jock _turd Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 At the end of the day, apart from getting dark, it is up to Stendel to prove this lot wrong and get this team of misfits winning games! Let's not beat about the bush he has a massive job on his hands here, as would any other manager we would have got in, I really hope he is up to the task because if they are having a bash now ... if it goes tits up they will have a field day !

Sid Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 This is just Spiers setting a marker so he can claim he was the first to call him out if it goes wrong. maybe some of the hindsight kings could do the same rather than waiting to see how it goes then claiming they knew all along that it would go wrong and blaming Levein and Budge for not knowing better in advance.

My point is that we went through all this before when Cathro was appointed. So it seems a bit daft to say how fantastic DS is going to be when he's not even been in charge for one game and doesn't have his own staff with him. I'll proclaim him as much as the next person after he's delivered rather than before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He conveyed how he wants football played and until that can be put in place 💯 he wants courage shown he’s watched the last three games etc. He was far from unclear about his football ethos. Clearly didn’t wantbto discuss Barnsley and i thought he took his time well when struggling with the accent and was honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Canada Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I wonder if Stuart McCall's haircut would have been a talking point if he'd been appointed?

While I agree there is also no justification in looking for and documenting reasons that he won’t succeed. Needs to run a brush through his hair and speaks a bit funny are in no way evidence that he will not succeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glamorgan Jambo Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Spiers passed his sell by date many years ago. He was the same with Cathro. He's nothing to lose from this position. Can say he thought this would happen if all doesn't end well, and say what a pleasant surprise it was if everything works out. His 'contacts' are raging that none of them got the job.

jock _turd Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I will judge Stendel on what happens on the park not how he looks in a presser! He is in for a rough ride because CL has left the poor ******* will an absolute pile of shite to make a team out of but see if he gets of to a flyer how good would that be? Clunts like Spiers will have to swallow the lot! But getting back to managerial appointments... they are all a complete gamble even the very highest ranked managers can have a mare it has been seen over and over again.

Section Q Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I'm in the neutral corner re- Stendel and dont blame Spiers if that's his honest opinion. Stendel on the other hand didnt bum us up as the big club and do the "usual speak" you hear in Scottish football. Let's be positive though and give him time. I do get the feeling though that he'll be off quick smart. if he gets an offer from a bigger league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moaning and abuse on this thread is a bit tedious tbh; not much response to the substance of what he said. I didn’t think it was a good press conference. I put the blame firmly at the media’s door for that. The questioning from the word go was terrible. Prodding to get a negative angle and get them to slip up about Barnsley. They then focussed on existing staff which is a minefield to answer due to employment law. To then move on to interrogate Ann about Sporting Director. This was all before any questions were asked about his arrival and the managers role. It was a shocker from the people asking the questions. Throw in language difficulties with the Scottish accent and its very easy to see why he might have felt and come across uncomfortable.
