E6 Inc Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I really hope Levein isn't in the stands for the next few weeks at very least. It'll just cause unnecessary chatter over who picks the team etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same people who want rid of Levein, McPhee, Daly, Fox and Budge ASAP would then be up in arms when we’re skint. Levein has already been removed from first team duties and hopefully the coaching staff can be restructured between now and the end of season to assist our new manager, in the best way he sees fit to get us up the league and start afresh next season. Yes, it wouldn't surprise me if DS has been told that his only focus is to avoid the drop and everything else will be in place for the start of next season. Edit: Sorry, I think that's pretty much what you said. Edited December 12, 2019 by graygo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With one of the highest budgets afforded to a manager here, with the best facilities in our history, and the highest crowds in recent decades. He has put us in this mire through incompetence, pissing money down the drain on any players he took a fancy to, and continued to spunk money on giving Ridiculously long huge deals to players that were big risk (I do exclude Naismith). He was responsible for Cathros appointment , so adding it all up I fail to see anything other than total and utter failure. whilst we had a great start last season let’s not kid ourselves on here. It wasn’t exactly the same as the Burley era. I certainly do not hate the man, but if anybody performed like him in my workplace then I’m sorry they would be out. It’s worrying that Ann Budge (who I wholeheartedly support (Levein aside) and am thankful for) sees fit to give him this role , wether it’s for another 6 months or more. Time will tell, but as far as I can see after the euphoria of our new manager , to come out and tell us this is only going to put immense pressure on the squad , new manager, and future ST sales etc. He appears to have some unhealthy hold over her despite the devastation he has caused. How anyone can disagree with this I don’t know. Craig.....just **** the **** off. One new face in this utter disaster of a set up? Same failures hanging around? It literally beggars belief.

Gents FWIW I agree wholeheartedly with the posts and comments made by all More to the point I am actually at the point that I question anyone’s intent when they still try and defend him at this current point in time I just cannot fathom why any real Hearts Supporters will try and defend the guy at all. He has single handedly destroyed the club in everything he set out to do but still has the gall to remain at the club for the duration of his contract This is not a man who cares or LOVES this club as if it had been you, me, or any other supporters who at least cared in the slightest we would have walked away, without any re-compensation, and stated with fact that we were not good enough and had damaged the club as a result of our performance. Any real Hearts supporter and who was put in Craig Leveins position after overseeing the last 5 years would have done this. The reason he didn’t is that he is a mercenary and was more interested in his back pocket than anything else. If that isn’t the case give me one valid reason why he didn’t walk away immediately ? I dont doubt there are genuine supporters still backing him but for FFS folks, time to call a halt to that shit. I don’t take any pleasure in saying it, but for the umpteenth time how much damage does it take 1 person to do before folk stop getting blindsided by this Hearts legend pish and give him leeway I am fully behind AB and her new appointment.I think Stendel is our out and out hope of getting us out of this crap but hope to god that she started what she needs to finish and that’s getting rid of the dead wood and anchors on our back we have carried for the last 5 years. Not ideal,but clear them the feck out. If that’s what Stendel wants, give him the call. If we can waste 200k on Wighton we can waste the same paying him his severence which is obviously more important to him as an individual and rid ourselves of this negativity full stop might be a rant but I’m so happy with the Stendel appointment as much as I am so angry at not only the abject failure levein has presided over but also the mans so called meaning for the club as if it had meant even an ounce of feeling to him he would have walked away and for good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep hearing CL loves the club and wants the best for the club. As a supporter of 35 plus years I fully get and understand that sentiment as I am sure you and many others do as well I’m not being negative. Since Stendel was appointed I have started to believe again. Early days but I think this appointment might just bring out the best of us in a number of years What I am saying is, if I was Craig Levein, and had just presided in the ultimate failure he brought to the club I would have handed in my resignation immediately and allowed the club to use the funds to help Stendel if required. Why ? - Because I would care for the club more than my own back pocket that doesn’t seem to be the case with Craig Levein. This is therefore why I will call out folk who talk about him like he really cares for the club as on evidence he had the chance to prove that he really cared, but chose to remain and pick up the rest of his pay packet given the state he has left us in Not saying there is anything wrong with what he is doing but that puts to bed the argument that he lives and breathes the club as evidence would point to the exact opposite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4marsbars Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Must confess I haven't read the whole thread but just want to put on record that I have absolutely no problem that Craig Levein is still employed by the club, and making a contribution. I also think that Ann Budge has much more of a clue about how to run a football club than 99% of the people who post on here, especially me. Anyone who thinks that Stendel will be operating with his hands tied behind his back is completely wrong. On past performance, even if he gets us into second place next season there will still be people commissioning plane-borne banners calling for him to be sacked. Today of all days (general election reference, in case this thread makes its way into posterity) we remember that the world has gone completely and utterly mad.

That’s a problem for Hickey Sr in all honesty. Perhaps he could employ Levein as his sons agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev1998 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 The three parts you mentioned graygo,He's gave you his reasons for wanting rid of Levin and the coaches you tell me yours for wanting them to stay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negative people have to be emptied from any business, as keeping them around will affect others. Furthermore, I think Ann Budges timing of Leveins firing has antagonised a large proportion supporters. This latest farce in the Craig Levin saga has infuriated them even more. Finally, this is a distraction for Stendel that has no positives, and could undermine his efforts to rid ourselves of the mess Levein created. I wish we could empty negative people from this thread never mind the business lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innerjambo Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Maybe there's a place at the club for supporters who don't mind losing, and who persist with failure. We could call it the HMFC Mediocrity Institute.............thoughts?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bit where he states that some Hearts supporters wouldn't consider it a disaster if we got relegated? Or is it the cracker of a claim that supporters who actually support the club are damaging it? Slagging off Hearts fans is common from a lot of folk on here. And people can criticise the decision making and still support the club. God knows we have had enough practice.

I remember reading about this and it was CL that said that negotiations had stalled with him and hickeys dad and it wasn’t as easy as anyone thought That said, with Daniel Stendel on board, I hope that Hickeys Dad will now see sense and that his boy is at a club that is now going to progress and will sign a new deal moving forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you be happy if Levein was gone, negotiations broke down as a result of Levein not being here to head up the negotiations and Hickey leaves for free?

It'll just cause unnecessary chatter over who picks the team etc. Only among the brain dead. You'd be right if it was Daly, MacPhee or Fox taking the team but no way wi Stendel in charge Edited December 12, 2019 by Jamhammer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts1975 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 10 minutes ago, graygo said: Craig Levein offered to resign after Cathro and it was refused, what makes you so certain that this hasn't happened recently as well. The answer to that question is that you don't know. Ann Budge sees value in having him at the club, you don't. Mate. Ann Budge has us sitting at 3rd bottom of the league so let’s just say that’s she has made her fair share of mistakes and that her blinded loyalty has cost her to date That said, and as I said, I think recently she has just made one of the best decisions that she has ever made. I just would like a complete clear out of the old (if possible) and move on from this and get right behind Stendel, the new era and the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
