tolcross lad Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I really dont know what to make of Robbies appt. He got us out of the Championship.Ground out results on promotion.Signed Oshinawa and Sammon.Failed v Hibs when it mattered.He has maybe matured as a manager? Is he is on the manager merry go round and knows when to move ? Are there storms ahead for UTD that he wanted to avoid?Why would he want to come to Hearts in the Championship.Does he think Hearts will be in the Premier? And who is the SD who wants him? I am not against this appointment but I have reservations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gizmo Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, gashauskis9 said: It’s too easy to get sentimental with Stendel, but you’ve just mentioned the only two teams he could beat in the league. Reality is, we need a manager who can beat the other teams. You don’t get into the top 6 by beating Hibs and Rangers twice a season, you get in the top 6 by beating the bottom 6. Fair. 1 hour ago, busby1985 said: I look forward to us shutting up shop with 60 minutes to go holding onto a one nil lead. I look forward to us treating the derby as “just another” game. I hope that was the Levein effect. If it turns out to be true, he’ll get my backing regardless of my disappointment. Maybe that cautious approach was instilled by Levein. Ironic though since CL had a decent record v Hibs. 28 minutes ago, Lochee Jambo said: United owner told him that if he wanted to talk to Hearts he was finished at Tannadice as he only wants committed staff. I'd love to have seen Neilson's face at that moment. 15 minutes ago, The Fonz said: Well that was wild.... Decent enough appointment all things considered. Imagine the seethe if we took Utd's place is the Premiership as well as their manager... and/or if they appoint Levein. Could turn into a bitter rivalry. Lovely stuff. Levein for them isn't a bad shout considering he was well appreciated first time around. Reading between the lines, I'm starting to think that Stendel's methods didn't gel with the entire squad (a squad I would not tire of booting up the arse for their intransigence, tbh). He got performances out of Claire and the younger players which also gives some credence to the long in the tooth hardened professionals who were considered to be taking the piss with training etc, and possibly undermined him from the off.

colinmaroon Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I think it goes without saying if we had not pressed to halfway line against defensive teams, we would not have been bottom of the league.

I agree there should have been a comment along those lines in the statement - surprised it wasn't' even if DS is not under contract. That's said AB has got one or two other things on her plate right now. We now have a manager under contract and if true a SD I'd be happy with to follow. Caps off to her for being able to do this whilst dealing with recon, the legal shenanigans and managing a business generally during Covid-19. That's actually pretty impressive stuff.
