Cool story tho. A new man would be hounded if be on his arse if he lost 2 out of his first 3. Players are hounded in even less time. Your words. And then it gets worse actually suggesting that if Levein won 2 out of next 3 he wont get any credit. Please stop trying to weasel your way out of your snide posts about our support. Get a grip .

jake Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 17 minutes ago, Smith's right boot said: I never called anyone morons either you absolute bull shitter. I also never said Levein was hard done by either, where have I every said that. I have actually said the opposite. You literally read a post, then just add things on to argue. If a new manager, taken over yesterday and got beat of hibs and Aberdeen folk would be screaming all ready, saying it was the wrong change, Ann should go, nothing has changed etc. I do not doubt it for a moment, folk would say that. **** up about hibs as well, nothing to do with hibs and I make no appoligies for having bitter dislike for rangers so go and do one that or pm me. If you are going to reply to my posts, try to read what I say and debate that or simply ignore me you bore. You insinuate. The support turns on players after less than 3 games A new manager wont get 3 games before the support turns. And then the classic If a new man comes in and wins 3 the hearts support will be dancing which is funny cos if Levein does that hes still done. I think I summed your nonsense followed by pish and summed up as shite on the button. All the while refraining from insults. You have filled these pages with boring repetition about our shit fans and straw grasping on behalf of Levein. So pot and kettle . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ was afforded until Vlad had one of his spikes of interest and found someone else in the following January. Hey there’s a thought, bring back old sulky Lazlo, he had a good season once, Michael Stewart can be his DoF. Both PHM and would love to stick it up Hibs, etc. And so on and so forth.

Hearts1975 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 11 hours ago, ToqueJambo said: Would be the perfect caretaker until the end of the season at the latest. Everything always seems right with the world when JJ is in the dugout. I remember the relief I felt when Romanov finally appointed him and it's no coincidence that we won something and reached another final shortly afterwards even if he wasn't there anymore. Agree with this 100% he is a great man manager/motivator and would get the best out of our squad and get the confidence and belief back. Maybe not a long term appointment but certainly to steady the ship and get back on track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are at crossed purposes here. Kevin Kyle didn't play in any cup finals for Hearts. I think the poster you quoted (and what i read from it) was saying that a lot of the time the tactics the 2nd time round under JJ were very much to lump it up to Kyle. No issue with it at all. But to give JJ the credit for the 2012 cup win is a bit of a leap for me. Game of opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made that comparison with the way Levein likes to play football. My point is that JJ finished 3rd playing that way - Levein finished 6th.

J.T.F.Robertson Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I doubt JJ is the answer as far as coach is concerned but do think he would be a good choice as someone to replace the one Ann now relies on for her footballing advice.

How is Robbo any better an option than JJ I love both of them but they’re not of the standard we need. I’m not sure why we always want to go back to ex players/staff when looking for a manager. The best thing we could do is get someone with experience who will come in with a completely fresh take on how they want to manage the team. The only person I can think of the top of my head who I’d be excited about coming back is Paulo but that would still be a huge risk and I don’t know if we can afford to get the next one wrong.
