PapaShango Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I for one am delighted with this appointment, really liked Robbie the last time and was gutted when he left. He will get us out the Championship no bother at all and I don't think I could have said that about Stendel. Some of the football we played under him first time around was fantastic and he is now a more experienced manager which hopefully benefits us. No idea who the SD will be but I have no doubt that they are already appointed with this news. Don't think it's going to be David Weir.

Thanks Daniel and I hope you find a club soon. Pretty much where I am at. Not many United fans on social media bothered about him leaving. He better approach derby matches in a different manner.

I would've liked to see Stendel given the chance to build a team but wasn't gutted either funny enough. A bit meh about Robbie but he'll be given same support as any other manager My United supporting mate wasn't too bothered. He said Shankland covered up some issue's . He also said he thought Robbie was a bit one dimensional. Anyway welcome back Robbie. As always he'll get my full support . HHGH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambopilms Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Robbie did leave under a cloud, but I think he was getting unfairly judged against the championship season. Toys were thrown out of the pram when folk realised we weren't going to be competing with Celtic for the title. Folk who are still hanging onto the 2-2 game need to get a life, like it's the only thing they remember from the whole time he was here and it will be the first thing they go to when things aren't going well. Better having a boring manager who can win matches than a manager who promises sexy football but delivers nothing but a few sound bites.

Saint Jambo Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Stendel was brought in at great expense to get us clear of relegation and build from there. Unfortunately it went spectacularly badly. If reports are to be believed he then decided to move on rather than wait until we had the certainty of which league we would be in to offer him an appropriate contract. No issue with that, but hardly the club's fault either. Role forward a few years and Stendel should be a very forgettable footnote in Hearts history. He has done nothing to suggest he should be some "what might have been" story but I worry for some of our fans he will be. Time to get behind Robbie Nielson. A cup winner as a player and previously a successful manager with the club. Also the first time since Laszlo that we've brought in a manager who was currently doing well in another role. I'm positive about this appointment. Posters who were outraged that Stendel received any criticism and argued that everyone had to get behind him even when his form was awful but are now chucking their toys out the pram are best put on ignore.

We wanted Daniel Stendel because of his attacking style of play, had an opportunity to really build something good this summer and come back stronger. Instead we appoint a guy we wanted rid of for the eye bleeding football and Hibs capitulation. A guy Dundee United fans were losing patience with? I hope to god he brings Shankland with him. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I backed Dundee United ante-post and was very pleased when they were crowned champions. However, despite their big lead their form had deteriorated before the lock-down and I wasn't counting my chickens. They had some shocking results during the season but they had their ace in Lawrence Shankland. Looking at the Dundee Utd. message-board many don't appear bothered particularly about Neilson leaving, with comments about his boring football. They'd be very sorry to lose Shankland though. I had money on MK Dons when Robbie Neilson was there so I might be a bit jaundiced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBjambo Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Delighted Robbie is back. Stendel was the wrong choice clearly. Two ‘fired up’ victories v gers and hubs were the only highlights of a period of complete inadequacy within our club. He may well be a nice guy and did a half decent job at Barnsley for a season but up here he was not up to the task and his style was one dimensional and far too easy to beat. Another season of that would have either sent us down again - or kept us down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean Louis Valois Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I can't understand why any Hearts supporter would not happy with this news. Neilson has been our best manager in years, had us in second place in the league and we have just taken him off a club who won the championship at a canter. He was obviously desperate to come back to leave a very decent job he had at Utd. Add in the fact that he doesn't need to work with Levein this time round. This is very exciting. I really liked Stendel but the fact is he didnt do a very good job and was absolutely not the man to take us forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he loses that there would indeed be carnage and I don't think he would every recover from it. I really, really hope he does a great job but I keep thinking if the cup restarted with Stendel in post I would be 95% certain we would beat Hibs and about 50% that we could beat Celtic (most likely) in the final. With Robbie I think it drops to 40% chance of beating Hibs and 10% against Celtic, just my gut feeling obviously but for a former player and one who can't have lost that many derbies, we never had a convincing Derby performance under him, too much of the "it's just another game" chat and setting up to neutralise the opposition.

AHS51 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 At first I was a wee bit unsure about it but having time to think about it I believe it's a good appointment. My reservations are that some of the issues that were questioned during his first tenure were being questioned by Dundee United fans - game management, style of football. Also I felt Stendel deserved another crack at it especially the fact he conceded his wage for a few months. While I still have some of these reservations, I think it's good appointment as he knows the club and is obviously someone Budges trusts. He also knows the leagues (premiership or championship depending). Got a feeling he will get a control of the dressing room. What I am really looking forward to is the better fitness levels of the player as it's been is disgrace for a couple of years. I think Shankland has spoken in the press how much fitter he is is after working with Neilson. Also the thought of McCann or Wright as our manager makes me ill. So the more I think about it the more excited I am getting about it. Bring it on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Jambo Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Interesting side note, for all those using MK Dons as a reference point. His win ration was 37.9% The only hearts manager (other than Robbie) to beat that since administration is Craig Levein with 39.62% He has been are only good manager since Sergio.
