Levein is not the answer mk2 ( merged )

It is rare that someone has had the opportunity to run the football side of a club in the way Levein has in the last few years.  He was able to start with very nearly a clean slate - unlike most managers who inherit far more players and other structures.  He's been able to select managers without a proper recruitment process and then select himself after throwing the second under the bus.  Chosen all the coaches.  The Board have given him unbelievable support in signing players - probably 60 or 70 of them with over 100 players used in the 4 and a half years.  Talks developing young players but blocks their way to the first team with the ludicrous numbers of signings.  Talks continuity but there is endless squad turnover.  Continues to push the Board on the laughable coach succession model.

 

And yet look at the results.  Ann Budge made a mistake when she tied herself to Levein.  Wasn't necessary to do that and unwinding his structures will be costly.

Totally agree. Until we untangle Levein from the club, we won't see the type of progress that most supporters want. Whether it's Budge or Levein that is driving this failed, flawed, "jobs for the boys" succession model...it's finished.

[El Diez]

What’s the bet?

 

£100 for 5th or below?

 

I’ll take it if someone clarifies but I want the cash.

 

If I lose and pay out and the winner wants to donate to big hearts then that’s up to them.

"This one would be a decent saver" means I don't expect Hearts to be 8th at the shutdown, Frank. In other words, it'd be a saver for you, as your bet on Hearts ending up above Killie is not looking good for you right now.

 

For the record, I think we'll beat Hamilton and draw, as a minimum, at Hibs. Who'll have three players missing thanks to Australia doing us a favour. 

 

Ah right, misunderstood you ??

I've known Hearts have many dreadful runs. Under JJ, you do know we picked up 2 points from 33, 3 from 36 in 1998/9 - and didn't even score a single bloody goal in the league for the first three months of 1999?

 

But you know what happened? It turned. With Hearts, it almost always does. Though we sometimes go down we can aye come back up. That is us. It's a rollercoaster - but things are almost never as bad as they seem or as good as they seem. So take the rough with the smooth. Nobody ever became a Hearts fan because they demanded constant trophies and league challenges, did they?

JJ earned himself some leeway by winning a cup and putting together a title challenge the year before. Craig Levein has won nothing at Hearts, despite being a player for 14 years and a manager for a combined 5.

 

Some people seem quite happy to accept mediocrity because "that's just Hearts, eh?".

I always find lines like your one above really amusing. Do you think that by "not accepting mediocrity", we'll suddenly avoid injuries, and be able to compete financially with Celtic and Rangers?

 

Do you think if you take a banner to Tynecastle saying "I DEMAND AN END TO MEDIOCRITY", then chant that message through the game, mediocrity will miraculously end?

 

Or, to put it another way: other than moaning about it on the internet, what, exactly, are you doing about it?

He's not just moaning about it. He's doing the classic, time-honoured football messageboard OPEN YOUR EYES WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE SHEEPLE thing of berating other fans for not seeing it as he does. When that wouldn't make the slightest difference in any case.

 

Our owner spoke during the week. She has full confidence in the manager. I'm quite sure, though, that if we don't make the top 4, the manager himself will stand down and give someone else a crack at it.

Perhaps I should move to South America and lecture other Hearts supporters on how they should feel about the team picking up 5 points from a possible 27. Just like Mr Lawson here.

More of the same next season? Another 15 or so game unbeaten run sounds good to me and I don’t think we’ll ever see an injury crisis like this one again. No team could cope with the loss of their first choice strikers - let alone one of the quality of Naismith - and CBs then their two backup CBs.

 

Even last season he did a good job of halting the slide, getting us winning in cup ties and derbies again and making us hard to beat at home.

 

He’s made mistakes but should be judged on the team he built at the start of the season not the patched up one.

 

A mistake I think he’s made, maybe due to fan pressure, is instead of trying to keep us hard to beat until the winter break he did try to pick teams to win games but has discovered we don’t have a matchwinner in our team with those injured players out. A lack of a good winger is an issue but noone was complaining at the start of the season.

 

Should be a different story when everyones back, you’d hope anyhow.

I'm not suggesting you should feel happy about it or something! Do you think anyone honestly does?

 

All I'm suggesting is that where Hearts are concerned, retaining a sense of perspective is always important. Other than when our owner was taking us towards death's door, Hearts throughout my life have been as follows:

 

3rd = very good

4th = OK/acceptable

5th = mediocre/not really acceptable unless there's real signs of progress and/or a Cup Final

6th = absolutely unacceptable, sacking offence if it's the result of a full season for a manager

Below 6th = disgraceful, sacking offence

 

Levein's already lost some of his credit by only finishing 6th last season: which means he needs top 4 this season, or else. But the thing about Hearts when we're run normally is: bad runs are usually cancelled out by good runs, so we end up no worse than 5th. Either 4th or 5th is where I think we'll end up this season too.

Ok Shaun. Firstly, who have I berated exactly? I highlighted the exact words of another poster on this thread about him claiming that we're "doing ok". I haven't berated anyone up until this point, but I'm happy to start now. I also haven't said anything close to "WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE PEOPLE" nonsense you've just come out with. I have merely questioned the aforementioned posters ascertain that we're "doing ok" when we've picked up five points from a possible twenty seven. Relegation form.

 

Our owner might have full confidence in the manager, but that doesn't mean everyone should just accept that. Last season people said it wasn't his team and we should let him build his own side. Well, here we are a year later and it's the same ****ing story again. He's had a chance to build a team and he's filled it full of utter dogshite.

Were you saying that before the injuries? Take the players we’re missing - in terms of quality and general importance to the team - for the same period and see how Hibs, Aberdeen, Rangers, Killie and even Celtic would cope. And throw in the loss of 3 pts through two of the worst ref decisions i’ve ever seen for good

measure.

 

I get the Levein haters are delighted right now but a bit of perspective needed. We always have a really bad month pretty much every season. This one was worse than most for obvious reasons.

 Before the end of last season is different from after the start we made to this season though. Based on that you geneuinely still thought he wasnt good enough for us? Amazing if true. Even the fast signings he needed to make to cover in defence - Dunne and Dikamona - were good.

 

A valid criticism  could be he tied us to one system that needed an Uche type. I assume though thats why he signed Vanacek amd tried so hard to get him earlier.
