You are correct, and Edmund Purdom was the actor who mimed the songs. Music can bring back so many memories. That movie was released in 1954, and we had a student Prince in our team at that time who soon went on to become the King of Hearts, and indeed Scotland. ❤🇱🇻❤ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meadows Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Stendel has been the number one target for a while ,Neil MCCann WAS Plan B . It has ( obviously ) been more protracted due to issues at both ends . I’d like to defend Dazjambo as he’s been 99% accurate . The bits & bolts of the contract were agreed a week ago, the finer details still being ironed out . Anyone who has read Ian Murray’s book will know AB has prior history for playing hard ball at the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maroonblood22 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Whether the deal is signed or not, I think it's good that Ann has travelled to Manchester to meet him. A good gesture to show him how much we want him I reckon, and he seems the type of character to appreciate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romulus Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 9 hours ago, Normthebarman said: Don't think it's a bad thing necessarily. I trust Stendel to be strong enough to do his thing but also smart enough to ask Levein for any advice he might need. And for Levein to do whatever his thing is in the background without sticking his oar in unwanted. Levein had to go but his knowledge of the game here could be a benefit for Stendel. At least this way, Stendel has the option of tapping in to that if hee feels the need to. If Levein has been in any way involved in this process then it is indefensible.

E6 Inc Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Okay moving away from the battle of the ITKers (thanks to all of you for the entertainment) and assuming it is Stendal, what's everyones thoughts? Personally I'll delighted. Previous clubs have loved his style of football and passion, something we have lacked massively since Cathro came in. No connection to the club or Scottish football so should hold no fear and not pander to the west coast lot. Seems that he really enjoyed connecting with the fans in Barnsley and if does the same up here he has some serious potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jammy T Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Imagine you are interested in the gig at Hearts. Imagine you had been shit on at your previous two clubs. You’d have trust issues right? Imagine then a new club was interested in you and the previous manager - sacked from his manager duties from the club that he loves - was some part of the team selling (not choosing) the club to you as a brilliant club to work for? You'd be blown away. What Budge has been criticised for - too much time for an underperforming manager? You’d be encouraged. Turnover of players because Budge has supported her managers (no matter what the success rate has been)? Bingo! Just about everything our more extreme fans are moaning about are exactly the things that might convince Stendel to join us. People. Engage brains.
