Shyster - a person, especially a lawyer, who uses unscrupulous, fraudulent, or deceptive methods in business.  Seems the term wasn't tailor made for him at all.

 

No one is working harder than Craig Levein to rebuild our club.  If you had an IQ above 10, you would never write such pish.

 

God is a strong term but he certainly a club legend.  He was top, top drawer as a player, brilliant as a manager first time round and has been excellent as our DOF.  In time, folk will realize just how good he has been for us but others, such as future managers, will get the credit.

There is not one suggestion that anyone should be fired for ill health in any of my posts so please don't fabricate. 

Your first paragraph suggests that things should be left alone for a season as any change is an inconvenience in Budge's last year. If you have ever been involved in transition of ownership you would understand that this would be a short sighted decision. You want to run the business in a normal fashion with the same goals as any other year. 

I'm an accountant and fully understand the impact fixed income has on budgeting, retaining and growing your customer base has been a priority in every organisation I have worked in. It's not difficult to understand that decisions are influenced by these factors. It's also why I am particularly alarmed at how much money has been wasted on the football side. Dead money on players who have barely kicked a ball for us. 

I have renewed weeks ago for my son and I and we are FOH contributors. If you care about something it's natural to be concerned, change is nothing to be afraid of. 

Oh, I thought you said money will decide and you balked at the idea of CL coaching part time which may have due to a health situation.

At least we've cleared that up.

I don't care if you're an Accountant or not (you get good Accountants and duff Accountants) but you appear to have missed the fact that the club is soon to be taken over by the fans and it would be short-sighted to install a new regime before then with all its attendant costs.  If you accept that why the hell do you keep on moaning?

Today was unlucky due to a player that beyond me gave the ball away , not

even tackled, that proves player to get pulled up by the hearts board, pretty obvious 

his 1000 pound a week should get downed to make an example, wont happen

[Shanks]

Hopefully he can bow out by getting us some silverware.  Then we can appoint an actual management team and get rid of the committee that has failed so badly for the past few seasons.

[busby1985]

Hearts won’t win the cup under Levein. The man is tactically inept and even after a full season has no idea our strongest 11 or best shape. Today he’s risked several first team players in a meaningless bounce match, 2 have been subbed off injured, one out for a long time if confirmed. Two weeks ago he was told by his star striker that he felt his hamstring go, Levein put him back out for the 2nd half and he lasted less than 2 minutes. We have not won a match in 7 games, the worst run for 6 years yet people believe that won’t matter going into the cup final. Crazy. This is Pat Fenlon’s Hibs all over again. 

 

People saying the work he’s done behind the scenes? What work? It certainly isn’t improving the players he has at his disposal. Clare/Wighton/Lee have made the same mistakes all season long. Souttar looks like he’s actually regressed this season. Uche doesn’t score goals and 9/10 looks like a headless chicken. He’s not improving the squad we have and it could be argued that he’s stunted the growth of some of the younger boys that featured last season with this bursting at the seam squad he’s assembled. 4 or 5 more players look to be coming in the summer, that’s more players blocking the route to the first team for this raff of amazing youth players we apparently have. So please, someone tell me the great work he’s done? Remember we where told from youth level to senior side we’d all play the same style and formation so that it created a conveyor belt of talent ready to step up. Talk me through the top teams style of play and philosophy? What is it? 

 

I never seen Levein play, or I wasn’t old enough to appreciate how good a player he was but I really don’t understand the people so determined to defend him. Robbo is a club legend and arguably the greatest player the club has ever seen, he’d struggle to remain as bullet proof as Levein. I have no idea how anyone can defend what we see on the park, it’s MILES AWAY from acceptable. Back to back 6th place finishes. 2 seasons running we’ve finished below hibs. Home form is a shambles, away from home not much better. Players injured nearly every week. Players playing with injuries nearly every week. Something fundamental is wrong at the club. When you strip it all back it comes back to the same persons door, Craig Levein. 

 

The only way he can remain at the club in any capacity after the 25th of May is a cup win. A cup win is the only thing that can make up for the truly horrendous form for near 7 months. We need to become the first side in a long time to win the cup coming off relegation form. We also have to beat a side that haven’t been beaten in cup competition for over 3 years.

I do feel despair though with less than 6 days to go to a Scottish Cup Final that any one of us can start off a post stating that we will not win the cup. Of course we can; it will be challenging, difficult and let’s be honest unlikely. However all said and done we are up against a side that has beaten us comfortably twice, lost to us once and twice defeated us by a single late goal with this manager and this squad. There is nothing in that record that says we won’t win the cup.

Yes I agree, anything can happen in a cup final and I hope it does. I believe you make your own luck and this is the first cup final we are going into where I just feel the whole mood around the club is awful. That usually works it’s way down onto the park. Hope am wrong.

1976 was awful. 1986 was awful. 1998 our form slumped prior to the cup. 2012 was pretty awful too. Only 2006 I would say had a good feel prior to the final.

98 we had just run Celtic and Rangers close and had a squad filled with quality. 2012 we’d knocked Celtic out the cup and hadn’t lost a match to hibs that season, pretty much everyone including hibs knew we’d win. We’ve not won in 7, fans are spilt over the manager and there is tension between some fans and the owner. Our best player is injured and 2 or 3 other players may well be injured as well. This is the worst atmosphere going into a final I’ve experienced.

1976 was far worse. In 1998 we has lost momemntum and an important game at ER. In 2012 we were just poor for large parts of the season and we were all completely dillusioned with Vlad's reign.  Why can't all the Jeremiahs just wait until after the final to do the post-mortem?

Star striker! If you mean Uche then his goal record is pitiful, he can’t pass, hold the ball up or realise it’s a team game. Yes he does a brilliant impression of desperate dan but that’s about it. Uche is a classic CL type player who would never have got a game for Hearts under Walker, McDonald, JJ, Neilson or Burley. Players like Uche, Vanacek, Martin, Sammon, Oshinawa, Amanakwa are a measure of how low the club has sunk under the current management

1976 was awful. 1986 was awful. 1998 our form slumped prior to the cup. 2012 was pretty awful too. Only 2006 I would say had a good feel prior to the final.

Went into 98 final absolutely bouncing mate. Great season and after the finals in 96 you just felt it was coming. 2012 was also hugely exciting given the greatness of the Beattie semi and the fact it was Hibs!
