He had us 3rd, then 2nd likely on a fraction of our budget right now as well. That was after pissing over hibs and rangers in the championship as well. I'll take that now.

Don Dan Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Heart of Midlothian Football Club is delighted to announce that we have this evening agreed terms with all relevant parties for the return of Robbie Neilson as manager. The 40-year-old rejoins the Jambos on a 3-year-deal after compensation was agreed with Dundee United. A trophy winner in spells as both a player and head coach at Hearts, the former Scotland cap needs no introduction to anyone of a maroon persuasion. Robbie spent nine-years playing in Gorgie, where he won the Scottish Cup, helped the Jam Tarts to second-place in the league and the Champions League qualifying berth that went with it, and scored a memorable UEFA Cup winner in Basle. He took over the club’s managerial reins in 2014 and immediately took the boys in maroon back to the top flight with a record-breaking Championship-winning campaign. A third-place Premiership finish followed the season after, and a return to European football, before Robbie moved down south to join MK Dons in 2018, returning to Scotland with Dundee United later that same year. He led United to the Championship title last season before deciding to come back home to Tynecastle. Speaking to the Official Hearts Website, Robbie said: “You don’t turn down the chance to come to a club like Hearts and I’m absolutely delighted to be coming back. “I had some great experiences here, both as a player and manager, and I’m keen to pick up where I left off. “Everyone knows there is a really good squad at Hearts and I’m excited to begin working with the players and staff. “Finally, I’d like to say thank you to Dundee United for the opportunity they gave me two years ago. I hope the United fans feel that together we managed to restore the club back to where it belongs.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flow State Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Strange one all around. Wouldn't say as a majority Hearts fans would be clamouring for him back nor do I think United fans will see his departure as a travesty. Think its an odd move for him too given we are the bigger club undoubtedly but realistically will be in a division below the top. Not against it either mind you. Clearly Hearts through and through.

Thommo414 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Gutted to see Stendel go. I really thought we would kick on under him after the summer. Not upset to have Robbie back, a more experienced, probably wiser manager than he would’ve been when he left. Lets hope he’s hungry for a third championship winners medal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Just guessing here but suggests that we expect compensation, rather than reconstruction, so we've gone for a manager with experience of getting promotion.

Dr. Bapswent Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Bad decision for me. Not because I don’t like him. but I don’t think you should ever go back. Is there really no other managers out there as good if not better? An unnecessary lack of vision and ambition for me. Just repeating the same old same old.

Australis Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 So unexpected. Has he been brought in to get us out of the championship if the court case goes wrong? Got us up easily and United at the top last year. I thought it might have been wee Robbo. Less budget and players at Inverness but he did well.

Tennant's 6's Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 This has come ot of nowhere. It doesn't say who his coaching team are, is Andy Kirk still going to be a first team coach ? Hopefully he adopts his initial style of play, and not the latter cagey, cautious approach. We really need to show no mercy to some of these clubs that have tried to kill us off. A role for Gary Locke to gee the players up and help improve Robbie's derby record? Either way, welcome back Robbie. HHGH FTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If was said, some time ago, I think by Stendel’s agent, that us being “relegated” by the rigged vote, meant the break clause in his contract was triggered. It doesn’t matter, as far as his contract goes, if we get reinstated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soonbe110 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 5 minutes ago, OTT said: Obviously I'm really disappointed to be losing Daniel and his team. The last 6 months have effectively been pointless. Robbie was playing nice attacking football in the Championship and there was a belief that Levein was partly responsible for the sudden change to negativity. How true that is, I guess we'll find out. ] One thing I really liked about Neilson in his first spell was the emphasis on fitness with the double sessions. Seeing us turning up and not being the fittest team these past few seasons has been insulting tbh. Its unprofessional and the least we should be able to expect. He's got his work cut out but happy enough with the appointment. First signing Gordon? They very nearly were pointless. Certainly far too few points.
