I have this awful feeling that he will get emptied next week - I think they are just keeping him until they limp to the end of the season

Just don't see how they can do it. No money to pay compensation packages anyway, but main factor is that Levein and Budge would have to admit they had panicked at bad results and then never gave the guy a chance to sort things out over a close season.
So imo Cathro will be staying around!

A loyal, KB, Jambo perspective :

"It is with a heavy heart I write this. While I have had a pop at some players in the past I have always done so with great reluctance. On this occasion however I feel fully justified in telling the playing staff of this club that you are an utter disgrace.

While many may lay a lot of the blame at the coaching staff, and rightly so as results simply haven't been good enough, it also needs to be acknowledged that the playing staff are an utter embarrassment and have let the coaching staff, club and supporters down.

Never in my 45 years of supporting Hearts have I seen a more gutless and spineless group of players playing for this club. The lack of effort and desire is appalling and you should be ashamed of yourselves. The quicker the club ends any connection with you the better. Thankfully better times are ahead and your contribution to the club - the little that it was - can be forgotten about.

Stroll on June when we can get rid of these imposters."

Not a happy place.

We're drifting into open letter territory now. Things must be more serious than we thought.

Think they should keep Cathro and re-sign their new stars.

The next step is kicking a wig with a blue rinse at the back of the main stand.

Too late now but really fancied the plane over Tynecastle. Cathro must stay!!

I hope you are correct but I'm preparing for the worst.

I don't think they can afford to empty him. Him and his hippy assistant have 3 years left on their deals so a tidy pay off there.
They can't afford to fit out their new stand so what chance paying to get rid of him?

He will get a close season to get his own players in, that I am convinced and happy about as the guy is useless.

They're in a real bind as due to the timing of his appointment, I can't see them sacking him now - had he come in at the start of the season I don't think that there's any doubt that he would be gone long before now as they would obviously be in relegation trouble without the cushion that they had built up under Neilson, and the support would uniformly want him gone. Surely the only reason that anyone in their support remains optimistic about his chances of success is down to the fact that they were never likely to drop out of the top six, so could only fall so far this year. I think only a real humiliation from Celtic at the weekend could see any action taken this season.

I'm sure that Hearts will still have a decent budget for next season even with the stand situation, but I'd imagine that there must be at least some reticence to back him with the full available budget given how poor he's been - though if Levein is indeed pulling all the strings transfer-wise, then there's no reason not to, I suppose. It's not totally outwith the realms of possibility that he still could come good, but it seems less and less likely with every defeat. Given the weak mentality of the team, and the feeling amongst their support, teams will fancy their chances against them at Tynie (traditionally home games are worth a large amount of points per season for even the poorest Hearts teams), and their away record is awful.

On that note, a good start to next season is essential for him - but with so many away games at the start, that is an even harder thing for them to achieve. It must be at the back of Budge's mind that money may well be required to relieve him of his duties and acquire a new manager, fairly soon into next season. On that note, his seemingly unshakeable confidence in his ability and 'I won't quit' attitude is good news for us, as I can't see him resigning. Fan pressure may well change that, obviously - though it would be a big thing for a guy to walk away from that level of compensation.

Interesting times ahead

Pray for Leigh.

I know he loves rattling in goals against them but he needs to see the bigger picture here.

They won't rush into an open letter straight away - remember Vlad taking all their cash for shares? The only protest I have ever seen is one guy kicking what he thought was a Russian hat.

What will happen is several maroon cardigans will gather together in the bowling club snug, where they normally watch the games and they will discuss outline terms for forming a committee to consider the wording of a letter. They will then go into a period of hustings where the cardigans will get a chance to spout a bit importantly and emphasise their maroonness, once that happens a committee can be proposed and a chairman and letter writer appointed.

By that time Father Dougals contract will have expired and the "big" stand will have seats and not much else installed.

Have it on good authority that they have asked Lothian Buses to do a business plan as they want to keep the route going

Hopefully not as serious as it sounds. Johnson has two years left on his deal and is not very good. Don't want the yams to have an easy way of getting rid of him.

I actually think johnsen is a decent player, wouldn't mind if we had him tbh

[Ozyhibby]

Even his own players are laughing at him.

I'm concerned that Agent Cathro has deviated from the plan by having so many losses this season. The idea was to show enough promise that he could bring in his own dud players on long term deals before starting the losing run.

[SuperAllyMcleod]

Can someone post the picture of Cathro as a puppet on Potters knee please

[greenginger]

And to add to the farce they're putting on a comedy evening as a fund raiser.

I may not have my finger on the pulse, but I've not heard of any of the acts on the bill?

[G B Young]

I so loved this trio of posts from kickback from a couple of months back that I thought I'd dig them out again:

The players just dont respect either of them, the s******ing and giggling is still going on in the changing room.
No respect, no fear of a bollocking, just a complete mis match.

This is a FACT. I heard that Djoum and Struna gave Cathro a wedgie and he started to cry. When MacPhee told them to stop they just laughed and then Jamie farted in Cathro's face. Then Levein had to intervene cause Tziolis and Avlonitis wrote "Cathro is gay" on the dressing room wall in Greek. Everyone was s******ing.

If these are stated facts by an eye witness, Cathro is not the one who should be fired, the players involved must be in breach of contract if such behaviour is true, and advised that their contract is cancelled forthwith. The way the team is playing they could sign laddies from the primary school league in Warriston who would be more mature, and give greater effort on the field. If I was a Hearts player I would be ashamed to show my face if I was part of it, and equally ashamed if not a participant that I didn,t take action against at least one of the participants. Yes before anyone asks I do think in my time I was a hardman

This is my big concern. As much as I dislike Peter Houston I really hope Falkirk get promoted as if they don't I think Hearts will come in for him and although he plays crap football, he is effective, he has a good record against us and will be relatively cheap. The last two things being a high priority for them.

Agreed, he does have a good record against and he is quite effective but the biggest '+' for Hearts signing him is his very apparent hatred of us - he might not improve Hearts but at least they'd have a manager who NEVER misses any opportunity to have a go at Hibs
