Exciting times at the Jambos...

Lifted from BBC website..


On Steven Mclean..

"One of the things that I like, and this might sound quite strange, but I like the fact he has never been able to run"

Yes it sounds strange Craig.

See you next season.

its well known Craig has a great fear of the runs. Can’t for the life of me think why.

[leithsansiro]

Aye, good one Craig. It aint everything in football, but surely he doesnt surely like strikers who dont run, even a bit?

Haha , heard it on the BBC sports bulletin.
Potter is consistent, a consistent bam.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Fake Cathro.

"I don't know," was Levein's response when asked how many games he expected MacLean to play next season.
"He has got problems with his knees,"

:hilarious

[Kojock]

"He has got problems with his knees, but the good thing is he has had problems with his knees all his life. So he can manage that situation and he doesn't train or play on AstroTurf.

"I'm not worried about that. I think Aaron Hughes [who is 38] has played about 20 games so if I get 20 games out of Steven I will be happy. If I get more then great"

So he can't run, has problems with his knees and can't play or train on astro turf. Imagine this place if that was our signing targets for next season.

Is their new Hydro pitch not half grass, half Astro?

[adhibs]

Theres another interview where levein more or less says hes been signed to run down the last 10-5 mins. McLean shirts will be flying out the hearts shop.

[MSK]

[HFCdeb]

Fake Cathro.

😂 nailed it.

[lord bunberry]

I really wish we had a manager like Levein. Instead we’re stuck with this multi medal winning player and manager. Lennon might be the most successful manager in Scotland right now, but I long for a manager who can stick it up to the opposition with quotes like natural order.
Lennon hasn’t even won the Tennants six’s ffs.

A professional football player, properly coached, regardless of age, should be able to use game intelligence and 'run down' the clock or keep possession at the top end of the pitch.

Levein is one of the most overrated coaches in the country and one of the least successful. His style of football is industrial, mundane and predictable. Personally I hope he is their coach for a few years yet as there is no way he will drastically improve their performances - as has been proved his season already.

Nearly 550 games as a manager, with 6 clubs north and south of the border, zero honours to his name :aok: Yet the SFA gave this clueless halfwit a near 6 year contract as international manager :rolleyes: he's led a very very charmed managerial life has Craig :agree:

Fake Cathro.

Maybe it's time we re-evaluated our opinion of Ian Cathro and his infamous 'statements' -


'Take away the goalposts and we are able to compete'


- as it's looking more and more likely the poor sap was simply reading word-for-word the scripts Potter gave him ??

[IGRIGI]

He's a Brewster / Mixu / Grant Holt signing though according to some on here 😂

The truth. The whole truth, and nothing but the truth

[Bostonhibby]

Has he pronounced on goalposts yet? Or are we going to have to wait for father dougals dad to tell us if his son was right or not.

Eliminate the posts and you've potentially got a compliant pitch.

Ahh the great John McGlynn, now there’s a man of style. A modern man with modern views on the game. He will always be fine because his wife works. If only mate, if only.

[lyonhibs]

On the day that Wenger announces he's leaving Arsenal, can I just publicly state that I fervently hope his Scottish equivalent Craig Levein remains at the helm at Hearts for a similar length of time............

In a way, he’s better than Wenger because he understands the DoF role.

[JimboHibs]

According to the Tramps over on keekback,Mcleans lack of mobility is a positive due to their narrow pitch 😁.
Keep them coming Tramps.

Their pitch (and undersoil system) is a disgrace as is their propensity to over water it and over fork it pre-match and at half time - anything to prevent an opposition side being able to play football. No other side I know of in the league water their pitch as heavily and it's especially poor when drainage is a huge issue with their pitch.

Watch their ground staff next derby pre-kick off and at half time and I'll guarantee they won't be 'working hard' at ensuring as smooth a surface as possible :cb:agree:

Stunning. I can only dream of a Hibs manager with such style. I’ve heard Pep models himself on super John McGlynn.

Fake Cathro.

Maybe Levein was the ventriloquist and Cathro was the dummy all along:dunno:

[Baader]

All part of an ingenious masterplan where Pep Levein can field a team without a striker again. 460.

[IDHibs]

I effing hate the ****

[Captain Trips]

Levein has just signed a corpse and had this to say:

"He doesn't move much but is always in the box"

[Austinho]

That really is a cracker of a quote. I’d be worried if our manager tried to justify a signing in that manner.

Kilmarnock do the opposite with their artificial pitch to gain an advantage. Kept as dry as a stick they even reduced it in size to tighten the game up and give their less mobile players an advantage.

That's a cracker of a quote.

Can you imagine if Neil Lennon came out with a statement like that?

Nah me neither.

What an embarrassment.

[Northernhibee]

Having injuries to your knees takes away the fear of having injuries to your knees.

[Bostonhibby]

Having injuries to your knees takes away the fear of having injuries to your knees.Having a manager who says it's okay you can't run takes away the fear of needing to make the effort.

I'm nominating doctor football for the Ian Cathro quotation of the year award. No contest.
