	Craig Levein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Craig Levein (born 22 October 1964 in Aberdour) is a Scottish former professional footballer and football manager.
		Levein began his senior football career with Cowdenbeath who he joined from Lochore Welfare in 1981.
		However, it was not just injuries that kept Levein from playing during his time at Hearts; he was once given a 12 game ban after punching, and breaking the nose of, Hearts teammate Graeme Hogg during a pre-season friendly against Raith Rovers.

	The Cunning Fox - norfox.net
		Levein was according to Tim Davis (City's chief executive) a clone of Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson, and he had done fantastic things at Hearts.
		The situation at the club wasn't as dramatic as Craig Levein described it, and the players he released after the season was released mostly because he wanted a change.
		Levein is still experimenting with players that are all uncertain of what their position are at the club.

		Craig Levein is well known north of the boarder, and his life in management isn't that long, but what he has done at Hearts talks for itself.
		Levein was highly rated and Hearts got his signature in a £ 30 000 deal which took him to Tynecastle in November 1983, at the age of 19.
		Levein managed to structure it up and they ended 5th in the last season he was there before taking over as manager at Hearts in December 2000.

	Craig Levein: Romanov was the straw that broke the camel’s back - [Sunday Herald]
		CRAIG LEVEIN has revealed that uncertainty over Vladimir Romanov’s plans for Hearts was a significant factor in his decision to quit Tynecastle to take charge at Leicester.
		Levein acknowledged he could not have worked under the same circumstances in which Robertson now finds himself, with Anatoly Byshovets having arrived as a director of football-in-waiting and 20-odd players from eastern Europe flying in earlier this month on a trial funded by Romanov.
		Levein also revealed that he feared a certain section of the Tynecastle support would have turned against him if he had stayed and the progress of recent seasons had been undermined by the departures of so many key players.

		Craig Levein maintained that dropping out of the SPL's top six need not be a financial disaster, although he admitted it would be a blow to Hearts' prestige.
		If Levein is to build quickly on the progress the club has made after his drastic early cuts, he could certainly use that sum.
		Levein admitted afterwards that it is rare for him to 'have a go' at such a consistently reliable player as Pressley in the dressing-room but that error was, in the final analysis, pretty costly to Hearts.

	Murrayfield or bust - Alexander
		Craig Levein is halfway through a leg of darts against Peter Houston, his assistant, in the office of the football department.
		Levein could have stayed out of the Murrayfield minefield but avoiding confrontation is not in his nature and, having taken a keen interest in the finances since his appointment, he can see no other way for the club to survive.
		Levein has been particularly disappointed by what he views as the rabble-rousing and publicity stunts of Gary Mackay, a former Hearts teammate who is now an agent and radio pundit.

		CRAIG Levein, the Hearts coach, yesterday accused the Hibs manager Tony Mowbray of unloading "a lorryload of sour grapes" in his post-match analysis of the Edinburgh derby which Hearts won 2-1 at Tynecastle on Sunday.
		Levein was puzzled when Mowbray didn’t come into his office after Hearts defeated Hibs 3-1 in the Festival Cup at Tynecastle earlier this season.
		Mowbray planned to telephone Levein to sort out the situation but thought criticism of him not coming in for a chat afterwards was "laughable".

	Alan Maybury - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, when still unable to displace Kelly upon his return to at Elland Road, he decided it was in his best interests to leave, with Craig Levein paying £130,000 to secure his services for Hearts in August 2001.
		Alan made his Hearts debut in a convincing 3-0 victory over St Johnstone later that month, and quickly impressed with his determination, consistency and versatility, becoming an integral part of the team that would record successive third place finishes in the SPL in 2002/03 and 2003/04.
		When Craig Levein left Hearts to manage Leicester, he made signing Maybury one of his priorities and Alan joined up at the Walkers Stadium in January 2005, where his goal will be to help the Foxes return to the Premiership.

	Levein steals back Hearts' pride - 16th August 2003 SportFocus news
		Craig Levein’s potentially historic refusal to pay an SFA-imposed fine will surprise nobody who is familiar with the decisiveness he brings to his work.
		Other former players of his pedigree have been known to be too sniffy to accept such an appointment, but Levein was never likely to insist on starting from one of the ladder’s upper rungs.
		The premeditation of the "thieves" affair could expose Levein to accusations of an unbecoming ruthlessness, but, in common with every manager of substance, he has a multi-faceted personality which encompasses sympathy, understanding and a readiness to make allowances in the cause of improving players.

		While Levein may have had much to be satisfied with, the match reaffirmed the fact that the depth and experience of Hibs’ squad is not what Mowbray would like - at 23, loan star Craig Rocastle was one of the ‘old heads’ in their line-up.
		Levein on the other hand was just delighted to have his top scorer from last season back in the reckoning for what is a massive month for the Jambos with vital SPL games, CIS Cup and UEFA Cup action looming on the horizon.
