I thought he was a Celtic fan as a kid too, maybe he gave an interview to that effect, but not certain.He had a chance after the McCurry debacle to tone down his attack, or at least make it a problem when playing the "Old firm" but he stood firm on calling it what it was. He lost his way massively as Scotland manager and his reign was a disaster, I do however think there were elements in the Scottish football establishment that never forgave him for his straight talking that day and were against him throughout. |

No. Played the interview without a candidate. It was a defensive interview a 1-0 |

The reason people don't like Levein is squarely down to his time at the Scotland job and his behaviour as Hearts DOF. He's never been anti-Celtic, but has certainly been anti-Rangers in his time. He'll go down in history as the innovator of the 4-6-0. |

Loved Levein's Christ The Redeemer stance at the Death Star when McCurry was performing all sorts of dark arts to ensure they won

For Scotland maybe, Luciano Spalletti’s Roma were using it 2005-06 to great effect. It appears Francesco Totti was more suited to the false 9 role than Jamie Mackie. |

Dl Bosque used it with Spain too. Only thing is they actually have the players and ability to make it work. |

Don't have particularly strong feelings about Levein either way but all the fuss about the '4-6-0' was overblown at the time. |

I don't mind Craig Levein, I couldn't stand him as Scotland manager but he did pretty well at Hearts and Dundee Utd and he's still young enough to have a real go at management, there's to many footballing purists among ua these days, people who belueve football should be played in a certain way, I don't follow that and never have, I think first and foremost you need to be able to win games, after that then I think you should try and play a game that will excite your fans, whatever that maybe but until you start competing at the top end of the League then winning is all that should matter at this level. You might like to be entertained (I hate that phrase) as a neutral but as a fan there's no fun in playing some brilliant football if you're always going to be the bridesmaid...I look back at Tommy Burns reign with fondness and often wonder what if but thats with the benefit of hindsight knowing we won the war, at rhe time though it just felt like 2 steps forward 3 steps back and it was frustrating as hell, there was no fun in playing great football yet regularly dropping 2 stupid points etc... Football is great because there's so many different styles and ways to play, the only thing that should concern Hearts should be "can Levein make them better" if the answer is yes then it's a no brainer. |

Levein's '4-6-0' was totally different to what real teams with real footballers did even when they didn't play with a recognised striker. He said he decided to do after watching BATE take something from Barcelona using it (IRRC). He watched it on the telly where you get no real indication of players' movement off of the ball etc. It was a total nonsense. |
