As I understand it Locke's had expired/was expiring when Budge took over and wasn't renewed. I thought you meant DS. Locke’s had expired, yes. He didn’t necessarily expect it to be renewed but he, “could’ve been knocked over with a feather,” when his replacement was introduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozzyonthefence Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 25 minutes ago, Rudi cant fail said: Haha aye ok Frank. The club has every right to make decisions on managerial appointments as they see fit. The way the whole situation was handled however was shocking as highlighted in the documentary. Stendel could have at least been told that his services were no longer required directly from the club, and not via the media. The whole “ we tried to contact Daniel” line from Anne was amateurish and embarrassing. She maybe did try to contact him but, as with any redundancy situation at work, it should have been handled professionally and delicately and not made public until he was informed. I was made redundant in April myself and would have been raging if I’d found out through a third party or a colleague rather than through the proper channels (although I wouldn’t have been surprised at my former employer!).

Hypocrisy to justify neilson's failings. Anyone trying to find reasons to play down those cup results last session doesn't care as much for the team as much as they do individuals. How the **** can anyone say the Alloa loss wasn't that bad? The budget does works both ways. We done well to beat celtic at home, away from home it is more difficult. I expect us to have a real good chance v them at home despite the budget difference. I however know that works both ways so teams like Raith, St Mirren etc will feel the same about us,particularly when they are at home. The rabid oot gang fail to acknowledge this, they expected big wins home and away v the lesser teams and then expect us to match the likes of celtic and rangers. There are no words to counter this. The logic is flawed beyond belief. You're political analogy is very apt, it's like arguing with a bexiteer. Logic and sense has left the building. No one has said the Alloa result wasn't bad either, you made that up - again, the political comparison is apt - Make things up. Over the season a budget should be telling tho, like it was for us last season and it Should be this season. If we end up around 3rd again and the likes of you are banging on about cup results then the problem is with you. You don't like Bob, you want him sacked. You never got your way so you're in the cream puff and no matter what will remain in it until he's sacked. You now follow your club in a way that is beyond my comprehension, you want us beat so you get your way an will latch on to any argument to justify your position. When we win, you hate the fact you may have to acknowledge not sacking Bob was the correct decision, despite the poor cup results last season. You're not even the worse, 2 posters acknowledged they want us beat so he gets sacked and then they can noise folk up on here and bask in the glory of what would be a Hearts failure. Pathetic Tbh.

Spellczech Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) 5 hours ago, FTH said: On this occasion it was an unfortunate draw that could've (probably should've) easily been avoided rather than pure "luck of the draw" Yeah I kind of agree, on the basis that Robbie seems to have that defender who becomes a manager view that a win is a win, so 1 goal will do. I often get the feeling that when we win by 3 or 4 goals it is because the players relaxed after scoring 1, and the manager would be just as happy with 1-0 as 5-0. Similarly when it comes to defeat, he can live with a 2-3 defeat despite the fact that the rest of us see the below as truly terrible stats: When you read his opinion he is almost slapping himself on the back for his formation change in the second half, but too bloody often he is having to change the formation because he sets up in the first half so badly...Talk of "taking the positives" ignores the glaring problems that the performance and so many others are screaming to the rest of us! The reactive rather than proactive approach that a defender takes into matches is reflected in our manager. Too often last season we concerned ourselves with how the other team would approach a game with us, rather than try to develop a style that played to our strengths and let them worry about us...It did appear that Robbie was starting to get it together in the last few games, and he seems to have taken it into this season (except for last Sunday). I hope Sunday was just a blip, but it was a very familiar feeling setback... Edited August 17, 2021 by Spellczech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haken Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) Years ago, I read a fantasy series (so memorable I can't remember what it was called or who wrote it) where the premise was that the each time the 'bad magic users' used magic to their advantage, it resulted in a corresponding amount of magic available to the 'good magic users', and vice versa. Thus a balance was struck with the magic itself existing in a state that was neither good nor bad. This thread reminds me a little of that series.
