rory78 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Robbie left Hearts 2nd in the league and even then folk were happy he went just after pumping Rangers 2-0 ,he cares about the club and knows the place so could do worse I'd say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it to me too. my guess: United are circling the pan. They want rid of everyone that they can’t afford to pay promotion bonuses and wage rises to. Stendel told Hearts he was off. Probably got another job lined up. Budge didn’t want to be burned, like we have been in the past, for hanging around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Striker Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Smart move by Ann. I really liked Daniel, but presume he's decided to take a job in Deutschland and informed Ann. Can;t really blame him - he needs to earn a living. It's quite amazing though that Robbie would decide to abandon the chance of a crack at the Premiership with D Utd in favour of ..... erm..... possibly another crack at the Championship with Hearts. Seems to me that something might be afoot at Tannadice money-wise - maybe Robbie had become aware that there would be only a meagre budget for new players. Or perhaps Ann convinced him that our legal challenge is highly likely to keep us in the Premiership and cancel D Utd's promotion !! Wonder who he'll appoint as assistant........ Can we please make Gorgie a no-fly zone from now on ........ welcome home, Robbie lad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawaii Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Do we have a Sporting Director in place I wonder? Double unveiling perhaps? Question is due to Kirk and Gallagher deals as well as the players extended recently, combined with the lack of a leak before the Robbie Neilson deal was all but done. RN signed an extension in October up to 2022 so I just hope his Hearts contract doesn’t have the same clauses his Utd one obviously did. Very surprised, but if he can set out 11 players and not go changing 5 players from week to week we might have a chance of building a team and not a collection of individuals.

Championship or Premier League after having gone through the exciting you would like I think he will not be many fans first choice but he will not be bottom of those same fans list He ticks all the boxes especially if we stay in the championship..2 promotions cant argue with that although Daniel inherited such a mess that he needed longer to implement his style without Levein hanging about. I think he maybe underestimated the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
