Thumb Up Emoji Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 7 minutes ago, jonesy said: The BBC can suck Romanov's massive Russki baws. Constant low-level sniggering about him by some of their 'journalists' which more than crossed the line into xenophobia. He didn't help himself at times, but my god, the media in this country were quick to protect their succulent lamb when he threatened to replace it with some cabbage soup. Perhaps you could do a compilation of articles and shows from the BBC and 'other respected journalistic institutions' that referred to him as 'Mad Vlad', or count up the number of times he was referred to as Lithuanian, for starters. I hope your documentary paints a balanced picture of a flawed man who nonetheless brought joy to Hearts fans in the face of ridicule and xenophobia. The film is about FOH making Hearts the biggest fan-owned club in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t you see a human in it? Stop fighting for the values which the ex-captain of Hearts was fighting for.” Romanov, who has made a number of rants since taking over the club, had officials hand out bananas and peanuts to the press before last weekend’s Scottish Premier League home clash with St Mirren. He added: “Education and truthful information -- that should be your input to humankind. “Your leader Mowgli is not taking bananas any more, now he is taking money for lies and untruthful interpretation.” Romanov, told to quit by fans after the treatment of Pressley, ended the long statement by saying: “I beg you Mowgli, take the monkeys back to the safari park.” " There are pictures of him sitting on a cow with the Edinburgh provost as well, which stick in the mind.

Which I don't think has ever really been told in all its glorious and gory detail. . Many of the participants hid behind the "Confidentiality Clause" excuse but the chances of anyone being sued for breach of contract must now be rather remote.

i8hibsh Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 1 minute ago, jonesy said: Our documentary sheds light on how evil straight white man Romanov failed to include any transgender or openly homosexual people onto his board. Indeed, evidence exists that he bought and sold black men for cash, effectively making him no better than a 17th century slave trader. Thankfully, Ann Budge came in and made the Hearts first team wear pink while employing Ian Cathro in an effort to ensure oppressed minorities were represented at SPL level.
