JamboMc Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 18:10 17/11/2011 MOSCOW, November 17 (RIA Novosti) ? Hearts owner Vladimir Romanov confirmed to RIA Novosti on Thursday that he is selling the club and quitting football entirely, ending weeks of speculation on the future of the Tynecastle club. The Russian-born Lithuanian said he has begun the hunt for potential buyers of the Scottish Premier League side, who are thought to be 35 million pounds in debt. ?I want to leave football. I have given the order to find buyers for all my clubs,? Romanov told RIA Novosti. Romanov has had a stormy tenure since arriving in Edinburgh in 2005, earning a hire-them-and-fire-them reputation for going through eight managers in six years. ?I want to buy a theater and sell the clubs,? he said. ?Hearts is controlled by Murdoch?s media mafia,? he said in reference to Rupert Murdoch, the owner of News Corp., which controls Sky television, the sport?s top broadcast rights holder.

jamboinglasgow Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Ok thats Vlad saying offically we are up for sale, now where is that consortium? I always find when dealing with new owners its better the devil we know, I said as much to my Rangers friend when Craig Whyte took over, he told me Whyte will be fine, now he is worried about Whyte. So be warned, the next buyer of Hearts could be worse then Vlad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott_jambo Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 So for the last five years I have been told that there will be buyers if Vlad agrees to sell.

Hearts no longer have the luxury of time for the inexperienced to play around until such time as they get it right (if they ever do). Is it coincidence that Vlads timing of a sale comes when Mr Murray is in the position to take on something else or at least figurehead it ? Dont forget that the Edinburgh area is now comparable to Glasgow for population so it is possible to make Hearts the biggest club in Scotland but the big ask is the right calibre of person/s to achieve it.
