I think Levein will probably retire. His reputation is not good on the football front. 

 

McPhee will get a job  possibly abroad.

 

Maybe his mate JC will give him a job.

This is like Chrimbo Eve's Eve!!!!

 

Jokes a side, and no one to blame but himself, but what a sad state of affairs CL has left his legacy in/at...

 

Been done to death but for someone like me, soon to be 39 years young (!), I grew up worshiping him, Robbo etc etc and his legacy should have been cemented, and was on track up until Robbie Neilson left, and from there its been one helluva Hibsing it from him...

 

Bizarre and almost no logic to what he has inflicted on the club and the mindset fostered by the players, lead by him...

 

Sad, very sad 🙁

 

AM will likely, as others have said, not be tarnished outwith the UK by events and do ok for himself somewhere far far away from Gorgie....

I think that would be best for him but he’s pretty much always worked. I’d imagine he’ll look to continue to be involved in football at some level.

Hope that the review of the medical department and 'other things' have all been completed.

 

And that there is somebody suitably trained up to work with AM Sports on the vital work of giving them cash to organise links with Global Ambassadors and children's football teams in the Mid West USA.

For some reason I remember a story about Levein and Duffy being at a function and them nearly having a square go. Sticks in my mind.

Be a decent scrap in all fairness.  I can imagine Levein nearly having a square go with a lot of footballers, he’s not exactly popular.

Aye, there was that massive job McPhee turned down in (checks notes) India. Maybe they’ll be able to tempt him now.

 

Mind when the EEN printed that tale as if him not going to Delhi or wherever was some massive coup for us? It’s high time someone actually did some close analysis of him because it wouldn’t be pretty.

Still be a decent bout.  Neither to be messed with in football.  I always thought Levein reminded me of Clark Kent.  Then he was superman defender.

He was on millions at Scotland he sat tight and took when sacked (as he did Leicester, as he’s doing now) He must have a pretty penny. And you get told failure doesn’t get rewarded.

And the real reason?

 

He knew he was getting a hard enough time from the Hun fans upon his return. They’d threatened his family and all sorts after he left Ibrox.

 

Whilst it wouldn’t have been to the same degree, he didn’t want Hibs fans holding a grudge also.

 

He chose the easier option and the quieter life. I don’t blame him, tbh. He’d made his money.

 

The boy was Hearts daft. His family still are.

Doubt he's got a huge amount tucked away. Ladbrokes on the other hand "might" not have done too badly.

[Kiwidoug]

One more sleep.  I hate to say this but because of the way he has hung around on pay for 4 months, I don't think he should be welcome back at Tynecastle.  He obviously should have accepted his catastrophic level of failure and stepped out quietly.

I'm struggling to see what is "indeed" about the silly statement about failure being rewarded.

 

CL was replaced as manager some months ago and if we had sacked him there and then he would have received  full payment of his contract at a time when possibly cash flow was important to the club.  As it happened he was kept on and for the last 3 months  or so of his contract is/has been receiving half pay.  If we assume he was on £5k pw in his dual role that's around £30k gross he has lost out on. 

 

That's a funny way of being rewarded, don't you think?

As it happened the club could have furloughed him, as it did with other staff. Using your figures, that would have saved the club 30 grand compared to half wages. But it would have cost Craig £22500 gross.

Funny how CL bit the club's hand off, don't you think?

He really was sensational.  Not that I appreciated it at the time. Super Henry as last line when he somehow had to he been beaten. Great days. Spent every Saturday in the family enclosure with my grandad usually firing up the back because we got drenched in our season ticket seats.  Great days.

Levein is still being paid for being a complete **** up, losing the club millions. 
 

You’re the number one cheerleader.  Stendel came in and is taking no wage, while your hero is taking half.  What a ****ing hero.

And how would a lesser loss have rewarded him.

IIRC he accepted half pay before we accepted furlough.

[Whatever]

Let’s be honest. His departure will result in about 40 renewals.

Oh dear - when you're on the back foot and losing miserably let's resort to playing the man instead of owning up to your total failure to understand what went on.  Whether he lost or made millions is not the point here: it is whether he was rewarded for failure.

 

Pointing out a huge misconception in your post is hardly cheerleading, even your hero Michael Stewart would tell you that.

What Stendel did was magnificent, and Dikamona likewise, but again not entirely relevant.  You really need to try and put CL out of your mind as it cannot be doing your health any good.
