Levein’s time is up...

[Regular John]

The problem is our squad is jam packed the the brim full of average and hopeless players. We must have one of the largest squads in the league, but we’re talking about needing more.

 

A clear out is needed, particularly with the number of ‘promising’ midfielders and forwards we have. If they aren’t good enough now, which most of them aren’t they need to leave to be replaced with quality.

I’ve not passed comment on Craig Levein as to wether he should stay or go but I have read many many posts and posts that are now becoming more and more aggressive about his tenure . I would never say a manager should be sacked on the basis of one game , that would be stupid beyond belief , however his history has to be looked at and as of now CL record of first team results simply isn’t good enough. 

The work he has done at the academy is the stuff of dreams given the youngsters coming thru and that’s where I now think he should be . 

I’m told his record is comparable to cathros and I can’t remember too many voices defending him ( been told not double checked) 

I’m reading on other posts Hearts fans squaring up to each other , that isn’t good to hear , the divisions in the support has now got to the point it’s sad . 

I don’t think any manager will ever get the backing of 100% of the support but for them to be a success I’d take a stab in the dark that he’d need to have around 70% of the fans behind him , I wouldn’t like to guess what he’s got backing him at the minute . 

Ive always said a team is a reflection of the manager and whilst CL has a very good sense of humour he does come across dour and cautious . 

I’ll also add the players have to step up and work hard , they represent the finest club in football and whilst I don’t expect victory every game I bloody well expect effort in everyone , they are not blameless in this situation 

Didn't mean this to be so long I’m just so bloody frustrated at the product on the pitch at present , especially when the off field product is so good . 

 

You lost me with your ‘I’m told’ comment. Do your own research. Too many listen to what people are supposedly ‘told’ Particularly politcians words. Do your own research and make your own mind up. 

Following on from that re Hearts, go to some u15/16/17 or younger games, watch the reserves, compare that with the current first team and start salivating about what’s coming if we don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. I’m all for him not being first team coach, as is he, but don’t even begin to think that he hasn’t got our club heading in the right direction and very quickly as well.

No point in Levein going unless his backroom staff go to. Levein doesn’t take training and I suspect McPhee has quite a significant role to play in what tactics and team selection we adopt.

 

last season was terrible in the league, but the cup final performance bought the management some time. However, we really needed to hit the ground running this season or the fans would turn. We haven’t done so in the LC, so next weekend is huge. Another inept performance at Pittodrie and the discontent will rapidly grow.

When was our last good LC group/early rounds campaign? Can’t remember , it was so far in the past. League begins next week plus ko stage of league cup, that’s when it gets serious.  Let’s revisit in two to three months time. Certainly couldn’t countenance changing manager this week.

Little scenario - league form shit - Cup Final coming up - CL puts all other duties aside and takes proper charge of first team affairs. We compete despite not being at full strength. Cup Final ends go back to where we were before. Performances go back to how they were. Sums up Daly and Dix for me and the fact CL should only be DoF as its two big jobs to be Head Coach and DoF and shouldn’t be done by one person. 

Agree 100%. Is Robbie available?

You might want to wait 2-3 months to revisit, but many, and I suspect a majority, won’t wait that long. If we don’t hit the ground running in the league the atmosphere in the stands will become toxic, and from there it’s hard to come back.

 

The LC group stages haven’t been going for long, and we’ve not been involved in them all either I don’t think. But just because we were crap in the group stage under Cathro or Levein last season doesn’t excuse our pathetic performances this season. At least last season we produced one decent performance when we thumped ICT.

There's something in this, particularly since coming out of admin - or the Budge/Levein era. I've been watching Hearts since 1983 and we have had some of the most embarrassing results in the last 5 years. Two cup losses to part time teams - Peterhead and East Fife (albeit on pens). I only remember one other in the previous 30 years, Montrose in 1986. A European defeat to Maltese minnows. I don't remember a single Euro defeat to such a small team ever before. Two cup defeats to Hibs. Almost unimaginable after 4-0, 5-1, 22 in a row, 17 in a row etc. 5-0 to Livingston. Defeats of that magnitude to smaller SPL teams only come about once a decade I.e. 6-1 v Motherwell, 6-2 v St Mirren. The club in an immensely strong financial position, thanks to benefactors both large and small. Why are we making excuses?

You were lucky, had you been around five to ten years earlier your standards re embarrassing would have been much lower. 

Re Hibs, 0-7, 6-2 and numerous other drubbings are all there. 

Nothing new in what is going on at the moment other than progress off the pitch at first team level.

Good analogy. I also forgot to mention it's the first time we've went three SPL seasons in a row without qualifying for Europe in my lifetime. Qualifying for Europe is a good barometer of success for Hearts in my opinion. However, there's many Hearts fans these days who don't want to qualify for Europe because we might be out before July is out. We weren't worried about losing those type of European ties once upon a time, because we never did.

I hear what you’re saying. If we had a team that was achieving the kind of poor results we’ve had since November despite playing with drive, urgency, guts and determination, I’d probably feel better. In the days of Robbo, Mackay and Levein as player you would rarely, if ever, leave a match thinking the players cared less than the supporters. Now? I’m not so sure.

We didn’t play those type of games years ago because there were far fewer teams in Europe. You typically got good teams in your first round.

[merseyjambo]

I actually feel sorry for Ann Budge. She needed a football man when she came to the club and employed CL thinking that he was a forward thinking coach. She took on his ideas about getting rid of the manager at the time and some of the playing staff.

 

Appointing RN seemed like a breath of fresh air and in the Championship winning season we played some real good free flowing quick attacking football.

 

He followed that up with a fantastic start in the SPL playing similar football, then we got scudded by Aberdeen and things changed. We went with a more cautious approach to games. Very typical of CL in his first spell as manager.

 

RN left and things have gone on a downward spiral from there.

 

The problem she has is that the person who she would run all footballing matters through is the one that is causing the problem at the club. For her to get rid of him is an admission to 5 years of failure, believing everything he told her, buying into the boot room progression, the football decisions made, the money spent on transfers and wages. Everything. If he goes, the whole cabal needs to go and she would need to start from scratch. For someone with her alleged stated knowing nothing about football background, would she even know where to start. 

 

To to this day, I still refuse to believe that when Cathro went, the best shortlist we could produce was 2 ex Hearts Players with average managerial records at best, an odious little turd and Daly. If AB was genuine about the wonderful calibre of candidates, how did any of those 4 get through the paper sift. Who put the shortlist together??? Perhaps the issue with some of the other candidates was that our DoF wouldn’t have wanted to be shown up for the footballing charlatan that he actually is. Great player and servant to the club but was an appointment viewed with scepticism by some. His stranglehold on the club is killing it. You can’t even criticise his coaching methods as it seems he barely coaches them.

 

If CL cared for the club in the way he claims to, he would step down and allow someone else to take over DoF role and allow them to appoint a manager who is not afraid to actually go out and play football, employ different tactics and play to our strengths and with tempo.

You obviously weren’t around in 84/85 or your memories going but yes we finished 7th and yes your three stalwarts played about 130 games between them. I do remember having exactly those thoughts. First 10/12 games of following season was even worse.

We’ve not won the LC in my lifetime.

We were in the final a few years ago when St Mirren beat us, and had a shocking semi final defeat to ICT around that time too.

 

How is any of that relevant to how we’ve performed this season though? It’s yet another excuse being trotted out to defend mediocrity.

 

On the flip side, how many times have Hibs won the LC, been in finals or semi finals in recent years? Are you saying we shouldn’t have the ambition to at the very least be able to match the achievements of our lesser neighbours in the same competition?

Disagree with your 2nd however. All we’ll get is a pile of shite out of work managers and has beens if we invite CVs. 

 

We should set out to be ambitious and bring in someone young with good experience, ambitious and has had success at maybe a lower level. Ultimately someone who must share the clubs vision of promoting youth and developing young players. 

 

For me, Danny and Nicky Cowley would be near the top of the list of possible candidates.

Not so much a comfort blanket as anyone who has watched Hearts for a long time has a certain perspective on things because we know that we often have very good seasons on the back of very mediocre ones ad vice versa. 

 

They also know we can have very poor early season showings but have a very good season - and vice versa.

Its not about accepting anything. It's just that we are as likely to have a good season this season as any season. Folk who have watched Hearts a long time know that, no matter who's in charge.
