Levein must stay!

[Col2]

Said it before and say it again.

Levein is a coward and a loser. Always looking to stay away from any accountability but still wants the big bucks and the power.

Never won anything as a player or manager and now a miserable bitter twat.

His time as Scotland manager showed his stubbornness to the full with the ridiculous 4-6-0 formation (and defended it afterwards) and his blatant attempt to get it right up us as ER for Scotland game by briinging on Ian Black when everyone knew what he was doing, to get a reaction. Gave him the narrative the next day rather than focus on the performance.

Apparently still doing his DOF duties! I’ve no idea what that involves.

Looking at videos of players that colquhoun has left over from the last transfer window and trying to sell Cole the goal Stockton to Barcelona?

The yams obviously can't afford to get rid of him.

They went through the façade of three weeks of interviews for a managerial appointment...only to appoint the person to the position who was doing the interviewing!

Yes, what a joke that was. All that guff from Budge about how "it dawned on us that the ideal candidate for the job was already here!"

As with the alleged 'forgotten' seats order, the managerial interview 'process' smacks of a cover story to deflect from the fact there's a serious lack of cash in the club. Given that they must have had to stump up a hefty pay-off for Cathro, they presumably realised they couldn't afford a new manager's wages. As you say they won't be able to afford to sack Levein as that would entail another pay-off.

Basically they're stuck with him, as well as a stand which looks set to remain unfinished for many months to come and which will see costs continue to escalate - costs which they can't recoup due to the fact they're nowhere near ready to utilise the corporate facilities which were supposed to generate millions for them. Budge must wish she'd toned down all that crowing about a structure that for the foreseeable future will be nothing more than a replica of the the other three empty shell stands.

Almost a year since they hounded out The Caveman when in the top 3 in the SPL 😂😂

I don't want to be accused of stirring it up amongst the Yam Fuds, has anyone else heard that CL is being paid both salaries for his joint duties?

Worth every penny, we should probably have a bit of a collection for him as well, just to show our appreciation of his recent efforts.

[NZ Green]

He seems far too stubborn to bow out, his stubbornness got him the job in the first place.

[147lothian]

He cuts a forlorn figure on the side lines, more glass developed a leak than glass half empty. Thoughts please on him taking the gig after the 3 week interview process, was it all a charade where they could pretend they are a big club having to fight back big name managers before giving it to Levein, stitched up from the start, possibly in cahoots with his friend AB. Or was it that what they really had to offer budget wise was so unappealing that no serious manager would risk his reputation by taking the gig, leaving Levein the last man AB could turn to

I'm sure one of the Yams will do due diligence and ask the question from the directors on the board if that's true, but they'll probably be too busy bowing to Queen Budgie to hear the answer.

Lest we forget.

High calibre candidates and the stand on schedule.

How can you tell when Ann Budge is lying...?

I had missed that snippet about Scot Gardiner - nominally the man in charge of the new main stand project - leaving at the end of August.

What a basket case of a club.

Or Budge, so utterly pig sick at his administering of a horrendous period of poor recruitment as well as his stubborn refusal to alter his style or duties which scared off potential candidates, gave him the ultimatum of "it's your mess, you fix it or you'll be forced out of the club".

Anyone worked out how his league record compares to Ian Cathros?

One to keep an eye on, now the bounce that teams normally get when a new manager comes in has gone for Levein I suspect that their records will become a bit more similar.

Hardly a fair comparison. Potter has had to play all his home matches away. Once he can get his boys back playing in the cauldron that is New Tiny Park his stats will improve mightily and he will be seen to be still an excellent manager well worthy of a contract extension, please.

No no. Once the injured players return and they get back to tincastle all will be Barry. 5-1 and mega stand and all that.....

There's no shortage of cash at the PBS - it's just that it's all Ann Budge's !

Can someone less lazy than me put up Lennon's win/loss points etc. this season for comparison too.

Forcing him out the club would prove a bit tricky, to say the least, he's on a three year contract and they are now having to life within their means

While we have the manager of the month, after a three week interview process they have a manager who didn't want the job in the first place, that the majority of their fans didn't want, who also has the task of recruiting new players, despite the fact that the ones he has brought in so far are mediocre at best, and he's not even able to recruit any new players until he can get rid of some of the players that he recruited to the club.

You just couldn't make this stuff up!

The good news is that Levein will be as long as they have AB at the helm, and Budgie won't go cheap!

They got their 'home comfort' went 1- 0 up then Levein took his two strikers off, I can see the message that sent out to the players
