EasternRossco Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I know there's been those clamouring for a change of manager long before me but unfortunately today was my last straw with Levein. I like him for his media dealings but as a manager I think he's had his time. Question is... Who can we realistically get as a replacement?

jambo in iraq Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Alex Neil, Paulo Sergio, Steve Clarke, Robbie Neilson, David Hopkins, or even that lad that was Hibs first choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thommo414 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Couldn't go one post without Steve Clarke. As if he would ever want this job ffs. Perhaps the ultra attacking flair master that is Tommy Wright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1874Gorgie1874 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 If levein leaves the club altogether we should be going for a manager such as Gary Rowett but if levein goes back upstairs we’ll end up with daly or MacPhee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTT Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I tried to suggest Neilson but folk aren't able to understand that our current structure deters managers of significant experience like Sergio or Clarke. If you factor in our structure and try and suggest a legitimate option Neilsons about as good as you can get. If Alex Neil ever became available I'd move heaven and earth to make that happen, but again he'd probably want more control than Levein would give him... Even after the club is handed over Budge will likely remain which therefore means Levein will remain. Using that structure try and select a genuine candidate that would actually take the job considering the shit show we had leading to Leveins appointment as manager. Names or gtf.

Central Belt 1874 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I dont think there is a suitable Scottish candidate available. I would like an ambitious, probably European coach who has a desire to manage at the top level I.e. in England. We should be looking to sell the qualities that the city of Edinburgh has, including the stadium, club set up, training facilities and the committed and dedicated support of thousands of supporters to this person. We should be stretching our budget for a quality manager or coach. Even if it means 1 or 2 fewer players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jodami Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 The real issue is that other clubs would always have one eye on succession planning on the football side but I don't think we do. Everything revolves around Levein and I suspect no one else at board level has thought seriously about what happens next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five to One Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Always had time for Levein but clear he’s yesterday’s man. Can’t help feeling Hearts have backed themselves into a cul de sac with our appointments and succession policy. Would give Levein till the end of the season because of the Cup run, but I think we need to have a clear out of the management and coaching staff and start again. Plenty good coaches and managers out there with a more progressive and positive approach. I’d advocate for this even if we win the Cup - though that seems unlikely right now. Don’t want to over criticise Budge as going with Levein and Co probably seemed like good idea when she took over. But we’re 5+ years on now and the experiment is drawing to a natural conclusion.

It was the same when Hopkin was there, as has been proven by the fact that Hopkin has since gone on to Bradford and only lasted a few months. Quite apart from anything else, Livingston play dreadful hoofball, as evidenced by their centre halves being their top goalscorers.

Romulus Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I think we need a new manager long term but the reactions to today’s defeat are embarrassing.

jambonian Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 We waited for weeks for a new manager when Cathro was ousted. Loads and loads of applicants applied, some were interviewed but didn't want to work under Levein's "philosophy and vision" so that's why we ended up with him taking the job. Even if Levein did go back upstairs, not many will want to work under him. We need to move forward and the only way to do so is for him and the rest of the coaching staff (or at least, most of them) to leave so we can start with a clean slate. The scouting seems honking as well. If we carry on as we are then we'll still be having this conversation this time next year. I'd even change before the semi-final. A wee morale boost might make the difference between winning and losing against Inverness next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
