Don't have particularly strong feelings about Levein either way but all the fuss about the '4-6-0' was overblown at the time.
All he had to do was play a striker that night but pull him back into one of his 3 attacking midfield positions, at least that way he could've tinkered with it throughout the match and there would always be a recognised goalscorer on the pitch.

Im pretty sure Shakey Brown did that years before it in a game against Belarus except he played 3 strikers, Kevin Gallagher, Gordon Durie and Darren Jackson but they played so defensive but he had those forwards on the pitch, perception is everything, we won as well to be fair, that probably helped.

Bank holiday for me so off work but my gaffer is a big jambo.

Don't think he will be happy at leiven. Cannot recollect him being a great player but he swears he is the best hearts player he has seen??

Said he lost out on a move to Manchester United back in the day (?)but I genuinely cannot remember or was to young to have any real knowledge

Career was cut short by bad injury but apparently he was a player.

Where does the dislike of Levein come from? Purely his poor record as Scotland boss or is there more to it? I've quite liked him since he called out McCurry for his Ibrox performance in the title run in 2007-08, I always felt the light he shone on refs for the remainder of the season worked in our favour. Wasn't too bad at Hearts first time around, good spell at Dundee United either side of a failure in England (Leicester?).
He's an absolute bellend. His hatred of celtic is well known,regardless of his anti McCurry rant.
He was brought up a Celtic fan so not sure if that's actually true,seems to hate the Huns though
Wasnt he a Raith Rovers fan? or Have I imagined that? :ponder:

So Mrs Budge has pulled out her abacus and worked out they cannot afford to follow their new structure as they have overspent on the new stand and under performed on the field. What a charade to drag all those perfectly suitable candidates through a nonsense of an interview process

I think TB was linked with signing him around the same time. He'd wanted Alan McLaren but he wanted to go to rangers and then he did.

Only a few months after we'd signed Tosh. Hearts had a decent backline back in the day

It should be pointed out for the younger posters that Hogg was his teammate when he decked him :lol: A preseason friendly against Raith Rovers, an insight into the commitment he expects...

He was a good central defender but nothing that special. His career was cut short early but that was still 28/29 if I remember correctly, so he would have got a better gig than Hearts if he had real pedigree. A step up from Steven Pressley, probably not as good as David Weir :ph43r:

Levein was a decent defender in his day, but well short of the likes of Miller/McLeish and Narey/Hegarty that were playing at the same time. He'd easily be first choice Scotland centre-half if he was playing just now though.

Call me cynical but Levein in at Hearts shows what a joke their DoF setup is. Think Brendan made some comments, as have others about Cathro doing his best in a restricted environment - imo this latest development just gives credence to those comments. Bit of a joke if you ask me.

Also a bit of a slap in the face for Daly, who must be asking himself why he couldn't just have carried on for the season if they were effectively just going to 'sit on it'.

He'd been knackered by injuries long before he retired.
Levein was real quality 85-90.
