Personally, I wouldn't credit the Lying King for ANYTHING other than, I hope, the demise of the tribute act.

Just went on that diddy teams board for two mins there what a way to annoy myself. Absolute bitter bunch of fans. 

Gets to move on to Gorgie to play Euro football and compete for silverware or go to some other championship side to finish mid table

"Great catch for a small club like Hearts though, probably the best player they have ever signed - exciting times for their fans. Helps them try to close the huge gulf between them and Rangers to catch them up in terms of quality."

 

Sheffield fans are a bit dim are they not !

Liking the mix of punts, proven experience, youngsters and long term prospects. Competition for every position. Lots of options for different formations. Near faultless team building in action.

 Having lived in England it’s not surprising they’re pretty much totally ignorant of scottish football. The coverage is virtually non existant.

Its harsh to drop anyone from the first team atm, but you have to imagine he’s coming to be a starter. The ammount of competition for places now in what was our weakest area of the park is astonishing. Dont play well and you could be straight on the bench.

 

Wonder if we’ll see Bozanic go out on a short term loan to one of the other teams in the pack like Burns & Edwards have?

 

Bozanic played well yesterday when he came on.

[Bauld]

Sheff Wed fans aren't too bothered and have written him off now that he has left them.

 

Funny thing is though they said something much different earlier this year before he got injured and refused to sign their contract.

With regard to Sheffield Wednesday fans slagging our league I was at Birmingham v West Brom on Friday night and the standard was ordinary and that was watching a team recently relegated. I think the difference between players being paid £2k a week and £20k a week is pretty marginal tbh in many cases.

I am still a bit gutted that Aberdeen failed to put Burnley out of Europe for that reason and I don't normally back the sheep. Missed chance as Burnley seem to be struggling this season and it would have been good to see how they would react to a Scottish team winning. The only time in my life when I was OK with the old Rangers winning was when they beat Leeds many years ago!

[Tynecastlesmychurch]

Jeezo I never realised what an ignorant, entitled, snobby, stuck up bunch of arseholes apparently most english football fans really are. ******* Sheffield Wednesday!  A team I hadn't heard of until I was around 18 maybe 19 years old. They must have been playing some (actual relevant) big team in the fa or league cup when I finally discovered the footballing titans that are... the owls... 

 

Honestly I have no feelings negative or positive towards Sheffield Wednesday. And none of us will deny that the championship is of a higher standard than our premier league. But the sheer levels of arrogance from fans of clubs in the English football league is truly stunning. Constantly going on about how one day you could be in the premier league. Yeah one day maybe but until then maybe keep the jokes about other clubs being small and unknown to yourself. Because considering some of your own pundits for example talksports Jason Cundy has always maintained that not only could TV companys and global audience's not care about the lower league teams. Hes actually said on numerous occasions that people dont care about any of the teams outside of the big 6 and the likes of Leicester, Everton and Southampton. So maybe after your done completely disregarding not just our club that we love but every club in Scotland maybe get a bit of perspective on your own clubs place in the world.

 

I have absolutely nothing against people thinking its a bad move for the boy. I really couldnt care. If hes as talented as people are saying then hell do fine. Why did he move to us? I honestly dont know. Maybe he was close to agreeing something elsewhere and it fell through? What I do know is we have a lot to offer the lad and im sure that must appeal to him. He wouldnt have signed if he wasn't keen. 

 

Anyway once again I have absolutely nothing against Sheffield Wednesday or any English club.

Uh huh. We’ve had a Champions League winner and a European Championship winner, and more international players than I can count (from a wide variety of countries). But no, I’m sure this 21-year-old from the English 2nd tier is the best player we’ve ever had on our books!

You're right, I couldn't name one Wednesday player now. Top teams are where I am!

[Jerah Jambo]

The Wednesday  fans are only reacting in the same way we did when we lost Jamie Walker, Jason Holt and others,  of course they can't believe that they left for what they perceive as inferior teams.

 

Maybe the question they should be asking of their own club is why should someone who is generally regarded as a top prospect was not willing to sign a contract with them regardless where he ended up.

You know more than you let on. Wednesday are a big enough club. But like many similar size English clubs on the road to nowhere despite decent following 

[Tynecastle Valhalla]

I watched shef wed away to Fulham last season where they won 1-0. They took a big away support and played very well. Fletcher got the goal which was a cracking move and finish. Fulham don’t get beaten at home often so was a good result. Barry bannan  was motm. 

 

Have lost respect for them after these comments - naive !

 

I get the feeling this guy will be a star for us and earn us millions

One of their fans rips into us about having scottish internationals like naismith and berra! Their star player is barry f##king bannon??? 

 

Its amazing to see how arrogant english lower league teams are.

They live off the success of the epl despite having no chance of even getting near it, believing that because they are based in the same country, having their begging bowls filled by the big clubs success they are also successful and relevant.

The scottish league may not match the epl and the scottish cup may not be the CL... however, winning one of them with hearts will mean far more to clare than celebrating a 15th place finish with wed

[Finlay James]

Take the sky money out of English football and you're left with a product no better than the SPL but played in front of soulless stadiums with day tripper supporters and tourists.

 

English football have played a blinder in convincing their public that they see a product each week that is on a par with La Liga when the truth is that it is nowhere near that standard.  The reality is that the riches on offer has only really benefitted a few clubs in terms of winning trophies.  The bottom 10 of the EPL and top half of the championship is the same standard as what I watch each week in the SPL.  

 

That must hurt like hell for the English media and fans.  As for Sheffield Wednesday, when you look at the comparative histories/honors with Hearts, Sean Clare has made a huge step up by joining us.

Cant see it. He's a decent, experienced option when required. Strength in depth won't last long if we loan out anyone who doesn't start regularly.

Yes, the sad fact for some of them is that they have witnessed Hearts lifting the cup at Hampden while still never having seen their own team do it.

[tynewater]

The criticism of the Wednesday fans for their reaction to this is a bit harsh. It's not like a rated player in the English Championship moves to Scotland very often, never mind to a team outside the OF. It's hardly surprising that they find it hard to understand. Looking at this thread, plenty of Hearts fans are also surprised it's happened. No idea how well he'll do at Hearts, but it's an ambitious move by the club, and shows real intent to make a serious challenge at the top end of the table. With the new stand, new pitch and excellent training facilities, the club is a very attractive proposition for players these days. Exciting times ahead.
