Coco Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Levein seems to think he is untouchable and Ann Budge seems to be completely in thrall to him. But perhaps we can expect the non-executive directors (including those from FoH) to do their job and recommend the departures of particularly Levein and MacPhee. 5 years is more than long enough and the football department under Levein has failed. Next week's next bye into the next round of the Cup shouldn't change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzroy Pointon Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I don't think we will win another game this season, including next week. It's an absolute piss take if he is here beyond pre season but unfortunately I think that's how it will be. The best we can hope for is that he moves back upstairs and McPhee or Daly are put in charge and we suddenly see a change in style. I doubt it though. Prepare for more duff signings, strikers who cant play or score, hoofball and injuries amongst other annoying things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to show the board that we want change and the only way to do that is voting with our feet. The next game against Rangers is live on the TV, boycott the game and watch it on the TV. They may already have our season ticket money but we need to do something to show our dismay. The football is awful, all we do is launch it to Uche and hope he does something. Embarrassing tactics every week and yet all our youth teams play terrific pass and move football. Time to go Craig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Turn Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 The target was 4th. We’re finishing 6th.

martoon Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 If we want to get to the Cup final, he has to go now. Genuinely fear the way we all feel right now will be repeated this time next Saturday. Poor tactics/team selection/feckless performance/spurned chances (if any at all) v. Fired up ICT performing out their skin has only one likely outcome. CL's removal and an emergency appointment would immediately improve our chances. I'm going, hope I'm wrong (obviously) but I fear not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s very depressing to hear that interview and he doesn’t see what we see . He seems ok with 6 th AGAIN . I’m thinking we won’t win another league game this season. Next week it’s 50/50.

You're spot on When a chairmen continually ignores fans concerns then it will inevitably end in fans voting with their feet Ann will be fully aware the fans have turned on Craig, yet still buries her head in the sand Cathro was binned with a similar record to Craig. The fact Craig is a director is a massive thing here, and the fact him and Budge are so close Levein is untouchable Levein is in total and full control of this club Ann takes care off bringing in money for Craig to spunk on player's and Levein runs the place with his massive Ego Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jodami Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Change would be a really positive thing for the club. Interesting to see their manager change their tactics midway through the game and how quickly they moved the ball in transition. That is management and coaching in action. I sit behind their dugout and they remained calm throughout. Hibs look to be reacting positively to an almost anti Lennon approach. I think we have reasonable players who would perform better under a different coaching regime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merseyjambo Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Football managers have a shelf life. Arsene Wenger was seen as one of the great innovators when he first started at Arsenal but he stayed too long and his methods were overtaken, Jose Mourinho was the same. People now want guys like Klopp and Guardiola. CL’s football style is outdated. What i cant understand about him is that when he played in a team with John Colquhoun as one of the best wingers that’s played in maroon, why he has done zero to get us a bit of quality in on the wing. Why sign a player like Wighton when we were crying out for a winger. Hopefully the silence from the Boardroom is a positive in that they’re not happy with his performance in the job and are ready to give him the curly finger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
