jayjay Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Absolutely pointiess Thread. Let’s be honest the only way Ann Budge will take any notice is when people are temporarily stopping their FOH payments. Moaning on twitter and Kickback will not get rid of Craig Levein. He’s under absolutely no pressure at all. White noise on social media and a wee 30 second boo here and there. It’s a shambles. It’s time the fans forced the man out the club. Stop feeding money into a broken machine. Fix the machine then the money comes back. There is no other way Cos whilst I have a hole in My Arse Craig Levein will neither resign or be sacked without drastic action from the very people who pay his wages!!!

Half time pie Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Left the game feeling numb. Another wasted afternoon watching total rubbish. Will not bother my next few home games, as will a good few season ticked holders I sit beside, until fundamental changes are made with the management set up. Waste of space.

I can only hope the board are getting it together right now to ensure we get the right man to take over for next season. Of course it was never foreseen that things would get so bad we’re dragged into a relegation battle. I am still going with the assumption that won’t be the case when we (if we ever) get players back from injury. Although i’m Mindful of the 98/99 season when we somehow managed to end up fighting for our lives with 6 games left. That means him blowing the biscuit tin in another transfer window. Im not up for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m still going to head through in hope rather than expectation but I did end up cancelling a bus, which was provisionally booked, before money changed hands after some passengers decided ‘no thanks’ after yesterday. The thought of spending a good wedge of cash on tickets, transport, food and drink - only to be put through another non-performance (and let’s face it, Levein’s record against Rangers is honking) is pretty understandable. ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 If he played the players he had for today in their correct positions, (As we moved to in the second half) we would have won full stop. Hicky is a left back. Smith is a right back Berra, Dikamona are Center backs. Everyone knows what they are doing and comfortable (well maybe not Berra). Hicky and Smith would have bern able to get forward and help the wingers. They had one up front and nothing else so why play three against him? Same about playing strikers in strikers positions. Total waste putting the best ball player up top. Involved loads more when he dropped back. its so obvious from the story. When we were forced into a sub early, we should have made the change (well we shouldn’t have set up like that in the first place. no excuses 100% on the manager. He must go for that.

In year 9 of the Levein 'rebuilt' academy in 3 and a half seasons time he wasn't expecting us to produce a better midfielder than this journeyman bits and pieces player.

buzzbomb1958 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Ann Budges reputation is slowly being eroded by this clown all her good work is being flushed down the pan ,she's fiddling while Rome burns ,I honestly think Levein has got himself into such a position within our club he's untouchable maybe threats to withdraw FOH contributions until he is gone may be the only way to make budge make the only decision open too her .Having not won a game in six months at home is incredulous His record is a stackable offence at any other club ,only at fortress Tynecastle it's a ****ing reward scheme it's laughable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it became clear that the club was about to go down the tubes after Romanov, we have enjoyed a period of massive support and goodwill from the fans. I would say almost unprecedented. The fact that there are 8000-odd people putting extra cash into the club every month is almost unbelievable. Yet in this period of solid foundations and financial security, we are almost at the stage of the club sticking two fingers up at the support. The goodwill and the legacy of the last six or seven years are being pissed up against the wall.

jambogaza Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 The opinion across the support in relation to CL is broadly very clear. And it's in no way knee jerk or reactionary. It's the result of chronically poor results. The fact Budge is sitting there doing nothing about it is an absolute ****ing disgrace. What else could we possibly do to get the point across to her? Can't emphasise enough the anger I feel towards this set up at the moment, emptied my pockets for the club along with many others and this is what we get back. Disgraceful.
