I'm not convinced by that at all. Cathro was hopelessly out of his depth.

Yeah he was. At the beginning tho there was signs that the team had started to buy into what he was selling. After the Dundee collapse it was pretty clear he was out his depth and the players couldn’t be bothered with him. All my opinion of course.

More than half the managers in top league are non-Scottish. Did any of them in the studio mention that? 

So in reality only Livingston .hibs,Hamilton and Aberdeen have a Scottish manager .Ross county have joint managers and could you imagine their response if we did that the steam would be coming out their ears

Berra’s afraid stendel might introduce something called a football to training sessions.

 

Seriously though he’s a good guy and been a good servant but it’s time to move on and he knows it. Wish him all the best but a club captain shouldn’t ever be sitting on his arse when meeting a new manager. Completely disrespectful.

 

Sorry but for me he’s been in and met them all. Marketing team then come in and go...right lads we’re going to film you all meeting him for the first time to put out on social.

 

Players reaction is more to do with the cringe factor of staging it than what they think of the new manager. That’s my take on it anyway.

Let's hope he separates the wheat from the chaff, and players like Berra are shown the door pronto. Players who are old, make far too many mistakes, and are very very slow, will have no place in this team. 

Well that will see Whelan away then as well..oh and Maclean as well

Very much so because if McCann had got the job JJ would have been SD and a coaching role for Locke as well. They were gutted when she terminated the interview. 

I’m glad we are trying something new and not an ex player. Stendel more intriguing and won’t just lie down to the old firm since new to it all

Maclean yes, I agree, but Whelan has more quality about him than the other two. Better passer of the ball, better positioning, better football brain, played at a higher standard.

with stendels style and uches work rate I think he’s still going to be a key player. Him and Washington up top with Naismith behind can close down defences

He's old, he's very slow and that was what you stated would see Berra out as well as others

 

I am not a fan on what we have seen so far and he needs to get his finger out for all I am seeing is a player looking to keep fit for the Republic in case they make the Euros

[i8hibsh]

Just watched it. I thought Budge came across ok enough to be fair and DS seems a VERY likeable guy.  I think the players will really take to him.

 

Kinda all pointless though hearing that the losing common denominators are still very much about.

Then I'll rephrase for arguments sake. Berra is finished, error prone, and becoming a bit of a liability.............Whelan imo, still has a couple of seasons in him.

Still need to clear out the talentless dead wood. We might have to wait until the end of the season though, unless they've all brainwashed Budge. I exclude Donald Park and Andy Kirk from that, of course.

It's fine lines. I don't think Cathro had it in him to command a dressing room, but I do wonder if we hadn't lost Paterson in particular that things might have gone differently for him and his team, just as if we hadn't lost Naismith when we did it might have gone differently for Levein. In both cases it was like losing 2 or 3 players, and seriously reducing our ability to attack.

Agree

 

[Hearts_fan]

BBC Glasgow are fast becoming a total disgrace to Scottish football (and they already are traitors to Scotland). I heard their sports news bulletin earlier, at 5pm I think, and – once again – their sumary of Daniel Stendel was loaded with prejudice as they detailed his final 10 game record at Barnsley without any mention of his achievements the previous season. Any impartial reporting would have reported both his most recent record and his outstanding achievements last season, but they didn't. They don't want Scotland to hear positive things about Hearts. 

[jambogemz]

Who cares what the guys on sportsound have to say!! Had we appointed a Scottish manager they would have still found a way to make it negative. 

 

I'm delighted we've got it done at last and I'm cautiously optimistic. He's got a mammoth task on his hands and I really hope the players will buy in to his philosophy and style. 

 

All the same, absolutely buzzing for Saturday.

Disagree re Whelan. Under Stendels way of playing, he's the ideal kind of player to sit in front of the back two imo.

Berra may be finished in your mind but we'll miss his aerial ability and probably lose goals if he's not adequately replaced.  Halkett lacks aerial command, Souttar is injured and Dikamona hasn't overly impressed so far.

DS probably won't be able to bring in too many players in January and I'll be surprised if he doesn't see his priorities as being on the wing and in MF.  If he rectifies/improves our shortcomings further forward, it is likely there will be less pressure on our defence anyway.

uber alles (correctly written in German "ueber alles") has nothing to do with the Nazis, but was a line of a poem written in 1841 which was used for the German National Anthem. It does not translate as "above all" (that would be "ueber allen") but rather "more than anything else", as in "ich liebe Dich ueber alles in der Welt" (I love you more than anything else in the world). A misleading translation was purposely chosen by the Allies during the second world war for propaganda purposes.

 

Or am i missing something here.

I think uber is perfectly good German provided it has the umlaut above the "U"

Yeah, never underestimate how much extra a likeable, confident, enthusiastic manager can get from players and fans.

[Uilleam]

The players have to want to play for the club and new manager Stendel. If the players still adopt negative football hope Stendel gets rid of the negative players a brings in players who want to play his style of football

Stendel will suss out Berra in 5 minutes, only a loser with very low expectations would keep a player as slow as Berra at the heart of our defence. Hallett he can work on and improve, and my guess is he'll bring in someone to replace Berra as soon as possible.

You seem to have a real down on Berra.

He has been playing below par but IMO there is no one to match him in the air.

My guess is that DS will suss out our lack of wing power and lack of MF pace first and if he does that, Berra will be under much less pressure.  I don't think he (DS) will have the resources to do much in January so he will want to spend what pennies he is given to best effect.

A loan keeper wouldn't be far down anyone's list of priorities either.

as I understand it geggenpress doesn’t base its formation on wingers - it’s a narrow formation which relies upon width from attacking full backs

 

I am sure there are variations but that’s as I understand the basics.

[Jeff]

We played some great football under Cathro but when the going got tough he wasn't a great man manager and because of that the players stopped playing for him.

 

The guy is obviously good at what he does though and is probably involved in the tactics side of things in someway at Wolves

His aerial play as of late has been hopeless as well. headers spinning out for throw ins under no pressure or just completely mis-reading the ball.

 

Think it's a confidence issue more than anything though

I think we're all getting a bit hung up re geggenpress.  It might be suitable against the likes of Rangers, Celtic, Aberdeen and maybe even Killie and Hibs if we can identify enough players capable of carrying it out.  I'm less sure it will work quite so well against teams who sit in.

Time will tell.
