redm Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 "Icelandic boss Thordarson would remain an option for Romanov if he was prepared to let the Russian banker know his team line-up around 24 hours before kick-off. However, that is something the Akranes boss will not consider." Hmmm.

Only a Game Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Good news in my opinion if it happens. Surely this would mean things would be brought to a head and the supporters of this sad dishevelled mess we used to proudly call Heart of Midlothian Football Club will finally get off their collective erses, wake up and smell the coffee, unite and try and force something being done about this crap.. I really hope this happens because lets face it, nothing bloody good is going to happen and we might as well get to everyone's breaking point sooner rather than later. I assume that Malofeev coming back and a puppet manager being appointed, or no manager being appointed, does finally reach most people's breaking point ?

Carl Spackler Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 The Express is the worst for making up stories. This wouldn't surprise me though. After all somebody has to take pre-season since they are making such an almighty ****** of getting a manager in but anybody could make the educated guess that Malofeev would be the man. IMO there is no way Malofeev will be back at Tynecastle (at least as far as we know). He is too unpopular and rightly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Gordons Gloves Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 If that complete clown gets anywhere near Riccarton or Tynie then next season will be even worse than the past one gone.

Care to elaborate as from what I can see we are now approaching (1 week away) our 3rd pre season running without an appropriate manager. The evidence that he is trying to appease the fans was the Jan 1st Statement. To me the fact that they have been unable to land a manager indicates ineptness not a lack of will. I mean to say even Mandaric has managed to get yet another manager in so what's the problem at Hearts? Just imagine if Malofeev was put in charge again. There WOULD be mass revolt. Romanov cannot be that stupid that he doesn't realise that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mixture of incompetence and a total lack of importance put on bringing an appropriate manager in. Just imagine if Malofeev was put in charge again. There WOULD be mass revolt. Romanov cannot be that stupid that he doesn't realise that. I hope so but there is such an apathy amongst our support that I'm not sure. Romaknob has some under a spell, to scared to force his hand in case there is no other option. Depressing days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest S.U.S.S. Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Dear Vlad, I did not renew as i think your a dick and ****ing up our club, i was planning to attend matches anyway, yes it would cost me a little more but thats ok with me. If you let this piece of **** that pretends to be a manager near our club, not only will i not renew, i wont attend nor purchase anything with the Hearts logo, my small non contribution will of course not worry you in the slightest because you are an egotistical manipulative **** bag. Rot in hell. Yours SUSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamboy81 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Could just be paper talk? Definately a Vladgimp type stance but until Mad Malofeev steps back into Tynecastle then I wont believe it will happen. Then again, we appoint child molestors as managers, maybe Vlad can see potential in old Ed? Bring back Mad Ed!! Maybe Vlad took my campaign too literally?

Game over in what sense Geoff ? What do we do about it if its true ? Have we got any fight left in us ? Does fighting mean we force him out ? because I dont believe we can force him to change, surely he'd have done that by now if he was at all concerned about what we thought. Game over for Romanov is probably game over for the football club currently known as Heart of Midlothian FC. I'd be happier if we forced him out sucessfully and started again sucessfully to be honest, because I just cant see where things start to get better under this lunatic ? But how the feck do we go about it ? Do we want to go about it collectively as a fan base ? Could we succeed and still have a club ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Vlad will have exhausted any goodwill he's had from the support. Protests will start and fans will walk away. What happens to the club is an interesting question. Vlad may decide to continue showcasing in front of relatively empty stands. Alternatively, he might try and sell and pack up, which would be easier than pursuing any sort of land deal, particularly in the current environment. The main problem is that there appears to be no one else on the horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its not modus operandi on here, but we all know Vlad can (and has) got away with murder and nothing at all will ever happen. You think? Well, I know it might suit your tendencies, but Hearts fans have been tolerant of Romanov because of his ownership of everything lock, stock and barrel, and the fact that success has been delivered under him (in some ways despite of him, but I digress). However, people will only allow the proverbial to be taken out of them for so long. That tolerance has even extended to the Frail tenure because he did get some results and the expectation was that a replacement would be found in the summer. I even admit that I took the club at face value over the 1 January statement. Now, of course, that last chance appears to have been burned. So, that "tolerance" is over. Vlad is being judged by actions, not words, and his actions show that nothing has changed. I think fans have had enough. Not one penny more will be forthcoming from me to the club as things stand. It may only be a Hearts World subscription and merchandise but it will all add up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're over estimating the Hearts fans power. 90% of fans will just renew anyway - its what fans do (yeh real fans, before anyone says it ) Romanov has played on this I reckon. Ever since the day he sabotaged Hearts title bid and sacked Burley he's known he can do what ever the ****** he wants and folk will still turn up. And Pressley, Anderton, Rix, etc etc etc, at any normal club he would have been chased out the door agaes ago. Alot of people said last season was the last straw and wouldn't be going back until a manager was appointed, yet most folk have renewed, even though the whole manager search has been a total farce and no one has been hired. I stand by my summary, the Hearts fans are weak and will lap up anything this clown throws at us. I know it's not towing the party line on here but who cares. Vlad doesn't want to change, nor does he need to. Most people will just pay him the money anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been weak and/or outsandingly tolerant or simply scared up till now, and probably for a bit beyond now. But even a weakling bites back eventually if you push them hard enough. It might take a while. It might even take a while longer, but there is a breaking point, which I think will come at some stage this season, given the way it is shaping up so far.

Vlad doesn't want to change, nor does he need to. Most people will just pay him the money anyway. A 33% drop in ST sales would indicate otherwise, particularly since football is a drug that is hard to give up. I also think that people had had enough of protest during the SoH days. They were ineffective and they probably feel it will be even more ineffective if Vlad is in hiding. However, in Robinson's case I honestly feel he was being forced down a particular path due to his own incompetence. In this case, this has been a urine extraction exercise and the fans will react to that, particularly if they have renewed as a result of 1 January. So, don't worry, you'll get your wish that you've had since 2005 at last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuanD Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 why oh why oh why? the guy couldnt manage 2 kids never mind a squad full of multi nationals. This saddens me deeply and I would say im glad I can no longer attend the games (work comitments) I have been a Romanov follower from the start although I did think most of his stuff was far fetched I wanted to give him a good chance... Bringing him bak into the team only shows his lak of ambition. I hope im wrong, but I see a bad seadon ahead!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
