You must have a different definition of reality to me.....

 

Clearly. 

 

I would say only being  6 points off second after one of the worst runs of injuries and form I can think of in a long time is still competing! But maybe you fit in with the rest of the entitled who think we are bigger and better than we really are

It isn't a coincidence that we've crumbled after losing Naismith and Uche. Fact is our lack of quality signings have cause this complete collapse.

In that case I can’t wait for FOH to take over, so we can ditch this apprentice management scheme.

 

It was only a good idea in Craig’s head anyway

Clearly didn’t read the governance proposal if you think this will happen when the FOH take over

How about Jose Mourinho?

 

What an idiotic response, why could we not get Steve Clarke?

Levein is not going anywhere this season. I’ll judge him at the end. 

Makes sense.

 

Bottom six he needs to revert to DoF and stay away from first team influence. 

 

Top four progress and due another season.

Who are the 5 and did you think only 5 were good enough after the first 9 games?

I would go for Gary Holt, done a very good job with Falkirk before going to Norwich and has done an amazing job with Livingston. Clearly a very talented coach/manager.

 No thanks, Holt is just a front at Livvy, the guy who pulls the strings is  Dave  Martindale, he was also influential during Hopkins time there too

Holt failed at Norwich and hardly set the heather on  fire at Falkirk either

For the reasons that have been discussed on here and elsewhere many many times.

 

I'll summarize it for you to make it simple.

 

Steve Clarke will not be the next Hearts manager.

You're upsetting the uberfan minority who run JKB. Watch out, mate.

I think you're right. Its what I've heard also. Martindale is the brains and Holt is the front. A bit like the Leishman/Hay combination years ago.

 

Apparently the main reason Kenny Miller walked.

There are better Managers out there that can get a team to punch well above it's weight and win trophies for the Club.

He is to caught up in his own footballing prejudices, which have brought little success in the past, to achieve that..

It's already been discussed over several threads why SC won't be the next Hearts manager?

Because we’re hearts, not Manchester United. Why the **** would Clarke come to us? What does he have to gain?

Levein has to stay as manager or leave altogether. Going back to D.o.F. only resolves nothing.

True. Clarke's too good for Scottish football. But I bet he's really enjoying life right now.

I have said on here before, I would like to have seen Jody Morris. Sue he would have jumped at the chance to mange Hearts 6 months ago, no chance now. Played in Scottish football plenty of contacts and took Chelsea youth team on a 2 year unbeaten run. 

 

Football has moved on massively in the past 10 years, Just look at how outdated Mourinho has looked this season.

Leave preferably. Both roles. We are going nowhere under his tutelage.

Ole Gunnar Solskjær getting a reaction 3-1 (for now) how would a replacement for Levein get a reaction with our team over the last few games?

There are better managers that we could get. Anyone who think Levein is the best manager we can afford is a ****ing idiot. It's evident he's one dimensional in his approach and signs too many duds that don't provide adequate cover.

Disagree, when Ann steps down, then the super close, I’ve got your back, relationship is no more.

 

Of course things can be different, managers and their ways of working are always under scrutiny, especially when things don’t go well.

Enough is enough. Fans are continually putting funds into the club and he is just not the man to take us forward at all. Something has to be done so we can get a forward and progressive manager in the door so we can move forward. Defeat by Hibs and an exit to livi in the cup and the season is over. 

 

We need to get away from the cosy relationship Craig and Ann have and he needs to be taken to task on the dross we are seeing. 

 

 

As she acknowledged herself, it's not good governance having her as major shareholder,  CEO and Chairman.  Equally,  having Levein as DOF ,  manager and board member is unhealthy.  Budge needs to appoint a football man as CEO, a Campbell Ogilvie type, in order to end her supposed reliance in Levein. His methods are dated and he needs replaced by a more progressive manager.

where exactly are we now from when cathro was emptied? are the youths clamouring at the door of the first team ? this season must be the biggest chance we had of making a real impact,and yes I was full of hope at the start of the campaign, injuries taken very much into consideration,but expecting a lot better

Would Steve Clarke want the job? Have doubts. He came back to Scotland to manage the club where he's from. Only club he'd leave Killie for in Scotland would probably be Celtic.

There are mitigating circumstances, obviously, but the performances levels and results are really poor. We should still have been capable of taking points v. Killie, St. Mirren and Livingston. The lack of urgency, intent, guile and creativity is depressing. 

 

For me, we'll tread water with Levein until 2020 when Ann hands over control to FoH then take a new road. No way, imo, will Craig survive her way going.

Can’t be arsed writing a big spiel...

 

1) Craig Levein is going nowhere. Ann said as much.

2) Even if he was, it would happen in May 2019 at the earliest.

3) 4th is our objective, it is still very much on. 

4) We’ll be a much better team again after the winter break.

5) Surely no-one expected us to win today

??

6) Beat Hamilton and Hibs and no one will be moaning.

If we offered Killie enough and him enough and CL wasn’t here, then of course he would. Money talks.

Right so if killie have Brophy and Stewart and Findlay and Boyd injured do you think they would still be where they are now?

Right, Steve Clarke was speaking this week about how he can happily rotate players like Kris Boyd, Scott Boyd, Brophy and Jordan Jones, safe in the knowledge that he has equally good replacements. So, the answer is that they would be doing just as well  given that they have a far stronger squad than us, despite us signing 19 players.

I’m not arguing about the closeness of budge and Levein I’m saying “we” ( I guess you mean the foh) won’t have any power to change the business model, you would know this if you read the governance proposal

Welt.

If it wasn’t Levein as manager, I expect you would be wanting a new manager in.

 

We shouldn’t be six points off 2nd place and the way we are playing at the moment we’ll soon be a lot more points behind. 

 

Not long ago we were 13 points in front of the sheep.

 

Welt.
