Daniel Stendel

[H18 SFR]

That would be a ****ing disaster. Really hope not true

Now my mate is saying that the meeting was unscheduled, but scheduled if they failed to win 😂😂

It's the start of the relegation planning apparently.

[Bishop Hibee]

A ‘diamond’? More like fools gold. Best Hearts manager since either of the last two.

[weecounty hibby]

Rumours that Levain is hanging around the toilets
Thought that only happened at Dens park when they could win the league. Not at Tiny when they are struggling to avoid relegation!

No way! Would piss myself if true. He’s like the Messiah and was bummed up big time by Budgie!

Someone asked Soutar something in hospitality and his reaction was along the lines of no one really knows what's going on.

Showing quicker reactions in hospitality than when he's playing then :greengrin

Keep saying it, there are divisions at the club and in their dressing room and Stendel is becoming a laughing stock. If we win tomorrow that'll be 16 points we'll have made on them since both clubs changed managers.

You look at Ross and there's no panic, no rash decision making, very pragmatic, and he showed patience in the window and didn't throw the baby out with the bath water. Stendel comes in, immediately alienates club captain and loyal player Berra which in turn pee off some of the players, tells players (some still there) that they are to look for other clubs, plays players well out of position, and has had the easiest run of home games a new manager could have since taking up the post. A record now worse than Cathro and Levein, top scorer a defender :greengrin and he's costing Hearts a small fortune to boot.

As emotional we all get as Hibs fans, thank the Lord we have the likes of Leeann and company to pour some reason, objectivity, and calm when things are going poorly. Hearts are as badly run off the pitch as they are being on it :aok:

I just realised that Stendel is from the other Frankfurt.

:doh:

I thought he was from Hessen but he's actually from Easterhouse-an-der-Oder (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/OByYiDhgr1a8bh89MpVRAKUz8I2Z_BsjK__p2xRMmztBNoFY-zaNkZ_p-ocfjSZToEiTIcBGTLeU98XqZ4itEn4).





That completely explains the appearance.

:greengrin

[Onion]

This totally underlines the cluster**** that is Queenie's reign. Built the whole thing up to hysterical levels, and had to prove to the clamouring fans that they were the big team

When Stendel was brought in, he had enough time/players to get Hearts up the table and into top 6 / 4 contention and I'm sure that's what they expected. Reality now, he's completely messed things up and they find themselves in a relegation battle against some hardened sides.

IMO their delusion and pride will now get them relegated. Stendel is persisting with his fantasy geggenpress (which other teams have figured out) without the players to carry it out. And the Hearts fans will not accept they are in serious trouble.

Unless he / they change their approach, start fighting/scrapping for every points they will go down.

Aye, there's a wee cupboard in the super-dooper, huge (bigliest), envy of scottish football, unfinished, MEGA-stand where Cathro, Avril, McPhee and Daly hang-out, smoking fags and arguing about who should be head of the escape committee. Maloveef keeps spirits high with endless mugs of builders-brew and if listen closely you hear chorus after chorus of 1902 songs.

[bingo70]

His goals were supposed to guarantee their safety. I think his career up until now he has a record of a goal around every 3.5 games (from Memory, I think someone posted that at the time).

What’s he at just now, 2 in 5 maybe?

I reckon he’ll score somewhere around 7 or 8 goals this season and I’m not sure if that’ll be enough.

[greenlex]

Said it when they appointed him. Imagine being desperate and wanting to or even getting rid of someone you are due to pay someone else compensation for. Love it.

The Hearts fans should be more angry at Budge as she’s totally mismanaged their club. She’s spent millions of their cash on a terrible team, crap management and the total muck of the building of their main stand. She may have helped get them out of administration but she’s been worse for Hearts than Cathro, Stendel , Levein, Pieman and Vlad put together

His scoring record for Ross County is amazing. 48 goals in 99 games in the top flight.

Think he has had some injury issues in recent years, about 1 goal every 4 games in England.

If hearts were brave enough to admit their mistake and sack Stendel and replace him with Locke, or possibly even Levein, they’d have a chance of staying up.

Yip. They were right to sack Levein but they have appointed the wrong man and they need to be brave enough to admit it before it’s too late.
We were in the same situation in 2014. We were right to sack Fenlon but Butcher was a disaster and had we been brave with about ten games to go we could have saved the club from 3 years in the championship and not cost the club many millions of pounds.

Who could they realistically get in to improve their current form. The squad of players they have are not players that are ready to fight to stay up. Whereas teams like Hamilton and St Mirren are. Fail to win on Friday and they are at least finishing 2nd bottom. Lose and they are down.

I've got to agree. Reminds me very much of our alarming new year slump under Butcher. If we'd cut our losses we probably would have salvaged survival. It's a no win situation for Budge as she, and the Hearts fans have elevated him to Klopp like status with nothing to back it up other than nationality.

Christ, they even used the fact he finished above "Jack Ross's" basket case Sunderland as a win in their statement.

Stendal strikes me as one of many people I have met in football management: they have an idea of how the game should be played, they can coach enough to earn their badges but ultimately have no ****ing clue about how the game works when you don't have the best players in the world.

Levein being reinstated may have sounded ridiculous months ago but if he loses on Friday, the cup and then against us I can see it.

Budge will be panicking big time and he is her only trusted football person.

[Eyrie]

Genuinely thought that Hearts would build on their win over Sevco, but it's now clear that was a fluke.

And the next three games for them are tasty - the proverbial relegation six point at St Mirren, a cup quarter final against Sevco and then an away derby. He may not make it through those games to face Motherwell on 7 March, and I certainly don't see him staying on if they get relegated.

He'll be gone before Hearts and Barnsley have sorted out the compensation for him.

The 2 promotions isn't even accurate though I think that's what they all believe. Hannover 96 sacked him after 25 games whilst in 4th place, the next manager came in and got 6 wins and 3 draws from the remaining 9 games to get them to 2nd.

Was at hospitality at Tynecastle a year or so ago for a derby and he was the main guest, despite all the promptings from Scott Wilson and the drunken hordes he would not bad mouth Hibs but was very respectful of what derbies mean to both sides (unlike Gary Locke).

I also remember him being at the top table in the Usher Hall for the Hands Off Hibs rally, a brave move back then. For that reason alone I have always had respect for him.

Just my tuppenceworth....

Does seem unlikely as they are all in, balls deep with Stendel.

No going back now. Remember that Budge hired him specifically for his ‘style of football’.

Robbo has always respectful to Hibs despite banging in the goals against us. I think he'd be daft to go anywhere near that car crash at the moment. He's got a good wee number up in Inverness.

Spot on. Robertson is a good guy, will never forget he attended the Hands off Hibs Usher Hall rally despite being employed by the man who was seeking our demise. Respect.

George, his brother, is a good Hibs man and used to chat to him in The Right Wing now and then in between his poetry writing (!!)

My only problem with Robbo is I wish we'd signed him. That said, Herts must be absolutely desperate if theyve approached him and he'd be a mug to go. They are a complete car crash.

Yes but heckingbottom was keen to take our job so I’d imagine that would allow us to negotiate good terms that suited us.

Hearts had to Bend over backwards to even get him up to Scotland for an interview. The ball was firmly in his court. No chance he would allow an unfavourable break clause. Didn’t seem to have one at Barnsley, so why would he walk away from x amount a week for x months, to come to hearts with a small break clause.

Hearts are Donald ducked

[Sir David Gray]

What's the minimum number of signatures a petition needs to have for it to be debated in parliament?

Is it worthwhile starting one up to keep Stendel in charge?

[Leith Green]

An interesting point to note is how well Hamilton Accies traditionally do in the last 12 matches of the season. They seem to have the knack of fighting their way out of trouble when it matters most. If st mirren can open up a gap on Hearts , then i would really fancy Hearts to go down.

[Onion]

Hearts are in real bother here. Stendel is a romantic fantasist and and hasn't woken up to the fact he's in a scrap for Prem survival. And even if he was, am not at all convinced they have the players needed to battle their way through this.

Stendel's the last man you'd want in charge for the run in.

They also have an inferior goal difference to St Mirren so they effectively need 4 points more than them to overtake them.

I reckon if St Mirren can avoid defeat on Friday then the best Hearts can hope for is 11th and take their chances in a play off.

They hardly ever score the first goal in a game and I reckon if they go behind against St Mirren and they can keep 11 men on the park, they won't be as open as Hamilton were yesterday. St Mirren have one of the best defensive records in the league.

The problem is they also have the worst attack in the league and rarely score more than once in a game.

Think their goal difference is only 8 worse than St Mirren so it's not effectively another point. Say they beat St Mirren 2-0 on Friday, as unlikely as that is , then it's suddenly only 4 goals. That's easily made up over 10 games.

Killie and alessio were meant to have a 6 month deal that if things weren't working out within that period then either party leave with no financial penalty. He is meant to have left six months to the day he joined them.

True but it also doesn't equate to effectively an additional point. If it was 20 goals it would but not 8. A hammering from Celtic or Rangers could wipe most of that out in 1 game .

It's possible but it seems Hearts really wanted Stendel so he would have had the upper hand in negotiations so I would be surprised if he agreed to such a clause where he effectively can be punted without any financial compensation.

Always pretty damning when these kind of stories start to arise. Even if they're not entirely based on the exact truth, there's usually some kindling causing the smoke.

I'd be very surprised if this isn't true. Stendel has done some very abrupt and confusing things thus far, he's shown no hesitation in alienating players and staff, this was probably inevitable. They should have seen the warning signs after hearing what Berra and Daly had to say about him.

Hearts go to third- bottom St Mirren on Friday night and Stendel is under mounting pressure to prove why Jambos chief Ann Budge chose him to replace Craig Levein, who amassed one point more from the same number of games in charge this term.

That’s in a calm environment too, half time etc when emotions are high and he’s animated I can imagine it being a nightmare to understand him.

I have heard that one to. Club needs shaken up the Jambos say.

[Deansy]

hahahaha.

the irony of a hearts fan saying something like this is too much


Aw c'mon, surely you have a little bit of sympathy for them - the first attack-minded team at the PBS since pre 1981 but it comes at a time when each and every one of their players is absolute dug-***** !. It's not as if they were famous for their collective balance/stability but the arrival of Daniel, I feel, has tipped the 'Duncans' over the edge …………

I guess all will be revealed when their documentary comes out. The DVD will be a Xmas best seller I'd imagine.

The Scotsman simply provided a link to the Sun article. It is not 'running' the story.

I'm certain that if you go back on this forum to the point where stories were starting to emerge about the players hating Butcher, there were similar responses.
Fortunately we've learned from that, the Duncans would do well to pay attention to that period as well. Though I hope they don't.

Butcher waited until after the transfer window closed before soaring all the players I think.

Stendel did it before the transfer window opened but still hasn’t had the impact he’d have hoped for.

In fairness to Butcher as well. He didn’t go on holiday for a few days and give the players the day off the day before the biggest game of the season.

Banderson has pitched another fawning interview with Budge to try and get back control of the narrative.

They obviously won’t. They are so much bigger than us as a club, we are forever in their shadow etc

Stendel is becoming an almost carbon copy of Butcher.

[Barman Stanton]

About 99% of them over the road seem convinced it’s rubbish. And even if it’s in any true they support Stendel anyway. It’s crazy how much they are behind this guy after the start he has had.

They need to believe that and hope for the best.

They spent so long wanting Levein out, to now want this guy out so soon after doesn’t bare thinking about for them.

The brave and sensible move would be to cut their losses and recognise that some appointments just don’t work out. No danger they will want to do that though.

Suspect a lot will be riding on Friday nights game. If they win then all will be good with the world again, if they lose then a lot will come round to the idea of him being a dud.

Yeah it looks like blind faith really. They also hyped him up so much that they are losing face once they admit he is a dud.

Have to say though, this Jambo soap opera is awfully enjoyable. Pleasing as they say.

Last thing we want is them sacking Stendel. Let’s hope the yams keep relying round Stendel and taking it out on their players.[emoji106]

And the forthcoming documentary is going to be must see tv.

Our family yams are right behind Our Daniel. He is, indeed, the breath of fresh air. They also estimate that probably seven (yes, that's 7) members of the current squad are already good enough to play Our Daniel's high-press system so all looks barry for next season.

As for how they're going to replace the remaining 20-odd first-teamers who aren't up to gegenpressing, well, one can only imagine there's a sugar-daddy waiting in the wings with a big blank cheque.

If they lose to St Mirren on Friday then the pressure will rise even more. Even a draw isn't great.

If so Budge may panic and boot out Stendal then give a short term gig to another with 1 task keep Hearts up at any cost. Gary Locke still works for the club and iirc did a reasonable job in difficult circumstances in the admin season, a good outside bet? Hopefully after the Derby though lol.


Pretty much guaranteed this scenario will transpire if they do lose on Friday - the derby is their reason-for-living, nothing else matters !

Brilliant.Centre back? Probably in similar shape to Halkett just now and still as good a defender as Souttar.

Let's face it Levein's never leaving and maybe has a hand in undermining Desperate Dan already.

The language thing is crap chat from the media. He can speak German and pretty good English.

English better than majority of folk who attend football games.

Would like to see some folk go and coach in Germany and see how they communicate.

Nah, his English is crap, nothing to do with the media.

I'd imagine most of the players are rolling their eyes or staring at the floor when he's giving a team talk. He's utterly clueless.

He avoids eye contact so no need to stare at the the floor. Every interview I've seen him do (admittedly not a lot) it's as if he's doing it with his eyes shut.

That's nonsense. Heavily accented basic English better than than most folk at games!!

Steven Naismith saying the result against Hamilton was a "shock result". I agree. No way did they deserve a draw out of that.

Also said the game against St Mirren is a "must not lose game" 😂😂😂 This time last week they were calling them must wins.

I get the must not lose attitude. In theory they are right, if you look at the table and take the game in isolation then as long as they don’t lose then all is not lost for them.

The problem they have is that there is a bigger picture to be considered. If they can’t beat a 10 man Hamilton side or St Mirren then what makes them think they can go on a winning run against better teams to pull them clear of the situation they are in?

After the St Mirren game their fixtures only get more difficult until the split so this is the time they need to be picking up wins, not draws.

Lots of ifs here but if St Mirren manage to beat Hearts on Friday and then win their game in hand (not impossible) I think they’d be 9 points ahead of Hearts with a much better goal difference. Hearts aren’t turning that around.

Hell of a motivation for St Mirren to win those games.
