Smoked-Glass Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Thinks it will strengthen hibs this year. Anyone hear the podcast? LJ has dreams and plans about how to run the H1b5. It might apply to a well run club that can accommodate an ambitious young manager...but not H1b5. I predict he will quickly succome and be dragged down by the badly the Hibernian way.

OTT Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 LJ might be good. But history suggests Hibs and good don't work. Also, Levein thought Roger Arnott would make a good job of the academy... pinch of salt eh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bongo 1874 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Hibs will play more attacking under Lee, that is fact, whether they can get the likes of Porto behaving himself on the pitch and Nisbet and Melkerson firing remains the question.

StevenNaismith Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Having spoke to many folk I know within the game about LJ, he’s a very good coach by all accounts and many expect him to be a success but they all have concerns about the structure at Hibs and how he will operate within it. Most of us know the basis of their set up but it’s apparently far more complex than we know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Scottish football may suit him. His career looks inconsistent but he’s not necessarily been at many clubs (Sunderland aside) who were regarded as teams who should be main challengers for promotion in the English Championship. Time for Neilson to be bringing all the experience he’s gained/gaining and take a step up as a manager himself and dominate the rest outside the OF. There’s no excuses.

Bull's-eye Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Mr Levein still resides in a few punters heads I see. He's entitled to an opinion, personally couldn't care less what it is of course and with his well documented history of making comments, let's say " to incite debate", it's probably not his opinion at all.

corryjambo Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 That will be the same Craig Levein that thought Loic Damour was worth a 4 year highly paid contract.

I mean shouldn't that be a prerequisite. I’ve always thought that’s all well and good, to have a style of play, if you can get the players to do it. I think that’s what Stendal struggled with. Sometime you have to play with the players you’ve got. Which might be tough if your signing don’t deliver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I'm not knocking Levein the player, he was excellent and barring injuries would have played for one of the top English Teams. He apparently failed medicals for both Rangers and Spurs. IIRC. His time as Manager (2nd time round) and DoF were utter disasters and we're only now getting clear of his mistakes (Damur 4 year contract ending).
