fabienleclerq Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Stendal I presume wanted the relegation clause. He gets football and fans etc but we were ****ing awful tactically. We've got a diamond Robbie..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gmcjambo Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Would certainly take Weir as DF. Robbie, feeling a bit 'meh' about it but he knows the club and results were good. IF we are in the Championship though it would be a great appointment given what he achieved with us and D Utd. He also has a FAR better sighing record the CL and it looks like he bought well at Utd. Think he would stabilise us after a shocking period since he departed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D4nny_ Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Find it hard to believe Dundee UTD would give us permission to speak to him given what’s going on.

Tazio Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 If this goes through i for one think there is definitely a sporting director in place in everything bu an announcement.

Buzzbomb1874 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 They say you shouldn’t go back but I think Robbie will say he left too soon and I honestly think he feels he has unfinished business. I think he felt smothered under Levein and his time down south will have improved him. He has shown at Hearts and United that he knows what it takes to win the championship and if that’s where we end up playing AB will want someone who knows the league and the teams there. With it being a shorter league season there will be no room for seeing where we are after the first round of fixtures . We will need to get the ground running. For that reason AB might have felt DS was too much of a gamble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is technically a free agent due to a clause in his contract over relegation. I am not fussed over Stendel leaving - he was very slow to react to the situation we were in and continued to play a liability in goals who was chucking them into the net and costing us the points. How is it not? He didn’t have to refuse to take a wage from the club & going by his interview during the week he wanted to stay. Now, we’re paying money to Dundee Utd as compensation & what happens if we win the court case & not relegated. DS is still under contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
