mitch41 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Hearts had better have no dealings with Brechin City. No friendly games, no loaned players, nothing at all. If Levein gets on the phone wanting anything our new CEO, Joe Savage, Neilson etc have to be told in no certain words The Answer Has To be Sorry We Can’t Help, Bye.

Yes, but there is some advice that isn't general, that's dependent on what's happening at the time and for which an advisor may be required.

However, for whatever reasons, he simply wasn't up to the job the last time around. I'll remember him fondly as a player and for his first managerial stint. I can appreciate why others dislike him so much, but there's certainly no hatred or dislike from me now, I'm just glad that he's moved on.

thewiseone Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 To those posting about it not being a paid position, I'm not worried about him and his balance, after all there must have been some reason behind his relentless wheeling and dealing ,subjecting us to some of the most baffling signings I've witnessed in over 50years. When things don't add up in a football sense then looking beneath the lines we are fed, soundbites and smoke screens you usually discover not all is as it seems in the finance department. Hope they've extended the changing facilities at Glebe, they're gonna need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tian447 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) Craig Levein suffered from believing his own hype and not knowing when to throw in the towel, but probably was swayed given his own support of and affiliation to the club. Yes, he should have stepped down long before he did, but if I was the manager of Hearts, I'd be reluctant to give up the position as well, and would definitely "outstay my welcome" if thinks were looking bleak, not because I thought I could turn it around, but because I wanted to turn it around. That being said, he seems to be a hard person to work with, and a lot of the backward steps we took were likely down to how he interacted with players. Look at the Vanecek saga, we were on the verge of paying money to get him early, he's here a week (and by no means looked as shite as he was made out to be), fell out with Levein and that was the end of it. He seemed to have an "in crowd", with the likes of Berra, that have been causing us problems long after he was no longer the manager. For everyone quick to cast him out and call him a snake, a *******, a whatever, for what happened in the last year or two of his time with us, should remember that there is a lot of "Levein History" that comes long before that, where he was a top player, and gave his all for the club - but anonymous social media make it very easy for people to shout loud and stupid, and reach a large audience with an agenda. His history with the club needs to include all of it, and not just the disastrous bit at the end. If he wants to go and do a job with Brechin City, that's up to him. I can't imagine there are a lot of clubs out there actively thinking he's the answer to whatever managerial problems they're having, and none of us in the same position would be turning down jobs if we were out of work. Good luck to him, whatever he does there will have absolutely **** all impact on Heart of Midlothian Football Club.
