Sorry, it wasn’t the refs fault.  The result that is another x in the loss bracket is mainly own doing.  A ten minute great spell doesn’t change that. 

[Finlay James]

One defeat at Aberdeen and we're now suggesting Billy Davies as an alternative to Levein 🤦‍♂️

 

When Levein leaves, it won't be Davies replacing him.  He's not had a job in 5 years at any level and this is not a coincidence.

Billy Davies is, by any definition, THE most accomplished football manager in existence. 

All football clubs on Earth are so scared of his talent and ability, he has not been a football manager since 2014. 

Klopp and Guardiola also know this. 

 

 By any definition?  Or by Billy Davies’ definition?  Or are you just tying to argue with yourself now?  

 

Like I said, he’s probably finished.  Was a good manager, but his issues / behaviour likely mean nobody will touch him now.

 

What have Klopp and Guardiola got to do with it?

Levein’s time is over

[Voiceofreasonfortheseason]

Anyone blaming Levein for today is desperate to blame him for anything. A young lad made a mistake to get sent off and then we made a daft mistake for a penalty.  He made a crucial change at the right time when Naisy and Washington came on, changed the game. Strangely I am still optimistic for the season. No doubt I will get shot down again on here.

Totally with you. Hickey doesn't get sent off and we at worst draw the game today. 

 

Another tough game v County up next but one we should be winning. Those are the games to judge us on the most. Confident after today and with a possible player or two to come in.

Yeah

He had a full week to prepare the side for what ever Aberdeen threw at us today, we conceded after 13 minutes. The first 60 minutes, until Naismith came on, was a disaster. No one had a clue what they where doing, no tempo, no

desire, just sluggish boring football, that we have seen for months. Naismith comes on, makes an instant impact and for 10 minutes, out of 90, we look like a side with a plan and the bit between our teeth. 10 minutes later tho we are a goal down, a man down and end the game in the same fashion as the 60 that went before Naismith coming on. Naismith shouldn’t be relied on as heavily as he is. That’s not a positive to take from today. It only highlights how nothing has changed from last year. The people so desperate to defend Levein and his inability to get the best out this squad is embarrassing. What do we do Monday to Friday? Aberdeen played 90 minutes on Thursday, we had 7 days to prepare for today. If the plan was “let’s try hold out till we can get Naismith on” then games a bogey. If someone wants to try talk me through the game plan before Naismith came on, am all ears. We are a shambles and there is only one man to blame. People said after we got beat by Arbroath “pre seasons are just about fitness, ill judge after the United game” we then fail to beat united “i will judge after Aberdeen” tonight it’s “first game of the season away to Aberdeen and we’ve scored two, ill judge after ross county”. I have no idea how Levein has managed to subdue so many of yous into accepting the crap we see. It’s been 3 ****ing years of this shit. It was Murrayfields fault, Cathros team, too many away games, summer rebuild, January rebuild, too many youngsters, too many injuries.........what needs to happen before people wake up? 

 

Billy Davies can bolt as well.

It’s saying something that this thread is 225+ pages long. This tells you all you need to know. It well and truly is last chance saloon. 

 

I’m in favour of complete restructuring as this current setup has been given time and has thus far been bang mediocre average. We haven’t tasted success for 5 years. The last totally positive season was the championship win.

Dunno what your point is. Rodgers was at Chelsea, then Swansea, then Liverpool, then decided to boost his CV by winning seven trophies in Scotland. He’s now back in the Premiership with a team that won that league - against all odds - a few years ago. 

 

Levien has pottered about in Scotland, made a James Blunt of managing in England and the Scottish National Team. Sorry to repeat myself but what is your point?

I know that. And at no point did I ever say or suggest that we could ever attract the calibre of manager that Brenda Rodgers is.

 

What I did say - if you’d bothered to read and understand my post - is that we could attract a manger who has won something. That in itself might actually foster a winning mentality within the club that is more than “being around the European spots”.  There are lots of managers, of varying nationalities, who have managed and won things, in various countries and leagues, who I have no doubt would apply for the Hearts job.

 

If your point is that we should employ someone with no track record of winning anything in the hope that one day they might spring a surprise and actually win something then we’ve already done that. His name is Craig Levein.  If you are suggesting that at some point every manager has won nothing until they actually win something then I would agree. However, there is nothing in Levein’s DNA or managerial track record that would suggest he is capable of that.

 

So, attention risk of repeating myself. What is your point?

I use the term might because - and you will know this given you’ve spent 10 minutes googling uses of English language - not having an insight into the future, I cannot guarantee that to be the case. What I can say is that evidence suggests people who have a track record of winning things tend to win things. Levein has won nothing, and doesn’t look likely to win anything.

 

Now, if you are going to ***** about googling things why don’t you try googling “how do I talk some sense in relation to football when it’s clear I know feck all about the subject”. Let me know how you get on.

[shaun.lawson]

Billy Davies is flattered by the interest of some Hearts fans in Billy Davies' availability. The last time Billy Davies was this flattered by interest in Billy Davies was when Tommy Sheridan invited Billy Davies for a three-in-a-bed romp with Anvar Khan. Billy Davies can confirm that Billy Davies gave a world class performance on that occasion.

 

However, Billy Davies would also like to remind some Hearts fans that Billy Davies has been out of football for 5 years. This is because, in Billy Davies' last job, Billy Davies turned into a paranoid, gibbering, clothes pegs up Billy Davies' nose pants on Billy Davies' head wreck, in which Billy Davies employed Billy Davies' cousin as Billy Davies' closest advisor; Billy Davies fired loyal club staff for no reason; and Billy Davies blamed media conspiracies for Billy Davies' team being a complete laughing stock. That just wasn't good enough for Billy Davies. 

 

Billy Davies, who replied "Billy Davies does" at Billy Davies' wedding, would like to rule Billy Davies out of the running for the Hearts job. Because it's just not good enough for Billy Davies. Billy Davies would prefer to sit murmuring to Billy Davies' self and rocking back and forth in Billy Davies' rat infested bedsit, where Billy Davies dreams of the good old days, the highlight of Billy Davies' career: when Billy Davies masterminded the worst team in Premier League history. That just wasn't good enough for Billy Davies either.

People trying to pin yesterday on levein need to get a grip. I called for him to go after east Fife but yesterday was a different matter. We competed with Aberdeen and almost got the win, if it hadn't been for two poor individual decisions - decisions a manager can't control from the sidelines.

There should be an additional league set up for almost won, and narrow defeats imo

It could be for certain fans, managers and coaches who think they're really good, but they're really really not.
