Amid Michael Stewart's weekly 'put the boot into Levein' comments on Sportscene last night he claimed that Levein has 'the safest job in world football' because he's also director of football (and while he didn't say as much, he clearly feels Budge will never sack him).
Is this true? Can anyone suggest a safer job in world football?

Stevie "Undroppable" Mallan must surely have a safer job?
The constant in a season and a bit of inept midfield performances.

You'll struggle to find a safer one when he's the person charged with deciding if he's doing a good enough job or not.

Let’s just say if someone else has the results he’s had, they would have been replaced.

Just ripped into him again on Sportsound. They are talking Hibs now with big Marv on having his say.

Q - "Would Hibs be as soft if you were still there?"
Marv "Probably, as I'd still be on the bench."

Stewart basically said CL is power a crazy megalomaniac who tried to take over D Utd in the same way he has at Hearts.

It says more about the lack of quality throughout the squad last season that Mallan was player of the year. He had a really good start , before struggling to offer much at all the remainder of the season. To be fair to him he did seem to improve as a team player towards the end of last season although that has disappeared this season. I honestly think Mallan is bang average at best and capable of the odd flash of brilliance. He is nowhere near good enough and lacks to many key attributes to be playing centre midfield if we have aspirations of challenging at the top end of the table

The problem is that the balance this season is all wrong.
It’s not really a problem of Mallan’s making but him and Allan aren’t doing very well together in the same midfield. Then you’ve got Newell and Fraser Murray probably behind them in the pecking order.
Under Stubbs we used to argue formation in the run up to games - some bemoaning his favoured diamond.
Under Lennon we’d be perplexed at his tactics sometimes and praising them at others.
Hecky tinkered with it to decent effect last season but now it just looks all wrong.
Mallan does seem undroppable right now even though the goals have dried up.

He's a remarkably arrogant individual and the possibility that he's just not that good a manager genuinely doesn't seem to enter his head - surprising when you consider his stats as national boss were the worst of any Scotland manager in history. This is shaping up to be his third consecutive dud season in the hotseat at Hearts which, when coupled with the fact he was responsible for the Cathro 'experiment' doesn't exactly make for an impressive managerial CV. As Michael Stewart points out, success is always 'just around the corner' with Levein.

From Gary Mackay's Evening News column:
Just like myself, Craig has never won a major honour in football and I think that will be a factor in Ann's thinking. I suspect her desire to see Craig succeed at Hearts is tainting her view on the job he is actually doing. Last season, getting to the Scottish Cup final and giving himself a chance of glory effectively bought him some time in a period when the league form was dropping off a cliff, and I feel the prospect of Craig winning the Betfred Cup will now be in her thinking. With that in mind, I think he’ll get, at the very least, to lead the team in the quarter-final against Aberdeen.
