He's from Paisley very unlikely to be a Hearts fan.

Unless they’ve promised neilson premiership football. Don’t get why he would go otherwise. Stendel was a piss poor manager but they’ve treated him shockingly here.
How could they promise him Premiership football? Robbie Nielson appointment - tock, tick, tock, tick. To be fair, he’s probably the best they’ve had in the past few years and, with unlimited funds at his disposal, he should be able to get them promoted next season. On the other hand it could all easily go tits up for them.
Remember Neilson celebrating getting a penalty shootout in the playoff final against St Mirren and then losing it? Not scoring a single penalty Lol.
Jees, Budge is pulling out all the PR stunts in a vain effort to save her arse. What next ? Robbo up front with Skatchell in midfield.
Those Yams are so thick and obedient they'll lap it up, deflecting from the quiet announcement that they're dropping the court case.
They are a parody of the themselves. Can't wait for Netflix series.
Did they even announce Stendals departure?
I'd imagine his claim that he wanted to come back and work in the Championship came with the condition that they continued to pay him the same salary. Hearts will have know for a while they couldn't afford him, hence the move for Neilson (which probably wasn't as sudden as it appears).
Bit bemused by Neilson's willingness to return. Lower league football and no games until October. I'd have thought he was using the United role to rebuild his career and aim for something bigger, not a step back into a previous role. Can only assume the yams are paying him significantly more than the Arabs (though doubtless a great deal less than they lavished on Stendel).
Robbie “2-0 up at Tynie”. Never let them forget that we could never have done it without him.
Levein back as director of football, a role they still seem to regard as essential?
'We spread the net far and wide for a new director of football but then we realised the best man for the job was the man who had just left us'.
Mind you, bearing in mind that his role during Stendel's tenure seemed to comprise of showing Stendel round the stadium he won't be needed for that when Neilson returns.
Think Budge and the benefactors have had a sherry afternoon at hers today.
If I were a Hearts Season Ticket holder and FoH contributor, I'd be more peeved off about how the Hearts board have squandered my money on sub standard signings and awful managerial appointments like Levein, Cathro and Stendel.
Hearts fans should be venting their anger towards Ann Budge and the Hearts board rather than blaming the rest of Scottish football for their demise. :agree:
I’m not expecting any replies as I just needed to get this down to get my head around it:
Hearts:
We’re 2nd in the league but a banner-carrying plane protest convinced us Neilson is pish!
We had the right man all along) Naw, yiz are right again Levein is pants
Stendal is better than J Ross (even though Hibs are in the top six and we are rock bottom 4 points adrift)
We’ve wasted £10m of fans money and JA’s money on 100 dud players
The new stand is unfinished, not fit for purpose and well over budget
We ruined a brand new £1m pitch
Stendal Might have to go home (we’ll just continue to pay for 3 managers and their staff till he agrees to forfeit his wages)
We’re skint: 50% wage cut or clause 12 invoked
No we didn’t give players an ultimatum...but we reserve the right to use c12
Calling all agents: we’re loaded
If we are relegated we will take all youse down anaw
Better vote for reconstruction or we will burn you all!
Nae messing, were too big for the championship you’re all corrupt and only looking after yourselves
We need compo cos we’re skint - Naw, we’re really loaded
We need £8m to survive in the championship
Dundee Utd, we named you in court papers but, can we have Neilson back cos we changed our minds and we think he’s really great?
We know we put our bank details up for money directly, cos we’re desperate, but we’re offering £200, 000(?) a year to Robbie
Budge is an awesome CEO right!?
The Scottish Championship is Neilson's comfort zone.
Certainly looks like he’s been appointed to get them out of the championship. The French league have said they will not change their league as it’s too late re tv contracts etc. Are Utd expecting to get paid this decade. Why Neilson thinks it’s better to go to a basket case of a club who supporters harried him out instead of a club who were back on an even keel i can’t quite fathom. Hope they draw each other in one of the cups. That would be a tasty game for sure.
