Tenaciousdandy Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Felt sorry for stendal, not being informed we were replacing him directly from Ann is absolutely shocking, he clearly grow fond of us in his short spell in charge of the team, saying he still kept an eye on what was happening with us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the guys featured on the pitch having dinner, donated the air conditioning system in the lounges during the new stand fit out, entirely free of charge. He should personally have Ann Budge serving him for the enormous money he pumps into the club every year imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allystrachan Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I enjoyed it but I was hoping for a bit more passion regarding the covid situation. Even a player to come out & speak their mind. it was clearly a PR stunt & the PR machine want to come across as professional as can be. That was obvious from the way they were dealing with everybody’s interviews. hope they are still filming to catch the cup win next month.

hearts00 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 If I was a fan of another club it would have boring as anything watching that. Completely bland. As a Hearts fan of course it had some interest. However in what could have been an explosive hard hitting series, it was “nice” and a little “soft”. Exactly like our football club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For someone who wants to portray herself as squeaky clean bastion of the business world there was no respect shown, or proper business protocol and that for me is unacceptable. And while you are talking about failure to deliver......Budge has failed to deliver for 6 years Stadium costs.

Jambo92 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Hopefully the players watched and got the fire in their belly again, since Dundee game we've been very passive. I've been guilty of it too but that episode just reminded me how much we should be absolutely rag dolling teams and kicking lumps out of them.

SectionFJambo Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Stendal was clearly strung along - not clear why. I totally agree with the decision he had to go but to suggest a phone call wasn't appropriate before Robbie leaked out. That said the Robbie leak came from nowhere. maybe it leaked unexpectedly.

Gambo Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Stendels departure was poorly handled. The Board did not come across great throughout this especially AB. In saying that I appreciate we only seen snippets. JJ and GL aside the only real passion we seen was from the wee laddie going to the semi and from a female player, both from first episode. We come across as a club with a soft heart, a club with no real fight/determination in it from top to bottom, on the park or off it. I don't think we spend too much money on replacement tea cups/hairdryers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just not required to show any footage from the ladies team. Our focus should be 100% on the first team and not the 'nice to have' side of the club.

gnasher75 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Given how big a story the court case was, the coverage of that was really poor. A lack of detail on the arguments and no sense of the total injustice or Doncaster's incompetence. The whole Stendel affair leaves a bad taste. Such a decent guy treated incredibly badly. Covid didn't help but the way Budge handled it was awful. Seems pretty clear she didn't want him back but instead of being up front she left him hanging and then went behind his back to bring in Robbie. Given how much Levein has been on the BBC since he left it is incredible how little he appeared in this. First two episodes were decent. Third one needed a bit more editing. Pity it didn't end with the Hibs game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
