Why is that? Too outspoken? Too local? Too loyal? Is it because i once had a game of halves with him on Mitchells field at Wombwell and he nearly took my head off? Any of the above?
Been in touch with some folk who work at the club and to say they are shocked and disappointed would be an understatement.
Does this mark the beginning of our new banter/depression era? From Stendel to probably some dire coach
There’s probably legal and contractual reasons why the statement only says what it does. Seems to me it’s just been published just to confirm to the fans that the rumours are true. I’d expect a further statement will follow - although why the original statement doesn’t say all of what I’ve typed above is beyond me......
"After picking up only 6 points in 11 games and following Saturday's 5-1 defeat against Derby, in a season where maintaining our place in the Championship is our number one priority, it is with deep regret that Barnsley FC and Daniel Stendel will be parting ways with immediate effect. We would like to thank Daniel for the phenomenal impact he made in his first season at the club and we wish them all the best in the future." There. Takes 5-10 minutes to write a respectful statement without giving too much details. You'd think they could do the same.
Was that a Freudian slip? Derby instead of Preston? That definitely would be a typical **** up by the club. Lol
Maybe the "real" statement was sent to Partick Thistles supporters club fax machine (lindsey signing) by mistake!!
I’ve commented before about how petty and pathetic some of the statements have been when a player had moved on but that’s the worst I’ve seen by a country mile. Imagine having to work with the person who would write something like that.
Yes they could have and probably will. But like I said it’s a standard practice holding statement. There are often implications to reasons why companies can’t do this initially.
That is a crappy position to be in for whoever was made to put that on the website. Even SkyBet has managed a better statement:
If that's the tone of a statement they have slept on, the mind boggles what an off the cuff one would have said. Zero people skills and public relations.
