The Hogfather Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Amazing how Daniel Stendel is getting called a fraud for not getting a tune out of a group of players who've been letting us down for 18 months or so.

Agree with you on some of that, what she can do to redeem herself is get rid of Levein, Macphee, Fox, and anyone else that is apart of this vicious negative circle. Bring in Alan Burrows to help her out on the football side of things. She can turn this around, and i understand she has made a lot of mistakes, she has angered me at times as well mate.

But i love this club to much to give up on it, to think how much we as fans pump into this club, and what we have had in return regarding players brought in etc. But still people want to lay all the blame on Daniel Stendel's door. Anyway this was Daniel Stendel going about the town, on his bike after we had beat Hibs delighted with himself 😂. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2577570292522890&id=100008098338301 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex member of the SaS Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Levein was given so much slack yet Stendel is castigated for trying to get players to change style and forget the old manager is still floating around? There have been some huge mistakes made, Levein staying after the cup, levein staying ( long after Budge claimed he would know when to go ) Levein signing well over 100 players since promotion. Budge dithering over getting rid and then dithering over who to get. Levein lovers are gagging for him to be reinstated and I suspect this is the reason for the Stendel out type posts. IF Stendel was to get the same amount of lee way Levein got, was allowed to sign as many players, I very much doubt we would be having this conversation as we would not be sitting bottom. The money wasted by Levein cannot be underestimated and we could have a new stadium and a great squad had he not been appointed in the first place. I have said this since admin, Levein should never have been given any role at Hearts from day one. I don't care how little Budge knew about football, ( and I suppose that is why she picked Levein in the first place ) but she had many more options at the time. Levein has inveigled his way into a position she just can't get rid. I seriously doubt he will be gone even after his contract ends, and should Stendel go I have no doubt she would get Levein back in. For me Levein has to leave the building ( gardening leave ) and never return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These players are the problem mate not him 👍. I've always had the feeling the fans have been backing the manager more than those running the club. I don't understand it, and it's very sad. Hopefully when those running the club make decisions at the end of the season, they'll recognise that. The one silver lining of going down is we can invoke relegation release clauses for those absolute charlatans the previous regime dished out long deals to. I genuinely hope that Stendel is here to rebuild the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactically you can blame Stendel for some things but the way Hearts are run from the top is just ****ing awful. Budge wasting 6 weeks hoping MacPhee would be able to get some results, then dithering about over his coaches while Levein, MacPhee, Fox, Daly were still around! At least Daly is gone but the rest still remain. The whole culture at the club is unprofessional and that's what Stendel said as soon as he came in. Spot on.

Morlich Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 A fraud? Don't think so. He seems like a decent guy who is giving it his best shot. Can he keep us up? Not looking likely. I want to believe in the guy, and I want him to succeed, but his record to date ain't close to being good enough. In any other circumstances we'd all be screaming for a manager with his record to go. He's not going, for now anyway, so I guess we have to keep backing him. At best, the jury is still out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 The biggest fraudster we have is Ann Budge, she’s been pretending to be a football club owner for too long now, the fans got right behind Stendel, the club haven’t, it’s plainly obvious to see! To keep the last incumbent at the club is just plain weird, very strange, and just batshit crazy, it’s still jobs for the boys where Ann and Craig are concerned and she needs to go ASAP so we can rebuild with someone proper in charge who actually knows about football. Stendel will leave Hearts and go on to have a decent career in football management, although a large part of me wants to clear out everyone at the club and leave the manager in place to rebuild the utter carnage that he’s inherited, we, as a club, are a total car crash, and it won’t improve until we’ve cleaned it out!

My problem is that now we’ve spent £4m updating it we hardly produce any players. Now the use of them under the previous manager can undoubtedly be questioned. Getting back to the academy before CL took over, every youngster we produced in the team that was relegated represented their country at some level so even if it was ignored it was still producing better players than we have now, who all contributed in their own way. At least Stendel has used a few of the youngsters and got more out them than CL. Edited March 16, 2020 by Pasquale for King Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where we are sadly lacking though is in the mindset/effort department. When teams come out and attack us we can score on the counter as we did against Hibs. However when teams sit in as Hamilton, Motherwell etc do and hit us on the break we are poor in trying to break them down due to our lack of creativity and defensive ability. The unfortunate thing is that football matches are not won on paper or by the size of your wage bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is then major decisions need to be made this summer as our wage bill in comparison to those clubs is obscene Warning signs were there I don’t know, maybe they would argue yes we are inferior given our results against them. My hopes are if rest of the games are completed we scrape survival, Stendel has a clearout & a decent recruitment to fit his philosophy & we show signs of improvement via results. its taken three years to get this bad & I think it will take two transfer windows on top of the one DS has had to get us back to being in the top six Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
