Told to train with the reserves too

Wonder if there’s been a bit of a disagreement

Berra told to find a new club. Shame that.

Fact? Or a kiwidoug ITK pile of slavers?

As you say, shame. Wanted him to stay....

Bring the kids (none of whom were doing exceptionally) back from loan to fight relegation.
Boot out the old guard.

He's got some nuts this guy. Good on him, it is either going to work a treat or they go down in utter flames.

I have a good feeling about which one it will be.

In other words, journalistic slavers!!!

Berra getting the boot reminds me of butcher’s treatment of KT. He’s absolutely finished on the park now berra but you need leaders in the dressing room for a relegation fight, and he’s certainly a leader.

Hearts are going down, no doubt about it.

There's no way they'll let him go, he's been their top scorer this season.

I wish I could agree with all that but from what I've seen, Berra has shown extremely poor leadership qualities this season

I think this is only good for hearts unfortunately, unless it causes further dressing room upset

Same thing Berti Vogts tried with Scotland perhaps? Hope he is just as successful 🤣

Another wad of pay-off cash they have to find. Lovely......

Surely it’s only good if they bring in a better replacement?

He can't play Stendel's system and while it's not a guarantee guarantee, I don't think it should be difficult to get someone who can play it semi-competently

IMO this could be a huge mistake from Hearts totally dependent on who replaces him. Fun to watch though.

[HFC93]

Berra is their captain and comes across as a decent guy (I know), so he's probably a popular player with the rest of the squad. I know he's baws but it seems a pretty poor way to deal with the him. Can see the Stendel saga ending in player revolt.

Making him train with the reserves is just a way of trying to force him out. It’s one thing telling someone they’re free to go, it’s another thing entirely getting rid of them when they’ve still got 18 month s of a lucrative contract to go.

No one is going to pay him what he’s getting now elsewhere, and at his age he might decide that it’s better for him to sit tight and just earn the money.

BTW, I believe Stendel has told Steven MacLean the same thing. And despite how the papers have portrayed it, they were not amicable conversations that were had - there will definitely be more fall out to come,

Why would they punt their top scorer? 😉

[Tyler Durden]

Whilst it’s been entertaining for us to see Berra having such a poor season, he’s nowhere near as bad as some people (both Jambos and Hibs fans) are making out.

He’s been totally hung out to dry and it’s pretty telling how quickly the Yams are happy to write him off and force him out. Joke of a club.

Ignoring the fact that we are having a right laugh at this, how Berra has been treated is really quite poor.

That he has slowed down is not his fault, its just his age - that Hearts gave him a decent contract is not his fault its entirely theirs.

This is like us telling SDG or Paul Hanlon to train with the kids - when actually Stendall could have pulled him to one side and said "you are not going to get much game time, if you want to find another club thats fine, if not you will be backup and perhaps help with some coaching" or something like that.

What they have done is hung out to dry a player that - in all probability - has the respect of all of their first team. He and McLean wont have been punted from their Whatsapp group so the potential for unrest just got bigger.

Budge has obviously given Stendal free reign with this high risk strategy - and if it goes breasts skywards their fans will go completely radge.

Just made that point on Twitter. No class whatsoever.

The average Hearts salary is £135,000k per year, Berra will be on more than that. Could cost them £200k to pay off

And he will certainly be looking for a full pay off! He’s going to struggle for a team now.

That must be his only option now.Hearts must have known this also.
Very bad decision all round from the jambos.

You certainly wouldn't blame him for following Levein and Nanny wage collecting for not much work.

Bad form by stendel. Potter did the same to Gary mcswegan iirc. Unless he has been stirring it,which I doubt,then shocking way to treat a very loyal servant. They are now totally reliant on stendel which should be fun as he has a worse record than hecky. He seems stubborn and he will need to be flexible if plan a isn't working. I can see it ending in tears. Oh dear,how sad,never mind.

Reeks of trying to save money as it's the high earners he's binning. He has no knowledge of the Scottish game so it should be fun watching him probably making the same assumptions as hecky. Wonder what potter and mcphee think of it. Should be a hoot if he can't pull clear of the bottom two.

You dont save money if they dont agree to rip up their contracts though. Not a chance those player are leaving without play-offs. Which ever way they skin it, it will cost them more money than expected or budgeted for.

Barry Anderson on Glen Whelan: "Refused to do a single media interview in his five months in Scotland despite every other #HMFC player taking a turn. Would have liked the chance to ask him if he really wanted to be here."

😂😂 As if that gimp has the balls to ask a Hearts player any sort of challenging questions
