Boris Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 7 minutes ago, Whatever said: What didn’t help with the accusations of interference from Levein was him entering the dressing room at Pittodrie and passing notes down from the stand. I get that it’s Hearts and Levein and the media will always be angling for that particular story but he didn’t help matters at times. IMO. Don't disagree - that's why if Levein is kept on in a DoF role, then that role needs to be transparent and crystal clear - not least for the support.

We do not need such a nuclear option. Why would it be wrong to rip up the football set up? It’s not working and has so many major flaws.

Horatio Caine Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I reckon of the two, McCann is the more likely candidate. He's clearly intelligent - that will appeal to AB. Robinson talks so fast it's sometimes hard to know what the hell he's saying! Would communicate well with Mulraney though! If it is McCann, the first time we play St Johnstone could be interesting.

Italian Lambretta Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Aye McCann as Head Coach and the deluded one back to DOF. It will all go great until we get a couple of bad results then the notes will start getting passed from Directors box to dugout and before we know we are up shit creek without a paddle.

FruitJuice Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Why does everything have to revolve around what is suitable for levein. We are getting a guy who hasn't proved it in management to accommodate levein. The fans no longer matter if McCann is given the job. Advertise the job and go for the best candidate. What is so complicated about this? We owe levein nothing. This proves he is now the club and what is best for taking the club forward doesn't matter. Fans are idiots if they accept this.

AlphonseCapone Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 1 hour ago, Whatever said: No idea if it’s true but there has been rumours for a few days that today was the day it’d be announced. I think @Shaggy2 alluded to that earlier also. Only thing I’d say in @Inch Hearts defence is an announcement next week seems more likely to me if change is indeed imminent. It allows the team to prepare for the derby without distraction. I also don’t think a new man would be announced so soon before the game as potential defeat at Easter Rd sets him off on the wrong foot with the fans. But then what do I know? 🤷♂️ Agree. Logically I think you are spot on. My only caveat is that it's Hearts and we aren't always known for logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jodami Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Please don't let this be true. As a manager he could cause trouble in an empty house, just what we don't need with our massive squad. No pedigree, minimum coaching experience and he will get little respect from the players as Scottish football is a village and the word will be out on him. Don't want to add another former favourite player of mine to the hate list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
