Kiwidoug Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Despite my utter despondency last Sunday and beyond, I'm now supremely confident that I'll waken tomorrow to the news that Meshino is a Jambo, England are savaging Australia and that will be just the foretaste to Hearts crushing Motherwell. Saturday in NZ for this Jambo is looking extremely good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it when the big guy gets a bit carried away talking about a player, even if he's being a bit premature. It shows him up for what he is - a Jambo at heart. He seems to get as excited as we do about the thought of some decent player or other coming to play for us. Maybe it's part of why he's finding it hard this time around - too much of a fan, not enough of a manager. Or something 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something doesn't add up to me. Levein's value to Hearts is far more than just on matchdays. If we lost Levein Budge would be right back at the start. This is partly due to Levein making himself the key man and partly Budge making him the key man. The bits that are not going right are the succession planning and the first team results. Both appear to be moving (admittedly slowly) in the right direction though... We should not underestimate just how destructive dispensing of Levein would be to the club. It would be seismic.

The bit that worries me is that I'm not convinced by Daly & Fox being developed for one of them to be a potential Head Coach. I am guessing that this is what is happening... The current process of the 3 younger guys doing the training Mon-Thur then Levein coming in on Friday to watch the first team and pick the team on Saturday is just not getting results so far...In theory, it is actually sound, but in practice it is just not working...

Your first point is , in my opinion , undisputable . The cretins on here calling for CL to be kicked out the club should be ashamed of themselves .

You argue on the first point that since becoming DOF how signings have been successful...30% or lower that is not good enough. On the point on CL being manager...well his record speaks for itself. Worst than cathro. For me again that's not good enough and he has to go. If we brought in the best players in the world CL would still have us in 6th place.
