The real question is whether Berra is proud enough to clear off or will hang on to that cushty Levein payday

Bittersweet for him to go. He's not been the same player since his injury but I'm still quite sad it's come to this. I reckon he come up here with ideas of finishing his career at Hearts.
Good luck to him wherever he goes.

I see a few folk on Twitter calling this 'shameful treatment'
He's been a good servant, etc, but hes been abysmal for over a year now, and is finished. There's no room for sympathy here.

Training with the reserves is a bit harsh IMO. Aye, hopefully we get him out the door, but until then do we need to ostracise him? Unless he's not reacted well and is a danger to squad morale, in which case I understand it.

Berra not going quietly by the looks of it

'Hurt and angry' You've been shite for a year mate. Leave with a bit of fucking dignity.

This can't have come as a surprise to him

"I just got married on Friday and then on Sunday I'm getting told I'm not involved any more."
Fuck's that got to do with anything

Unless he's not reacted well and is a danger to squad morale, in which case I understand it. Stendel wants his own men in so wants the highest earners off the wage bill, it's crystal clear what's going on here. Whether he loses the squad in the process is the worry but they aren't under any illusions that they'll be off to play in Scottish league one if they don't get their act together. It is harsh on Berra but having your highest earner as a bench warmer because he's “a senior player with a good influence on the squad - well we've had this many times and it's been proven to be negligible. Professional footballers don't need half a team full of dads, they need winners.

There is absolutely zero room for sentiment when you're cut adrift at the bottom of the league, especially when your highest/2nd highest earner is putting in shocking performances every week.
I had hoped he'd have left with a bit of decorum but seems he's still smarting that his pal Levein has been bumped and he'll have to try and get a wage elsewhere

Stendel pulling a proper Vince McMahon by firing CB Punk on his wedding day.

And seeing Berra spit the dummy in the Beeb by noon - clearly Stendel told him the script and judging by his reaction the gaffer decided leaving him in the reserves is best. I don't doubt it's a sore one for him to take but to be greeting to (my guess) Michael Stewart within hours of it being public shows Stendel was right to do it.

I'm hurt and angry at watching Berra limping through games for a year and costing goals.
We are too soft at Hearts. Hopefully this is the turning point.
01-07-2020, 12:48 PM
Naismith should be next
Berra has been poor for a sustained period and therefore outcome is justified Naismith continually making himself unavailable is no use to a club in our predicament Damour will get the treatment too I expect
01-07-2020, 12:52 PM
He surely must know this is about his declining football ability and that it isn't personal?
I don't think anybody can doubt his PHM credentials, but he's as much of a liability than Zlamal is these days. |
