None of us have a clue until the first phase is over.  

 

Our seasons ticket sales sales are pretty near an all time high and it would be no surprise if they are down 10%ish.... if it turns out sales are much lower than this and your point is probably valid.... anything better and it’s not.

Sales shouldn't be going down when we've increased the capacity by over 3000 though. Actions have to be taken which sells the majority of those new seats, all of which are in the Hearts end of the stadium. The only action which will sell more seats is improving what is being watched. If we drop by 10%, thats 1400 ST's not renewed. I think it will be in that ballpark, possibly a little more if we're not being seen to improve the squad dramatically. A lot of people might well consider that there is no need to have an ST next season because you'll be able to pick and choose games and will be unlikely not to get a ticket for most games.

What did Levein do to save the club? 

 

Surely not a serious question? 

 

If you can’t recall worthwhile looking at Ann comments regarding having CL as part of the team that gave her the confidence to provide the funding to save the club.

[fila]

The first half set the tone, We allowed them to comfortably pass the ball around by not pressing hard enough. Now that is either player attitude or the way we were set up to play, either is unacceptable. Worryingly CL seemed to think it was all fine , as he never looked to change it, so I believe it was the way he wanted us to play. Feel sorry for the fans who travelled through

No, you probably don’t.

[Fareastjambo]

We had nothing to lose today, Rangers did. We should have had a go at them from the off. We didn't, it was the usual defensive display we've come to expect when we are away from home and even then we let in two goals. I'm a very frustrated  and angry Hearts fan today.

Amazing how a defeat brings out the same old brigade screaming for the managers head.

 

We have an absolutely outstanding home record this season. We have added some quality players all signed by CL while manager. Both him previous managers and the owner have explained countless times CL did not sign players as DoF. 

 

The saddest thing I've read on this thread is people questioning the academy, that's pathetic and completely ignorant of the work that's gone into that side of the club. 

 

Ffs we've not even played a full season at Tynie this season.

 

We were beaten by the team 2nd in the league at their own ground. We're playing for nothing they are playing for the careers at the moment. 

 

We've turned the home form round and next season we need to work at the away form.

I was up for renewing season ticket for next season but Leveins comments this week about Maclean not being able to run and having bad knees and also that the Cambridge boy is a gamble just isn’t good enough. He appears to want to keep Adao who’s had one good game, he wants to keep Naismith who’s had little impact. He’s  signed Amankwaa who looks a complete waste of time. We’re losing our keeper and it’s extremely unlikely whoever we get will be as good as he is. We’ve no pace in the side and it doesn’t sound like we should expect many more additions to the squad. I’m pretty much waiting to see if there’s by miracle going to be anyone coming in that I think will improve us. If not I’m out.

Yeah, got the run around in his last game v Dundee as well. 

 

I’m sure I’ve seen Levein say another couple of players and he’d be happy. I’m assuming he’s confident of deals for Mitchell, Adao & Naismith and the other 2 are the only others. I’d only want Mitchell on loan and see if they could get Milnkovic on permanent deal.

I do know Clarke has failed twice already in management and in view of that I would wait a bit longer before you go shouting from the rooftops.

Not that long ago Mcinnes and Wright were flavour of the day on here.

 

If you think Steve Clarke failed miserably twice in management yet thinks the sun shines out Craig’s arse I suggest you look again at what he done at West Bromwich and what Craig done down South.

 

You sit and make excuses after excuses for everything including wait for it Killie have been under achieving.  He seems to have turned killie around in under the same amount of time we have done zero under Craig.  Clarke is a much better manager this era.  There’s nothing, I mean nothing to suggest Levein is a better manager.  Gives one example?

Nowhere near good enough.

 

Ok, so basically you want Ann Budge to come out and say it’s completely unacceptable and that the managers position is under consideration ? When he’s not had a full transfer window and he’s mid-rebuilding ? 

Thats really wise at this moment. Trying to shift season tickets and a vote of no confidence in the manager who has already started signing players for next season. The home form is very good. The away form is terrible and he will be judged on this next season.

are you renewing ?

Levein is a divisive presence within our club of that there is no doubt. Nobody should be bigger than Heart of Midlothian and sadly I can only see his Head Coach tenure ending one way. His philosophies are such that failure is inevitable and in time the ever increasing number of fans who want change will ensure that’s exactly what happens. Next season will likely be another insipid snorefest played out in front of thousands of empty seats at Tynecastle and see a further waste of the resources provided by a tremendously loyal fan base. Fortunately it’s now only a matter of time till things come to a head.

Adao has been solid and with him Djoum was moving into his more natural position and starting to look like a baller again. Adao has been good in front of the defence apart from after the concussion and his murdo mcleod impression. Today looked like he was still concussed at times. He was poor. Naismith has been a good addition to the team and has added a few goals although what he brings cant be quantified in just goals and assists. Amankwaa has shown moments of class and if he doesnt up it afer a preseason then we will release him after the season rather than keep him. Seems sensible. Nevermind ignoring our interest in keeping demi and milinkovic for next year... tho with those two there is a positive spin so doesnt suit the narrative. 

Our rumoured replacement for McLaughlin (if he leaves) is a quality goalkeeper but again that doesnt fit the narrative and as @davemclaren stated its only around 7 players we want to bring in.

I thought Laff and Naismith were frankly anonymous today. Service was atrocious but both looked laboured 

 

I still think there remains doubts about Lafferty being here beyond the summer. Naismith has quality as anyone can see but has not had the impact we probably hoped. How much of that is down to where he is deployed is perhaps another debate. 

 

We have absolutely no pace anywhere in our squad. That aligned to a lack of width, creativity, energy and a complete dearth of naturally left sided players is frankly scandalous.  Levein has overseen the composition of the playing squad for 4 years and is therefore culpable 

 

We need to get behind him because he is here next season whether we like it or not.  I suspect many know his his tenure is likely to end, but that remains to be seen

I still think there remains doubts about Lafferty being here beyond the summer. Naismith has quality as anyone can see but has not had the impact we probably hoped. How much of that is down to where he is deployed is perhaps another debate. Both are clever players and you can see they go looking for the ball and drop far too deep. Design or necessity is hard to tell im leaning towards the latter for now.

That aligned to a lack of width, creativity, energy and a complete dearth of naturally left sided players is frankly scandalous.  Levein has overseen the composition of the playing squad for 4 years and is therefore culpable. Undoubtably but you know i agree he has a degree of accountability - either bad decision or giving too much rope to inexperienced head coaches. Damned if you do damned if you dont. The massive changes under Cathro to accomodate his style had royally shafted us that needs to be taken on the chin. Energy - you know my feeling on our preseason iv said it for months again Pace may come into this partly , width - is there a correlation to the tynie pitch and our inability to have width away from home?

There have been people saying the academy is essentially a joke its produced nothing and wont. Irrelevant to today yes but appropriate as it was raised on here. The cup game was a sore one as much because it was ours to lose and a once a season strike beat us. The away form is honking but weve no pace to counterattack no midfield to play through and no targetman to hold the ball up and have an out and little energy to pressure the other team.

How do the club explain the August cluster****? It took weeks to replace Cathro before we realised the answer lay within. Did that procrastination merely allow the club to abstain from the transfer activity needed? 

 

There is no point in replacing Levein as Manager or Head Coach whilst he remains in DoF capacity because no self respecting manager will work under him 

 

Today was atrocious but no less atrocious than last visit to Ibrox or two trips to Easter Road. That tells me we are learning nothing 

 

Those who defend him staunchly believe there is going to be a recruitment spree this summer that he will oversee that will be diametrically different from the last few years. I see nothing to substantiate that other than pure blind faith
