Das Root Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Usual story, shut up shop until end of month to make sure they can squeeze more season ticket sales before we all realise we are in for another pish season. They will say that they only comment on players they sign, not ones they dont, but its a underhand way of dealing with things. Typical ******* Romanov.

Been wondering about the silence myself. It could be that they are just quietly working away behind the scenes trying to bring players in and not wanting a fuss after the whole Hartley thing. I personaly wish it was because they are going after The Sun for their wee "Hearts spokesman" bit and do not want to incriminate themselves beforehand... (Well, unlikely i know but we can but hope!) Either way the silense certainly is deafening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studo Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 he just left this ........ Folks ? we?ve been reading a lot of the comments over the last few days. There's a lot of frustration mainly about Hartley and Bryson, also intensified by last night's result. This is where it is of course difficult for a club like Hearts on Facebook. We're the only SPL club on here who is using the service in such a two-way fashion (other clubs at central meetings think we?re mad for engaging this way, something we strongly disagree with), but the problem is by being on Facebook we?re there to be shot at. And the shots have been flying. The problem or question is ?what can we say?? With regards to ins and outs we can?t comment ? but why? Because, put simply: the marketing and communications team is not involved in the negotiations with players or their clubs, where applicable. We don?t get hour-by-hour updates on transfer negotiations. Indeed when we get information it?s usually because something significant has happened (i.e. he?s coming, get the camera ready). There?s nothing special in that in terms of Hearts, and I can assure you it?s the same at every other club in the land. Of course it frustrates the 8,000 supporters on here. You feel we?re neglecting you, and the anger is certainly palpable. But it?s just that we?re not in a position to explain every situation and we can?t conduct negotiations (or post-negotiations) on a blow by blow basis. We understand that over the last five years there have been communications ?challenges?, and things you will not have agreed with. That is exactly why we set up things like Facebook to try and open lines of communication, encourage debate and a bit of interactivity. It?s not always easy, though, to give or tell you what you want to hear. It?s the same way that the marketing and communications team at the club gladly speak (and we do every day) to any supporter who rings the club, who answer emails in as much detail as we can, and post responses where it is appropriate to do so on Facebook. So today?s message is simply, we?ll do our best, give you information where we can, and try and be as open as we possibly can. When a deal is done, and not before, we?ll announce it on our main website and of course on here ? just as we did when Jim Jefferies arrived on 29th January. We don?t deal in assumptions and speculation. We deal in reality because we have to. Believe us ? everyone here desperately wants Hearts to be successful, just like you.

I am not apportioning blame to any individual at the moment, however, I think as a CLUB this should have been an easy, common sense signing. I don't doubt for one minute that Hartley wanted to come back to Hearts (he strongly insinuated it in a radio interview), he would be affordable (if Aberdeen could afford him, Hearts certainly could), he wanted to come back to Scotland and had been released by Bristol City and he would be an asset to the team for the reasons I've listed earlier. There is also the strong emotional ties he has to the club and the majority of fans. How on Earth did this obvious transfer not happen and happen quickly? How anyone can imagine that Hearts at some or all levels haven't mucked up here is beyond me, it's laughably delusional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbo-Jambo Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 How the hell can a director come out with a statement that we are close to signing Hartley, then we hear interest has been cooled, then the Sun come out with their story of the document which the club have made no comment on and he ends up at Aberdeen where he probably really doesnt want to be, and all we hear is a DEAFENING SILENCE from the club on all aspects of this farce since our directors comments on Friday.

Could someone please post this on Facebook for me. Dear Lawrence, could you just tell FS to shut the feck up about any transfer speculation until the transfer is actually complete, thereby not building up supporters hopes. Further can you tell Mr Romanov he is a sad individual who needs to get a life, four years have passed since the Riccarton statement, get over it for fecks sake.

jamboinglasgow Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 What about the deafening silence from all other papers (except the Sun which needed a story so just reports the Sun newspaper, then fills space the next day with it.) All the papers love a good Vlad story and you think they would love something like this, a player from the infamous riccarton 3, forced to sign a Soviet style apology if he wants to play for Hearts, which paper would not want to publish that story or look further into it. But none are, not even the daily Record. The papers like to jump on the other papers stories if interesting enough, the fact no others (except the Evening news which was more to fill space then confirming the story) is to me just as deafening.
