Thought it might be a good idea to have one of these akin to the Rangers one so that when something amusing happens to them we don't clutter the main board with 10 threads and piss everyone off.
Anyway, just read on BBC gossip that not only is Haring having to see a specialist after his return from injury didn't work out, Mulraney is out for at least a month. They're having injury problems akin to ours last season.
We have a separate sports thread for Rugby Union Football 😁
Wouldn’t read to much into it. Their injured players will have all miraculously fully recovered and ready to play by the time we are set to play them on Boxing Day.
Looking forward to playing them in the LC Final
:thumbsup:
It’s a Hibs board I wouldn’t even have a Hearts thread ***k them
I always like to have them as a sort of reference point.
As in "god that was ***** but it could be worse, I could be a Jambo"

They tried hard to sign him in the summer but at the last minute he decided to sign for Hull City.
However, his time there hasn't work out and come August this year Hull were happy for him to move on.
Cue loads of Hearts supporters on JKB demanding their club bring him home.
Then one of the more sensible supporters posts this link.

Do the supporters see the warning signs?
No, they keep right on getting wired into their club and manager for not signing him and keep calling for him to be signed.
I would like to say it is just them that have supporters that are that dim but it really is every team.
A supporters led club would be screwed and out of business in less than 3 years.
Do read the link, it is as damning as it can be whilst staying professional.
The Lady Haig poppy fund was one of their creditors.

Probably the most cringeworthy phrase used by fans. This guy had been at hertz for half an hour of his football life and would never have known of their existence before arriving, even though they are in fact famous.Quote:

Is the stand finished yet? Asking for a friend.

This thread could be improved if someone uploaded a picture of the underground bunker hospitality suite with the lid open. I sometimes wonder what it would look like if someone accidentally pressed the 'open button' during a match

Yes, their situation was desperate when they started this up, but it’s certainly food for thought when we are moaning and groaning about the minutiae of HSL, and people find every excuse not to sign up.

Sounds like Stendel is an untrustworthy piece of work. Talking to another club behind Barnsley's back and trying to take coaching staff too. Naughty Gerry. And to think he was mugging off the Barnsley fans by drinking shots with them without them knowing. Will fit in well at Hearts
Barnsley have just spilled the beans on Stendel the snake. This gets better every day.

It would not surprise me if Stendhal and his agent were already looking for a club in England.
It was well reported that he wanted to stay in the English leagues.
Can't see him there next season.
Poor season = binned
Good season = looking for a move
Mentioned on another thread but the rumour is a figure of £480,000 being demanded by Barnsley
All this hassle for a guy who didn’t want the job in the first place. Old Budge really is clueless!
Because he was forth pick does that make him a fourth dan
When you get to fourth pick, you usually chose the Desperate Dan.Quote:

Notice that Barnsley's results have improved since he left as well. In stark contrast to Sunderland's post-Ross results...Quote:

Barnsley say "Show us the money Jambos".
Hearts say "we're not paying".
Barnsley say "we'll see you in court".
Stendel turns out to be a slippery snake.
McPhee still takes training with no sign of Stendel in the building.
This is comedy gold. Between this and Rangers bottling it I'm constanly spontaneously laughing at work.
This is the gift that keeps on giving!
So they’ve announced a manager that’s still contracted to another club but they say that’s incorrect and that Barnsley won’t get a penny because their lawyer says so.
Wonder if they’ve seen the contract which has apparently been broken.
This is just brilliant.
I really do hope this costs them!

Budge has elected to take a gamble on not paying compensation given that if the deal fell through and they appointed McCall or something the fans would be (rightly) going mental.
I wonder if McCall's record would be better than Stendel's. This was how he started the season before getting sacked:Quote:

Considering there was chat about Stendel only being on gardening leave and compensation needing to be paid by any club that wanted to hire him, you would have thought Hearts would have initially contacted Barnsley to get clarification on his contract situation. Through incompetence or arrogance they choice not to do that.
In an interview Budge said "we need to make sure we're doing everything properly", despite having failed to do things properly from the start. Her and her club are amateur beyond belief.
The ideal situation would obviously be if he has a stinking start and they’ve then got to negotiate a compensation manager they don’t want and want to sack.Quote:

"Mrs Budge will have had sound legal advice before proceeding with the appointment so no concern here "
Barnsley statement:
In light of the team’s current standing we would like to address the Barnsley football community.
The Board is fully behind the team and staff in place. Our performances have improved under Gerhard’s leadership and we are confident that results will follow.
Barnsley Football Club would also like to finally address the separation with our former Head Coach Daniel Stendel. This may come as little consolation but it is only right that our supporters have a picture of what has taken place at their Club.
Early in the season Daniel Stendel entered into negotiations with a rival Sky Bet Championship club, to take over their managerial post and recruited other members of contracted Barnsley Football Club staff to follow him. Never once did Mr. Stendel seek approval or alert members of the Club’s Board to these discussions. Only when approached, by the Board, was there any sign of acknowledgement. This was a clear violation of Mr. Stendel’s contract and created additional unnecessary distractions for our club which was recently promoted to the Sky Bet Championship.
This event, coupled with numerous other issues, led to removal of Mr. Stendel as Head Coach. Out of respect for his contributions to the tremendous 2018/2019 season, we wanted to settle this matter privately and amicably out of the eye of the public. After two months of unproductive discussions (and the subsequent public announcement by Heart of Midlothian that he has joined them as their new manager), the Club cannot wait any longer in speaking to its fans.
More recently we have attempted negotiations of a settlement with Heart of Midlothian Football Club for the services of Mr. Stendel, Chris Stern, and Dale Tonge to no avail.
The Club will continue to vigorously defend its rights against all parties involved in tampering of Club staff so the Club recovers all damages incurred. All recovered damages will be reinvested in our squad.
Yup.Quote:

The guy is a lower level Klopp. He’s going to be entertainment. In a roundabout it way his style may actually help Hibs. Previous derbies they have rarely outplayed us with the ball so if they try and play football it will play into our hands. Long throws and direct balls to strikers we struggled with.
Ideal scenario here yams have to pay up and the guy stays till end of next season and leaves(500k for 1.5 season’s worth) or the situation above that drags on and costs them more ..then they are looking again for another manager shortly having dumped all other coaches and serial loser Levein.
I notice that across on 10pointsback they're ripping Barnsley's statement to pieces.
They would know...
Yes, I spotted that one. Followed by another post stating: 'Yes, she's a busineswoman so will have taken sound legal advice."Quote:

Why would Hearts be negotiating a financial settlement with Barnsley if they didn't think they owed them anything? Makes no sense at all.Quote:
