Dr. Bapswent Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 http://sport.scotsman.com/sport/Laszlo-travels-with-Hearts-squad.4279514.jp Laszlo travels with Hearts squad Published Date: 11 July 2008 By BARRY ANDERSON CSABA LASZLO will fly to Belfast with Hearts on Monday to watch his prospective new squad in action against Glentoran, however, sport director Anatoli Korobochka and coach Angel Chervenkov are likely to take charge of the team for the evening. The Tynecastle club are edging nearer appointing the Hungarian as their new manager after we exclusively revealed on our website yesterday that the Hungarian was in Edinburgh for contract talks. He has already sought to address one misconception about himself, telling club staff last night to address him by his first name, Csaba, and not Laszlo, which is the family name. The Ugandan Football Federation gave permission for their head coach to travel to Scotland and begin negotiations. Discussions were scheduled to continue today but an appointment is unlikely before Monday evening's engagement in Ulster. Hearts officials hope to announce Laszlo, 44, as their new figurehead by the middle of next week, provided contract terms and compensation for the Ugandan Federation can be agreed. No decision has been taken on his backroom staff but the club have confirmed an African assistant is not likely. Korobochka, assisted by Chervenkov, will take command of the side against Glentoran before giving way to Laszlo next week. The former Ferencvaros coach watched Hearts train for the first time at Riccarton yesterday morning. He met several first-team players and club staff before being transferred to Tynecastle for talks with Korobochka and Mindaugas Nikolicius, a financial official from Ukio Bankas Investment Group. Laszlo emerged from the stadium office block via a back exit at 6.37pm following more than four hours of negotiations. He was driven off in the passenger seat of Korobochka's club Honda. The Ugandan Federation, whilst reluctant to see their head coach depart, believe Hearts are in the process of recruiting a dedicated and astute manager. "He brought more professionalism and consistency to the team here," said Lawrence Mulindwa, the association president. "In our last campaign, we only missed out on qualifying for the Africa Cup of Nations in Ghana on goal difference. "That was a big thing in this country. Laszlo has tried his level best, he has been co-operative and adaptable. Managing an African team is not easy because there are lots of issues you must overcome. "If he can use that experience he can easily manage a team in northern Europe. All the facilities are there, he can get anything he wants. That is not the case in Uganda." Charles Masembe, general secretary of the Ugandan Federation, said: "We know that he will leave but what can we do? He has done a very good job here and we wish him all the best in Scotland." Hearts will have to pay out ?120,000 compensation should they appoint the former Ferencvaros coach, whose ?48,000-a-year contract with the Africans is not due to expire until the end of 2010. Laszlo was born in Odorhei, Romania, but has Hungarian citizenship. He speaks English, German, Hungarian and Romanian and will relocate to Scotland with his wife and two children. A statement released by Hearts yesterday read: "Heart of Midlothian Football Club confirmed today that the club was in talks with Csaba Laszlo regarding the vacant managerial position at Tynecastle. Laszlo was granted permission to speak with Hearts by the Ugandan FA, as the Romanian-born coach is currently the Uganda national team manager."

Not disagreeing Dave (though not sure they have to be surly to be fair - probably just disagreeable would be OK) Just mentioning that it seems inconsistent with what we have read in other threads.
