Jambos1983 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 2 minutes ago, Bozi said: You know I was up for Stendel right at the start, was saying he was who I wanted before the cup semi final. I have tried to be pragmatic about the whole thing, I have tried to give Ms Budge the benefit of the doubt in all of this. I mean they appear to have been very thorough, they have explored all of the avenues, they have kept everything under wraps and they have dealt with it in a very professional and business like fashion. The problem is though that this isn't a normal business, we are a football club and lack of management and leadership has had a huge impact on the playing side without which there is no business. I just want it done, I am glad we have aimed high with Stendel but the goodwill that she should get has been eroded by the dilly dallying. I know we all want a new man in place asap however it appears it's not been as straight forward a deal as others noting Barnsley are being stubborn too.

I suppose we have come this far there is point in walking away from Stendel and we should get this over the line ion the next 24hrs With any luck he can hit the ground running.

FJT Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I know it’s hard for some to take, and can see both arguments, but for me, , it’s got to be a positive sign in terms of the impression of the club- that the last manager, despite rightly getting removed from first team responsibility, cares enough about the club to try to sell the club’s merits to a decent potential manager? If I was the one being shown round I might think that signifies there’s a set up with commitment behind it. 🤷♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, he has yet to receive a pay-off from the English Championship club, who are arguing that the contract is still valid. Both parties are in dispute over a severance package and the Barnsley chief executive Paul Conway has contacted Hearts seeking compensation for Stendel. text and content appears to have changed since I copied that paragraph.

Not going to look through and check your posts,. There are posters on here who can not handle ann budge being criticised for even her most glaring errors. It's her lack of action since last May that's led to the shite we've had to put up with. There was needless name calling and slagging her off by certain posters but that doesn't mean criticising her isn't allowed. Hopefully she is now on the road to getting things sorted and doesn't make a complete arse of it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanbauld Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I am 100% for Craig to be SD. Everything except the first team is going OK, he is a 100% Hearts, Stendel is a strong personality and their relationship would likely be one of mutual respect. Craig will have much less risk of another heart attack so can commit fully to the job, Stendel would be free to concentrate almost totally on the first team. Whats not to like though no doubt the whinging, permanently moaning Neanderthals who frequent this site would have a field day with their monotonously negative postings.

No graffiti on here so not sure if the relevance. I have also shown potential employees around my work, but not for the role I have just been sacked from. Doesn’t matter what AB does some people will never be happy. Be careful what we wish for us all I’ll say. Every club in Scotland out with Celtic would bite their arm off to have AB at the helm. I won’t waste my time stressing about who showed DS around. If AB believes CL is the best man to show him around and “handover” them I’m all for that. He was good enough at it to sell the club to the like of Naismith. If the effort people put into picking holes was used in a positive manner to support what our club is trying to do things would be a lot easier for everyone.
