Enjoyed McPhees speech before the st Mirren game. Felt like he really got us, though in general the performances were grim when he was in charge.

He’s employed as club ambassador and, although he seemingly speaks better German than English, he looks to have a lot of enthusiasm in his role. I could well imagine him being very good with the hospitality customers. Always talks the club up, unlike 2 or 3 other previous players who are regarded as big Hearts men. Looks to be an upbeat presence around the club. Certainly better than being a “weary Willie”. I think Hearts would be struggling to find a better person for his current role. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyCant Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Felt a wee bit sorry for Levein. Obviously has the club in his soul but more or less admitted he did a pretty shit job. Hard for the guy. Gary Locke came across as an upbeat character. A PHM if ever there was one. The FOH committee ? Well let’s just be kind and say, first impressions,it could do with a bit of ooomph ! Overall though, they’ve managed to make something potentially interesting and insightful into a pretty bland reality show. Dunno if anyone, Hearts fan or otherwise learnt anything or saw anything to make them watch next week, although no doubt I will anyway.

I said we’d win 2-1 with Boyce and Wighton as the scorers. It’ll still be on there my pal. My predictions are all coming true.

RobboM Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I enjoyed it more than I was expecting. It's not an in depth analysis of the football but a view of the whole club. I'm happy enough to see the groundsmen at work, the women's team winning something, the shop looking busy, a wee peak at hospitality, some polite words from Mrs Budge, some shots of what happens with the media, some fans and their take on things. Loved the feeling of being back inside tynecastle on a match day the best though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlasgoJambo Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I can see why folk think this was a missed opportunity with all that has happened. A 12 part dissection of the season analysing relationships, tactics and dressing room drama, and going into the minutiae of every single detail as the likes of which are scrutinised on here would be fun for us and indeed some other football fans. But this is wide appeal Monday night filler to see a bit of what goes on at a football club in the same way we have programmes looking at how a cruise liner runs or a hotel - in that context I think it was pitched okay and the likelihood is that it will get more interesting to the general public as the curveball of Covid hits. I wasn’t expecting much and enjoyed it because of that - just seeing around Tynie was comforting after so long. I think generally we’ll come out looking okay (which seems to have riled some folk up on here). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't explain the coaching or player mentality though. Hearing "seven months without a win", did heighten my attention.

Pasquale for King Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Glad I did two interviews in the Diggers, and tried to keep calm during the first derby at ER whilst being filmed from all angles(failed miserably) , convinced others to be interviewed for it all to end up on the cutting room floor. That’s show business for you. I think Locke come over well and is in the perfect job nowadays, he genuinely looked bothered when saying Craig would be gutted when he was sacked, no hint of gloating. Macphee and his suit, slated for it but Neilson was lauded for wearing the exact same thing 😱🤷🏾♂️. I think Stendel pointing out his English was ok but he couldn’t understand a Scot might well have went against him with these so called journalists.

NANOJAMBO Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Levein seemed to end up doing a few things : he "ended up" taking the job because it was Hearts (BIG pause while he chose his rather unexhuberant response) and then he "ended up" splitting off his time between manager & DOF roles. Talk about damned by faint praise. I watched 20 mins or so on iPlayer - that was enough. It seems to me the producers have switched the narrative from the catastrophic football failures to the pandemic/demotion when I really was hoping to see what really happened during Levein's shit show.

This is what I'm looking forward to. Although no doubt no-one - Budge especially - can say on camera what they really want to say about the SPFL. We'll no doubt see some of the background to the discussions around wages and budgets etc as well as the legal stuff, but also how the pandemic affected the people who run Hearts - the groundsman, Stendel, players, Locke and the other characters introduced during the first episode. This actually might help show the affect of the vote on ordinary people behind the scenes, something the "Scottish football family" didn't seem that bothered about at the time.

Dr. Sheldon Cooper Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 The highlight for me was MacPhee shouting instructions during training to Meshino in Japanese 😂. But I do agree the consensus that he came across a bit of a knob. You can see how much Levein is hurt by what happened. The guy is as big a fan as us. Fair play to the groundsman as well. I'm in a similar boat and would be going nowhere near the camera if that was me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
