iantjambo Posted August 29, 2022 Author Share Posted August 29, 2022 Thing with Porteous, if he stuck to the basics then he would probably be a fairly decent defender. However, he has a rotten attitude and thinks he’s a hell of a lot better than he actually is. He’s being found out this season, and I absolutely love it.

Having had a wee look at .net, it would appear that a fair number of their fans have come to the conclusion that Porteous is over hyped mince. They may have missed the boat for getting rid of him for a good price. He’s declined the contract that he’s been offered. He’s no doubt looking to escape to pastures new at the end of this season. He’s still mince though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i want is for him to kb them then no one to come in for him and them need to crawl back to eachother, 9f course with easily seen through spin that he only ever wanted to stay etc. Thatd all be quite funny.

A_A wehatethehibs Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Stendel I’ll always feel a bit neutral about him, and a bit sorry for him. Yes we were still a basket case defensively and he was the wrong appointment when we could’ve gone for more steady-the-ship type who would’ve dropped Poppadom hands day 1 and would’ve probably got us clear of trouble. But end of the day there were 3-4 teams on worse form than us, Stendel was denied his rightful chance of some 6 pointer games we would’ve had post split. Entire result of the season was fake and a disgrace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What people forget is that if we had put someone else in place and stayed up, the course of history would have been different. we could possibly be a mid table team and not made the considerable changes and upgrades that were subsequently put in place. Would people really have preferred that to the short painful period that we endured, for the fantastic journey we are now on. Not me for sure.

It’s a credit to how the club is now, not in my lifetime have hearts been in such a fantastic position.

It's a moot point but had the staying up scenario unfolded, I wonder how the club would have voted in THE vote. Ann Budge seems a different kind of person (a better person operating to a higher standard) to those that normally own/run football clubs but, in saying that, I'm always conscious of my unconscious bias towards Hearts!
