Levein is responsible for the terrible squad and squandered money over the nearly 6 years he has been back during which we signed I think 76 players up to jan 19 as opposed to stendel who has been here 3 months so yes, he is.

I’m at the point of agreeing that Stendel’s style is too risky when we’re in so much shit. We just can’t tolerate poor results and a big change like this is going to incur poor results for a while. I admire what he’s doing but it might seal our fate. What I’ll never accept is the idea that Levein was keeping us up. The atmosphere and culture of the club was utterly rotten by the time he left. In no way does he deserve the benefit of the doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. His sacking was long overdue. Shoring up the defence and scrapping for points is not unique to CL. The press is not working right now though. We need to alter our thinking from now to May.

Exactly. Without going on a massive rant about all the shit Levein has left him with, Stendel has had 1 January window to turn things round. He also has 3 crap goal keepers to choose from (who signed them!) I know we were all expecting to be off the bottom of the table by now but to try and put the entire blame on Stendel is ridiculous.

He was a big part of that era. The debate you came in on was about CL getting the blame for everything going wrong but for nothing that is right. For example, if relegated many will put the blame on CL solely. However, if we win the sc he will get no credit at all. Quite extreme examples, I know. GT was quite rightly pointing out another example along that train of thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was reasonable to accept a downturn in form with the injuries. It wasn't reasonable at all for the subsequent relegation form of results for the months that followed. Levein since October 2018, performed abysmally as manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
