Find it hard to get too worked up about this, if it's true, tbh. In the myriad ways in which HMFC has embarrassed / undermined itself over the past five years, allowing the German gaffer to nip home for Christmas is pretty low on the list. Doubt it materially affects our chances v Hibs, for better or worse.

Correct.

There is no benefit of the doubt here because the last few years tell me this will be just further weirdness. Managers don't go home days before a derby at any normal functioning club. It's as simple as that.

Don't know why he couldn't have just gone to east Princes Street Gardens. Actually, good business decision from AB as it's probably cheaper to have him back in Germany.

Aye, Hearts.

If Kirk took even one training session that Stendel was absent for then it has lessened our chances even by 1%.

Some punter going “it prob doesn't affect anything”. It's just telling yourself lies.

We need the manager to get this style of play pish that we're trying across to the players before the derby and every session counts.

We all find our own ways of coping with supporting the Hertz.

The banter years thread that someone out there must be compiling is going to be some read.

Luckily it's getting covered in glorious technicolour television

The cunts been on gardening leave for 3 months or somehing, you'd think he'd be sick of his family and by now

Can't believe folk are lashing out at stendel now.

Only one place the anger should be going and that's int he direction of the cunt that got us in this mess with his leveinball and shite signings

Levein is the architect of our current situation, and deserves to be treated with complete contempt as a result, Stendel can't be given any blame for this pile of shit.

I disagree with our manager skipping training sessions before a derby. Don't have any problems with the manager but this is not the correct course of action if true.

Agreed. I can hardly believe this is actually true

Not a good look for anyone involved. What is this club now ffs

Imagine it was Levein who had fucked off days before a derby. There would be some very different attitudes.

Levein only turned up the day before matches, TBF

Levein only turned up on a thursday or friday every week.

From what I've heard I don't think it's as simple as he just fancied some bratwurst in blankets back home. He'll be back tomorrow or Xmas day.

That will be evident at every press conference and is probably an issue for daft footballers too. Still seeing Levein and McPhee about the place not to mention the merry band of coaches when it should be Stendel and his own guys. Really hope he has the ability to turn the other cheek for the next few months as he's inevitably going to get questioned about it continually. Just don't know why Budge can't see that this is an unnecessary setup and that she should just pt the lot of them, especially Levein, on gardening leave.

Nearly 2 weeks on from the above post and here we are with the obvious and predicted shambles surrounding who is doing what. It's just a total fucking joke. You empty them all even if you are still paying them to draw a line in the sand. So there is no grey area, no question over influence or controversy over recruitment or who fulfills a specific role. It's just further self harm. I despise these fuckers.

This legit or just speculation?

Never flown on xmas day - do many flights land in Edinburgh on the 25th? Any the press will be waiting for so they can berate him for looking disheveled when stepping through the international arrival doors?

Gone to some top lawyer in Hannover to sift through his contract and see if he can get out, I presume.
