The German bloke is going to do a Butcher with them. Unless they get players in during this window who want to give it all on loan to some mob fighting relegation they are goosed.
Even their new assistant manager/old Hannover goalie coach reminds me of that fat bloke we had coaching and scouting, living in his motor.

Very poor way to treat someone who has been a good player for them over the years, even if he is now past his best.
Advising him that he doesn't suit how Stendal wants to play so is free to look for another club is one thing but banishing him from training with the first team is simply pathetic.
Prediction - Berra doesn't go anywhere this window and then in the summer moves to a team that won't be competing with Hearts next season like Hamilton, Livingston or Dundee United.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

This led to bad feeling with the rest of the Famous Five as the club appeared to be reluctant to repeat the honour Lawrie Reilly eventually getting his well deserved testimonial several years later but being unable to take an active part in the game

Their Japanese lad is away to a tournament this month too and he is a decent player - if the lose to County away then the knives will be out. They've a really tough set of fixtures in January / February.
As for Berra, it's a terrible way to treat a player who brought in millions to their club in transfer fees and has never let them down on and off the pitch - and he's a really decent lad. It's akin to Jack coming in and telling SDG to train with the youngsters............shocking management and sure to backfire. Just hope we can relegate them at Easter Road
I also think they'll try and cash in on Souttar (who is really close to Berra) and try and move Naismith on in summer. Naismith had a ding dong with Stendel at Christmas (I'm hearing). They're a shambles on and off the park which is - as they routinely say - pleasing

Still got £468,000 left on his contract and 34 years of age. He is not going anywhere.

Think Stendal mostly wanted him out because he is old and slow and offered very little for his fat salary.
Ditto Berra.
He will stick with Naismith but will want shot in the summer if he can't stay fit.
Naismith will of course decide if he is going or seeing his contract out with Berra in the Oriam canteen.
Damour is the other big prob. Very average player on a lucrative contract that has another 42 months to run.
Natural order Craigy has well and truly maxed their budget oot on a combination of auld has beens and duffers.

Maybe some truth in the rumour that Berra remained in close contact with Potter and that Stendall felt undermined by this.

Charlie Adam said on twitter this evening that he expects Berra to sit tight and run down his contract at hearts and then said he doesn't think Stendell will last long. I assume Adam will be quite friendly with Berra.

Berra is far from happy. He's finished but he does seem a decent guy. He's been a great servant to that club and is club captain, he deserves a bit more respect than being told to train outwith the first team squad.
Loyalty in football is certainly a two way street. Get the feeling that Stendel is playing quite a risky game here. Berra probably best out their side but making an example of him like that when he's a popular figure with the players could backfire.

Who cares if he's just married? What's that got to do with a football clubs decision!?
Plus, he's still due near half a million quid if numbers flying around are near the mark. Not like he's just been made redundant and binned with minimal payoff. Probably a millionaire or very rich man anyway and spent 15 years playing football and people feel sorry for him? He was one of them that absolutely loved getting it up us when they beat us! Hard life. That's show business, that's football and he's horse **** these days anyway so unfortunately it'll probably improve their defence. Plus he signs off with the honour of being their top goalscorer this season (with 3 own goals 😂).

The merricks were saying he's loyal to levein and upsetting the apple cart with Stendel. Good work if so.

If he was a truly great servant to the club then he wouldn't be airing their dirty linen in public the way he just has. Behaviour not befitting a club captain no matter how harshly he feels he's been treated. They must bin about 10 players still under contract every transfer window so it should hardly have come as a huge surprise.
Although he says he'll find another club, I can see the Charlie Adam prediction coming to fruition. He'd be as well sticking around because there's a good chance Stendel won't last until the end of the season.
Seems like there's a bit of unrest over there at the moment and it'll probably get worse before it gets better.

I had an ex boss paid off by a director the day after his 50th birthday.........which said director attended, drank, laughed along with family etc........my ex boss first reaction was "that total ****** was just at my house for my birthday party" which - again - has nothing to do with why he was paid off.
People say stuff when they are emotional, its normal.
