Of course he should be judged on this season as we have a new squad, most of whom are a good standard. Having said that, I feel if we don't beat Motherwell it may be time to jack it in as the baying mob will grow. Beat Motherwell, hibs and Aberdeen and they can hand their pitchforks back You feel he should be judged on this season but think he should quit if we fail to beat Motherwell?

I can't personally remember a time when I didn't want a team to be proud of. It feels to me that Levein is now on a one-game-at-a-time sort of arrangement. This will undoubtedly be Ann Budge's most difficult period during her time at Hearts. I think she is much more switched on than some give her credit for. And the trumpeting of one woeful armchair 'fan' (not aimed at you, Mitch) to the contrary only reinforces that belief for me. You know, the guy who thought the window cleaning bill would be 100k per anum. Good post I concur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18Jambo_dave74 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I notice a few posters have mentioned the Motherwell game potentially being Levein's last game if the result goes against us. Unless we hit new depths and get a hammering then I can't see that being the case. I'd have thought that if we were at that stage of giving him one more game, then the Hamilton game would have been the time to make a change. We would have had a 2 week break without any fixtures whereas now on the back of Motherwell we will have a derby and a cup quarter final tie in the next 10 days.

Been here before, will get better, training is great, see you next week. A gentleman with far too much power and, it would appear zero accountability. The party line appears to be. “We will get better” As opposed to, “I am going to address our terrible defending and goal shy striking” Everything will be fine when Naisy is back and fit.

Beast Boy Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I find the debate about if Levein goes on a winning run or ends the losing run but still retains his job amusing. There are Hearts fans out there who would actually disregard their team going on a good run, because they want the manager punished for a bad run.

Tasavallan Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Very simply, if Heart of Midlothian PLC was run like a proper big business, then a Quality Audit of its football directorate would have found the position of DoF/Head Coach as being 'not fit for purpose'. Any audit findings would have to have been actioned by the Board. Oh! Wait a minute, Levein is also a Board Member so lots of conflicts of interest here. I would like to believe that FoH would not tolerate Levien as a Board Member, the Director of Football and the Head Coach. Certainly not Head Coach, but I assume that the Director of Football is Board position. Does Mrs Budge have sufficient sway in the Boardroom to remove him?

I don’t know what he’s been seeing because we’ve deserved to lose all four games and have been fortunate to pick up the 2 points we have.

Press interviews when you are on a losing run, are rubbish, but equally they are rubbish when you are winning. Very few people actually say explicitly what they are thinking. Add these interviews to the same level of junk as any post match analysis and interviews, keeps the media in a job, that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure we look good in training. The fact that we haven't translated that into real games in nearly a year might be considered a failing of the head coach Also I see the familiar excuse of injuries gets top billing again. The interview reeks of arrogance and complacency in equal measure. With more than a pinch of patronising thrown in. He brags about how long he has been around the club. Some of us have been around longer. Edited September 12, 2019 by Francis Albert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
