I wonder if the poor sap knows doctor football is more than just the guy that tells the youth team how to win silverware.Quote:

Not according to their statement.Quote:

If Hearts are putting their faith in Stendel's words, then Barnsley's revelations about how he went behind their back to try to engineer a move to another Championship don't paint him in a good light when it comes to a straight answer.
This could run for a while - and will hopefully dominate tomorrow's press conference when they finally unveil him.
As much as I would like to disagree with you, it looks very much to me like Barnsley are at it. Their sacked manager (who had lost 10 games in a row) has found a new club and they are trying to squeeze every last bit out of the situation.Quote:

The worst thing from a Hearts point of view is that his track record isn’t brilliant and he may be a chancer.
I thought that was an Arrested Development song! 😁Quote:

I know I’m just a bitter peg selling hobo, but I think the truth is that this guy is a snake that was holding out for a better offer. Now he’s here he’ll charm the pants of the Duncan’s and say what they want to hear while all the time looking after himself.
I've heard of lions led by donkeys but this is the first time I've heard of donkeys led by a snake.
A lazy journo article maybe had sacked in it. But here it is from the horses mouth:Quote:

Para 4 "..led to removal of Mr. Stendel as Head Coach.." Doesn't say sacked, terminated, resigned or similar. Removed from post, but still employed by...is my interpretation.
Levein must have had a hand in the recruitment process after all. It's well known Harry Potter can talk to snakes
Stendel, who led the Tykes to an impressive promotion from League One last season, leaves with the club second bottom in the second tier, having won one league game in 11. Adam Murray, the club’s under-18 head coach, steps in as caretaker.
“Barnsley Football Club confirms that it has separated from Daniel Stendel with immediate effect,” read a club statement. “Adam Murray has been appointed caretaker manager.”
Stendel took charge at Oakwell in June 2018 on a two-year contract and the former Hannover coach ensured an immediate return to the Championship, his team finishing runners-up to Luton.
Touche…!!Quote:

Hecky couldn't wait to get out of Barnsley too despite doing a better job than Stendel. Something fishy at that club
Heckingbottom was offered the chance to manage a bigger, better club. Stendel is going to Hearts.Quote:

It’s completely obvious to me that he had to get himself on the sexual offenders register before he got the gig, that’s where the delay came from. He’s clearly satisfied the criteria and is being unveiled tomorrow.
Sounds like there’s similarities between this case and when we signed Zemmama.
Think we lost that case, be interesting to see how far Barnsley take this.
Seems a decidedly dodgy and untrustworthy character. If he does well, and that's a big if, he'll be showing what's beneath his lederhosen to every chairman in the English Championship as soon as Mrs Budge is away buying another maroon dressQuote:

I’m finding the whole thing ‘pleasing’, I wonder if Hibs knew about these contractual issues and that’s why we gave Stendel a swerve. Or maybe it’s because Jack Ross is much better and we got our 1st choice😉
I don't think Stendel was even a consideration. We got our man. But if he was we would have done our homework. We're a professional football club. A well run one.Quote:

If he’s a failure these articles are going look even more ridiculous.

Hearts know there will be a contractual dispute but had to rush the appointment after they lost AGAIN at the weekend. Hence no picture with the joining statement and just a late Iphone pic of him at the arrival gate at EDI
This will cost them a few bob that's for sure. All this "we did nothing untoward" chat is just bluff. Its not like they would enter a tribunal saying they were wrong....
Pony up mystery benefactors there is another incompetency levy to pay!
It's noticeable that Ann has been demoted all the way down from Queen, to Mrs, without even a passing nod to Dr.
How long till the open letters start saying they know where she lives?
It’s been said that Hibs recruitment isn’t just concentrated on players that are within our budget, but suitable head coaches are likewise observed so in the eventuality of a change the club is not starting with a blank sheet of paper.Quote:
