sadj Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 7 minutes ago, Spellczech said: What was he doing? Well undoubtedly he was rebuilding the Academy and probably trying to get some sort of scouting structure established. We could not rely on 4 years of Gomis and Prince-type signings from Levein's past... Does he share some blame for the signings of Neilson and Cathro - possibly, but that is now moot. I'm more interested in how he did in January in his own right and will do in the summer... Hearts have an unbalanced squad, have done all season. We plugged some gaps in January but we pretty much still have a big hole in central midfield which we are shoring up with promising schoolboys...Levein perhaps learned from what Brown did to Cochrane at Parkhead, and avoided a possible repeat at Ibrox...Once again, just a competing narrative. Certainly not a conclusive explanation. Fair post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he'd just come into the club in August to clear up Cathro's mess, I'd be giving him the benefit of the doubt - but as he played a major part in Cathro's mess, I'm not. That's your opinion, which I'd already gleaned. But I've also already stated my opinion on it which differs. I suggested that Levein was at fault only in so far as he provided too long a leash to his young managers. We could criticise Levein for allowing Cathro to start a major rebuild in January 17....I'm repeating myself. You need to start taking contrary opinions on board - it gets boring if you just repeat what you've already said, and I have to do the same.

Sir Vladimir of Romanov Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) So, a terrified DOF appoints not one but two inexperienced managers. (not an experienced safe pair of hands). One of said inexperienced managers he helped (but only with the bad stuff it would seem) to romp the championship. The same terrified, negative, shitebag, then takes over himself, moving more into the spotlight and scrutiny, yup typical shitebag behaviour there. Manager of the century he may not be, but he is not, and never will be a terrified shitebag. If you take the emotional connection out of football you may as well shut it down.

I would've preferred a cuffing whilst having a go, than the insipid performance that resulted in a 2-1 defeat...Levein opting not to play Cochrane could have been for a number of reasons, I merely suggested it was to protect him, as being one...Opting not to play Cochrane may have reduced his options, or perhaps his choice of playing to "frustrate" Rangers necessitated Cochrane being rested?

Lawyers do this but what you often end up with in a court is 2 competing and even opposite narratives of purported "truth". The only truth in a courtroom is that everyone telling a story is trying to be selective with the facts, so as only to use the ones that fit their narrative and outcome. The actual truth is as likely to be not heard as heard, disbelieved as believed. Lawyers are simply storytellers. So are you buddy. Be open to critique. I stated by opinion on page 3 or 4 and it doesn't fit with your explanation at all. Others also do not regard Levein as a jaded loser. A competing narrative is that he knows he doesn't have the quality in attack to have a go at the OF in Glasgow...That is an explanation I would agree with. You could have "full stopped" at "doesn't have the quality". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ping-pong, tit-for-tat debate of one man against the world. Here's what I do miss. You having a view - any view at all! - about Hearts, as opposed to Rangers.

I and others replied to some of those responses. On a football messageboard, is responding to comments from others now some Mark of Cain? Do remind me again how many pages the one and only thread you ever contribute to has. Is that because that thread's just full of attention seekers too? Or maybe you'll only be happy if the only thing that's discussed on here is Rangers. Goodness knows, I can't remember the last time you had anything to say about Hearts. Shaun - mind what you called a poster who said he'd never mentioned Norwich ? Have you checked ? I still maintain that the most important issue for all football fans in Scotland is the Sevco one, hence my main contribution is to the Rangers soap opera trhead. 95% of my contribution to that is information provision.

I have my views. But despite being an ST holder, and therefore regular attendee (not a perfect attendance), I leave those better qualified to comment. I'm sure you'll check, but my other contributions tend to be of a historical nature (about how sh'te Pat McShane was, for instance). That ok ?

I just think it's a pity, because you used to have plenty to say back in Romanov's time. But each to their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what? But given your view that "sacking the manager is never a constructive move", why did you conduct a one-man campaign agreeing with the sacking of someone who was sacked with Hearts top of the league? ???WTF you talkin' 'bout? I never ever agreed with the sacking of Burley. I did try to interpret what Vlad was trying to do. I lost hope on that front the night I met Julia Goncaruk in Tiger Lily and realised that she was utterly paranoid about every Hearts fan's opinion of Vlad...Crazy hot, but mostly crazy that girl...

Ah, if only the archive extended back that far. And yes: the entire problem with the previous regime was it was basically paranoid about everything. For example: "McGhee didn't get on the plane because Celtic tapped him up". Goncharuk was indeed hot - but not a patch on the mighty, incomparable Janet Smirnova.

You sure it was Goncharuk you met, and not Janet Smirnova? Dunno - one of them. I was a bit drunk and am rubbish with names. It was an eye-opener. Would've been better if it had been a leg-opener...I gave up on the Romanov regime that night. Stone dead. I did google for a photo but couldn't find one. Smirnova now works at UEFA - LOL Edited April 26, 2018 by Spellczech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staggered as to why why anyone has any faith in him doing anything of note while Hearts manager. A man who’s happy enough to let Hibs lord it over us in the way they are. What a pile of shit. With his record against Hibs and his Natural Order comment, Levein is happy for them to lord it over us? At least try pretend you're on the wind-up.
