So, the only thing that has changed in the past 24 hours is that we progressed in the cup, that is the only thing that has changed. Yet, somehow with this happening you think he'll be sacked. So in essence, you are re hashing the same old arguments, quite clearly CL wasn't sacked for last seasons performance. Yet, after progressing in the lc you suddenly think he should be sacked. You need to let it go. He hasn't been sacked for the performance for last season--he's still here , he won't get sacked for progressing in the lc. That would be ridiculous. Anyway, off topic.

chuck berrys hairline Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 The stadium over spend and the reliance of wealthy benefactors/FOH to plug our spending gaps would suggest not really. I think she's pulled the wool over alot of folks eyes and I've went off her since the first season up. The amount of times she and Levein are hypocritical in the press is laughable.

heartandsoul Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Any other teams manager would be long gone by now.

kimosavi Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 The worrying thing for me is where we find ourselves right now We are 1 week from the start of the League campaign. We are at least 3 midfielders short Our football team lack any confidence or creativity and seemed to just have picked right back from last season We are set up to play exactly the same as the last campaign We have 4/5 Strikers who cant score A team of players who can't create anything A centre back who is regularly being used up front in Halkett as our only goal threat An owner who continues to bury her head in the sand We have Aberdeen, Ross County and Celtic in our 1st 3 games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leveins Battalion Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Pretty hard to have a go at Mrs Budge,she has put everything into the club,however oor Craig has pulled the wool so far over her eyes with his delusions of academy greatness.Lets remember that this is not a knee jerk reaction from fans over the poor start to this season,this is years of poor football and results. I'm sure even she must listen to his interviews and appreciate that he talks some amount of shite.He is fast becoming a laughing stock with pundits and opposition fans alike. Wasted millions on wages for hundreds of players. Leveins legacy will not be remembered fondly by Hearts supporters.When we as a club have fans fighting in the stand and on forums it's time to all move in same direction,that entails removing Levein and his coaching team and starting fresh. Do the right thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMJ_1874 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Hypothetically speaking of course. If we had Jimmy Saville as our manager, Peter Sutcliffe as his assistant, and Cyril Smith as physio and we were playing the wee team....no way on earth would I want us to lose to enforce a management change. I’m sure if this eye bleeding stuff continues then there will be more answers than questions. Last years LC group qualification was marred by default when we we should’ve been docked 3 instead of 2 points. We then had a blistering start to our league campaign and everyone boarded the happy train. I head to Aberdeen full of confidence as of yet, we haven’t played anything like our strongest 11. Xmas isn’t too far away and I’m sure the managers fate will be known by then if our current form continues. IMHO CL needs to stop his sentimental loyalty to players like Berra, Claire (needs better players alongside him for him to play this role) and Uche if we are going to have any chance of finishing in the top half this year.

Ernie Eskilsson Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 She’s been a godsend but her expertise stops at the touch line.

If you've been accused of not being a proper Hearts man because of it, then rightly so. Anyone who wants to see Hearts get beat has no place following the club. There's another thread where a guy was actually applauding East Fife penalties yesterday such is his disgust at Levein still being our head coach and then wonders why actual Hearts fans turned on him. You can't make it up. If you hate Levein, fine but don't follow us if it means you want us to get beat. Do something else until he's gone.

Not without criticism but on the whole she has been great for hearts. Agree with this, however the football for about three years now has been terrible. I think she'll leave Levein in charge until FoH assumes the position of majority shareholders, and then Levein can step aside, and possibly her), and she can quite rightly claim mission accomplished. I just hope funds are in place to bring in a high profile manager who can build on the good work that she and Levein has done behind the scenes.
