I think that AB has learned her lesson in that regard. Expecting an announcement to follow. Re the re-signed players, yes that will have been Kirk in consultation with Stendel and I would imagine AB is now confirming with Neilson that we are signing Craig Gordon.

ShedBoy Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I think Presley would be a superb ambassador for us and really drive and sell the club. He communicates well and has been staunch in his support for us of late. Yes he got messed about and went away and done the Celtic thing. But what a captain he was for us, he would’ve taken a bullet for hearts.

They actually have a job to do ie sign players, don't let a promising 17 year olds contract run down, look at young players for future. Not just say nice things about the club.

They're as connected to him as they are to any other Hearts player/manager during their time at Tynecastle. This needs stopped and starved of oxygen. Anyone who mentions Levein in regard to Robbie is either an arse or a hibby in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
