Rick Grimes Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 not ashamed to say that I've been waiting for our new manager to be unveiled before renewing, and was gonna leave it till the last minute anyway. but it appears we've been outdone in a serious bid for a serious manager. so is the move itself enough for those who are still waiting?

bighusref Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I wonder if VR thinks that the move was enough to encourage fans. I wonder if that is the reason why we took the unprecedented step of announcing we were trying to get a Scottish manager, just like the fans want. VR: I tried to get you your Scottishman but he is only interested in money and greed...yadda...yadda...yadda.....R@ng*rs fault.....C*lt!c's fault....referees fault... yadda yadda yadda.

New manager is a nobody. I just wonder. Seems to me that the Romanovs are not that far off the mark(pardon the pun) about Some Scottish Managers. MARK McGREED has obviously used Hearts to wangle a better deal at Motherwell. I was on the Well fans website the other night and a lot of them dont trust him and think he is just a money grabber who will defect sooner or later. IMO we are better off without him.Lets face it all this fuss over ONE half decent season. At least we now know that Hearts are seriously in the market for a proper manager and was'nt it the case that George Burley was second choice at the time.

As we have said before, no manager worth his salt will take the job with any interference on the football side. Vlad should just make himself the manager, then hopefully he will make an erse of it and leave Edinburgh for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Busby ! Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Did anyone buy a ST on the strength of the McGhee story ? I'm not blaming or taking a shot at you if you did.

Guest Freewheelin' Jambo Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 My views on renewal are well known. But even I was caught up in this and once McGhee was announced officially (Christ) I would have renewed immediately. Nothing has changed my views on Romanov and if this deal has fallen through I can only blame one man: Vladimir Romanov, for creating a previously unheard of scenario: The manager of Motherwell prefers to stay there rather than manage Heart of Midlothian, one of the top 20 clubs in Britain. Christ, even the Chipmunk left them to come to us. No REAL manager, no season ticket. Nothing has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie-Brown Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 The Manager of Falkirk (arguably even smaller than Motherwell) once rejected Hearts to stay at his club even though he'd previously been Hearts captain.....he subsequently changed his mind a few days later but seldom have I been as dejected as I was that saturday afternoon / weekend.

Jam Tarts 1874 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I'll still get to games next season, but no manager no renewal. Hearts were patient with McGhee, so if it turns out that McGhee was just using us then I will make a point of getting to all the games against Motherwell and will hope that whoever is playing for Hearts rams it right down McGhee's throat. I find it hard to believe that Romanov could have messed up this deal whilst McGhee was in London waiting for a flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you think that McGhee has managed to wangle the ?350,000K that we are alleged to have offered out of Motherwell- dream on ! More likely that this was the most cynical and deceitful ploy yet to move the season ticket sales and there was no serious attempt to get McGhee. What is it that makes you think that this debacle is an indication that we are in the market for a proper manager. More likely to be the fore-runner to "Look we tried to get a Scottish Manager but they are all corrupt untrustworthy money grabbers - so here's somenknown Eastern European to tide us over for now." I hope I am wrong and you are right but till I get some factual evidence I will retain what I think of as a healthy does of cynicism and my season ticket money ain't going anywhere near Vlad's wallet. I really hope that not too many were tempted over the last few days by the McGhee scenario - I must admit I was but managed to hold firm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicTs Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I'll be down to Tynecastle to renew the day an experienced manager is given full control of footballing matters. I had hoped I would be renewing by the end of this week (as well as once again being of a mind to encourage others I know are swithering to renew and give Romanov another chance) but my ?465 will remain in my bank account until the shambles we have had to endure is remedied.

The Baldmans Comb Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Whether it was to be Mcghee or Gus Hidink is all rather irrelevant. The problems at Hears go far deeper than who the manager is and I plan to retain my self respect and become a walk up fan and not renew until the ultimate ownership of the club has been changed. Don't renew and give credence to these complete imposters and instead support the club and become a walkup fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
