He’d sort this lot out. If we can’t get Stendel, I’d happily take JJ & BB until June to steady the ship. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannover were an absolute shambles in 2nd place and looking at promotion, when he was emptied. ****ed them up so royally that they achieved promotion the same season. Shambolic.

They hadn’t won a game in five games and went 5th in the second division before he was sacked during an international break. At least do your homework if you’re going to argue your point. They won promotion when the new manager got them winning again. Edited December 2, 2019 by Last Laff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're playing just like we did when he was manager, same tactics and everything Well it’s the same players, the same coaching team, key players are still not fully fit so how could it be much different. Even the St.Mirren game was similar style to the Aberdeen cup tie when Levein was in charge. Nothing will change until mgmt team and/or players change.

Board have no clue on football side beyond Leveins acolytes The “high profile and experienced manager” didn’t apply. They’re rightly scared of getting it wrong again, see Stendhal is apparently fans favourite for the job so go after him as a panic move. I’m not saying I’m not optimistic about him but to read into it the board identified him through contacts and knowledge!!! Give me a break, Kickback created the conditions for this to happen and it worries me the board didn’t have a plan. Pure speculation in your part and Tom English seems to disagree with you.

From league’s that are a step up in quality from ours I may add. Stewart also said he thought pressley would make a good hearts manager so it’s safe to say he’s a slavering erse.

This Tuesday however should be a different story. As much as AB has her faults she should be lauded for the effort she has gone to in her pursuit of Stendel. It’s not been easy but it’s almost done. Well done Mrs Budge. He was in Edinburgh on Saturday and it wasn’t signed at that point. 👍🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were top on the 30th January. His record after that was L W W D L W D. Then sacked. That's not a shambles. His record in the 2. Bundesliga was P25 W13 D7 L5.
