Prof Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 9 hours ago, TheOak88 said: Just to clarify though. I do get the point you are making that Budge is not a football person and doesn’t necessarily have any material value to add to squad matters. It doesn’t look good though when the company CEO decides to take a week in Marbella during a company crisis. Two points to consider. You say it doesn’t look good. Presumably you mean it doesn’t look good too many on here. Short answer to that is, so what. It would be impossible to satisfy many of the roasters on here. Second point is that there is no company crisis at Hearts. There is a football crisis and thats down to the manager, who by early indications is doing a good clear out job.

Sertse Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 What's the chances Stendel is in talks with German players that we don't know about and it's one of the reasons the media are giving him such a hard time, because they aren't getting things to write about?

I can see where Cruyf is coming from but the SD should be chosen by the board and the plan should be to keep them in post through numerous managers if necessary . Not saying they shouldn't look to find someone suitable for Daniel but not one of Daniel's guys like Jorg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got accused of being “at it” or a pant wetter for calmly suggesting that I had a feeling (a feeling and no more) that we weren’t going to sign anyone this window. Not that we wouldn’t try, just that it wouldn’t happen for a multitude of reasons. I still stand by that but would be happy to have my gut instinct proved wrong. Saying that I also said that we have a squad capable of going up the table but more importantly a manager capable of coaching the team to get up the table. So I’m still confident we’ll get out of this mess. Not confident of signings though, and not liking the idea of 4 or 5 games happening before signings happen or have time to bed in if we do manage to get any over the line. It’s been mentioned on here before but Stendel has basically put a ring fence around the players he trusts. Everyone else isn’t allowed to eat or sit with them so that no negativity or moaning can happen. I am buzzing about seeing how this will effect results on the park. Am willing to bet we will see a totally different Hearts come Saturday. We are short on players but if this window is all about clearing the decks then so be it. We have enough left to get us out this mess. Remember, these players are now being coached and managed. They are working on fitness and playing within a system and a shape. They have tactics and instructions, clear tactics and clear instructions. They have one message and one voice coming from Stendel. That’s going to make a huge difference.

salvo69 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Hopefully our star players return from injury and you could say they are as good as new signings. Essentially we should have Naismith, Washington, Souttar, Haring and Walker all returning....that’s half a team of first choice players. I am happy with Joel until the end of the season and ideally a winger with pace and a playmaker and we should be fine until the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t think separating the 1st team and reserves would be a good idea in the long term for development. For now it seems the correct thing to do - with the situation we are in we cannot not afford to waste time, energy on resources. I really hope the players grasp the situation we are in.

The Treasurer Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 My concern is that people (the fans that is) are pinning their hopes on our injured players coming back. Of course it will be great to have the likes of Naismith and Souttar back in the team but they have all been out for a while and may not hit the ground running and are quite likely to pick up the odd niggle. For this reason it is vital that we get at least 2/3 players in that are 100% ready to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, Brandon, my source, didn’t enjoy anything about the old set up. Being asked to train/play with niggles, Gullane sand dunes etc etc whilst certain senior pros got to pick and choose when to train or even show up. Berra passing the buck and blaming everyone else bar himself, he also didn’t like certain players in the press saying that people had to carry the can and step up etc whilst the person saying those things only trained once a week. So he is happy with the change and has mentioned that the place is “buzzing” and that training is great. I’d imagine someone like Naismith or folk with kids and families etc might no be too happy with missing a day off. Or the lazy arses within the squad.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Sounds to me as if Stendel has got very good man management techniques. Every day he is growing on me. If anyone believes the players need to be happy and pampered, look where that has got us. For the first time in a long time it seems, they are realizing they need to perform and graft. 10/10 Daniel Stendel for being brave enough to change things round, if they don't like it, they will fail in football, not just with Hearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
