team. Agreed, I think this could turn out to be a defining moment in Levein's second stint in charge. He needs to rekindle his appetite and fight soon, that was what made him relatively decent in charge first time round. A lot of folk won't forgive Neilson for losing to that mob, and I suspect the fans will afford Levein even less lee-way, given he has over-seen everything that has brought us to this point.

Sexton Hardcastle Posted November 20, 2017 Season definer over the next few weeks. Can either kick on and grind out results and win this run of home games getting us in contention for a top 4 finish and a possible cup run. or rather and expected bombed out the cup in a drab and gutless 1-0 defeat and lingering in the bottom sox of the league. up to you craig and players.

soonbe110 Posted November 20, 2017 In reality it’s perfect timing for us. We dont budget for cup runs since Budge took over so the incremental £4-500k of revenue from this game means Levein can accelerate his recruitment plans if the players he wants are available in January. With a bit of luck we will have a seriously improved squad by 19 January who will have played a couple of closed door games in preparation for the cup tie. On the other hand we may have the same squad as today! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hendricks Posted November 20, 2017 For us middle agers its a remarkable run of drawing them. From the 1979 Scottish Cup 1/4 tie (we lost 2-1) we had to wait 15 years for another cup match (the 2-1 Wayne Foster game in 1994). We then went a further 12 years before that glorious Hampden semi-final humping we dished out. A span of 27 years with just 2 cup matches. Since then we have played them in the 2009-10, 2011-12, 2012-13, 2015-16, 2016-17 and now the 2017-18 Scottish Cup and both the 2006-07 and 2013-14 League Cups. 8 times we have been drawn against them in less than a decade. Crazy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sairyinthat Posted November 20, 2017 Not a difficult draw for us,they are pretty poor.My only concern is what player/s get slung their way when they get on the phone to Celtic for the yearly borrowings.We make the right signings in the window and we will nullify that.
