Pray For Cathro (The Ian Cathro Laffathon - Merged Threads)

Panic over lads :greengrin


Great news. :agree: That's put a spring in my step this morning. It's only fair to let the laddie develop his brand to it's natural conclusion. :wink:

Make the most of it, fellow Hibbies!

[Baker9]

Today's Daily Mail. If somebody could put up a link there is a good Q & A article with Levein that asks some direct questions and get some answers that are unlikely to get their fan base excited.

[surreyhibbie]

The thing is the players here like him

Players like Sam Nicholson, Jamie Walker, Struna and Callum Patterson

They all liked him so much they rejected new deals to leave and/or handed in a transfer request

Really bright future there

:top marks :agree:

Craig Levein retains "high hopes" for Ian Cathro's Hearts tenure but says the club will seek to "repair the damage" of recent transfer windows.
Levein, the club's director of football, described finishing fifth in the Premiership, as "frustrating and a tad disappointing".
"I've got high hopes for him [Cathro]," Levein said. "This is a tough place to manage, as I know myself.
"The thing about here is the players like him."


Levein says the "furore" surrounding 30-year-old Cathro since his arrival (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38202975) has been tough for the young head coach to deal with, but says the players enjoy working under him and will improve next season.
"For him to be a real success here we need to give him time and let him understand what this is all about," Levein explained. "Then we can let him go and play how he wants to play, but we need to fix some other things first.
"His problem early on has been understanding Scottish football, not understanding how he wants to play.
"In this country just now, Celtic are in a class of their own, Rangers play a different style of football to other teams, but the rest play the same.
"If you can't deal with long balls, second balls, wide crosses, then you can't impose yourself on the match.
"His early experiences have been about understanding that part of it. Once he deals with that part of it I think it will allow his coaching abilities to come to the fore."


Rangers play a different style of football to other teams 🤔

Am I missing something here

[WoreTheGreen]

I think he meant" football song"

[jacomo]

Levein's interview is confusing me.

Cathro is 100% confident in his work and even stronger than he thought he was.

Maybe Levein is just jealous?

[NAE NOOKIE]

The only positive for the Yams at the moment is the signing of Berra .... not because he is brilliant, but he has played at a good level for the last few years and theoretically shouldn't find the forwards in the Premiership any tougher than he has faced down south. Having said that, he must have been known to every manager in the EFL and there doesn't appear to have been much competition for his signature ... even if he did want to return to Edinburgh money talks, especially when you are at the arse end of your career, but it doesn't appear to have been talking to him, I wonder why? :greengrin

What is barmy is that if you check out Sickbag a lot of them appear to genuinely think that they still follow a club that can afford to spend £500,000 on players .... I've seen a player from Aberdeen and Boyce from Ross County both mentioned in the 'we could get him for as little as half a million' category. In an environment where they are baking cakes and painting faces to fit out a stand with a 3 million quid funding gap the fact that they still talk like this says everything about how delusional they still are.

After two car crash transfer windows and players wanting to leave they practically need to build a whole team, chuck in a manager who needs to hit the ground running next season in order to stop the natives from getting even more restless and it all looks so much like the position we were in in the two years up to getting relegated :greengrin

[Stevie Reid]

Hearts looking set to lose their two top goal scorers from last season. Same thing happened to us during the summer before the 2013-14 season :whistle:

The bit in red...I find it mind-boggling that Levein seems to think it's acceptable that a manager would not actually understand the simple fact that the opposition won't just stand aside and let you play. He speaks about Cathro as though he really is nothing more than a computer geek who forget to factor in the fact there's another team on the park (as well as goalposts).

I've met many a coach who are like that. They have their vision of the game and it's always right.

It's always great to beat them.

[Springbank]

Leveins defence of cathro, plus hearts clearly advertising that Jamie Walker is for sale, plus their cake bakes & massive chips adverts, all tell me one thing: they can't afford to sack cathro, even if we get them in the league cup and steamroller them; or even if we thump them in the first 2 league derbies

He's here til new year at least, ya beauty

[Fuzzywuzzy]

I just heard a snippet of levein on the radio. 'we play some good football'& 'there's two scenarios. When we have the ball and when we don't'

[Jim44]

Sounds like he's morphing into Cathro or maybe Cathro is just a Levein controlled hologram. Cathrologram ......... must get it into the Jambo Thesaurus if it's not already there.

[bingo70]

Anyone keeping up to date with what's going on at wolves?

Sounds very similar to what hearts were being accused of with John Colquhoun having too big an influence on the transfer activity.

Always thought he was a decent player tbh when I saw him which admittedly wasn't much.

Levine has said they are now all about brining through youth players

[renato]

Djoum

He who stated he's playing for a wee team and wanted to join his international colleagues by moving on in the summer? All this just before we pumped them out the cup, again?

Surprised "the famous" didn't hound him out at the time...

[RyeSloan]

Djoum

Is that the big lump that plays up front that spent one of the recent derbies at Easter Road falling about and moaning all game?

If so that would be a shame if he left as he seemed to be less than useless.

You're thinking of Juanma, who was useless in the 1-0 SC replay at ER. Djoum is a good player, and scored a raker in the 2-2 game.

That's my fear to be honest.

They ended last season as the team with the worst form over the last 5 months of the season and have started this one with a defeat to a League Two side.

If they start the league campaign in a similar fashion, I really can't see him lasting until October.

It shouldn't be as everything is fine. Just a minor blip really. If you ignore the previous 5 month blip then it's probably their first blip really. "It's okay"

[jijihibby]

Ian Cathro's string-puller of 6-4-0 fame of course also deserves a mention.
Yes, Ian, management decisions at your club are a ''joint responsibility'' as you claim them to be. That can be translated as you ''dae whit your tellt'' and wait with bowed head for your orders and messages from above.
Meanwhile the rest of us sit back and glow with pleasure...
Please do not change anything.

CUP CALAMITY Hearts boss Ian Cathro suggests shock Betfred Cup loss to Peterhead was down to lack of squad cohesion

IAN CATHRO suggested the shock Betfred Cup defeat to Peterhead was down to lack of squad cohesion.

The under-fire Hearts gaffer also claimed the 2-1 loss was only “a disappointment in relation to the competition” his side are playing in.

The Tynecastle boss said: “We did not start the game particularly well and that allowed Peterhead to stay motivated and keep fighting.

“We probably got ourselves on top but we need to make better decisions to make sure that when the opportunities are there, we take them.

“We need to be more efficient in our play in the final third.

“It’s a disappointment in relation to the competition that we are playing in.

“We wanted to win the game to put ourselves in a position to top the group and we have not done that.

“What we also respect is that we have got a number of new players in the team and their relationships are building.

“We need to make sure that we are ready for Saturday first and foremost. That’s the priority.

“From the demand that we put on ourselves, winning against Dunfermline was always the target.

“Now to progress in the competition, it is a game we need to go and win.

“That’s fine, that’s the reality.”

Been said before, but its really difficult to believe that English isn't his second (or third) language

When he gets emptied from Hearts a career in an overseas call centre awaits

[bingo70]

That's a shocker of an interview.

He needs to stop trying to say the right thing and show some genuine passion/emotion.

He won't change though which is terrific, The only question is how long he gets and who replaces him, if hearts get his successor wrong they could find themselves in real bother this year imo.

[lyonhibs]

I personally detest him and consider him.a potent tactical force to be reckoned with. We underestimate him at our peril, as I'm sure the schematics of ER are freely available somewhere.

If I were Hearts or a Jambo, which regretfully I'm not, I'd advise sticking with him so he can build a legacy that will be mentioned in hushed, reverential tones for years to come.......

Regrettably, you are probably right.

Sadly for us, Budge and Levein are both incredibly astute people who will brush off any short term minor setbacks and stick with the guy.

Putting all Hibs-bias aside, part of me actually wants Cathro todo well. I kinda like what he represents, a challenge to the conceived notion that you need to have played to manage. I see him as a bit of a challenge to the established order of things, and I'd rather have bright guys with new ideas than some of the old guard.

That said, he's Hearts, so... ha, ha!

I have no doubt that it is a blip, Cathro will do just fine. It would be a huge mistake to offload him. The Jambos just need to keep faith with him and we should support them in that view, we really need to be more supportive of our neighbours.

Youre lucky if I fancy a look at their forum maybe once a year (usually after we've emptied them out the cup again) but for a reason I can't fathom it won't let me on?

I think keekback might be on lock down a lot this season .

That account is a spoof, and takes the P out of Hearts at every opportunity.

It spews out quotes from sickbag - but they are all genuine.

[Benny Brazil]

Beating Dunfermline was always the target. That game is the priority.

Fans are probably wishing he'd told them they weren't bothered about last night's match before they traveled.

That's fine, that's the reality.

A Jambo co-worker said to me this morning - Never thought we'd have a must win, season defining game in July! :greengrin
Gotta love Cathro!

[SirDavidsNapper]

I'd be devestated if he's away before derby

[Morganleith]

Got to hope they beat Dunfermline by a good few goals to keep this genius in his job. If they lose on Saturday then they'll turn on him I'd imagine. He truly is something to behold. Our own 007

[Famous Fiver]

Anyone know how many Jambos made the journey last night, and how long it takes to get to Edinburgh from Peterhead?

There was me lying comfy in my bed replaying six lovely finishes in my mind, and these poor unfortunates having to replay a horror show for hours on end.

Pleasing.

CUP CALAMITY Hearts boss Ian Cathro suggests shock Betfred Cup loss to Peterhead was down to lack of squad cohesion

IAN CATHRO suggested the shock Betfred Cup defeat to Peterhead was down to lack of squad cohesion.

The under-fire Hearts gaffer also claimed the 2-1 loss was only “a disappointment in relation to the competition” his side are playing in.

The Tynecastle boss said: “We did not start the game particularly well and that allowed Peterhead to stay motivated and keep fighting.

“We probably got ourselves on top but we need to make better decisions to make sure that when the opportunities are there, we take them.

“We need to be more efficient in our play in the final third.

“It’s a disappointment in relation to the competition that we are playing in.

“We wanted to win the game to put ourselves in a position to top the group and we have not done that.

“What we also respect is that we have got a number of new players in the team and their relationships are building.

“We need to make sure that we are ready for Saturday first and foremost. That’s the priority.

“From the demand that we put on ourselves, winning against Dunfermline was always the target.

“Now to progress in the competition, it is a game we need to go and win.

“That’s fine, that’s the reality.”

More classic quotes from Father Dougal.

“We probably got ourselves on top" - real meaning: "we never dominated a 4th tier team that we should have with a full strength side"

"but we need to make better decisions" - real meaning: "I'm clueless, Harry Potter tells me what to do, blame him"

"to make sure that when the opportunities are there, we take them." - real meaning: "the players take the pish and I've no idea how to man mange, so they ignore my instructions"

[Mibbes Aye]

Can't find the right thread, but after the Peterhead game he blamed not shaking hands with Jim McInally on the tumult in the Peterhead box.

He said he "...lingered for a split second"

He genuinely must be Neo from the Matrix if he can linger for a split second. And the hairstyle is sort of getting there. If he turns up in a black leather trenchcoat then we will know it's true.

I, for one, will feel silly for mocking him :agree:

Look at this wee nugget of misery for them across the road...

“I’m no brain of Britain, but I’d always been able to do something if I really tried and it got to me that I was so bad so I kept coming back to prove a point to myself. Then I was getting motivated by other people being better than me until I got to the point where the process excited me.”

Looks like he might stay bases on this...

It's great taking the piss out of Cathro, but lets not forget the creep in the background who really has to take responsibility for Cathro's appointment - Craig Levein.

I'm hearing many at the shelter want Cathro and Levein out. I say they both MUST STAY Anne. Trust me, it's all going fine.

After listening to that interview its clear he just needs more time. Let him tweak the systems a little and if Cathro can cut out the individual errors they will turn the corner. Simply he must stay and be allowed to finish his work doing what he does.

Stick with Cathro and relegation is a cert or sack him now and pay up the rest of his contract, then the whole financing of an another management team with the main stand being built over budget and by the looks of things running behind schedule. They look in a bad place at the moment and no easy solutions to remedy it.

Stick with Cathro and relegation is a cert or sack him now and pay up the rest of his contract, then the whole financing of an another management team with the main stand being built over budget and by the looks of things running behind schedule. They look in a bad place at the moment and no easy solutions to remedy it.
That's a real shame that is :faf:

I'll be interested to see the betting for next Hearts manager. Jack Ross will probably be 1 of the favourites but I'm not sure he'd take it.

There is zero chance of Jack Ross taking another role there as long as Levein remains.

If he makes it to the derby then we should get this image blown up and displayed in te dmgtoubd.

Stay please Ian. Hearts 80/1 to be relegated. See the job through.

Yup - Please Ms.B let him stay just long enough to really do the biz ??

Aye? What's the script with them?

Jack Ross is one manager I'd be concerned with joining them. Think he's decent.

Some folk on here know the full story but there was some major falling out when Ross was coaching there. JR was on Sportsound a few months back when Saints were flying and he was asked "What's your relationship with Craig Levein like now?" Jack replied "There is none."

Take from that what you will!

Ive got a telly that only works tomorrow and when you use it without any sides or top.

Think it's one of those old Cathro Ray ones.

Jeez! Craig Levein could fall out with himself. Like I said on a previous post, he's one of the biggest pricks in football as far as I'm concerned.

I remember hearing a story about when he was at Leicester, rushing in after a game and demanding to know the score from a Derby that Hearts had won. He then proceeded to give it the 'get it right up those Hibs *******s' chat in front of a load of bemused Leicester fans. A complete ****ing twat.

Apparently Jim Jefferies (who's actually meant to be alright if you look past the pantomime villain bit) hates Craig Levein and struggles to be in the same room as him.

Michael Stewart made a really good point on BT after the game about Neilson leaving for MK Dons, implying ever so slightly he bolted at the first decent offer. Said something along the lines of why leave for a team like MK Dons as if you're doing a good job at Hearts - taking off the Hibs tinted specs for a min, he was doing fine and had them I think 3rd in the league - as you would eventually get a bigger side than MK Dons and it's hard to argue the point. It doesn't take an Ian Cathro-esque genius to work out he feels Mr Teflon himself, Craig Levein, is the issue.

On another note how daft must the bams feel who hired a plane demanding Neilson was sacked :greengrin

They're a club rotten to the core with a stubborn auld hag that looks like a pit bull being forced to suck on a raw lemon and an untouchable Craig Levein, who's seemingly universally hated by all Jambos, at the helm who won't sack the dud he employed as he will never ever admit he made the wrong choice. Then under him a complete fantasist, a space cadet version of Alan Partridge on LSD who they either pay off to best part of half a million quid they don't have and in turn bring someone else in who will want to spend more money they also don't have to replace and rip apart the squad of no-hopers he's assembled, or they stick with him after giving him means to build a team which he's in turn filled with donkeys, while at the same time the natives they crawl to cap in hand for money on a monthly basis grow even more restless.

They find themselves in a no win - no win situation. Shame.

[mixumatosis]

Just seen a guy on Facebook suggesting Sam Allerdyce (sic) to take over. I assumed it was one of us at the wind up, but there he is in his profile picture, Jambo top and union jack in all their "glory"

Sam Allardyce, who couldn't get by on £4 million a year without trying to steal more the crooked, cheating ******. So as much as he's morally suited to the post, I suspect wages may be an issue.

After him and Budge left the stand before the penalties today he apparantly asked “how did hibs get on”. Obsessed fud. Hated him after his treatment of Fletcher as Scotland manager. Pretty sure that was because Fletcher was associated with Hibs.

Hope 86 haunts your dreams, you bottling ****stick. Btw, we won 3-0 twat.

I'm sure a boy I know was involved in that plane debacle ! [emoji23][emoji23]

You've summed up their predicament nicely there though. Budge isn't going to splash her cash much more and Levein will never ever admit he's got anything wrong. Makes for good times!!

He always asks about the Hibs score - probably because he's an lucky 15 on !

Regards the Fletcher comment - absolutely wouldn't put it past him having an anti-Hibs policy in team selection - those that chose him as national manager shouldn't be in post, he had a horrible record compared to other national managers !

Loves Cathro - so he still gets my vote - Cathro must stay ! X

No, but I could see Big Sam reducing Potter to a bloody pulp before leaving to go back down South.

That would be 'interesting'.

And 'funny'.

Nothing will change at the pbs until they stop running their club with the sole purpose of finishing above us. Their obsession is totally creepy and while I have a good chuckle if they lose it doesn't matter a jot if we don't win. The bikey transfer sums them up perfectly. Jump in to get a player they knew very little about,got him saying how much bigger hertz are and then faded into obscurity. I'm told their youth coaching is great with the box soccer. That will be the box soccer that leven has an interest in and which Cathro was heavily involved in. Doh. Without paying ridiculous wages they seem incapable of signing decent players or guys they could make into better players. Leven should ask himself why all of their so called promising youngsters couldn't wait to leave.lol.

Well, it appears that you're not very bright, haven't a freakin clue about plumbing, and the whole project, if entrusted into your hands, would end in catastrophe.

So in accordance with the Levein-Cathro Principle of Creative Incompetence - you've got the job!

What could possibly go wrong?

Erm - you DO have a lap-top, don't you?
