Levein and MacPhee left on May 31st ( updated )

[baxterd1974]

He took 50% wages, whilst having no real job and whilst our actual manager took nothing.  That was a final nail in the coffin as far as I am concerned.  Anyone in his position with any moral fibre would have walked right at the start of the lockdown.

A sad ending to his time here.  If only he had taken the decision to go after the Cup Final his legacy would have been different. 

With the cup run we had and the teams had to face regardless of horrific league form it opened up for a perfect goodbye, ignoring and papering over the massive cracks - give a new guy to work with the biggest ever budget the clubs ever given a manager.  But no, not him.  And the. Didn’t even less when this season turned to shite.

@JamTarts

for my time there even if it was for a short spell. The fans stuck by me when I had glandular fever & sent me a lot of positive messages which will stick by me forever. My loan didn’t go as I planned as me & the club had goals and ambitions. (1/2)

"For a year or so now I've been looking, and I realised to get to the English Premiership, where I wanted to be, it would be difficult to do that from a provincial club, which Hearts are."

 

I wonder if we'll hear from him this time around?

Looked very promising. Would take him back in a flash. Good luck Toby. 

[18Jambo_dave74]

Fantastic news, great to see it confirmed by the club this morning.

[mitch41]

Now the vast majority of our fans are happy that Levein and to a lesser extent McPhee have left Hearts.

Now the  3 main priorities before we can look forward to playing football again.

1. Raising funds from Season Tickets, Donations, Our new Strip, FOH, and Business inverstment.

2. Taking on the SPFL and the League clubs by League reconstruction or in the Courts.

3. A world renowned football expert or organisation to reorganised the football management department.

Nah he is.  He’s done less damage to the club than Levein has though.  Levein has set us back years, Jackson writes in a fanzine JamboAl reads. 

On line, my friend.

It helps to know what muck spreaders write so one can be prepared.

I even read your posts: that's how low I stoop sometimes.

 

PS I'm sure you will not only read it but buy it as well.  There's a strong Rangers bias Laff.

Mothy I admire your loyalty to Levein I really do. His second spell ended after almost an entire year of unrelenting misery on the park, which you have acknowledged, and this understandably upset the vast majority of our support particularly as relative to our peers in the league we spent decent money on what turned out to be duds. Major mistakes were made. In time the rawness of this period may have dulled due to his previous service as a fantastic player and decent manager in tricky circumstances when he first took over. However, what particularly galls me and probably a lot of other people is rather than walk away when he was removed and forego the money due on the rest of his contract because he had made such a colossal mess he chose to hang around and collect every penny. If he was truly Hearts, a fan from childhood, he would not have done that and you could argue if he had any humility he wouldn't have stuck around either. Now some people might say, ah but would you have walked away from that money in his position, a fair question in some ways. Levein has compared to many of us here earned a lot of money in recent years, particularly when you factor in the Scotland pay off, he could surely have afforded it. To put this in perspective I would compare his actions to Gordon Strachan (a guy who I have very little time for to be honest) leaving Middlesbrough. He tore up his contract and walked away with zero compensation as he admitted to making a mess of things in his time in charge. Levein has never uttered a contrite word in public never mind walked away with nothing and ultimately that is why he will be viewed as a pariah forever in the eyes of many fans. 

Well put.

You would’ve thought he would realise what a province is, seeing as he comes from one.

If anyone thinks Craig Levein will now have noting to do with hearts following his contract expiring really doesn't know how deep into this club he has his claws.

I just can't bring myself to hate or even dislike Levein. As for McPhee? I don't really get the hate for him at all. I agree Levein's time was up and he should've been gone sooner, I'm not blinded by my respect for him. But I just really can't bring myself to dislike them.

 

The truth is, it is quite sad that it didn't work out and that Levein's legacy at the club ended as it did. Deep down, he loves Hearts and hates Hibs so he's alright when it boils down to it. And at the end of the day, we've all realised recently there's a bit more to life than football.

 

Stay safe and healthy Craig and enjoy what I guess is retirement. Best of luck for your future career Austin.

This is where I am at. Levein is a jambo for sure but he outstayed his welcome, which normally always happens, and is the one reason I don’t want Robbo back.

 

All those wanting Robbo back will be baying for his blood if results don’t go our way. Just don’t want anybody who has a real connection with Hearts to be welcomed back, and sadly for me Levein is in that category. He majorly ****ed up for sure, but there have been many terrible decisions behind the scenes as well. Budge has made plenty huge monumental mistakes, but as a fan I’m still behind her, why wouldn’t you. Too many fans take things just too personally with individuals. 

[daftie]

Typo - Just don’t want anybody who has a real connection with Hearts NOT to be welcomed

Those who wish ill on him are out of order just as those who are praising him to wind up other Hearts fans.

Perhaps we should have a poll? We haven’t had a poll involving Levein in weeks.

 

Maybe a poll about how long before he comes back in a new role?

 

That should keep the thread going for months.

I am not a Levein Bile Spewer either and that comes from your hatred within.

Despite all your septic utterances, guess what?  It was all in vain and a waste of your hot air because he left on the day he was contracted to leave as contracted to leave.  Your disgraceful attitude has achieved, nowt, zilch zero.  Loser! 

You say you support the team.  We'll soon see, now that he's gone  - until you find another target

 

 

 

Not a fanboy? Don’t make me laugh! 😂Every thread where NUMEROUS Hearts fans criticised Levein you were right in there with your usual brand of arrogant sarcasm, some of it that was disgraceful.

And what did all your support of Levein achieve? A team and structure created by Levein that left us on the threshold of disaster! The big “loser” on here is you and your fellow fanboys who have been found out for the idiots you are.
