To the Levein haters: Is there anything he could do to change your mind?

And 6th the year before. And walloped 5-0 from Livi.

 

The year before we had a completely different squad, not one built by Levein. Although to be fair he did manage to pick up Naismith, McLaughlin and Adao that season when trying to stabalise things after the Cathro debacle.

 

Against Livi, I wouldn't call a team without Souttar, Naismith and Uche our first choice, full-strength team. Still a shocking result but I"m pretty sure we would have had more attacking intent with Naismith and Uche rather than McLean on his own.

Uche is pish and Naismith will never be considered a regular when he spends half his time on the treatment table. How do you explain going on the worst run of results since we were formed? Injuries I take it?

Yes, the worst run of injuries since we were formed probably did contribute hugely to the worst run of form since we were formed. Mind you I don't recall many worst runs of form including a cup final appearance.

A right tricky path to get to that final, which we lost.

HiS Cathro debacle. To be fair, he also managed to pick up andcquickly drop Callaghan and Amankwaa that season. He also inherited the spine of his team from Cathro...Smith, Berra and Lafferty. He has been fully, completely and entirely responsible for successive 6th place finishes and our current 9th place position.

My intention is to wait until the end of October before becoming involved in any further thoughts on us going forward. I say that while firmly believing that Levein will leave the club totally once the majority shareholding changes hands.

 

Have I witnessed anything which has made me feel things are getting back on track at this stage, if being honest then the answer is no. We went to Easter Road and took three very welcome points off a totally shit Hibernian side. Did we play well, no, but we got a result, which did nothing more than paper over the cracks. If you base the League Cup quarter final on 90 minutes alone then that game ended as a draw before penalties came into play. Was I pleased we got through, absolutely, but over the weekend just past Rangers proved just how poor that Aberdeen side is at present. Last weekend we went to Paisley and got a draw, with another poor performance. We now have two home fixtures versus Kilmarnock and Rangers, followed by what could be 2 very telling trips to Livingston and Perth (I do have a horrible feeling that despite struggling to beat anyone St Johnstone could pick up their first win of the season against us).

[Der Kaiser]

If he does the floss at the opposition dugout whenever we score he can stay.....

[GorgieRules22]

Tommorow is a massive game for Craig Levein. We simply must win as it’s just not acceptable to not pick up three points in any home games against Ross County,Hamilton,Motherwell or Kilmarnock.

My feeling is that so long as AB is around the club and holding some sort of office then so will CL maybe not as Coach/Manager but still on the Board and DOF.

 

It is a pity that we have had so many injuries because it makes it difficult to give a balanced appraisal of how he has performed but then that is the challenge set to every Manager in football. How well they do when the chips are down and it tests out how good their squad is.

 

On paper our squad looks pretty good even with the injuires but the performances don't really match the expectations other than a couple of games.

 

I doubt that CL has the capabilities to motivate our fit players to give off their best in every game but then it seems most are happy to have the odd decent performance and have out team sitiing in the lower half of the league.

Games are not played on paper.

Just as a matter of interest and having regard to our injury situation, what team would you put out tomorrow that you think would beat Killie?

hickey smith Berra white

whelan irving

morison meshino mulraney

uche

 

on paper that’s good enough but as you say, football is not played on paper.

 

Quite a good situation to be in if you are CL, fail to get a result and it’s the injuries to blame. Get a result and he’s done so despite the injuries.

"We simply must win". The same was said before the Ross/Hamilton/Motherwell game.

The fans are angry because we're nowhere near where we should be consistently.

 

Competitive with aberdeen (currently) should be the bare minimum expectations at hearts.  If we were challenging for 3rd and getting into europe, no one would be complaining.

Is there anything that could happen to make Levein supporters change their mind?

what would be your breaking point?

I asked this question on this thread the other day and didn’t get any replies.

anyone able to give their opinion today?

[Jambos_1874]

I'm now convinced beyond doubt that there is nothing he could do to appease the fans. Even if he somehow managed to win the league I think everyone would say thanks but time to go.

[Mike Tyson]

Leave

[salvo69]

Dead man walking as even a run of wins will not win back the majority of fans....I don’t believe he is the right man for the job but it has been so frustrating having so many injuries we will never really know what could have been if the spine of the team played consistently...my life will not fall apart because we lost against St Johnstone but the state of some folk on here it’s their only thing in their life

[1971fozzy]

Dead as a dead thing.

only him, his shite coaches and Budge don’t see it.

so sad after all we have gone through and fought for to have it unravelled by one man and his ego and a stupid owner

[NB GIN]

Him and his whole team need to go 

Budge needs to go we need a fresh start 

 

There are some good players at the club 

[Thomaso]

“Levein Haters”

 

Aye it was all personal, bitter, unreasonable hate......

 

My arse! It was the realisation that Levein was an arrogant, negative, loser of a Manager who should never have been brought back to our Club!

[grumpyespana]

I have always been a levein fan but I am afraid he has to go before it's to late.

[Gordon Ramsay]

Absolutely nothing he can do to change my mind. Nothing. 

 

We are an absolute farce. We should basking in another failed managerial appointment by Hibs and at least trying to push the old firm but look at us. 

 

Being kept off the bottom by one goal.

He’ll turn it around...We may be in league one by that time but he’ll turn it around.

[vegas-voss]

I don't know if I replied to this thread already but it's a def no from me now.Even if we somehow beat Rangers in the semi I'm dreading where we will be in another full round of league fixtures as no doubt winning the semi would buy him that time.
