Genuine shame for the guy, he's only 26. Obviously don't want him to succeed at Hearts but he looked like one of their better signings last season.

It only feels like yesterday since many of them on 'Throw-back' were telling the world that they were so far ahead of Hibs that they didn't consider us as their rivals any longer - starting to look like that was a premonition !
Anne Budge has just ordered Stendel a Hearts engraved lighter.
She was fed up of him constantly losing his matches.
The Barnsley side that he got promoted - was that the side that was relegated the season before?
Bitter jambo Joel Sked writing a pro Stendel siege mentality piece in Edinburghs propaganda sheet.
Tom English has had a go too. He baffles me at times, he is clearly capable of writing in an articulate way but boy he writes some guff too......

He sounds like a paid-up Kickback subscriber.
'Hearts owe Berra nothing'. Really? How about at least a thank you for services rendered by a player who, whatever his limitations, gave his all for the club he was proud to captain? Yep he's a yam but I thought the way he was treated was shabby to put it mildly.
English seems to be under the impression that Stendel has come into the job with an impeccable CV and is therefore immune from criticism.
Typifies sports journalism in Scotland, so he does.
"Here's a story. I need an opinion, preferably one that's controversial and may not fit with conventional logic."
Gets one story right, shouts about it for ever. Wrong uns just get shuffled under the carpet and never brought up again.
Decent pundits in Scotland are extremely thin on the ground.
No idea what qualifies Tom English to speak with any authority on Scottish football. A rugby man who seems to get wheeled on for football as he can use words with more than 2 syllables.
