Guest ToqueJambo Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Vlad undoubtedly saved the club, and Tynecastle, but once he'd patched up our sinking submarine and it looked like we were heading for success he then proceeded to shoot holes in it to take it down again. Weird guy. Certainly not boring though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad forgave us almost £30 million of debt which would have put us under if he had allowed it to be called in. He's welcome for a cup of tea at ma hoose anytime.

OTT Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) His tenure is something all you can do is look back and laugh at. His first year offered so much promise but he couldn't just invest, he had to get too involved in areas he frankly didn't belong in. 2007-2012 was a total non event. It wasn't like we managed anything. New stadium/stand never got off the ground, millions wasted, no real talent brought through (driver and gordon before his time right?) and millions spunked up a wall for no discernible reason. The two Scottish cups was great and he'll be remembered for that, but **** me. What a shit show the time in-between was.. I'd love him to do a Q&A on JKB though, would be fantastic reading 7 minutes ago, upgotheheads said: Robinson. Ignore is a fantastic feature btw Saves having to deal with utter helmets.

Jambo dans les Pyrenees Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Good health to Mr Romanov who I'm sure is tuning into BBC Scotland tonight from his dacha somewhere. Best wishes also to the lovely Yulia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
