Thomaso Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Ann We all realise that was a tough decision for you but you know it was the correct one for the Club - although some will say it was 6 months too late. So Jambos it is a new dawn - reinstate those FoH payments, buy up tickets for the semi, and turn up in numbers at the next home game to cheer our team on!

kila Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I didn’t think it would happen, certainly not before Sunday. Also assumed he’d go back up stairs. So I am quite surprised she has finally pulled the trigger on his time at Hearts (even though he’ll be involved with academy etc until end of season).

Selkirkhmfc1874 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Better late than never but finally she's taken the correct decision for the football club !

The sad reality is we will get humped on Sunday so there was no point hanging around any longer. You never know though we may get that famous bounce, followed by a tight hamstring for the final. 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he'll be watching from afar the first team training and nipping in people's ears. Well I hope not, but wouldn't surprise me if he were to go on holiday now and get some sun, maybe not even attend Hampden on Sunday...

Cruyff Turn Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Saved face by sacking Levein imo.
