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

[Pedantic_Hibee]

Aaaaah,Hearts fans eh?

Giving it big licks yet battening down the hatches as soon as they get a bad result and shutting off from the world. Guess I'll just need to wait until tomorrow now for a right good few belly laughs on JKB once the inquest is over.

I've been saying for a few months now that Houston will be in the dugout for the first derby of the season. Guarantee it.

Know a guy who regularly plays golf with Houston. Says he wouldn't touch the job with a bargepole now.

[EskbankHibby]

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

Agreed G, it's like listening to a policeman report on a car crash.

Don't worry, you can binge on it tomorrow. I plan to read through the entire match thread from about half past 3 today. Might also dip in to one or two Cathro/Levein out threads to finish off :greengrin

with 3 years still to run on his contract, its going to take a fairly substantial payment to get rid of him! Long live Cathro.

I'd be shocked if he's sacked. But I wouldn't be surprised if they brought in some help in a senior figure with experience to help him. JJ maybe 😂

Gary locke was maybe brought in for that reason? And if not, I recon he is their back up if cathro does walk/get the bullet.

He gave Ian Black his only ever international cap - at Easter Road.

Yeah I think that's right

And the crowd booed him

Or was it to do with the fact he picked a 4th tier Rangers player to be in the Scotland team...

:agree:

"The official Heart of Midlothian FC matchday programme has undergone a Hollywood makeover ahead of the new season, with a new cover theme sure to catch the eye.

For the duration of the 2017/18 campaign, every programme cover will be an adaptation of an iconic movie poster…albeit with a football (and primarily Hearts) related twist. The first issue of the season is a take on the 1986 academy award winning movie Platoon, with summer signing Cole Stockton taking centre stage on the cover. The movie title has been altered slightly in a nod to Friday night’s opponents, Newcastle United, aka. ‘The Toon’."

They've also had 'East Fife Story' and the above 'Boys in Maroon'.

[Aldo]

I don't care who they have in charge because at the end of the day they need a massive influx of quality players. These types of players cost money however the signing of the young loanees from Man City and Liverpool show what market they are in.

They have used their budget bringing in Laugherty and Berra as well as resigning Hughes!

That coupled with the constant delay's with the mega stand have the yam hordes with their hackles up.

I really don't think it has sunk in yet with some of them but my yam associates who were there yesterday made the following observations

Absolutely no chance the megastand will be ready anytime soon. Little or no progress since last game at PBS.

The squad has little or no quality and they will really heavily on Berra, Laugherty, Goncalves, Cowie and Souttar to keep them as high up table as possible! They lack quality in key areas all over the pitch and injuries and suspensions once they kick it will hurt the club big time.

Cathie out his depth but the real issues are with Levein and he is the one running the show with Cathri as his puppet. He's hiding and is the one that brings in the transfers not Cathro.

They also believe they cannot and will not sack him and will wait until the first derby (it's all that matters to them) and if they get beaten then he goes.

As for the cup to suggest it's the Diddy Cup is stupid cos it's a form of income yet that most don't see tat.

O and they are getting concerned at the debt that's wracking up and they have written to Budge to provide an update given her silence in recent weeks.

Yes they are yams but decent ones (I know) and they are not happy!

All pleasing

I'm not against the idea it's a bit of fun father than just standard photos of the team every week. If Hibs had done it I wouldn't have cringed, though some would inevitably be worse than others. I liked our trading card idea and thought they would have been great covers instead of just cards. Comic companies, DC and Marvel, do thus stuff all the time. Marvel have recently homaged classic Hip Hop albums and also designs in the style of the packaging of their old action figures line, but I digress...

Can't see Hearts getting rid of Cathro, not with the contract he has. You can understand why fans are upset but the amazing it's taken so long for the penny to drop. The arrogance on the match day thread when they equalised shows the collective mindset though. Delusion and unquestionable belief in overtly chest thumping press releases just make the realisation they're not very good all the more painful, well not for us.

That interview is brutal. I thought it was bad last night but it stands up even worse in the cold light of day.

Did the boy simply not participate in English lessons? He's becoming and even more ridiculous parody of himself with every interview he gives!

He may very well be the man to revive Only an Excuse from the rubbish it's been for over a decade now. I'm sure they'll go to town on him!

[PapillonVert]

Everyone in Scottish football hates Levein. Especially Jefferies and Billy Brown.

When he was appointed, the thought did cross my mind that The Budgie might have a wee crush on Levein and so his position might be stronger than the results deserve.

Unless the deluded ones see the light and start cancelling the direct debits in their thousands. Not having the readies flowing in regularly could be the only thing which might force her to act.

One poster even quoted his coaching abilities were superb, and way ahead of anything Lennon would be capable of.

Now I know Lennon is Irish, but I'm pretty sure he manages to get his ideas over much better than Cathro ever will.

They went for the cheap option with Cathro. They tried to mask that fact with all their "oh he's a really exciting young manager with fresh ideas, he's the next big thing etc etc" to try and justify the bizarre appointment to the hearts fans. Truth is he was the cheap option and now its come back to bite them because they are either stuck with him or having to fork out to get rid of him and his creepy looking sidekick McPhee.

I see it going something like this. He may stay for a game even 2 more. The pressure will mount and he will walk, excusing his rights to a pay off. Wether there is a brown envelope as a sweeter who knows. But I just can't see hearts sacking him due to the money, but he might get a few 'whispers' in his ear to leave on his own accord.

Nanny mcphee would probably hold out for a full severe nice so he could maybe be kept on as assistant to gary locke who will step up from the youths nicely as another Potter puppet.

As much as I'd love to.see hearts waste more money getting rid, I don't think they will in this instance. However locke may install a bit more 'passion' as to what it means to play for hearts. He is a ***** manager and the players he has are just no very good.

That sounds like madness, are their philosophies not the same?

Demote Cathro to just a coaching role and promote McPhee. That way no payoff is required and the fans get their wish of Cathro being removed. I'd be happy with that, nothing too much would change.

He come out and admitted that they are already looking for a replacement?! jesus christ, talk about a confidence boost for cathro!

The problem is LEVEIN! If hearts want any chance of progressing he needs to go. Cathro is useless and clearly well out of his depth but he's Leveins fall guy, to take all the stick, Leveign is pulling the strings.

Listening to the Dundee Derby build up on BBC radio.

No word that Cathy has gone but Tom English saying it's all but inevitable.

Fortunately another voice (not sure who) saying 'it takes time' for new players to bond.

Couldn't agree more - Cathy may have seen two disastrous transfer windows so far but surely he needs at least another two to really stamp his mark on this team?

One of my jambo mates (good guy) saying he's gone??

[Aldo]

I would suggest they don't not have much (if any) of their transfer budget given they are taking Liverpool and Man City youngsters on loan.

More than happy for Potter to take control because the yams I know I hate the bottler.

Not sure Potter can change the players they have there but tbh it's really funny cos most seems to be going for them at all.

Which is really pleasing!

Don’t panic - all this has come from a twitter post based on nothing. Id be surprised if they punt him before the season even starts. It’s unprecedented.

Ad much as I hate to say it, I can't see them not sacking him. The fans are up in arms and they are reliant on the fans for money, the last thing they want or need is an unhappy fanbase. Some folk over on keekback even saying they are cancelling their DD till he is gone. If Budge and co. suspect for 1 second that some of the fans cash is going to stop they will act.

Cathros time is up IMO. I hope i'm wrong but I just can't see them sticking with him now.

Demote Cathro to just a coaching role and promote McPhee. That way no payoff is required and the fans get their wish of Cathro being removed. I'd be happy with that, nothing too much would change.

They won't sack him before a league game has been played...Surely no?

It would be the biggest slap in the face Cathro could receive.

[Vault Boy]

This would be near enough the absolute worst time to sack a manager. Most of their 'budget' is spent, pre season is over and they're already out of a cup. Ultimately they're going to have to do it soon, but either way, it's an absolutely atrocious situation for them to be in (and completely hilarious to watch). No decent manager will touch that club right now.

[ekhibee]

I looked at Kickback about an hour ago and quite a lot of them want Houston as manager. I'd have no problem with that, it'd give me even more pleasure watching his coupon when we beat them again. And he wouldn't be able to use his usual 'they've got more money than us' card that he uses at Falkirk every time they get beat.

Once the DDs are cancelled, it will be hard work getting them back.

People will get used to having their money again, so they'll wait to see how the next appointment settles in before making any decision about restarting. And the longer they wait, the less chance there is of that happening.

To be fair (sticks in the craw, mind) Save Hearts In Trouble raises that much money every month that it could cope with a few dozen cancelled DDs.

The thing I'm pleased about is the fact he's still got 3 years left it'll cost a fair bit to pay him off; it'll then cost to bring in a quality manager, and then further monies to allow a new manager to bring in any players they want. With the stand currently getting built, and Cathro having already brought in several players, even if they do sack him, they won't be able to afford a decent manager.

Is he still there? If he doesn't go today it looks like they'll give him the first 11 games. It's going to cost half a mil to get rid of him.

Berra says 1st four games of the league campaign are 'make or break'.

I'm worried the players will chuck it because they've got no faith in the, ahem, 'boss'.

If that happens Budge and Levein must stay strong. Stick with Cathro until Jan at least and give him a chance to have a clear out and bring in his own players.

Ok he's done that twice already but next time it's bound to work.

You do wonder about his mental make-up with some of the mind-boggling statements he comes out with and it seems inconceivable that the Hearts board haven't yet decided enough is enough (mind you, did Ann Budge not refer to him as 'particularly articulate'? If so, maybe she inhabits the same alternative world that Cathro does).

Personally, I think it would be great if they were crazy enough to persevere with him. They'll be relegated for sure.

You can tell from the grammar in her rambling statements that she's got word issues herself so she probably meant to say practically illiterate, which does bear a better resemblance to his utterances and delivery style.

He's got to stay though I agree, just can't see it happening.

Medal Mackay speaks out - apologies if already posted.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40769711

"Hearts need to get back to having a manager running the football team," Mackay, who played for Hearts from 1980 to 1997, added.


"Craig is a stubborn individual. It took him a long time to admit he made a mistake playing 4-6-0 as Scotland manager in the Czech Republic."

"I didn't like the scenes. I didn't like that it looked like Ann and Craig had to be shepherded away before the penalties, but that is just an impact of the results since (former head coach) Robbie Neilson left the club."

"Finishing third in their group with three part-time teams is not good enough for a club of Hearts' stature."

Keep the faith, young Ian - please don't give up yet!!

Fidel Cathro:

"A revolution is a struggle to the death between the future and the past."

"Condemn me, it does not matter: history will absolve me."

"Good athletes do not know what tiredness is. They do not know what discouragement is. Good athletes only know what victory is."
"It does not matter how small you are if you have faith and a plan of action."

1st attempt....(magic hat tune)

Cathro is a genius, he uses Windows 10, and if it wasn't for those goalpost, he'd still be unbeaten, but when those part-time players put it in the net, he's completely f***ed cause he cannae press reset

I bet his contract says if sacked pay up till end season only. Moyes got that mutd. No lump sum of rest contract.

Moyes got 5m from Man U and I doubt very much if he was on 10m a year. Most Managers agents would not accept that in their contracts.

He loses to the wee teams and canny buy a win
And his tranny number two, chucked his laptop in the bin.

looks like were going down this year then.

who speaks some Portuguese
Confuses players with tactics

Crowned the Dalry Lama
But everyone agrees
if he sticks around
Hearts will be on their knees

The yams on brokeback actually think they can make him their new manager!!!! Seriously I want some of their medication it must be phenomenal stuff.

Reminds me of the phase when calderwood had been so bad that some on here touted Jim Jefferies for the Hibs job...

[ManBearPig]

Hahaha yeah those were heady days. However Jeffries wasn't earning nearly half a million and an international manager

[Keith_M]

According to #allisbarry, they've decided to keep him for now

Yeah, but he can go part time with the International team OLUS he'll be working with their top striker every day...

[ian cruise]

Moyes got 5m from Man U and I doubt very much if he was on 10m a year. Most Managers agents would not accept that in their contracts.

Moyes would have been in a stronger bargaining position than Cathro when he took the job, given it's Cathro's first management gig you could possibly put that in saying it's the deal breaker. In theory Man Utd could have done similar with Moyes on the basis it was probably his one chance to manage at that level. Not saying the contracts definitely had those clauses but it's not out with the realms of possibility.
