Nothing to shout about really. Your question would seem to suggest that if you didn’t play for Hearts it Manage the Club you have no right to criticise a Manager who presided over a disastrous run of results that left us fighting for our lives with a strong chance of being relegated - is that correct? And yet you are happy with a manager who has taken 6 points from 30? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not looking to get involved in any sort of arguments or anything but can I ask a genuine question. What defines a club legend and what someone has put into HMFC, especially when you are looking to make comparisons between someone who has been lucky enough to be employed by the club and a fan of the club. People employed by HMFC are being paid by HMFC to do a job, they are effectively getting money coming out of the club budget. People who support HMFC are putting money into the club, they are effectively creating part of the budget the club has to continue operating. The term legend, when used when talking about a player, what makes a player a legend. Just playing for Hearts, working for Hearts presumably doesn't make you a legend, and I'm guessing it is a term reached by fans based on what they remember about the person being given that accolade. There are differing opinions on Craig Levein's time at HMFC and I think it is fairly accurate to say the differences all relate almost 100% to the period Craig has been employed by the club in a non playing capacity. I think the number of fans who would have much to say negatively about Craig Levein as a player are few and far between. He was very good as a player, but did what he achieve as a player mean he sits at the status of a club legend, did he achieve anything special/unique as a player, again that is down to opinion. He didn't win anything as a player at HMFC, so in terms of legendary status does that put him behind all those players who were involved as players in 1998, 2006 and 2012, for example. As for management at HMFC, again the club hasn't won anything while he has carried out that role, so in management terms he has to be way behind the three managers who were in charge in the cup winning seasons you would think, again depending on what attributes create the actual status of club legend. I think HMFC fans put a lot into the club, time, effort and money being only three of many components, but I'm not sure any of them will ever feel they are legends, except possibly in the eyes of close friends, and very often only after they have passed away. While I'm not a big fan of the term legend at all I also think it is almost impossible to make comparisons between what employees and fans put into the club.

The word "legend" is banded about too much. And for what it's worth, there are different types of "legend" John Robertson is a legend because he's one of the top ever goal-scorers in our history. Henry Smith can also be classed as a legend purely on the fact that he was the main goalkeeper for around thirteen years so appearances alone make him, more than Rousset, Niemi or Gordon. Same with Gary Mackay. Most appearances in a Hearts jersey. Then there's the Cup winning teams. Every team that wins a trophy can be classed as a team of legends seeing as we're a club that doesn't win trophies very often but, when you look at them individually, are Danny Grainger and Ian Black Hearts legends? Jim Jeffries is a Hearts legend. Stayed loyal and played most of his career in a poor Hearts team but came back as manager and won the Cup. Left and came back again when Laszlo was sacked and got us in third place with loads of games left and uncatchable. Rudi Skacel, Stephane Adam and others are all legends for their contribution, not only winning the Cup but consistent throughout their time here. Is Craig Levein a legend? Probably not. Well, not to me. He was one of the best defenders I've ever seen wear the famous maroon, no doubt about that but if it wasn't for injuries, he would've been off to another club without a moments thought about Hearts. John Colquhoun was probably the best £50k we've ever spent and was one of the best wingers I've ever watched playing for us. The ultimate professional who didn't whinge and moan about being ruffed up every week, just got on with it but was he a legend? There are loads of examples but everyone has their own "legendary" status in their mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The legend definition debate has been done to death really. I suppose it’s subjective to the individual really. For me his overall contribution to the club over a great many years through success and heartbreak puts him in that category. Player and manager, he has been through some of the best and worst times with our club, from 1986 to Braga, he’s put his life’s work in to HMFC. Whether you, Thomaso or myself think he is a legend or not is perhaps irrelevant anyway though. What is for certain, is he deserves more respect than he gets, and he should always be welcome at Tynecastle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can still picture JC's strike against Sellick on his debut, a goal that would have won the game and, as it turned out, the league were it not for McStay's late equaliser. He was a great player for us in his first spelll but he is indeed Sellick-minded so if our record appearance holder, Gary Mackay, who has paid to watch his club at home and abroad for many years, can attract personal abuse from posters on here, then the likes of Colquhoun and Levein should certainly not be treated as protected species. I doubt whether either have paid to watch us. Some on here need to separate the character and person from the footballing memories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultras Granata 1874 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I started watching Hearts in the 80s and JC, Mackay & Levein (easily the best defender we've had) are absolute legends in my eyes. Much easier to be a pundit than a manager though and only one has tried it. CL absolutely loves this club and he obviously didn't deliberately put us in this position, he had to go but there's no need for the hatred towards him on here.

Relegation form doesn't only apply if you are in the relegation zone. People talk about relegation form as being barely any points during a given period. Just as IF Barnsley were to win all their remaining games that would be promotion form even though we'd not reach the play offs.
