For the record I’ve been reluctantly coming round to the view that he needs to go for a wee while now, but just never voiced an opinion on here either way...until today. There are are many on here that have had an anti Levein agenda for too long, perhaps you thought I was one of them. I can assure you I’m not. ...and finally, I ****ing loved the result on Saturday. What a difference it made to my weekend. But the problem (as I see it) is that these decent performances seem peppered through a sea of turgid, pedestrian shite. Just my view tho ??

Dennis Law Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Typical of Craig, tactical failure in Glasgow yet again. Then tries to shift his failings from the media spotlight by publicly ripping Vanecek up for not being at the required standard and at the same time conveniently forgets who signed him. Previous patterns of this behaviour throughout the season with Garrucio another favourite pastime for Levein. Excellent man management skills!

Captain Canada Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) His comments after the game were a joke. I have zero managerial experience but I posted on another thread last night why his tactics were wrong before kickoff and it panned out exactly as I described unfortunately. It's a huge concern if he thought Wighton and Clare would hold the ball in and ease the pressure on the defence. He's had the opportunity to bring in cover for Uche and signed a guy who isn't capable of getting fit. Plan A is completely predictable and there's no Plan B, despite him having free reign to reshape the squad how he wants to. He doesn't seem to want to learn from his mistakes either, just write games off because one or two players are injured. It's hard to make a case for him staying on when he is so set in his ways - ways that are achieving more poor results and performances than good ones.

Kiwidoug Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Wonder if he's already decided to leave based on his health scare. I doubt that. I had a minor heart condition too and I was fit as a fiddle after a few weeks. It Is tested every 6 months and it's as strong as a horse. I've even been withdrawn from ongoing medication. Doesnt mean levein is the same but I doubt if his health is a factor. If we lose the next two games, I think he'll be shown the door at the end of the season. If we win them, I think he'll be staying and i think that's a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

innerjambo Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Top 6 is an amazing achievement. Just goes to show that, given the right manager, and the right application, we can definitely avoid a relegation battle. This will no doubt push our season ticket sales beyond 14k surely. I don't get all this eyebleeding football, and he doesn't know what he's doing nonsense. If you focus on the pitch, concentrate, and have 6 or 7 pints before the game, it's actually not that bad.

It is just not going to happen! Levein is Teflon at Tynecastle - I thought it a huge mistake that Budge made him a full Board Director as he wealds too much power. Even If he steps down as Manager he will just go upstairs and control our football from there through coaches that dance to his tune. I read that FoH want Budge to stay on and she will get the final say on all major decisions - that means Levein is here to stay. Depressing.
