Our lack of any decent midfielders was clearly the reasoning but even considering that it was poor from Stendel. I like the guy, but that was bad management at every level.

And that change is managing Hearts in the Championship on about half his current salary while watching someone else step into the Aberdeen job and get the 3rd biggest manager salary and 3rd biggest budget and play in Europe next year. Does not compute. You'd have to question his sanity. Of course Hearts is a step up for Aberdeen but not right now. In all seriousness, McInness is kind of the Scot Brown of Scottish managers. He's had plenty of chances to push on from Aberdeen and hasn't taken them. Doesn't believe in his own ability maybe? Or he just likes being well paid and comfy and Hearts will definitely not be a well paid, comfy job any time soon. Either way, I hope we steer clear.

You really need to look it up, he is earning that much and the reason he didn’t go to Ibrox is they wanted him to take a pay cut and he refused. He was given a pay hike from £300k when he turned down Sunderland and again after refusing to go to Rangers. I also asked what a Dons fan and he confirmed it was over £700k. It’s a a big wage cut no matter what. He’s Levein 2001-4 and the Hearts fans already despise the little perma tanned hun *****.

Utter wage thief and should never be allowed near Tynecastle again. Am I doing this right? Robbo did well and I've no idea why any Hearts fan would try to diminish what someone like him did while at Hearts, whether as manager or player. Shan behaviour. As for your Caley comment.

But on the other hand, I don't want him going to a rival club and then poaching all our best players, which basically leaves us in the shit. On our forum (where there are some twats lol), the over riding feeling is that he should not go, mainly because of the fact he's not been as successful elsewhere and due to what happened last time, but what they forget is, Romanov was basically picking the team etc, which would not be the case this time. I've said this on here before but want to repeat it lol: If JR was to leave for the two teams linked with him now, I'd rather it be to Hearts than St Johnstone scum. Hopefully that helps :P.

It dependents what we want? The Championship is effectively a benefit year, which guarantees whoever our Manager is a trophy. Obviously it would be lovely to see John Robertson lifting silverware, but is he the right man longer term? Tommy Wright may not be particularly likeable from an outside perspective, but he has repeatedly worked wonders at St Johnstone and seems to be incredibly popular amongst players, staff and supporters. Maybe we would love him once he was at Tynecastle and for once it might be the case of the Wright Manager at the Wright time 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busby1985 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Tommy Wright. John Robertson. Paul Hartley. Jim Duffy. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 ”we need someone who takes no crap, old school”. If I was petty I’d go through all the old Levein threads and quote everyone who said that’s what we’d get with Levein and look where that’s taken us. What we need is someone with a totally new vision and idea of how football is to be played that will excite the fans and get a buzz around the place. Stendel was handed Leveins cock (the useless squad he’d assembled) and asked to get a tune out it. Not only was he handed Leveins cock he was left with his useless bollocks (Daly, Fox). He faced a player revolt because he expected them to train hard and show up for training, even if they where injured. He then faced a revolt because he told the injured players they had to report to the club on match days and watch their team mates. After that he was told he couldn’t bring anyone in until he shifted and moved on the crap Levein had assembled, something we’ve seen with the player wage cuts is those players seem to have a very high opinion of themselves and loads didn’t want to leave. Throughout all this, Stendel has to play a keeper, poppadom hands, due to us having to pay United for his services (a payment they have now waived). The players he was left with where so out of shape and lacked the basics so much that he had to tie rope around them just to teach professional footballers how to stay in line with each other. The place he walked into was a total and utter shambles, it probably still is due to not being able to be in there trying to sort things during all this. I’ve seen more than enough in glimpses to say he deserves the gig. I’d go as far as saying he is the exact type of manager we need. He’s passionate, has a vision and if he gets the players he needs, we could be very, very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts had to pay man United if Joel never played, hence the reason why he stuck with him and hence the reason why united have now decided not to take the payment. Widely publicised around here that this was the case. Not Stendels fault the players lack all the basics needed to be professional footballers, many at the club even tho we could all see they where miles below the standard required at Hearts. Mulraney wearing air pods out to warm up etc. Stendel was left a scabby cock as I’ve said. Tommy Wright has worked wonders for St Johnston and you are right, he shouldn’t be in that list I mentioned. He also shouldn’t be the Hearts manager, IMO. His style of football is awful to watch and would be the same as Leveins outlook. Am sick of watching Hearts suck the life out games with out balls and cloggers in midfield. He done a fantastic job at St Johnston but it’s a no thanks for me.

A_A wehatethehibs Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 The first thought on Hearts fans minds -> "in what way is this guy shite, what negative things can I say about him?" Try thinking -> "in what way might this guy be a good option? what positives does he bring?" For me, it's Hartley or Robbo. I think we need someone in to help lead us back that positive Hearts spirit which they both embodied as players. Take the fans back to a better place, happier memories of what our club was once all about. For some reason, that now gets disregarded in favour of stats but I think sometimes it's an important thing in a manager, there's certain times when a legend is the right call. Look at Liverpool when they brought Kenny Dalglish in a couple of years back, won the first trophy in what 10 years he got their players buzzing to be Liverpool players. Hartley and Robbo have both experienced success and failure as managers. It's about how prepared they are as characters for the monumental challenge that the Hearts job is. And what spirit they will bring back to the club. It's about the right man at the right time. Cometh the hour, cometh the man. Besides those 2 legends, Tommy Wright is the obvious candidate. No compensation, no sky-high wages (rules out Robinson and McInnes). A seasoned, experienced, proven organizer and deliverer of results who knows how to get the best out of limited players. Ok not guardiola but we need someone in the building who has the broad shoulders for the job and competitive attitude, who will send out a team that is well prepared, ready to compete at the required intensity. Personally I want someone who makes me feel good about life though so that makes it difficult to get behind Wright, he would have to do some job to win over the Hearts fans.

He’s under contract so if hearts wanted to part company they’d have to buy him out. That’s assuming he doesn’t leave through mutual consent.

Does not compute. You'd have to question his sanity. Of course Hearts is a step up for Aberdeen but not right now. In all seriousness, McInness is kind of the Scot Brown of Scottish managers. He's had plenty of chances to push on from Aberdeen and hasn't taken them. Doesn't believe in his own ability maybe? Or he just likes being well paid and comfy and Hearts will definitely not be a well paid, comfy job any time soon. Either way, I hope we steer clear. Check my recent post I said he wouldn’t come to us in championship. Stendel contract was was more than 50% McInnes for sure. Like I said, he wants a change and he isn’t short of a bob or two.

If Robbo or Hartley or McCann has no Hearts connections, suggesting them would see you laughed off the board. Hearts legends and men I’ll forever love but I don’t want either near Hearts. Stendel walked into a shambles. In glimpses, after breaks when he’s had a proper chance to work with the players for a length of time, we’ve seen how well we can play. Has he made mistakes, 100% he has, as any new manager would. Beat Rangers twice, scored 3 at Easter road and got us to Hampden. The things he’s had to deal with since coming in have been a joke, am willing to give him a shot. Well said, agree with all of that. Never underestimate the shambles he walked into, all while the previous clown lingered in the background. But I digress... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
