Never normally listen to Sportsound but tuned in today.
Levein trolling the thick hertz fans , he really is a funny guy with hilarious quotes like the protesters were there cause they knew he was attending . He also threw in a quote about speaking to Anne today.

[gaz1875]

I thought it was funny when Preston was ripping the previous Hertz managers and the players they had signed, and Levein was part of the commentary team:faf:

[CloudSquall]

According to Kickback he told the head of FoH he's not available for the manager's role, it's a good laugh alright :greengrin

That was brilliant. At the start he said 'sorry Craig' then continued to rip the pish out his signings 😂

[Danderhall Hibs]

I’ve not been shouting about it but I think Levein’s been a good addition to the BBC radio team.

Being pedantic the guy that was on was the supporters federation general secretary. He was calling on FoH to grow a pair and demand change. Didn’t seem the brightest spark though as he seemed to forget they already had a CEO - mentioning Budge had to get a full time CEO in the door.

I think he forgot he was there.

"I'm not naming names because that's unfair but there's 5 or 6 I'm really excited about" said the sacked ex-manager responsible for their Academy structure in trying to deflect criticism on himself :greengrin:faf:.............aye nae bother Craig :greengrin

This week has been quite simply magnificent :greengrin

He probably couldn't name them because he hasn't seen them play haha

I think he's actually sounding smug.

He doesn't need to name them. He just knows the six hoof the ball further than anyone else he's seen!

[Billy Whizz]

I still think it’s a bit wrong for Sportsound to actually have him at Tynie, even more after the Brora result
We’d be in uproar if the likes of Hecky was at ER commentating on our game for the BBC

It was important for them to have a full house of hearts fuds today.

Paul Mitchell hearts fud
Biscuits (ex Hun fan) hearts fud
Levein hearts fud
Mcglaughlin hearts fud.

Most people on here have been complaining about having to many hertz lovers on the show, couldn't be enough today for me :faf:

Have you noticed how he repeats every point he makes just in case you didn’t get it the first time. Total fud. Enjoyed today listening to the hearts fan club squirming after each goal went in.

[Pretty Boy]

I’ve not been shouting about it but I think Levein’s been a good addition to the BBC radio team.

I agree. I enjoy listening to him, he's quite funny in a dry way as well.

I also thought he was one of the few who came across well in that mockumentary the BBC put out. He was surprisingly self deprecating for a guy often tagged as arrogant.

[Zazu62]

Has anyone a link or a video to any of this?

Thing is, as a manager he is a thin skinned prick.

Agree that as a pundit he doesn’t come across like that.

[Real Emerald]

Every single signing they ever make is going to be the best player in the league but all turn out to be rotten. They’ve signed hundreds of players over the past few years, must be more than anyone else in Scotland, they’ve cost a whack of money that’s been totally pissed down the drain but they keep on doing it year after year.

Best quote on KB today “the cardboard cutouts are leaving”. 😂😂😂😂😂

[h1bs4life]

Heard him mentioning that , he really is a funny guy.
Derek Ferguson ' when I signed for Hertz after a month I knew what it meant to play for them , guys like em big craigie and eh eh eh he couldn't mind anybody else he played with .
Preston crapping himself to say what he really thought in case he got the Hogg knockout punch.
Might have to tune in a bit more often if it is going to be this entertaining.

[A Hi-Bee]

**** the hertz and all who support or play for them

Best quote on KB today “the cardboard cutouts are leaving”. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]I read on JKB today that since Budge took over they've signed 14 players per season on average (90 odd in total).

Preston said that during the commentary at 2-0 down, he said if Queens score another the cardboard cut outs will be leaving. Very funny at the time (and now).

[Viva_Palmeiras]

This programme was peak Jambo but for all the wrong reasons...

So it’s not simply about having the budget...

Just listening on playback the undertones from Biscuits put Craigie-boy on the spot....

[04Sauzee]

I read on JKB today that since Budge took over they've signed 14 players per season on average (90 odd in total).

I wonder how many have come in the doors at Hibs in that time? Can't be far off the same?
Or maybe I'm making that up 🤪

Did they leave or do own goals not count?

[JimBHibees]

Which is incredible. Can remember when they were boasting how many great young players they had they then signed loads of players imo unnecessarily? Deffo seemed like an unnecessary number of signings with murmurings of close relationships with certain agents?

[Peevemor]

Or maybe I'm making that up [emoji2957]Apart from when Stubbs first arrived and we didn't have enough players left for a first team, I don't think we've signed anything like 14 players in any one season, let alone that being an average.

[gaz1875]

They stayed for the glorious comeback :cb

[Aldo]

Signing the Greek Ballack was another cracker and SJM carried him the whole game during our 3-1 victory!

They always seem to sign 5 or 6 new big strikers and wingers each window. Always the same type with similar records. They all seem to vanish after a few games before they move on to the next one.

[Is It On....]

My personal favourite on BrokeBack today is "In the last week we have played Arbroath, Brora Rangers and Queen of the South. Not one win [not even 3 draws actually 😂].That is outrageous..." 😂

Hearts now are a bit like Hibs in that listless period in the early to mid 10s when we were churning through managers and players whilst failing to properly address the glaring issues behind the scenes. Good players and good managers don't thrive when everything else isn't in place so when you have players and a manager that fall below that standard you are asking for trouble.

For any faults he had Rod Petrie recognised his shortcomings in that area and made appointments to try and rectify it. When he got it right the club as a whole and the team on the park quickly started on an upward trajectory. I don't see any evidence those in charge at Hearts recognise or are addressing the problems they have at the moment. I daresay McInnes or Neil would improve them but it still looks like it would be on pretty shaky foundations. There are fundamental problems at the club and the turnover of players and 5 soon to be 6 managers in 5 years shows that.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

It was a master stroke for LD and RG to visit Queen Anne and helps sustain the illusion that Hearts were running a great operation.

[LancsHibs]

I read on JKB today that since Budge took over they've signed 14 players per season on average (90 odd in total).

Not boasting or anything:greengrin but how many of that 90 odd would have got anywhere near our starting eleven? The answer underlies their problem.

[007]

It was a master stroke for LD and RG to visit Queen Anne and helps sustain the illusion that Hearts were running a great operation.

I'd forgotten about that one. She goes to the press boasting about how clubs were contacting to find out how to run a club well and in fact Hibs were there just the other day. What had probably happened was Budge called Leeann and invited her over and Leeann being the polite friendly neighbour agreed. Leeann then had to put up with Budge rambling on for a couple of hours about how brilliant she is.

We got to see the reality of the Mickey Mouse operation they've got behind the scenes in the BBC docusoap.

If I could be bothered I'd look up how much profit they've made in the Budge era and subtract the fans and James Anderson donations to see what the underlying losses are. Okay there'd be an argument that they've built a stand and they would have cut their cloth accordingly as far as other spending goes but I don't think that would even come close to explaining away those underlying losses. Also make you wonder how bad the team would be without all that extra money.

[Peevemor]

Hibs & Hearts should definitely work together on some things. Certain community initiatives, strategy when dealing with the OF duopoly, etc.

She was pathetic though holding herself up as an example. It's easy when tens of millions of pounds of historic debt are written off and you have millions per year in donations to play with.

Or maybe it isn't.. [emoji848]

Preston was on Off The Ball a while back speaking about Tierney and his move to Arsenal.

He came across well and was quite open about the fact he was part of wider team who facilitated these big money deals.

Yes,they were very impressed with the chip pan proudly displayed in the tiny trophy room.
