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. Totally agree, so what if Levein is involved in some way in the recruitment process, he knows more about football than Ann does for sure! He’s also very good at selling the club to people who we want to join, and I for one wouldn’t mind him staying on in some sort of capacity, just as long as it’s not manager or anything to do with the players side of things.

Enjoy them myself especially if poster has a bit of previous. Believe it or believe it not don’t pish yir breeks. Exactly mate, adds a bit of intrigue, seems fairly simple to me. Everyone remembers the posters that continually talk shite and judge for themselves. Certainly rather discuss a ITK rumour than Craig Levein still.

But in the interest of balance: It makes the owner look clueless and unable to make proper decisions without her friend, ex DoF and ex manager advising her. What will the new manager think of that? Will he believe that Budge will make all future decisions as CEO or will the ex DoF and ex manager still be advising her, as a 'close friend'?

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. He’s an unknown to me. Seems to talk a good game but time will tell if he is a success or not. I have friends in Hannover so will be interesting to get their reaction if he does join us.

I’ve honestly not been as excited about a (albeit still ‘potential’, at this stage - no offence daz, etc.) managerial signing since we announced Burley. Fingers crossed that he’ll have the same effect (and at least Ann will not try to find an excuse to sack this guy if the fans appear to start loving him more than They do her!)
