It worries me the fact people on here voting for him to stay,what planet are they on?

 

Hibs fans or absolutely deluded fans who can’t see relegation staring us in the face. Also if they are Hearts fans they clearly can’t attend games because it’s not enjoyable

Austin is not the problem at hearts.

Andy Kirk is not the problem at hearts.

Ann is not the problem at hearts. 

 

I'm sure you can work out the rest...

Ann is turning out to be the problem by not sacking Levein & co. How she can be so out of touch with our support is very sad and unbusinesslike. Time for her to back the fans instead of Levein after all our loyal fans have given her nothing but support.

I agree. This was CL's plan the whole time.the guy is a fekin genius and should stay in charge for years to come

[Class of 75]

Needs to go now. Absolute clown.

I disagree. Austin comes across very much as Leveins right hand man and CL seems to talk things through with him during games. Austin also gets involved in team selection as confirmed by CL.

 

oh and for as long as Ann keeps Craig in a job, she’s a big part of the problem.

1 in 10 people who voted are Hibs *****, or related to Levein or Budge

[rudi must stay]

Course he should go. He is a toxic influence 

[MTS1874]

Sacked with immediate effect, we need a new management team with new ideas.

I agree about Ann...Just passing on info I was told this morning. 

Imo...she either sacks CL or falls on his sword when the time comes. 👍

Would love to hear the reasoning behind this?

[Bazzas right boot]

Be happy if he was a director or looking after the football set up behind the scenes. 

 

Should be removed from everything directly involved with the first team if he does go tho. 

 

 

[jambogaza]

3 wins in 20 league games and a team of players who appear lacking in confidence and motivation. They also appear spooked by the current situation 

 

12th in the league.

 

Absolutely no sign of results improving anytime soon, just more jam tomorrow.

 

A strong squad of players who are clearly not showing their best.

 

Football exists beyond Craig Levein. He needs to be shown the door immediately.

This.  If he hasn't given any good reason for him staying, I wonder if it's down to revenge.  Sow scoring a last minute winner?

Mrs. Budge is probably feeling very awkward right now.  It was just a couple of weeks ago that she gave CL a public vote of confidence and stated that he was doing a great job. It would be embarrassing for both of them if she was now to give him the boot.  So I have a suggestion:

 

- CL should go on an indefinite leave of absence, fully paid, to allow him to address his health issues.

- Gary Locke should take over as interim first team manager with immediate effect

- The Board should appoint a 3-person recruiting committee (not members of the Board or HMFC management) who will seek candidates and recommend a full-time replacement. Target completion date ... Sept 30.

 

You're welcome, Ann.

If the answer to this problem is Gary Locke then we're in Chernobyl-levels of shite.

 

I'd rather have a clanging monkey in the dug-out instead of Locke.

This is some red hot garbage. 

[Danny Wilde]

The similarity between now, and the end of Levein's tenure as Scotland boss in 2012 is uncanny, Even the SFA incompetents had the guts  to punt him when it had all gone too badly wrong for far too long.

 

"Craig Levein pays price with Scotland for failure to win"

 

"with a record of only three wins from 12 competitive games, perhaps the only surprise is that it took the Scottish Football Association until now to decide that Levein's time was up...Levein had run out of plausible defences for a growing list of failings on his watch...the Tartan Army had grown weary of his inability to produce on-field performances to match his positive and optimistic pronouncements....despite the failure to reach the play-offs, Levein spoke of improvement and stated that Scotland were capable of winning all of their qualifying matches in a World Cup group that featured Belgium, Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia and Wales. Alas, that prophecy was to come back to haunt him as dour home draws were garnered against the Serbs and Macedonia...Levein has been closely involved in the SFA's attempt to overhaul Scottish football from top to bottom. While this project may yet prove to be a fruitful one in the long term, Levein's primary task was to return success in the short term, something he was unable to do."

I wouldn't be unhappy. But tbh I'm not going to celebrate whoever IS appointed in this role. it's not my priority right now. 

Right now the 1st team needs fixed. 

Not really caring how it is fixed, it just needs fixed. 

 

I'm not on a personal crusade to chase CL out of Edinburgh either. 

 

If he has something to offer the football beyond the 1st team then I'm for him being that person, if not get rid. 

I have very limited knowledge of our behind the scenes activities tbh. 

 

I'm very wary that simply removing CL is only the start and we need a plan in place to replace him. 

 

I get the feeling many on here think we'll be transformed into an all conquering team as soon as he leaves and by him leaving completely will fix everything. 

It would just be the start and in fact things could get worse quite easily in the Interm.

Wrong. Indefinite leave sends entirely the wrong message. Regardless if it costs exactly the same money he should be removed from the club and a replacement given a fresh start, not having the ghost of CL hanging about the club
