Armageddon Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Neil McCann at least tried to be a manager, Stewart, who I’m guessing doesn’t even have his coaching badges, is just a useless lazy shitebag in all aspects of his life.

Pure class he was, had an uncanny knack of knowing exactly where the ball was going to be played by the opposition and could then get there first to intercept, even at 37 with no pace, he still often got there first, his positional sense was outstanding.

All these people who bump their gums about him and then whenever we get a poor result or a bit of media hoo-ha they go all apopleptic...What a mindset... Levein is not perfect, but there is nobody whom I would rather have at the club whom we can reasonably attract...Sacking managers without considering the repercussions and succession is nonsensical. Yes football is barmy and these things happen, but they shouldn't. Budge is not your typical club owner, she approaches the job with common and business sense. Levein is her right hand man. Understand it and accept it, for otherwise you just look like a fool who cannot understand simple things... Levein is not the reason the media attack Hearts, but of the managers we've had this century, only he and Paulo Sergio have the wit, intelligance and balls to return it with interest. She probably does run it as a business, in the sense she delegates the important decisions to the person she sees as the expert. It's not working especially well though.

Tasavallan Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Michael Stewart has an ego bigger than his footballing ability. While he has found his niche as a pundit he would never have achieved it as a manager. He lets his agenda colour his thinking when it comes to Craig Levein. Levein is smarter and winds Mikey up without much effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirt Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) I for one cannot wait to hear Stewarts reply to Levein's demand for an apology. Stewart is such an egotistical mouth-piece even if the BBC demanded that he clarify that he was wrong he'd rather lose his job than concede defeat to Levein. On another note he took a wee swipe at Levein having never one a trophy on Twitter. Did MS ever win a trophy in his career? I genuinely do not know hence why I ask.

Gary Mackay was not a limited player. He was a very good attacking midfield player who suffered from staying at Hearts to long, much like Paul McStay at Celtic. He was also shuffled all overy midfield especially under Jordan, much to his detriment. His game awareness with Robbo was also different class.

Jodami Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Wednesday was appalling and criticism about our over reliance on Naismith and Levein's comments on Vanacek (which I still think were ill advised) were justified. However Michael Stewart can't help himself and immediately makes it personal with Levein whenever an opportunity presents itself. He didn't even have the class to park their history and make a point of wishing Levein well after his heart scare. It's embarrassing and does him no favours. I love Scottish football and I like the fact that managers are given a fair chance and not hired and fired at will like the English Championship. Changing managers is expensive and judgements need to be made over a reasonable period of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
