Levein’s time is up...

My interest has slowly dwindled over the last 2 years. When Levein walked back into the club, I remember thinking that it was going to be painful to watch all over again. I wasn't a fan first time around,  and this has made me dislike him even more. My expectations are zero no matter what team we are playing, and it will continue until he's gone completely. 

I agree with your expectation levels, I too have no confidence against any team. ATM.

It could well be a good thing, going into the SC final.

Funny. Isn't that what so many insisted about Robbie? Or JJ in Glasgow? 

 

Why - we must be the unluckiest club in the world to have so many "shitebags" managing us.  

 

Riddle me this. Derek McInnes has been in charge of a top 3 side for the past six seasons. In that time, he's won one League Cup (on penalties, against ICT), and lost a huge number of games to Celtic and even Rangers. Why is that? Is it because he's a "shitebag"... or is it because it's actually really really difficult? 

He has finished 2nd for 5 consecutive seasons and reached several Cup Finals. Overcoming Celtic, as we will soon discover, in a Cup Final is no easy task,  however, the level of consistency he has shown in the league proves him to be a superior manager to CL, who has led us to 6th place finishes for the last seasons.

He’s had more wins in the last year against the OF in Glasgow than Levein has had in his whole career, still waiting on his first home victory. Neilson and JJ both won through there too.

Need a new manager.

 

Neilson 14-15 - Promoted

Neilson 15-16 - 3rd 

Neilson/ Cathro 16-17 - 5th

Cathro/ Levein 17-18 - 6th

Levein 18-19 - 6th *currently and likely to remain. 

 

 

Doesn't make good reading. He's had 3 windows since Cathro to remedy the situation. He's not done it.  Neilson certainly jumped too soon and threw a spanner in the works with his leaving, but Levein has not improved us. 

 

Based on Budge not allowing Levein to be removed from the club - Options.

 

1.) Stay the course with Levein at the helm. 

2.) MacPhee and Daly take over with Levein returning upstairs.

3.) Ask Neilson back. 

 

I'm utterly at a loss with this.

 

 

MacPhee has to go as well.

He's had too much involvement in all this. 

I'd give the Job to Daly and Fox if there was no chance of a new guy coming in. 

[DH1986]

A heavy defeat on Sunday and he has to go.

 

We need someone who can lift the players to give us the best chance of winning the cup.

 

With CL and Co at the helm our chances look to be diminishing by the week.

Levein survived the 5-0 pumping off Livingston. Unfortunately, There's not a defeat heavy enough that would cost him his job.

 

He's untouchable.

He's won 6 points out of a possible 69 against rangers in his managing career. That is embarrassing considering these last few years have given us the worst rangers sides in history. 

 

Look at Hibs record against the OF in recent years and look at their players, our squad is better than them imo and they piss all over us in terms of results v them.

 

Killie have a better record than us v the OF in the last couple of years too on a fraction of a budget of ours.

 

stop with the excuses and just accept we are humpty and utterly gutless.

Fan power would surely see him removed. The supporters are the most important thing at any football club. If we really turned against Levein he would need to go, a few more bad results this season and I can see it happening 

[Calebs Grandad]

Simple solution is appoint Roy Hodgson and sign Benzema on a precontract offering £4,500 a week and 2 bed flat in Wheatfield Street at a reduced monthly rental.

I'd give MacPhee the job if no one new is coming in. The one part he's had a big involvement in is set pieces and they have actually been fairly successful. Let him have a go at implementing a style as well. He always seems to want the team moving forward quickly when he's on the bench on matchdays

Is austin not a risk in the same way that cathro was though? Can we afford to take a speculative punt again.I'd say we are better bringing in an established manager.

Fully agree. I don’t mind losing, i’m a hearts fan so I’m used to it, but it’s the gutless performances this season that have really pissed me off. I paid £30 to watch us play Celtic at Parkhead in November to pretty much accept defeat before kick off. Same goes with the two games at Ibrox this season. So many games both home and away we’ve just not bothered our arse. People are paying thousands of pounds to follow hearts up and down the country and the performances and attitude of the manger and the players are nothing short of a disgrace. Levein may end up continuing as manager for the next couple of years, and if he does then attendances will suffer. People, myself included, no longer enjoy going to Tynecastle. Earlier this season I couldn’t wait to go, I was counting the days down to Saturday and now it’s almost a chore. Hibs, while we may not like to admit it, are a great example of why you should make a change. Before Heckingbottom came in, their fans were just apathetic towards everything, didn’t enjoy going to games and their attendances were suffering. They’ve now brought in a new manager and he’s injected new life into the club and they’ve completed turned their season around and could possibly end up in Europe after looking desperate just 3 months ago. He should get until the end of the season, but no matter the result of the cup final he should go. We haven’t progressed in over 3 years and some may say we’re going backwards and it would be hard to disagree with them. 

 

I’m the complete opposite. I don’t mind being beaten, I hate losing.  Theres a subtle difference!  We've lost too many games this season cos we were cr@p, not because the other team were good. And that does my head in .....

You have to remember that Levein by his own admission is not involved in day to day training and only gets involved a day or so before games to sort out tactics. That won't take long as it's just a hump up the park for Uche.

 

With that in mind why are we so poor at the basics such as controlling a ball and making a simple pass not to mention making runs into space.

 

We are so predictable it's unreal so just remember that it's Daly, Fox and McPhee that take these players for training all week.

 

If Levein goes then the whole lot should go and start afresh yet again.

Fingers crossed for a mass clear out. 

 

The way that Levein constantly looks at Macphee for guidance on the touch line, makes me wonder if he's the manager at all.

Nobody can deny him that honour after overcoming the mighty Livingston, Auchinleck Talbot and Partick Thistle at home and the mighty Inverness in the semi final by playing some scintillating stuff.

 

Hearts fans should be on cloud nine with a cup final to look forward to and that is quite telling in itself.

[Bull's-eye]

Nobody wised up to the fact that the only teams to really have done a number on us consistently are Rangers and Celtic.

 

That's the 2 teams in the league that are better than us, they're bigger, they have better players, more money etc etc etc.

 

Apart from the Livi aboration away we could have gained many more points, fine margins in most games, home and away. 

 

The season fell apart when it became rather obvious to everyone that the depth in our squad isn't quite what everybody on here imagined. Of course we're short of quality, that's the way it is. Howling at the moon every time we get shown up for being an average team in a very average league is pathetic.

 

I'll just keep enjoying watching Hearts and salivating at the countdown of a cup final while the Screwballs lose the plot after every game thankyou very much.

There is no doubting that we played some decent football after a pretty ropey start in those dreadful cup games.

 

We had a full compliment of players and as such we were a bit lucky with the way the fixtures fell for us for a change and nobody knew how to cope with Uche until his injury.

 

Winning games breeds confidence and the team had that so needed little motivation unlike now when the heads go down CL does not have the style and motivational skills to get them wanting to play for him and it would appear that neither do his backroom team.

 

Since we have had the series of injuries CL has shown the lack of quality in his squad signings and inability to change his style of play.
