martoon Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I hope he has and never finds them again. Play Kirk's youth team v. Aberdeen. The worst they can do is lose which will happen anyway with Levein's mob. Budge, Levein, MacPhee and the majority of the squad can gtf as far as I'm concerned.

Victorian Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 ALL about the players. They developed some kind of dysfunction months ago. Looks like they're not arsed about doing something about it and would rather slink off. I give us less than 50% chance of staying up. Forget Levein or Budge. These players have chucked it.

With the exception of 2 or 3, they are a disgrace and have been for too long. I'm glad Stendel is falling out with some of them because they need told the truth about how pathetic their application and attitude is. Agree with Captain Canada. If it ain't hurting, it ain't working and ....the truth is going to hurt for many of those players who are earning respectable wages to do a job for us. This threat could be turned on its head, if Stendel hasn't lost the dressing room then we might not have light at the end of the January tunnel to look forward to.

amadjambo Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I doubt he’s lost the dressing room, and if he has then the players that are unhappy should be free to depart immediately. There’s barely any that I would be sad to see leave. It is clear to me that Stendel know exactly what the problems at the club are. On one hand you could argue that he should be more pragmatic and try and grind out results until getting his own players in. While on the other hand he really needs to see which players buy into his ideas and which are suited to playing his style. Looking at his subs today tells me he knows what the problems are, but he’s very limited in the options currently available. And while this might not be a popular view, I’ve seen us play far worse and win in lots of derbies over the years. Apart from gifting Hibs two goals they created next to nothing, and we created loads of chances. But we need some major surgery very quickly if we are to stay up.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 He really needs to get at least five of his own players in before we judge his managerial prowess.

Budge and the fans have HAVE to back Stendel now by clearing out ALL of the old regime, unless Stendel wants any of them. Then appoint his coaches and give them freedom to get rid of players and bring in his targets. She’ll need an administrator, or sporting director to help with the off-loading and new signings but having Levein or McPhee involved is undermining everything, even if their roles are relatively benign. Cant see she has any choice and these ate the only positive things she can do immediately. The current squad and set up show no sign whatsoever of being able to get us out of this mess.

Gizmo Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I doubt it but if a professional like Whelan has chucked it over Stendel asking him for more, then he can go train with the kids. And that goes for ANYONE who has the temerity, having served up pig swill for months, to complain. Stendel needs to show his mettle and not take a single bit of crap off any of them. This is now a battle - anyone who does not get that needs binned. Irrespective of reputation, wages or any other considerations. Also, pains me to say it but Levein needs to **** off. I had a lot of sympathy for a guy who had us flying at the top of the league and then suffered catastrophic squad injuries and personal ill health to boot. But, frankly, if a new manager with a decent reputation can't get much out of these players, and the injuries keep piling up and form/confidence of supposedly decent players cannot be recovered - then I'm afraid that the issues have to be considered systemic and he was DoF as well as manager and entirely culpable. We have no time for sentiment, though neither will I stoop to abuse. Budge also needs to show leadership and take firm, decisive action by getting Stendel's coaches in and loosening the purse strings in January.

Locky Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Lost the dressing room? It wasn't his dressing room to lose in the first place. Guy has had 4 games at the club, and has been hung out to dry every time by these heartless ****s. We got what we wanted with Stendel, someone with no affiliation to the club or any of these players, and he's sussed every one of those shitebags out in an instant, and they don't like it. The players can revolt all they want, their remaining time at this club will be a horrible experience, because there's not one of us supporters who's backing them. Some will stay of course, and those who buy in to Stendel's programme, roll up their sleeves and carry us forward, then good on them. But right now, there's not one player I would lose sleep over if they left tomorrow. This is like when Ian Cathro's squad downed tools, and I ****ing hated every one of them for it.

amadjambo Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 The rot set in about 13 months ago. Stendel has come in and been as diplomatic as he possibly could be, but many players and coaches will see the writing is on the wall for them, and be fighting back. Budge has to back Stendel. The fans certainly aren’t siding with the players over this, that’s for sure. He shouldn’t have gone home for Christmas though. Odd decision.
