Seldom works out that way.

Can't believe that Hertz are threatening to stop United's promotion, then go and nick their manager.
If I was United, I would tell them to 'go away'.
If Hearts are in the Championship perhaps we could arrange a couple of money spinning "friendlies" early in the New Year :greengrin :greengrin :wink:Quote:

Next United v Hearts game is going to be tasty!!!
Why would a premiership manager want to drop to the lower leagues :confused:
This timing is almost certain to deflect from the court case being dropped.
Need to be in the cup.Quote:

To me this looks like the court case is dropped.I could be wrong.
Neilson isnt that much a fans fav at utd but seems a championship specialist.
Only happen if they get drawn together in a cup :)Quote:

Interesting....
Angry man McCann will be raging
What's with all this getting rid of staff then re-employing them
Levein, Jumbo Jeffries, Locke and now Nelson 🤔
United’s first team players been asked to attend a zoom meeting this evening, presuming it’s to confirm Neilson has gone to Hearts
Hearts will make a bid for Kevin Nisbet. Absolute stick on.
And Levein in at United🤣Quote:

The reaction on keekboak is unbelievably subdued. Even the for and against opinions are a bit "meh".
Hearts are obviously rubbish at football, but they excel at comedy :greengrin
Another example of budges chronic lack of imagination.
Six figure compensation for a manager they hounded out the door previously because he lost against Hibs in the cup. Regrets? No it’s a good laugh isn’t it? 😂
Also, I thought they were skint?
Wonder how unfair he'd find that Heart's got relegatdd and Dundee Utd were promotedQuote:

Shambolic club.
More ammunition for the court case if Hearts are throwing money around, and let's hope Dundee United gouged them for compensation.Quote:

I find this a strange development.
If it all works out for Hearts then they could have Dundee United's place in the Premiership and their manager as well.
The Arabs would be spewing. Even if they get a lot of compensation for Robbie it would not be enough to counteract missing out on promotion.
Convinced that their end game is trying to get some money out of the SPFL. Reinstatement to the Premiership seems unlikely.
Still a odd twist.
Has Budge finally lost it?
Ah next Tom English will be telling us the court action was just a ploy to get leverage to negotiate his release. If so I’ll be in awe of the business acumen and far sightedness of their leadership. :wink:Quote:

Total lack of ambition from Hearts. Neilson's football is eye bleeding stuff of the highest calibre.
A perfect fit then with hearts tradition.Quote:

Friday - Hearts issue court papers to try and block Dundee United’s promotion
Sunday - Looks like Neilson is rejoining Hearts as Manager
Robbie, you’ll fit in well there, as you have no morals
If that was to happen then presumably they'd also still have Stendel as manager.Quote:

It wouldn't shock me to see things follow a similar pattern as last time around. Promoted, decent season back up then fan unrest because it stagnates/goes backwards.
Which is still a reduction on the 3 they had last seasonQuote:

Word is, Robbie had his agent check the toilets to make sure Potter had really left.
Surprised he is back there, though.
The Arabs will be raging even more than they are already with this court nonsense.
I guess Budgie/benefactor gave him an offer he could not refuse.
Money Talks
Thought Dundee Utd looked a decent team when we played them in the cup this season.Quote:

People can’t forget he struggled at MK Dons and Hearts fans flew an aeroplane over Tynie for a reason!!
More money on compensation and ideally will hurt Dundee Utd so not too fussed.
His first game could be against us in the SC semi ?!
Imagine if Hearts get back into the SPFL and then have 2 managers !
So hey furloughed staff. Released staff and players, players took cuts. They were skint because it was unfair to relegate them yet 6 figure compensation.
No morals at all!

I didn’t. I know we drew up there but we should have won quite comfortably IMO. And in the replay, we could have scored more than four. They had a good striker but that was about it.Quote:

We should have beaten them easily up there.If they sell Shankland they’ll be straight back down.After the replay Neilson said on the radio that they needed 4/5 new players to survive in the Premier League.Quote:

Nothing new..Quote:

More on @SkySportsNews
This has got Hearts class written all over it. Shabby way to treat Stendel, and sets aside how they treated Neilson previously. Never miss an opportunity to illustrate what a small, small minded club they are.
What a lying cow Budge is. She told Stendel that they were looking to appoint a sporting director before starting talks with managers.
She's hitting new lows now.
The backtracking about Stendel is going to be fun reading. Even when everyone could see he was a flop they were still insistent he was the real deal.
I expect that will all change now they know he is away.
I don't 4 -2 would have been a fair result for me in both games, apart from Shankland I thought they looked a very ordinary team, only made to look good by having the good fortune to be in a very weak championship as shown by how we cut ICT apartQuote:

Definitely sneaky from Budge - definitely tapped up in some way for things to move that fast.
Like most managers - assistants are always key so shall be interesting to see what they do here.
Do the current Hearts “Stendal” assistants get booted too?
Did hearts mention Neilsons Record against Jack Ross in the press release?
Hearts plead poverty, players take a pay cut and then Budgie pays compo out to Utd...shabby underhand workQuote:

Genuine question .... was Stendel not contracted to 2022 with a relegation clause for both sides to get out ?
If so and hearts get reinstated ... double compo for sacking Daniel then signing Robbie ???
Or do they know their bid to be re-instated is dead in the water

I'm sure I read there was a clause in his contract where either party could walk away at the end of the season.Quote:
