Delayed due to covid and would you believe the court couldn't find a German interpreter for Stendel who is more comfortable giving evidence in German. As per the link above
For this to be at Crown Court, the jury discharged and the trial rescheduled it shows it's serious. The judge wants Daniel Stendel to attend in person which, to my mind, means he's already considering a custodial sentence.
Saw him and the Fleetwood squad at the villlage hotel in Blackpool the night before their game there. He was absolutely wired, i’m convinced he was coked up. He was repeating the same stories over and over again and harassing the barmaid to let him help the kitchen staff wash up. Was all very weird.
Sounds laughable but tbf I wouldn't want to give evidence in French in an important trial where a custodial sentence is likely. Also I think the translators have to be court registered and approved, so it's complicated.
Was all very odd. Can see why he gets in a lot of bother if he acts like that every time he has a drink.
In the thread title it should be 'adopted geordie' not just 'ex Newcastle'. To properly reflect how loved he is north of the Tyne
Do they love him. I o ow he absolutely licks their hoops and has a dig at us whenever he can in an attempt to get them loving him but do they?
I think the majority know he's a twat but some like the fact that he goes out of his way to wind Sunderland supporters up.
