Nookie Bear Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 All we can do is treat him like a new manager, give him our support and benefit of the doubt and see what happens. If we kick off Day One with fans moaning about cup replays (which were abysmal at the time) then it’s going to painful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Levein, he will split the support. There was zero need for this appointment at this time. Is really nothing to do with FoH. Fan owned not fan run. And this appointment definitely doesN’t split the support. A small minority will for unfathomable reasons be disappointed while the others will look at the facts. During a time of significant crisis in Scottish football we have just re-signed one of our most successful managers of this Century. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glamorgan Jambo Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Realise not all will be on board with this. Personally I think it’s an excellent appointment. My concern with previous appointments by Ann was she seemed to be blinded by what folk said they were going to do. And ignored the harsh reality of what they’d most recently done. You can’t say this appointment ignores the realities of immediate past performance. Feel very sorry for Stendel but the thought of him taking the first round of championship fixtures to work out the league in a shortened campaign caused me a lot of concern.

NaturalOrder74 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 It’s been since we pushed him away things got bad I don’t think anyone can argue with that. I thought United were rich at the moment ? Sure I’ve heard that from a few sources, seems unusual to give away their successful manager. I don’t see why people are unhappy be interested to hear who would be better, I mean DS arguably could have gotten better if he had time But Robbie’s a safe pair of hands from day one in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can it be a false position when we won enough points to get us there? That makes literally no sense. dundee United and rangers both caused their own downfall in that cup. One result is what you base neilsons time with us give me results over “flair” any day. We are bottom because we didn’t win enough points. We need to win points.

deejtee Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 The belief that Stendel was going to be a game changer was starting to look a bit like the same delusions with Cathro. Robbie has been successful here and at United. Time to stabilise the team which has been really crap since he left. I was thinking it was just a wee press rumour but not unhappy especially looking at some of the other names in the frame. It will be interesting to see how Stendel does unless he drops off the radar and I am sure we wish him well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kinda comes across like Budge has run out of ideas on the football front.

whodanny Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Wonder if AB knows something. 1. We're going down, Daniel's contract is invalid, Robbie knows how to win a championship. 2. We're staying up. Robbie gets to manage in the premiership again, maybe at a lower cost than Daniel. Would you rather manage us or Dundee Hubs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAlim Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Assuming Gallagher and Kirk will be part of the backroom, think Robbie could do worse than involving Locke in some way, purely for the big fixture motivation similar to Paulos reign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No of course i dont want any staff/players having to take wage cuts.But that will pass in time when this situation is over,its not here for ever. Utd will sell him if we offer a fair price .They have over spent in there effort to win there lge.Plus they got him for nothing from Ayr utd so all profit if they sell. Shankland will go if we are paying him more than utd. Might be better to be top scorer in the championship than average in a tougher lge. Just my opinion of course as the above is yours.

Hopefully he’ll bring in a couple of key players with him and the fans will give him all the support he needs. FFS don’t start all that hounded out pish! He left to try and prove himself in England for more money. It didn’t work out but he’s a proven manager in the Scottish Championship so probably good timing to get him back if that’s the league we’re going to be in. Strange move for him though given what’s going on and all the uncertainty. Maybe he fancies a Lowland League title.🤷♂️ Maybe we could hire a plane to welcome him back?
