Surely to **** we have to be more ambitious than him ???? What's best for Hearts isn't the issue. It's what's best for Levein. Every move we make, every appointment etc. must suit Craig and do nothing to undermine his involvement in whatever capacity. I fear we can get a lot worse and Ann Budge still won't act.

Since then we've lost 1 of 6. Is that really how it works though? If so, surely McPhee is as much to blame as Levein? Levein is reportedly only with the team two days a week. I would think it unlikely that Levein pops in and ruins all Austins good work so aye, McPhee should shoulder some of the blame and be emptied.

The Merse Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 1 hour ago, Cut The Crap said: You've missed out his "achievements" at Hearts. Has played an integral role in us finishing 5th, 6th, and 6th in the past three seasons and in our current position joint bottom of the table. Glad someone posted this. There was excitement when he joined based on his experience. Since joining we've been utter guff. Can't put the blame on him completely but ultimately if does have influence at the moment then it's clearly not a good influence. If he doesn't have much influence then his much vaunted experience is fairly meaningless isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FruitJuice Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Would this not just be Cathro mark 2? The only difference being that we are promoting an assistant at the club rather than one from somewhere else? No more rookie managers and coaches. Apart from Levein, are all our coaches in the first jobs as one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byyy The Light Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Please no. Personally I think his over analyzing is to be blame for our constant tinkering and setting up to stop opposition being successful at what they do. Just go out and play to our own strengths and win the game, especially at home. Instill an arrogance and belief in the players that they are better than the opposition and go out and beat them. Of course that won't work every game but at least we'd be entertained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hisnameis Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Surely a fresh approach is required. If A Mc goes in and Levein goes back upstairs then nothing has changed really. Levein would just micro manage and dodge the flak. We need him out of the club otherwise we just go back to wee notes passed down by a lackie to the scapegoat with the same old pash on the park.

Howdy Doody Jambo Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 No thanks, must be 50% influence at least already on our style of play look at the state of our attacking flair and our watertight defence strikes me as a stats and figures chap rather than having motivational skills with enthusiasm to inspire Which player's have improved in the last 18 months that are still at the club ?
