WATCH: Tynecastle's "tortuous" attempt to sign Stendel
Budge "trying to ensure all contractual sides are tied up".
Hearts owner Ann Budge says it’ll take time to sign Daniel Stendel as Craig Levein’s replacement.
Speaking exclusively to Radio Forth News, she describing the process as "tortuous."
The ex-Barnsley coach has agreed terms with Tynecastle, but his former club are demanding compensation if he takes on the top job with the Jambos.
Mrs Budge spoke to us last night as she collected the Edinburgh Award.
It's given out every year to someone who's made an outstanding contribution to the city.
The business woman and community champion joins the likes of Sir Chris Hoy, JK Rowling, and Doddie Weir.
Impressions of Budge’s hands have been cast in clay, carved into stone, gilded, and laid onto the city council chamber’s ‘walk of fame.'
