Fourcandles Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Wish he'd spent ?40million (sensibly) and left us debt free insted of ?60million and ?20 million still in debt..... Still...as Salvatori says denied the tramps 2 Big cups and contributed to Sevcos demise by deying them 2 pots of Champoins League money (approx ?20-25million) so plenty of plaudits due there. .

J.T.F.Robertson Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Vlad reads forums and is responding to Kickback directly. There was a video of him with sheathes of paper at a basketball game which turned out to be fans forum comments. Might even have been the Vlad-stupid video. Don't quote me on that! He is very concerned what we think of him and now that he's skint it's all the more important to him that we love him. My opinion. If Mr. Romanov is "skint", I'll wallop one of these.

rossthejambo Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Ah jeez A statue or naming a stand after him is the least he deserves for giving us the best and most exciting of times. We'll be telling the grandbairns about the run at the start of 05/06, about the semi against Hibs, about our trips to London and Liverpool, and most importantly that cup win. In the end, the "bad" memories will diminish and we'll be left with the many glorious days that he gave us. We'll never forget him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maiden Gorgie Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 There is no doubt our profile in Scottish football has risen again thanks to Romanov. His statements to the press contained passion, wit and got people talking. - No such thing as bad PR and all that. If someone farts in the wrong direction at Tynecastle it is news in the EEN, the weegia and on Reporting Scotland - again thanks to Mr Romanov. We are quite a big deal you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeribleTrio Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 As a Hearts fan for over 50 years he has given me the greatest moments as a football supporter I could have wished for. I lived through utter dross at Tynecastle for many, many years and never saw a cup being lifted with my father. Now my 2 sons have seen Hearts lift 2 cups with their father, witnessed some great Hearts players and sat in sell out Tynecastle crowds week after week. Not to mention 2 of the greatest games against the H1b5 at Hampden! He has made many mistakes but we have always paid our tax bills, paid our players and paid the local small family run shops. What Mr Romanov had not expected was the strength of the Bigot Brothers, the monkeys in the media and the hatred (racist) comments aimed at his fellow countrymen even from some of our own fans. His report card is not perfect, far from it, but he has given us Hearts fans some of the best days of our lives captured in our memories, books and DVD's. Good luck Mr Romanov! Well said, I wish Mr Romanov nothing but the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 When you recall the Vlad songs after the 1-0 victory over Aberdeen that secured 2nd place and CL qualifiers at Tynecastle, I seriously doubt the atmosphere has been any better in the last 50 years than that midweek night. Takis singing, all the stands bouncing, only winning the league would better it, and even then, it might not surpass that moment when the whistle went. Sure he could have done some things differently and been like Tom Farmer, but really, what would you prefer, a mad Vlad or a boring old Scot in charge. One of Hearts greatest ever owners and someone who I doubt we will ever see the like of again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc-jambo Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I first got the measure of the man when I was reading the papers from abroad, in 2005, to see that 'anonymous' stories were being planted in the papers, which could only be coming from the club, regarding Hearts manager at the time, a guy called John Robertson. And I thought at the time: what a fine figure of a man is this, planting stories about JR in the press to prepare the ground for his dismissal.

Jambos_1874 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 The stand out quote for me is: "..if you believe, if you go for it, everything is possible.You can win the Scottish Cup. You can be champions but you have to go for it". That is exactly the sort of mentality that Scottish football needs and I thank him for giving Hearts fans a fleeting believe that we oould actually mount a challenge to the Old Firm and also for delivering two Scottish Cups. I disagreed with a lot of the things he did/statements he made but his biggest legacy has to be keeping us at Tynecastle. Moving to Murrayfield would have been a massive mistake but I just hope that we can survive the financial mess he's left behind (when he does eventually does go that is).

Captain America Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 The day I stood next to Vlad at an under 20s game is still one of the greatest moments of my life. I am thankful for all he has done for the club and without him we would have not seen the players we have grace the Tynecastle pitch or the cup wins/champions league qualification. He made mistakes but it was never dull under his stewardship. Give me an owner like Vlad over a Stewart Milne/Stewart Gilmour anyday of the week. He was a breath of fresh air to all of Scottish football. I hope we hear his song one more time at Tynecastle.
