But he knows fancy names for pressing and it is only a matter of time until he exploits the quality of the Hearts side Better still, he is bringing Cockrane back from Dunfermline and so will have access to a world class midfielder

Tommy Wright said that he saw how the guy managed his last team; he played a high line that exposed them at the back and he thought that his own team could exploit that, which is exactly what happened. I am sure they will no doubt win some games playing a high line but, at present, they don't appear to have the firepower up front and so they were basically tactically out thought on his first game in charge. That doesn't really bode well for them. He should consult their resident tactical genius and try eleven defenders.

Hopefully he gets them to try and play football against us. That will suit us 100% more than it will suit them. We will get Boyle in behind their defence and in behind berra. Its so important we dont do as we often do, and did last time out and play it long and turn it into a scrap. Berra won every header in the last derby up against Kamberi and it was eye bleeding stuff. Get the ball down and play against them.

In all seriousness, Doidge will be a lot more comfortable playing that role in the event we do get roped in to going long now and again. Kamberi has never been that good in the air where as Doidge, even when he wasn't scoring, was winning the ball more often than not.

He looked only half interested in his post match interview. As if he can't be arsed managing a relegation dogfight. He's doesn't inspire confidence and the jambos can only hope he can,somehow,galvanise them. How they cope with the hectic Xmas and new year fixture list could be crucial. Im sure st mirren and Hamilton will target their games v Hertz for wins. Knowing their luck they will pull out of it but they are up against teams very experienced at fighting relegation battles. Not sure Hertz have the skill or the bottle for it. Should make for a fun few weeks. Was listening to a few jambos yesterday and they said a few of those playing on Saturday should never play for the Club again. Levein got it tight as having only coached players who can try and stop other teams and having no creativity or attacking plan at all. They realise this could be a long drawn out battle that will require copious amounts of beer and popcorn for us hibbies. A 4 goal defeat on Wednesday to Celtic sees them bottom. Then Hamilton away. Their fixture list looks now tough as hell for them. Diddums.

"Kamikaze football. Worked a treat when we were in the third division with one of the best squads. But he showed no sign of another plan this season. Preston away we got lucky right on half time when McGeehan equalised completely against the run of play. They ought to have been five up by that point, Preston.

He then sent them out second half like Gladiators with spoons instead of swords. Went for North End's neck. They obliterated us. Could have been double figures"

Lets not forget, he can only piss with the cock hes got until January. That squad is awful, too many older players & totally unbalanced.

I know a few Jambos, 1 knows a director at Hearts, Stendal told Hearts he wanted up to 8 players in January if he was to turn it around & get close to top 6. Budge told him he would have to use the current coaches until the end of the season AND move players on before he could sign anyone as they cant afford to pay off Fox, Daly & MacPhee along with alot of the current squad, which lets not forget, is huge as it is, off & pay to bring in his 2 assistants.

Depending on how January goes i can see him walking away quickly. If they dont sign 3 or 4 QUALITY players that have legs & are free from injury, they are toiling. Haring & Souttar wont be seen for a while yet. Naismith, MacLean & Berra are all well past it. Theyve got 3 hopeless keepers all taking a decent wage, along with a few horrendous players on 3 & 4 year contracts.

For what its worth, Stendal proved hes a good manager at Barnsley, how many managers get sacked when the fans are still behind him? They still love him. He was chucked under the bus by their board who sold their best players & never let him replace them. I wanted Stendal before we got Ross. I dont think hes the right man for Hearts in their current predicament either.

Poor guy doesn't stand a chance. I thought before he came it was an extremely difficult task but based on what you're saying, it is nigh on impossible.

Can't see him getting in the 8 players of the required standard in January if he has to get shot of about the same number first. Have they really wasted that much of the fan's donations? Staggering!

Plus, I'm guessing it will be Levein "finding" the players and we'll know if it is when Colquhoun is the agent.

Their current wage bill is over £8 million and let’s face it they’ve relied on anonymous donations to get this far.. they even had the audacity to say the posted a profit when in reality they wouldn’t have......

They have a first team squad of what 35 players and I’m sure they will add to it. January is an extremely difficult month to bring quality players in so I expect them to throw more money trying to finish above us.

I believe the big donations will stop due to them owning the guy who normally gives them the donations a large sum of money for works he done on the main stand. Could be rubbish mind you.

TO get 3 or 4 quality players in, they would need to get rid of double that IMO from their current squad. Very hard to do that in January especially when the current squad have been utter dug meat. Whos going to want to sign their players?

I keep reading tweets from Jambos saying "Stendel won't put up with this pish", "he will sort this mess out" etc. How do they know that? He's on an 11 game winless run as a manager and now he's away his previous team are picking up. The more they big him up the harder the fall will be. I'd be worried if I was one of them.

You can't help but imagine every word of this verse could be sung by every Jambo during the game against Hibs on the 26th at Tynie

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

I keep reading tweets from Jambos saying "Stendel won't put up with this pish", "he will sort this mess out" etc. How do they know that? He's on an 11 game winless run as a manager and now he's away his previous team are picking up. The more they big him up the harder the fall will be. I'd be worried if I was one of them.

The Jambos are like the inhabitants of an English post-industrial town, who fall behind a lying old Etonian. They literally will swallow anything. The FOH donations will keep pouring in even when they are eating floorboards.

Helping his sister. But can't see somebody who did work on the stand and still owed money making £10+ million donations. Seems a bit far fetched. They have spun a few left field donors to put us off the scent to Queen Anne.

[cocteautwin]

Lets not forget, he can only piss with the cock hes got until January. That squad is awful, too many older players & totally unbalanced.

I know a few Jambos, 1 knows a director at Hearts, Stendal told Hearts he wanted up to 8 players in January if he was to turn it around & get close to top 6. Budge told him he would have to use the current coaches until the end of the season AND move players on before he could sign anyone as they cant afford to pay off Fox, Daly & MacPhee along with alot of the current squad, which lets not forget, is huge as it is, off & pay to bring in his 2 assistants.

Depending on how January goes i can see him walking away quickly. If they dont sign 3 or 4 QUALITY players that have legs & are free from injury, they are toiling. Haring & Souttar wont be seen for a while yet. Naismith, MacLean & Berra are all well past it. Theyve got 3 hopeless keepers all taking a decent wage, along with a few horrendous players on 3 & 4 year contracts.

For what its worth, Stendal proved hes a good manager at Barnsley, how many managers get sacked when the fans are still behind him? They still love him. He was chucked under the bus by their board who sold their best players & never let him replace them. I wanted Stendal before we got Ross. I dont think hes the right man for Hearts in their current predicament either.

There’s no way HMFC are spending cash on the team in January. Anyone with an O level in Accounting and an inclination to spend 5 minutes looking at their accounts can see they are short of £4m cash for the current season.

Also, unless they get to the Scottish Cup final again this season, they are short of an additional half million or so.

The benefactor is going to have to pump in something like £5-6m more if they want to sign new players.

Contracting firm owned by Jim Brydon. £1 million in assets of which £700,000 is owed by debtors, probably Hearts. Don't think the business will generate enough profits for a giveaway of £10 million.

[Northernhibee]

A good manager isn't one who has a system that works with a certain group of players, a good manager is someone who can take a group of players and make a system that works out of them.

The sort of manager who relegated us was the former. The one who rebuilt us and won us the Scottish Cup was the latter.

Stendel sounding confident today:


“I like to change things, look forward to things. I hope we can see small steps then every day a little bit more. Then we can win games maybe before the start of the transfer window.”

I see the manager is saying that the squad is not good enough ! very Butcheresque . That's the sort of thing you like to hear when you are toiling.

[bingo70]

Just heard a journo talking about Arteta getting the arsenal job being a huge risk when they don’t have the players to play the high pressing game he is likely to want them to play.

Obviously it’s the opposite end of the football spectrum as hearts are clearly a much bigger club than Arsenal but there’s still comparables.

Any manager that has a long term vision for a club also has to have a short term plan for the immediate. There has to be a danger for them that his short term plan is going to be to learn about the league. A few weeks ago he hadn’t even heard of hearts let alone know how the other teams in the league play.

You have to wonder if he actually went to watch them before taking the job... if he had the slightest clue of what sort of challenge he was taking on? Judging by his remarks, you'd have to say he didn't.

I remember speaking to James McPake when he was injured before Hearts played Dundee a season back and he was adamant that Butcher's time at Hibs was over the minute he walked in the door and held a meeting with players telling them they were not good enough and lacked strong mentality.........he was scathing about him and said that only served to isolate him from the players and performances dipped markedly - now you may of course then question their professionalism and ask they rise above that however it's not easy if that's your day-t-day working environment and players don't want to play for the management team.

Today has all the hallmarks of that happening at Hearts with Stendel openly questioning the senior pros mentality and will to win. A very dangerous thing to say publicly and will drive a wedge between sections of their squad. Berra is very well liked amongst the players, in fact he is almost a confidente of young Souttar and they socialise together too. He therefore carries a lot of influence that Stendel doesn't have yet. I also know much of their squad didn't rate or like MacPhee and yet he is still at the club apparently running recruitment (from home :faf:).

As a Hibs supporter looking in at them it's an utter shambles and no way to run the football department (having ex manager and interim manager around and involved). Other coaches scattered to the wind and the new manager stating Kirk is the only one he 'trusts' (which admittedly could be a language confusion but I doubt it).

Add into the mix that they have to find another £1.5 million for completion of their stand (which is as astonishing as it is negligent), and their new pitch has already required repair work a few times this season...........and a £400,000 deficit despite numerous donations from benefactors :shocked:they are also paying Levein and Macphee until the end of the season, have to employ a new assistant who won't come cheap, and their new man wants new players in January...........all whilst bottom of the league :greengrin

For all we had a go at Leeann and our new owner when things were tough, with hindsight (me included), yet again, it proves how lucky we are to have confident, strong, and more importantly astute decision makers and (football) environmentally aware staff running our football club.

Let's just hope Stendel is the German Butcher then. The only difference is wee Pat's team were far better than the team Stendel has inherited. At least Butcher had a fighting chance to do a half decent job. Im not so sure Stendel does. January is massive for them.

[Smartie]

The squad Butcher inherited had big problems - a dire lack of creativity and he wasn’t far off the mark when he questioned the character of the squad.

Petrie didn’t help the situation by insisting on “one in, one out” regarding transfers, and it was the fall out from identifying those who were to leave that effectively destroyed the morale in the camp.

There are a reasonable number of parallels with the Hearts situation, which is, as they say, “pleasing”.

They’re also starting from a far more perilous position than the one we were in.

We still have to play on that cow pat of a pitch. Ordinarily that would give them a big advantage, literally no mid field and they play the ball mostly through the air. HOWEVERRRRRRR, along comes our German friend who wants them to play football. That is a game changer indeed.

Might just be me but the standard of teams around the bottom seems higher this year than in previous seasons.

St Mirren play much better football than Hearts (just lack a goalscorer), St Johnstone took Hearts apart at times at the weekend, Livi beat the jambos 5-0 (something Romanov predicted would never happen), Ross County have something about them, and then you have the great indestructible cockraoch of world football, Hamilton Accies.

Stendel has his work cut out, right enough

[Aim Here]

If they play a high line then Boyle and Scotty will have a field day. I get the impression Stendel has underestimated the standard up here. Guess their next two games will tell us more.

Unfortunately, I suspect that tonight's upcoming dismantling by Celtic will probably persuade Stendel to change Hearts from his preferred strategy of high back-line gegenhoofing to something more suited to the team's abilities, at least until the winter break.

Hearts are definitely as bad as we think.

If it was a couple of matches, fair enough, but they've been brutal for over a year now. This isn't a temporary blip or because they're missing a player or two, they're pish.


I agree. This is a long term trend, not a hiccup. If we can get a result on Friday night - a big if - and go into the derby on a high I think we will take them to the cleaners. No necessarily with a hammering in terms of scoreline but certainly controlling the game and outplaying them.

There is no problem over at hearts my jambo mate says they are signing 5 maybe 6 man city players in January that will keep them up.

You know that's right when Christophe Error is admitting they're a bad team.

[007]

Unfortunately, I suspect that tonight's upcoming dismantling by Celtic will probably persuade Stendel to change Hearts from his preferred strategy of high back-line gegenhoofing to something more suited to the team's abilities, at least until the winter break.

I think you're right, that's what they'll revert to but not because Stendel tells them to, it'll be due to them panicking after a couple of attackers get in behind the defence. Apparently they started at a high tempo and pressing against St Johnstone but it only lasted a few minutes. I love that Tommy Wright sussed them by watching a couple of Barnsley games, probably using Wyscout.

[Gypsy King]

The Gegenpress -

Unbelievably Naïve to try and Implement such a game plan with the players at his disposal. It requires pacey centre half's of which hearts have none.

Berra, Halkett or Dikamona playing a high line against this Hibs team...

Stendel could be a Hibs Legend going into the new year.

[RyeSloan]

As we know our cost though when a manager has a philosophy he rarely changes it just because a few results go against them.

That seems to be the thoughts of the Barnsley fans as well so I don’t see Stendel changing his spots anytime soon....and hopefully not before the 26th!

[JeMeSouviens]

If they get the expected humping tonight and lose at Accies on Saturday, it won't just be Levein with the twitchy arse. :wink:

[eastmainsmsh]

cmon lenny and hoops tonight

[Col2]

I agree with most of the comments. They truly are crap. However they should be better given the outlay and perceived quality. They will do everything to win the derby and our record at Tynie is hardly something to be proud off.

Tonight is an interesting one. Everyone has written them off and expect a bumping by Celtic. However football is a funny game and it wouldn’t surprise me if they got a draw or even better. Not base of form or anything but at some point the players must wake up and give it everything?

[Since452]

Does anyone know if Stendel had ever heard of St Johnstone?

There are tractor drivers in Perth who've never heard of St Johnstone far less the Gegenfuhrer.....

[Northernhibee]

The best result would be a narrow loss tonight then maybe a draw against Hamilton. That would leave them equal on points, without a drubbing to make Stendel change his tactics and we can then put them bottom ourselves.

The derby is important as it is likely we’ll have to win it to get back into the top six.

Celtic -3 more than 5/1 tonight. Don’t say you weren’t told about it 😉

[we are hibs]

If celtic win by 3 do the pink brazil go bottom on GD?

[CMurdoch]

Reading JKB and tuning out the posters who don't know what they are talking about one comes to the conclusion that they rate only young Hickey and the Irish full back Smith (who they think is better playing at Centre Half). Every other currently available player they consider poor and deficient in one or more ways.
Stendal currently ploughing his way through the massive squad of players and trying to decide which ones he thinks can do a job. Appear to have got themselves in a real mess e.g. all 3 goalkeepers appear to be very poor including the kid on loan from Man Utd.
Garuccio, Naismith, Soutter, Washington, Haring all still injured. Don't think they will be back until the January season restart although Naismith was supposed to have only a grade 1 hamstring tear (more a strain than a tear) which should only keep him out for 2 weeks but don't expect to see him until the Derby at the eariest.
Potter has been a very very bad and useless boy.

[Aim Here]

If celtic win by 3 do the pink brazil go bottom on GD?

Umm, depends, I think. If it's exactly 3-0, Hearts go bottom due to alphabetical order and the fact they drew with Hamilton in head-to-head matches. (Sadly, the rules say that this isn't what'll determine relegation slots!)

If it's 4-1 or 5-2, then Hearts will have scored more goals with the same GD as Hamilton, so I suspect it'll be no change.

I'd imagine that what he wants to do in every game, especially with the Huns breathing down their neck, Goal Difference could mean everything come the end of the season. I'll go for at least 3-0

If they get beaten 3 -0 they remain 11th on goals scored.

If they get beaten by more they go bottom. Again might depend on how many they score.

If they get beaten 3-0, they'll have scored the same number of goals as Hamilton - 16 F, 31 A. And the two met head-to-head and drew so that doesn't differentiate them. The table will put Hamilton in front due to alphabetical order.

Sorry I read the full table wrong. Both scored 16 and conceded the same.

Let’s hope they don’t score and get skelped.

Pray for Daniel, there's no way he can enter a pub within a 5 minute walk of full time tonight and that was probably a contractual condition.

Hotel bar it is, or he could join the trainee assistant part time sporting director sipping FOH champagne at Gleneagles?

Just heard his longer interview on Radio Scotland, sounded slightly more lucid and less defeated (only slightly).

Admitted they have too big a squad, and that is before they bring any players in. Could be a financial bloodbath down Tynie way in January.
