AB seems quite happy to give them that chance and let them try to turn it around. Cathro got too much time , Levein got too much time. At least the squad Levein has left us with has potential , how it would work if Stendel does come in is a different question though. His style appears to be very different to what anyone plays up here. All good against at Rangers or Celtic not so much against Hamilton at home. None of us know how that will go or how Stendel would perform up here but at least if he comes in those who have any passion for Hearts will unite behind him and the club again for a week or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that stage I wanted Stendel, he wants to play the game the way we like,high intensity,high pressing,inject some excitement into the fans. Playing this way will get Tynecastle rocking and,hopefully a bear pit again. I had kind of given up hope a week ago that we would get him but am getting really excited that the best candidate is getting the job. Would be an excellent birthday present if its announced today happy birthday. 🍰 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigO Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 12 minutes ago, Homme said: The good thing is it only takes a couple of wins on the bounce to move right up the league - look at Hibs. So long as we steer clear of relegation and hopefully get another wee cup run then most should be satisfied. Then he can have his pre season where he can really be judged from there on in. And the funny thing about hibs is they'll all be feeling all fuzzy and groovy right now but by all accounts they were second best against both Motherwell and St Mirren. Games change on weird things. St M battering them, they get a deflected goal from their first attack. We had a chance before Killie scored, that goes in, its all different. A bit of Hibs' recent luck would be nice. More likely to get "luck" if you're positive though, if you know what i mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swanny17 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I'm not convinced it is a done deal as yet i.e. signed, sealed and due to be delivered. However, it appears that we are close and perhaps the finer details of the deal are being ironed out including the hiring of DS's own back-room staff and the departure of those failed coaches already at the club. If/when this is complete I think we'll have an announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not talking Ibrox Sunday but in general considering where we find ourselves in the table. Bottom six, comfortably will be okay personally if we see there’s a structure change and something trying to be developed going into next season and not just diagonals to Uche and pretending we’ve changed the way we play. We have a battle to stay off the bottom at the moment though so winning games of football to begin with is badly required. Even if he is hired this week, I would think it’s unlikely he would take charge of the Rangers game anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Dee Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Like most, I’d never heard of this guy until he was linked with us. Therefore, I have no opinion on what he can or can’t do. If he gets the job, I’ll be 100% behind him -but there will be a massive clear out of players to match his perceived ‘style’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could rocket up the league or be seriously detached. The latter is looking more likely atm but in football things can change very quickly.

Alex Neil commented that Barnsley were very good in the first half hour of most of their matches , reading the match reports seems true, but they then became a soft touch. The one year and out twice with a gap year is probably a bigger issue. If we all remember Burley's Hearts basically did **** all most second halves. We were usually 3 or 4 up By then but the point remains. If we win the game in the first half then all to the good. Would prefer 90 minutes of pounding but a win is a win.

Ribble Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Was randomly speaking to Paul Dickov last night and his opinion was that Stendel is pretty well regarded down south and that it'd be a bit of a coup getting him to Hearts. He also said that he (Dickov) was very close to getting the Hearts job about 6 years ago so i'm thinking it must have been after McGlynn was sacked?

Bauld Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 As much as I want Stendel as manager it worries me that he seems to not want to be here and would rather stay in England, if reports are to be believed. If that's true, if he does come up here and is successful it is a certainty he will head south at the first good offer that comes in. Which could leave us back to square one just as we are starting to get back to where we should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
