Mind when we were constantly called big and physical as a jibe, they are the same but it’s called hardworking and effective .

It’s boring eh. Even though Neilson & Cathro have been responsible for our transfers, Levein only gets criticised for the one’s who haven’t worked out....

I am not saying heads must roll. But if Craig delegates responsibility for signing players he remains responsible for the signings made. It is called managememt and goes with being paid as DOF to manage the football side of the business. I really can't get my mind round the idea that Craig is somehow not responsible for our shocking recruitment decisions over several windows.

But this window will be his and his alone so lets see.

Spot on FA. If you are paid as DOF to manage the football side of the  business then you are ultimately responsible. Levein was responsible for all signings, not just the good ones, the bad ones too. If you employ rookie coaches it's not credible to believe that he has not signed off on all the recruits. If not , why is he hoovering a large salary for being DOF?

Regurgitating again, Enzo. C L supported his coaches.  If he hadn't there would have been uproar about the dictator of football interfering. He is fair game for getting Cathro's appointment spectacularly wrong but it takes an extreme level of blindness to see Cathro's preferred choice of player was very different from Levein's.

 

as for his salary, he is responsible for overseeing all aspects of the football operations including rebuilding a decimated academy. He is now also directly responsible for managing the first team. I've no idea what he warns but I would think it merits more than Mcinnes and Lennon. Any ideas?

I think the latest A/A's disclosed Directors Remuneration of £134k. CL is the only paid Director for performing Executive role.

 

That period covered him solely performing DoF role. Will be interesting to see if his terms have been revised in accordance with his dual role. 

 

I would be very surprised if both McInnes and Lennon are not on more than £134k. I think they could be on nearer £250k, certainly in case of McInnes who will be on improved terms after Rangers interest. McInnes might be on even more than £250k.

Always been a thorn in our side whenever he has been fit as far as I can remember. In that respect a bit like Ian Jardine when he came to us, he can make a team go up a gear.

you better no be stirring as he has put up with enough shite from supposed called Hearts supporters and only for passing on information he's been told, and then to be subjected to interrogation when things don't happen

Yup. And just shows the class of him that when he finally gets a PM (if he has at all) from you then he then posts the info on the board. Having had PM's from people ITK in the past they usually ask you dont post it on the main board or if you do dont mention they told you. Sounds like someone desperate to get info so making up lies.

[Jamhammer]

As others have said Murray Davidson's injury history would be a concern but, if fit would 100% improve us. He's one of those players you always notice whenever you play against his team.

Uche Ikpeazu I've never seen play but looks like a monster, is young and might be worth a punt

I think it's a case of clubs in Scotland not wanting to pay the development fee. 

 

I believe he signed a one year extension last year and he will be a proper free agent come the summer. If that's correct, I'd imagine he'll be moving to a Premiership side.

As a midfielder you’re not always going to stand out. Who cares if other teams haven’t signed him. He is a decent ball playing midfielder imo, but he definitely does need to get himself into the premier league. I’d probably take Ali Crawford over him but if Sibbald was one out of of 3 or 4 brought in for midfield I wouldn’t be too disappointed.  We’re putting a new pitch in specifically to suit players who pass the ball well. 

 

Another thing he offers which we still terribly lack is a decent left foot. We have no left footers other than Berra in the squad which quite frankly is a complete joke. We do have a midfielder with 2 left feet Callachan though, Sibbald is without a doubt a better passer of the ball than him.

 

As for Paton, all I know about him is he’s a midfielder who has been jumped in the queue by Cochrane who is 2 years younger than him, and then he was sent on loan to stenhousemuir. His Hearts contract is up next month.
