Captain Canada Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 It's crazy though when you see how unbalanced the squad still is. We had 4 left backs, 3 right backs, 3 senior keepers and 5 strikers. Sadly lacking pacy wingers and creative midfielders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was unlucky to be dropped for Mitchell, who was a bit of an unnecessary signing during Levein's signing spree that season, but I guess he wanted to make sure we had enough left backs given all the injuries to them!

HMFC01 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Just thought I'd post that incase anyone's interested. Emphasis on Lee. Quote Hearts-linked duo set for sports leadership Lee McCulloch and David Weir have just graduated from a top sports leadership course. McCulloch is in advanced talks to become Robbie Neilson's assistant boss at Hearts while Weir has been heavily linked with the vacant sporting director role. They both completed the two-year Master of Sport Directorship (MSD) from Manchester Metropolitan University. McCulloch said: “I felt I wanted to accomplish something that was out my comfort zone. I’m not a very academic person, and after meeting the MSD tutors and staff I decided to take the challenge. “The course itself was rigorous and enjoyable and I met a wide range of professional sports people, which really helped the learning experience. It was a journey of learning about myself as an individual, in group environments and also my leadership skills and style.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
