    Levein sees off Stendel?

    So with Stendel's contract now supposedly finished due to Hearts relegation , does that mean Craig Levein will still be at the club after Stendel has gone?

    We don’t know if Stendel will invoke his ‘get out’ clause. He might yet decide to stay on in the Championship or even the Premiership, if Budge can wangle some sort of reconstruction to keep Hearts up. In these uncertain times, a job’s a job, so walking away from one might not be a wise move.

    If he is out of contract hearts wont want him. Theyll go for a cheap option like giving it to Naismith as player manager.

    Think Budge can get rid of him if they get relegated, but dont know about if they get "expelled"!! So yes, Stendal could be away before Levein!

    The wording of quote from his agent (it's on another thread somewhere) suggested that that clause was sort of automatic and didn't need to be invoked – he said something like "Right now Daniel doesn't have a contract, the contract is only valid in the Premiership." To me that suggests it wasn't a choice for either party, it just happened as soon as Hearts were (entirely deservedly ) bombed out the league.

    He did go on to say that it was possible that a new contract would be agreed.

    (Of course, agents being agents, it could just be him describing things creatively for some perceived advantage.)

    So I'd say Avril has seen off yet another Hearts manager. He's sort of like Lewis Stevenson, just without the success, good looks or likeability.

    Is Stendel back in Germany? If he has half a brain he should be trying to weasel his way into some sort of coaching role in the motherland as there’s no way hearts can afford to pay him at the same level whilst in the Championship.

    Can’t get rid ,the fans have a super duper song about him

  12. #11
    Poll over on keechback shows a large majority of them want him to stay on 🤪

    Couldn’t think of a worse candidate to lead them out of the championship. Reckon they’ll opt for Robbo

    It’s one crumb of comfort that Hearts fans can take from their relegation.

    They'll finally admit that he was humpty and are well rid.

    Robbo or Hartley up next I’d imagine. Or will Levein have one last bit of advice for Budge before he goes?!

    Yes he is in Germany.

    It was all his plan..

    Make him look good..I will take no wage..

    Hearts relegated..oh contract doesn’t exist - gives him an easy way to leave.

    He can leave on good terms even with a 29% win ratio as he wasn’t paid the last month or so.

    Imagine he had continued to take a wage and left - Jambos would be raging.

    If he chooses to stay (will they offer a new contract?) he will probably think it will help his career as currently his CV isn’t good reading and a lower league title may help that.

    Though flipside is fail again and he will really struggle for jobs after.

    They're all the ones he's been buying drinks for though.

    Apparently most pubs in Gorgie have a Stendel stool at the bar.

    He's actually quoting word-for-word what a previous Hearts press release* said.

    I got the feeling he was taking the p1ss.



    * Banderson article, Press Release... same thing really

    Stendal certainly took a pasting here and other forums
    Why he took/got the hertz job remains a mystery
    It was clear there were difficulties
    He knew nothing (his own admission) about hertz and the Scottish game
    Its also clear he had communication problems.
    Hertz fans should be asking how he got through the interviewing process
    Baffling

    However the real problems at hertz clearly lie (partly)in Ann's naivety

    Her apparent reliance /dependance on Potter has been at the root of many problems at tynecastle.
    She should have sacked him when Cathro went.


    Hearts are in the position they are today and its in the main down to one man

    Craig Levein

    Naismith would need a mentor to show him the ropes...I wonder if they have anyone at the club just now with managerial experience, or even someone who could be a director of football

    Thing is, Levein had nowt to do with Stendall’s appointment.

    Budge went for him cause he appeared top on a poll on Kickback. That’s the only reason he was even mentioned. There was no one at Hearts even looking at him or considering him at all.

    She’s weak. She plays to her fans all the time to try and please them instead of leading from the front. So she sees that they all hated going for McCall, McCann or whoever and went for the easy option with the fans.

    She did it again yesterday with her use of the word “expelled”. No one takes her seriously but the fans love it.

    Once all the tears and snotters have dried up the fans will turn 100% against Budge.

    How did he manage to get a win rate as high as 29%? Thought it would have been lower than that.

    If they get shot of Stendal whilst trying to fight to stay in the top flight (be that legally or via reconstruction) then that tells you all you need to know about Hearts true intentions. Ultimately if their intentions were good they would wait until they have no options left before removing staff with relegation clauses.

    That's the impression I get too. Same goes for the legal action - she's already said that they'd accept any decision but yesterday she changed her mind again.

    I honestly feel for her as I think she's only ever tried to do the right thing but she's way out of her depth.

    I hope they go for Naismith. First of all it’s a total gamble on an untried rookie who hasn’t any coaching experience and also the players will be wary of a guy who totally shafted them while captain in the wages negotiations with Budge. A club captain should have been standing with the players helping come to an arrangement, not jumping in with management on the first day shouting about how loaded he was.

    She obviously didn't have a clue who to pick so went on Kickback to see what the fans were saying. Most of them were hailing him as the new Klopp and posting in German to each other etc. The Hearts fans can blame themselves for Stendel's appointment. They got who they wanted.

    His record in league games was:

    Won: 2
    Drew: 4
    Lost: 7


    The other three wins were in the Scottish Cup (Airdrie, Falkirk, The Rangers)
