He can away to Edinburgh City and slice balls into old Marjorie's living room. City are doing quite well thanks. If he's that done can he be persuaded to link up with Hartley at Cove, cheers! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wonder Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Mulraney and Wighton training with the reserves as well. I think it's pretty obvious Stendel doesn't want to work with a bloated squad that aren't in his plans. Can't keep everyone happy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Regardless of whether it's right or wrong, completely ostracising two experienced, respected, players and seemingly not discussing it with them, isnt shining your manager in a great light here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel sorry for Berra - it would surely have been better to arrange a loan in january and then announce he was leaving - but Whelan can f**k right off. Absolutely garbage for months, obviously downed tools ages ago, had no influence on the team at all - and there's not many Hearts fans would disagree. Oddly, he wouldnt talk to the media while at Tynecastle but rushes to speak to the press when hisweeholiday up North gets cut short. Obviously just a bit red-faced because, like severalothers before him, he discovered he couldn't hack it at the pace the game is played in Scotland. Still, delighted to see Stendel trimming all the dead wood - excactly what's needed so that we can climb back to the heady heights of genuine challengers to Hibs and Livingston for seventh place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes, by all means get rid of them/take them out the first team, but I think there would be better ways to do it, like discussing with the player why you're doing it beforehand, than just dumping them without acknowledgement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked out just swell with Hamill, Stevenson and McDonald tbf. Would you rather be shot in the head or drowned? Stendel was direct in telling them to get to f**k, he was transparent in telling them to get to f**k, and it wasn't like it should have come as a surprise that they should get to f**k. Berra is only still here because we can't pay him off, which is on Levein for extending his deal on the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still get rid of them quickly without excluding them from training, not talking to them, offering a contract termination via email etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know he already hasn't? He's been told he's free to find another club. He's still getting paid until they work something out. It's not like he's been tarred and feathered. He doesn't match Stendel's type of football at all. He can't pass the ball, he can't run; opposing teams would literally leave him when he had it because they knew he would kick it nowhere or into his own goals. If anything he would probably get in the way of his training, so I don't see there being anything wrong with being told to train with the reserves and keep himself ticking over until Kelty Hearts come calling when he could easily have been told to f**k off entirely.

Tony Wonder Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I see Whelan has found his voice after 5 months. Pah-rick. He could've tried training in Edinburgh more than 2 days a week, maybe Hearts deserved better than that. Obviously that was agreed with Levein but I believe Stendel asked him to move up here on a more permanent basis and he refused. Also, why is his side of the story automatically believed? As for handling it better regarding Berra, he was told he was surplus to requirements, it's not the end of the world. The reserves part does seem shite, but a genuine question, what benefit is there to having a visibly unhappy senior player in training when he's not even going to be involved? As said before, Mulraney and Wighton have also been asked to train with them, we are clearly trying to work with a smaller squad of guys who'll be involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
