Who knows? Might do alright. Might be shite, might be a revelation. Fact is, sacking the manager on the eve of a semi against a team with a vastly better squad wasn’t going to get us a result. Surely people can see this?

 

Too many people were obsessed with sacking Levein instead of wanting a plan put in place to improve us.

Our tactics were embarrassing. 
 

Absolute wee team mentality, wasting time after 10 minutes, a million pass backs, zero attempt to attack with any purpose, no pace, sitting admiring rangers pass without pressing. 
 

It was cringing in all honesty and not what I expect from a Hearts team but, sadly, too often the norm these days.

His cowardly starting 11 and game plan said it all for me. We need rid of people like him if we're to improve.

it’s been that way since Cathro was appointed...

 

I could count on one hand the amount of times

we have actually went for it...the 4-0 game vs Celtic being probably the sole time I can remember in that period.

 

The full coaching and fitness team need removed...as well as quite a few of the first team squad, namely:

 

Maclean - should never play another game

Wighton - nowhere near good enough

Bozanic - negative beyond belief

White - Poor

Brandon - not good enough 
Doyle - Poor

Zlamal - Poor

Morrison - not good enough, can’t cross a ball.

Mulraney - not good enough, can’t cross a ball.

Clare however, I’d like to see what a different manager could do with him first...but it would be last chance saloon (same with Damour).

I would. Tactics were woeful. McLean selection deserves the sack in itself. I wouldn’t have minded if he’d come out on Friday and said ‘look, I’ve failed too and this job needs to go to someone else’ but he was genuinely talking as if he thought he had a chance. He’s a joke.

Yes tactics were devoid of anything. Maclean just beggars belief. He won’t be our next manager and our problems are bigger than we think. We will be in a relegation battle this year. Nothing to look forward to accept staying up. For me the blame is firmly with Levein. Far too many shite signings to note.

Cannot believe he started McLean. Absolute madness.

[Rudy T]

Why anyone was expecting the guy who trains the player day in and out and had input into our team selection for 2 years was going to turn a performance today is beyond me. Ann can now get rid of the lot of them and go find someone who can get the best out what’s left of this squad. Get us to the summer and empty the absolute shitebags who have put in half arsed performances for a year.

Anyone who thought sacking Levein was going to turn our fortunes around is an idiot tbh. We will hopefully appoint someone who does, but alas too many were more fixated on getting rid of Levein than bringing in better.  

Levein has left a total shambles behind him so there is no chance fortunes are going to turn immediately but the first step to recovery was removing him from the Club.

As for “bringing in better” that will be the duty of Budge and her advisors. Let’s hope she chooses wisely this time!

100% correct. Today proves where we currently are but we are in this position because of what has went before 

the 1st step to recovery was taken last week. 

 

For some to even suggest that that getting rid of Craig 2 days before the semi final should be more a vindication of what he has left behind rather than anything else

Best ignored.  Mcphee was not a bright hope and he did nothing today to dispel that notion. He needs to go too and thus the thread.

What an opening statement. Getting rid of Levein is the first step on a very long journey do undo the damage he has caused. 

 

Better what ?

 

And that smiley ? Jesus wept. 

[Debut 4]

Tactical genius put Wighton in ahead of our best CF available. What was the thought process or was that CL putting two fingers up as his last act? 

 

The laddie is so out his depth at Hearts. I know he’s back from injury but we saw him before that. A good scout would take 5 minutes to tell you he’ not good enough.  

 

Timid , ‘nice’ player.  Nice doesn’t win you football matches.

Guy's an absolute myth. The first team coaching decks should be cleared completely.

 

When interviewing the shortlist candidates, I'd also ask "Do you think Wighton is a player?" and anyone who does anything other than burst out laughing should be told "thanks but no thanks"

how about we let the new manager decide? Think maybe they might want to have some sort of handover from the caretaker coach?   It would be crazy to sack everyone now and leave no one to cover.

They’re all hopeless. No incoming manager needs McPhee to tell him how to look busy while contributing feck all.

[OldGorgie]

Something really sick about those who want McPhee sacked. Did they really think that any group of players put together by Levein could get a result today. McPhee has been left to pick up all the shit left behind by Levein. Club legend!  club *rsehole would be more appropriate. Yet Spewalot and JamboSally were still defending Levein right up to his sacking.

Heard him after the match saying he’s only had two days to work with the players. Eh, no. You’ve had 3 years and you are  just awful. Cheerio.

Correct.

 

We have one of the best right backs in the country, so we played him at centre back. Yes, I know it worked at home to Rangers, but that was on a tight pitch at home to a mis-firing Rangers side.

 

We have one of the best left backs in the country, so we played him at right back. And we player Aidy White who was just awful all game.

 

Bozanic is a woeful player, yet he started.

 

Maclean ahead of Uche was bizarre to say the least.

 

As for starting Wighton...

 

Brutal performance but exactly what i expected when I saw the team.

 

Massive overhaul of coaching setup required.

Typical JKB strawman argument there - nobody I can see is specifically slating him for losing, but anyone who thinks that's as good as we could expect the team to play, or that the lineup he picked was one with any chance of beating the Hun, needs his head examined.

Exactly this, but the roasters who seem to think that being a jambo is about 'getting behind the team even on a website hours after the game's finished' aren't interested in argument or discussion, just bleating about how they're better fans than other people.

[Sheriffs]

Was expecting a reaction today with players and team picker  looking to prove a point.

 

It proved to me that removing the manager wasn't in the best interests of the club currently.

 

It's going to be a long road ahead that's for sure.

Obviously we have had horrible injuries and not been easy for Levein and Austin to luck settled team. 

After watching today’s setup and listening to interview after game I think the 2 of them think they are some kind of tactical genius.

Or maybe one of the main problems is Austin worm tongue in the ear of Levein

Don't know what you or anyone else was expecting today. We were comprehensively beaten by a team which is cash doped by an owner who has been described by a judge as an accomplished liar, and which runs an unsustainable debt.

Fwiw I thought AM handled the tactics as well as could be expected in the circumstances,
