Given this thread was started by someone further angered by last nights result can you explain why Levein being at a reserve match had anything to do with St. Mirren winning at Fir Park.  I agree re everyone coming together but I also think that would happen a lot quicker if a number of posters could let go of the past and look forward  for a change. Every thread on here degenerates into a negative anti-Levein, and Budge, tirade then argument. Hardly helping us pull together. Time to accept where we are, we have no alternative on that one,  and pull together and move forward in a positive mindset. Jeez, that’s what everyone is asking from the players so why can’t the fans do it as well?

 

( I know the answer to that question but don’t want to negative) 

Why ask it if you know? Both are negatives, one can be removed.

He's not the manager, he's not a coach, he's not the Director of Football, he's not an ambassador.

 

He's been tasked by Ann to sort out the medical team, not sure how that's gone. Not sure how much of a help he was securing players DS wanted as him and MacPhee had their own targets. Plus he told folk at the gates of Riccarton they weren't wanted in the first team anymore.

 

So he just waltzes around in his Hearts training gear as if he's still part of the integral setup of the first team, which he clearly is not.

 

He got sacked from his job, it's desperation from him to cling onto anything Hearts. He really should've been told to go completely.

 

If Hearts win the cup, will Levein do a John Terry and run onto the pitch in Hearts training gear hoping to get some credit?

If it was the "leather face" comment I am proud of that one.  She seems to be untouchable.   If Budge was a middle aged man she would have burning effigies on the Foundation Plaza before every game.  This board from midnight to midnight is abuse.  Either personal abuse or abuse to someone somewhere. Players, ex-players, celebrities, politicians, absolute indiscriminate abuse.  For some absolutely ****ed up reason the person doing the most damage to our club right now is immune.

 

I tell you, if only people were to hear private chats with me and my pals, or other fellow Jambos or read whatsapp groups on my phone they would spontaneously combust.  4 billion women on the planet and I despise one and I hate them all seemingly.

 

Of course the fact that I worshipped Budge at the star does not suit their argument, surely I would have hated her form day one purely based on her age and sex.  This place is a ****ing minefield.  I just do not know how bad things have to get before people wake up to the ‘Budge effect’.  I think we could be playing on Saughton council pitches under the name The Hearts 2021 and people would still get mushy eyed over her.

 

Utterly bizarre behaviour.

 

Some folk will never criticise "queen ann" as they can't bare the thought that she is damaging the club and needs to be chased out immediately.

 

 

She gave us a loan so that we could save our club, we have now paid her back plus a nice amount of interest for her.  It's time for her and levein to both **** off and we can begin the process of turning back into a football club.

The fact that they were on the other side of the pitch tells it's own story.

It does indeed. They were standing,and the other players were sitting at the point closest to changing rooms. Dugout was other side of pitch. Now I’m not a football guru but if the Manager and two assistants are attending the game I would have thought at least one of them would have been involved along with Fox. Only Gallagher, Fox, physio and one other in the dugout. 

[Austin MacGlee]

It's hard not to be angry about all of this so I get where i8 is coming from. I love HMFC and hate seeing what's happened to us. It is only sheer incompetence that has led us here. Last time it was serious financial peril and mismanagement. This time it's all the wrong people getting massive decisions wrong at crucial times. I was listening to the Scarves Around the Funnel podcast this morning and Laurie and Mark just breezed past the absolute shambles going on at our club. I was fuming that they played it down "oh we'll deal with that another day". I don't understand why more fans aren't angry about what's happened to us over the past few seasons.

I'll probably get some stick for this but Stendel was the wrong man to get us out of this. I really like the guy and desperately want him to succeed (obviously) but I wanted Neil Warnock the minute we let Levein go and I genuinely believe if we'd got him in we'd be well safe and probably pushing for or in a top 6 position.

Instead, the powers that be thought the best solution would be to take 5 (6?) weeks in the middle of the season to appoint a guy who doesn't know the league, whose footballing philosophy doesn't suit the massive squad of injury prone players at his disposal, knowing that he wouldn't be able to do anything other than apply sticking plasters in the January window and who didn't have his assistants in for weeks and weeks following him getting the job. I feel for him, he's been handed a horrible task and I feel like he never stood a chance. 

Trying to rip it up and start again in the middle of November was a ridiculous decision and was doomed to fail. We should've gone for strong and stable. Even if it meant a less cavalier and exciting brand of football to Stendel's, we should've played it safe until we were safe and then ripped it up and started again in summer.

Levein and MacPhee still hanging around is as baffling as it is embarrassing. I have always been a big supporter of Ann Budge and still hold her in high regard for her part in our survival from oblivion but she has to be held accountable for her management at board level. It's not good enough for a club of our standing, size and stature.

I genuinely fear for us if we go down and keep our structure as it is. It's a shambles and I doubt we'd go back up first time of asking. Hibs and Dundee Utd are living proof of what happens when you're relegated due to incompetence off the pitch - it's not an easy thing to bounce back from.

The first team governance at Hearts is really bizarre and given how shit things are it makes you wonder if Levein's presence is undermining Stendel, especially if Levein is talking to first team players featuring for the reserves.

 

If Hearts get relegated, I think it is a certainty that Levein will be reappointed by Budge as manager.

 

I think it will likely happen before we are relegated. Could even be next week.

You could fill out 2 columns, credit and debit. However, the nasty thing for Ann, the cost of the debit could ultimately be more than all of the credits combined.

 

As I've said in other threads, she has put in place over the period of time, an infrastructure that should be recording success. Its a fantastic achievement what she has done physically and logistically. Stands, academies, proper departments, accountable and streamlined, a professional outfit as it should be, that had be run into the ground prior to arrival, a complete rebuild from scratch. 

 

That should never been forgotten or tossed aside when history recounts.

 

Her debits are obvious, and it really boils down to one thing (person).

 

His personnel have not delivered, she was too slow to dispose and too slow to appoint. Her timing this season has been clueless, however I suspect she feels badly let down herself, the amount of time and effort expended to offer a budget 2nd to none outside of Glasgow. She delivered for her staff, they did not repay her in kind.

 

The money for the womens team is insignificant, barely scratches the paint of what has been invested in the mens team. Utter pish to believe that is any sort of factor, our budget is up there with Aberdeens now, where it should be in the 5 years gone.

 

In short she has put the tools in place, unfortunately Levein was no longer up to the job, a difficult personal decision, where she has sat on the pot for way too long has cost her far more than goodwill and placed us deeply in the shit.

 

Ultimately she is responsible, her downfall was not making that call in the summer. Kindness is a weakness they say, looking that way for us.

Good post, on the money for me.

Possibly but given he is probably working his notice what does that matter. I would have thought that Stendel would want someone who understands his system working with Damour, Cochrane, Smith, McDonald, Avdijaj, Langer etc. 
We certainly didn’t  seem to be trying to play a high press yesterday so other than physical and match fitness for a couple of players what was the point.

Is he not only allowed to be at the club after lunchtime to keep him away from the first team and the job that he’s left Stendel to do? He shouldn’t have been there at all, it has nothing to do with the tasks he’s supposed to be doing. It’s Fox’s job to shout at the reserve team, not the manager or his assistants, like Levein being around it just confuses things.

It was a 1pm ko so depends on when his lunchtime is. A friendly against a Dundee youth team is hardly important. Who knows, he may have looking at Dundee players for recruitment purposes. They certainly had two or three very useful looking boys. Answered the Fox comment in another post.
