"Craig Levein has simple plan to help revive Hearts"

[Dan Sarf]

...according to today's Scotsman.

Any guesses what it might be? :greengrin

Hooooof

[Bostonhibby]

Does he know a Russian billionaire who owns a couple of banks and boxes of drawings of a football stadium?

If so I'm sure he'd be welcomed at tynecastle without any questions.

Simple plans for simple fans

[Keith_M]

He's going to play Ekaterina Lisina (http://metro.co.uk/2017/09/07/phillip-schofield-forced-to-climb-stepladder-as-he-meets-woman-with-worlds-longest-legs-6909997/) as their Centre Forward.

Yeah he is going to buy a defibrelator :wink:

Seriously though they will be the first Scottish team in history to go through a whole season without playing a centre forward :agree:

[lord bunberry]

His plan will be to beat hibs, it's all he cares about and he knows it will get the masses on side.
Theres an obvious flaw in his plan though.

From the BBC, well not really...

Craig Levein, Hearts new manager and less new Director of Football has opened up about his revolutionary new plans to ensure that Hearts always get one up on the Hubs. "Aye beating the wee team is all I really care about" said known bottle merchant and occasional club brawler Levein "so we are only going to play 6 players in the next derby so we can field a 5-1 formation and they won't like that one bit"...

[Jack]

He's already had 3 years to put in a simple plan.

Even he isn't daft enough to only play with 6 players. He will use a 1-5-1-5 formation. 1 goalkeeper, 5 big galoots in defence to kick lumps out of strikers and hoof the ball up the other end of the pitch, 1 midfield enforcer to kick the hibs midfielders (minimal footballing skill required as the ball will generally be 4 feet above his head)and 5 target men to play on the edge of the hibs box, batter the hibs defenders and scramble the ball into the net if a penalty isn't awarded when a hibs player savagely attacks a hearts players elbow with his face in the box.

I think if he did come up with the 6 player / 5-1 plan we would just counter with a 7 player formation 😉

Sorry, there's 2 obvious flaws in his plan :greengrin

Hoooooof ..... boot .... elbow ..... 4 - 6 - 0 ................ exciting times for Scottish football :aok:

[CraigHibee]

A "simple plan" by a "simple man"

[Iain G]

I've worked it out! They are going to play Quiddich from now on and are going to bring back Lee Wallace who will be the snitch...

[Deansy]

If his plan is so 'Simple' then why didn't the 'Director of Football' tell Cathro - that's if he really wants Hearts to do well and not just sit there and pocket Ann Budge's hard-earned ........................ :hmmm:

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Employ a brainless manager who he can manipulate?

Getting an agreed overdraft of seven figures. Should be alright considering their great credit rating.

[hibsbollah]

...get a mysterious 'virus' (now commonly described as *****ingoutofititus) just before a huge decisive game and hide in a corner of the changing room throughout a legendary 2-0 defeat?

[Seveno]

We need a mole to intercept the notes that he sends to himself.

Not as legendary as the 2-0 defeat :wink:

Craig Levein
And Kyle the clown
They are the Hearts
And they're going down

2-0 :wink:

[Mainstandman]

Does anyone know if Levein lives with his mum. I really wanted to sing that Cathro lives with his mum chant and it'd be a shame to waste it.

[Smartie]

"Craig Levein today unleashed his latest attack on the world of the football purist. The three point plan, entitled "hoofball, incest and chips" is similar to the plan he attempted when managing in a previous stint at Tynecastle, only this time it comes with chips".

[truehibernian]

He'll be happy their French keeper 'target' who turned them down has gone to press and amongst other things revealed important aspects of the deal and wage structure at Hearts - and that the deal stalled /collapsed due to them (Hearts) deciding to pay debts instead :greengrin

Wonder how Jack Flapilton feels after reading that £4K a week was what was on offer - at least now his agent does when his contract is up for extension :greengrin:aok:............and please please Craig offer him an extension, he is utter mince :thumbsup:

[Hibernia&Alba]

Cheat: just spend money they don't have. It's worked before.

[Albanian Hibs]

Beat Hibs?? Cause thats all they care about.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Beat Hibs?? Cause thats all they care about.

But we're not their rivals anymore Celtic are

[Hibernia&Alba]

Beat Hibs?? Cause thats all they care about.

Who knows, perhaps they'll overspend by millions, beat us 5-1 in a cup final, re-enter administration a few months later, then re-emerge with another new owner and another new stand. It's a successful blueprint.

Yeh I know ..... I had edited it before I read your commented, but perhaps it was more appropriate left as it was :greengrin

[Keith_M]

1 goalkeeper... 5 big galoots in defence... 1 midfield enforcer... 5 target men





Actually, it would be quite innovative to sneak twelve players onto the pitch.

:wink:

Wtf are they getting 4k a week for a goalkeeper - are they up to their old tricks again ?. Although Ann Budge owns them, her money is still literally 'Other People's Money' and she knows nothing about running a football-club and seems quite happy to be led (up the garden-path ??) by Levein ??

:wink:

That'll be Levein's simplicity - referees, you've been warned - count these xxxxxxxs on-field in every game !

[MyJo]

:wink:

I've assumed Craig Thomson is the referee :greengrin

[haggisbaws]

his plan is, if it moves kick it, if it's the ball ? all the better.
:thumbsup:

[lyonhibs]

With the money they'll save on pitch maintenance - as the ball will rarely be on the bloody thing - him and Budge will be able to continue their sordid affair on a summer break to French Polynesia.

A 9th place finish and a tropical island break - he's no fool.
