Hearts adamant they owe Barnsley nothing as English club take legal action over Daniel Stendel
Edinburgh club confident documents prove German was free from Oakwell contract
Daniel Stendel is the subject of a compensation dispute between Hearts and former club Barnsley
Hearts are confident they don't owe Barnsley a penny in compensation for Daniel Stendel after consulting lawyers on the appointment of their new manager.
The English Championship club are taking legal action to pursue a six-figure sum from Hearts for the German. However, the Tynecastle Park hierarchy have sought their own expert advice and are adamant they are not liable.
They will pass the matter on to their lawyers after confirming on Saturday that Stendel, 45, had signed a two-and-a-half-year contract to take over as manager. He is due to start his new job on Tuesday.
Negotiations between the two clubs failed to produce a financial settlement prior to that appointment, hence Barnsley now moving to take the dispute to the next stage.

Hearts will defend their position vigorously. They have given lawyers documentation which they believe proves Stendel is no longer under contract at Oakwell and therefore free to join a new club.
Barnsley sacked him in October and replaced him with the Austrian Gerhard Struber. However, Stendel did not receive any financial pay-off from his former employers. Barnsley are arguing that his contract, which ran until the end of the season, is still valid.
They have now released a strongly-worded statement claiming Stendel was dismissed for entering into negotiations with a rival English Championship club earlier this year.
It read: "In light of the team’s current standing we would like to address the Barnsley football community. The Board is fully behind the team and staff in place. Our performances have improved under Gerhard’s leadership and we are confident that results will follow.
"Barnsley Football Club would also like to finally address the separation with our former head coach Daniel Stendel. This may come as little consolation but it is only right that our supporters have a picture of what has taken place at their club.
"Early in the season, Daniel Stendel entered into negotiations with a rival Sky Bet Championship club, to take over their managerial post and recruited other members of contracted Barnsley Football Club staff to follow him. Never once did Mr. Stendel seek approval or alert members of the club’s board to these discussions.
"Only when approached, by the board, was there any sign of acknowledgement. This was a clear violation of Mr Stendel’s contract and created additional unnecessary distractions for our club, which was recently promoted to the Sky Bet Championship.
"This event, coupled with numerous other issues, led to removal of Mr Stendel as head coach. Out of respect for his contributions to the tremendous 2018/2019 season, we wanted to settle this matter privately and amicably out of the eye of the public.
"After two months of unproductive discussions (and the subsequent public announcement by Heart of Midlothian that he has joined them as their new manager), the club cannot wait any longer in speaking to its fans.
"More recently, we have attempted negotiations of a settlement with Heart of Midlothian Football Club for the services of Mr Stendel, Chris Stern, and Dale Tonge to no avail.
"The club will continue to vigorously defend its rights against all parties involved in tampering of club staff so the club recovers all damages incurred. All recovered damages will be reinvested in our squad."

In the end it leaves us with siding with Stendel or with the shower of sh1t known as our owners
We have not heard DS's side of things Probably had to sign a confidentiality agreement
I know where my support lies No-one in club has put their name to statement. I wonder why
Even if true don't player agents do this all the time?

Hoss attempting to claim the high ground first.
I will wait for Daniel's side of the "story".
I don't buy for one minute that Hoss wanted to protect Daniel and "settle the matter privately and amicably out of the eye of the public".
What a good guy Hoss must be.

Legal case it appears to be along with our friend Joey B

Is the Championship club that spoke to Daniel to be investigated by the Football Authorities as it is in clear breach of the rules ? If no investigation takes place it would be strange.

Two ways you can look at this , firstly Daniel was contracted to Barnsley FC and expected to keep his mind on the job in hand , any communication with another club should have been done using the proper procedures in place .
However let's be clear here , this was an HC who clearly loved this town and club , a bloke who integrated with us like no other , even more remarkable given he's German .
He had his team play exciting , attacking football and was successful with it .
He asked to be backed with experience , he was ignored and his time with us in the championship proved he was right and he's still right today and he will be right next May too .
The owners pushed his buttons not Huddersfield Town and Daniel wouldn't have given a shiny shyte about the job if the owners had backed him here .
Don't try to make Daniel the bad guy you arrogant piece of shyte Conway .
You and you alone pushed him away , take your share of the responsibility .
Go fuq yourself .
