All roads lead to Gorgie Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 We sacked Gary Locke a huge Hearts fan and showed no sentiment there and he had a team playing with much more vigor and effort. Why Levein is still being trusted like this is strange situation with crowds getting fed up with the terrible win record and the style of football being produced.

TheOak88 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Budges loyalty to Levein is unwavering from what we have seen so far. Levein will be in charge for the rest of this season unless he decides to step down himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveins Battalion Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Losing the fans is the 1st stage,been pretty clear for a while weve had enough,losing the dressing room is the last stage,abundantly clear yesterday from performance and body language that something is not right.

The Gorgie Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 The fact he was a good player for us 30 years ago is irrelevant, it has absolutely no bearing on Hearts as a club today. Imagine if Henrik Larrson, by far one of the best players to play in Scotland, took charge of Celtic and was dishing up pish results after pish result. Would his playing days buy him more time? Not a chance, he'd be punted because the only thing that matters is how the club performs now. And right now we are a sinking ship with no rescue boat in sight.

Shelley Kerr was going to MacPhee for help with set pieces etc for the Women's World Cup. I think if you find her interview about it you will hear how highly he is rated for that kind of thing. Counter attacking defending is fair enough as we’ve been caught too much with that recently but thats a separate issue. Yeah of course. My point is that the complex nature of our set pieces doesn't seem to pay off much more than teams who keep things more simple in their approach.

Debut 4 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 15 minutes ago, Phil Dunphy said: Sentiment gets you nowhere in football. There is far too much sentiment in the boardroom at Tynecastle. That’s the feeling. When it comes to the nitty gritty, we are a football club and that’s all that matters. Not the cosy, over-tolerant environment that’s been engineered. Its coming to a head slowly. Thousands of Hearts fans who have followed the club for years, decades etc...who until now have bitten their tongue over the last while, are now showing their teeth. There’s a section of fans though in a bubble who think showing displeasure, protesting, or not going to matches is a thing of the past, it’s not fitting of today’s modern game. It doesn’t matter if it’s the 70s, 80s or the latter part of the Pieman’s era. Dedicated fans want a team to identify with on the park because that is their passion, their lifetime concern and they’ll do whatever it takes to get change. I don’t know many fans enjoying things just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GavK1012 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Im now voting with my wallet...in a perverse way shelling out 49 quid yesterday having made a thoughtful decision not to again buy season tickets due to Levein and Levein alone, vindicated my decision...first home league game of new season and the lack of verve...anticipation and atmosphere was drastic...the dross served up on the park simply matched that... thankfully I have plenty other ways to use my time and energy even though I would prefer to watch my team, FoH have to have a greater say now as its one of the few ways we can evidence to the club the level of discontent....

PaulHartley10 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 We'll sign a couple of players next week and beat Motherwell and he'll get another crack at it. Then he'll go on a poor run again until we beat Celtic or Hibs and he'll get another run at it. It's a vicious cycle. I like the guy but he's lost his edge.

He confirmed in the fringe show that he doesn't like Levein because he is "not a nice person ". A lot of Hearts fans can empathise with those comments And this is why I have a problem with Stewart. This has nothing to do with what managerial skills, or lack of them, that Levein has. It’s personal, so his opinions are guided by a skewed, ginger, paranoia ! I, like many others, paid money to watch both of them in a Hearts jersey and only one played like a Hearts player. Old patter, aye, but how else to gauge anyone. Levein was a fabulous player, Stewart, a disruptive influence on an already shaky team. I was glad when he ****ed off. When Levein goes, hopefully soon, it will be with great wishes for a great servant to the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point that looks unlikely, if not impossible. It will take a miracle really to turn it round, a win at parkhead is the sort of result it’ll take. A miracle.
