McGarci Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 If we looked back the time since CL comed back: after the economic problems -In championship he signed neilson (his best decision, and maybe the only...), the team prometed easily with really good signings, a strong team, but, who decided the players, CL or RN? - after promotion, a strong championship squad with some new player, the team finish in european position his first season, no doubt was a big success - after that, wrong decision by wrong decision, bad signings (and too many), neilson departure, cathro signing, more extrange and large signigns, later he came back as field manager, defensive tactics, more extrange and large signigns.... finally a exciting begining last year, when everyone though we can fight for europe, and a strange drop till know... this summer again more strange and large signigns, and bottom of the league.... He has promoted some youth jambos, some of them look decent for the team, but they has disappeared (macdonald, cochrane, morrison), instead of them we have a big team with 25 players, where some of the arent better than youth players, dont play anything and still CL is signing more (brozanic, garuccio, dikamona, wrighton, white etc etc) *** sorry for my english.....xd*** 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levein did well to steady the ship after the Cathro fiasco but its been a year long slide now and it's clear there is no plan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From an outsider point of view it’s hard to tell. I'm not sure how the stats bear out but it never seemed like a Cathro side could compete with Hibernian whereas Levein's derby record isn't actually that bad. Having said that Hibernian have been on the slide since then which is probably the biggest contributing factor rather than us catching up with them. To answer your question, it's got to the stage where I'm not sure. Both are huge underachievers for the budget being spent. The frustrating thing is we have signed some good players but Levein can't get a tune from them. He also should shoulder some residual blame for Cathro getting the gig before him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dons_1988 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Cathro couldn’t even fulfil the ‘home win’ rule in Aberdeen hearts fixtures, which probably makes him the worst hearts manager in history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I am spanish, I lived close to haymarket the year of relegation , firstly a suit man shown me tynecastle and after that I went 3 or 4 matches (I remember cup win against QotS and lost against st mirren in league). since this day I follow hearts every I can, and try to watch a match in the stadium every time I visit edinburgh. my first match I remember that ask the man who sit near me if all the players names jamie....xd (macdonald, walker, hammil) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(appreciate even if he was he would have still technically been the manager) You’re probably right. On that serious point of his health, the board are doing him no favours here. He’s clearly a proud man and not a quitter. But he is also clearly not doing an adequate job (with the first team) considering the resources he has. In that situation for the club, for the fans, for the players and for the man himself, he should be asked to step aside. It’s what would happen in any other business. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seventeen23 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Hopefully the players can work a bit of magic on Sunday, no confidence in CL to motivate them. 2 strong centre midfielders (likely Damour and Whelan) and wee Meshino to start and we have a slim chance. On what min will Uche collect his regular booking? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
