Famous 1874 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Pereira at Man United is probably good. 23 years old and is still there. Rated Bachmann last season at Killie and assume he will be available as he is unlikely to get a look-in at Watford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but I'm struggling to keep us with his incompetence now. Surely he will resign on Monday. I doubt he will resign on Monday but there is no doubt he has a VERY important couple of games coming up. Should we lose to Motherwell and Celtic I'd suggest his position as Head Coach is close to untenable. Personally, I'd like him to move back to the DoF role and let someone with fresh ideas take over as HC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the same eyebleeding football we've been subjected to for the last 3 years. I don't understand this hoffball drivel..

I understand there is a difference between the reality and the ideal but FFS there doesn't appear to be any attempt to construct any sort of style which the youngsters can relate to. In theory there shouldn't be a better guy to implement Leveins view of football than Levein but this isn't entertainment or adhering to any sort of philosophy, christ even the king of hoofball Big Sam at least goes out to win games, we don't even seem to be bringing that side of this more practical view of football Levein seems to have at first team level. He needs removed from first team level. We need someone in who can review how the academy models its way of playing and can reflect what is being played at youth level into the first team. What is being served up at Tynecastle is not entertainment, it already wasn't value for money, but we could at least justify it to ourselves. This is well beyond that now. I love Levein as a Hearts legend, but we need change. He'll have my eternal gratitude in helping pick the club up from the dirt Vlad left it in and rebuilding things, but he needs to get back upstairs, he's not got it anymore.

And if we win both games does that mean everything’s fine? Honestly these ultimatums are pathetic. i personally think the squad is better now than it was last year, but you need to give the team layers 10-15 games to gel. CL obviously sees the value in seeing what’s left after the English window closes. Yes, short term that means you have players coming in in week 2/3 of our season, but if you sign them on 2-4 year deals the benefits should be seen longer term. The alternative is going for possibly poorer players early and start with a few more wins, but realistically you end up with an inferior squad. Personal as if I’m recruiting at work I’d happily wait a month extra for the ‘Star’ candidate rather than getting the one with the shortest notice period. This might cause short term issues but long term you end up with a better employee. Last thing, If we get a new manager and they don’t win all the games against the old firm should they be sacked as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might think two or three players in the squad are hopeless but can’t say that publicly as it will not only affect that player, but will cause issues across the squad. Once you have new ( hopefully better) players in the squad you can then move the duds on. Much better way of doing it. Are people so simple that they believe the manager actually has a plan? Levein 100% wanted to go through the season with Clare and Haring in the middle. Going by the formation yesterday his plan has been to play Naismith as a winger as well 🙈. The man is clueless and the sooner people start to see this the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man is clueless and the sooner people start to see this the better. I think there will be a strategy (the ‘5 year plan) and this year the management team will have identified the areas to be improved if suitable replacements could be found, but the nature of the transfer window is such that sometimes players become available in areas that you’re strong but are much better than you have. Do you go for it or not? I would, but then it might look like you’re just signing random players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are quick enough at replacing the shite players but when it comes to his own performance hes not so quick to pull the trigger.
