portobellojambo1 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Its good to listen to. He's so close to telling us all something that he's not suppose to say. I think he is stuck in no man's land to be honest. I am sure there are things he could say, possibly things he would like to say, and as he indicated if he did he would make a lot more money than he got as his severance package. But he also knows that if he did spill the beans he could or would become unemployable within football circles, and that is not a risk worth taking.

CBjambo Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Says he doesn't shed a tear over Hearts gettin beat or owt after how he was treated, but spares a thought for the players he coached and the fans. He finds it hard to feel sorry for anything that happens to Hearts after the way he was treated. It has left a bitter taste in the mouth. He had to speak out at the Dundee Utd game as things had gone too far. He spoke out to protect the players and to protect his job (ie: who was choosing the team) even though it cost him his job... Shaggy who was there at the time goes on to say that Rix agonised over the decision and that he had the complete backing of the players... and that he was missed by them all when he went! Rix reckons Valdas had nothing to do with any success at Hearts and that he basically kept Burley's team on track and that he was a success there. He is also writing a book (about his career) and that there will be a chapter in it about Hearts and he'll tell all!!! Shaggy has signed a confidentiality agreement but Rix hasn't! Pressley also said that Rix was a proper manager, a man's manager and a true gent, Shaggy agreed. Despite his past... those in football know that Rix knew what he was doing.

Rudi Skacel Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I dont think Rix got a fair bite at the cherry. The fact he was sacked should mean that no clause was agreed no?

I think he finds himself in a position now where, as he says, he has a very comfortable job in Spain, and he is probably not fussy how Romanov (for example) may react to what he writes.

Denny Crane Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I feel we would have won the Cup under Rix. That Champion's League spot however.... I'm not so sure (that 2-1 win at Falkirk being my main point of reference - I just have this feeling that game would have finished 1-1 under Rix. Valdas took a few risks in those last 10 minutes - something I can't wholeheartedly claim Rix would have done). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a good exercise for some of the statically minded posters with time on the hands to list the sacked ex employees of Hearts and their present employment and then to judge if Mr Romanov is right or wrong.

Don Juan Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 The game where we got beat 3-2 off Celtic summed Rix up for me, 1st half absolutely tanking Celtic, going all out on the offensive, 2nd half totally negative and nervous.

shaun.lawson Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Rix was, and is, an awful manager - probably because he's not really a manager at all. He's a coach. I don't believe for a moment we'd have got 2nd had he been left in charge, and am highly sceptical that we'd have won the Cup either. However, this should not negate in any way the ridiculous set of circumstances he had to deal with, nor what he has to say. We all hope that the interference and behind the scenes nonsense are over now, and things can begin afresh - but if they don't, his book will make highly relevant and illuminating reading. I'm also sick and tired of people who urge those who leave the club to put up or shut up, then slag them off if they do: sorry, but you can't have it both ways. Coming clean about what exactly has been going on is clearly a risky step for anyone in terms of their future employment prospects, and it's cloud cuckoo land to think that anyone would do so for free - but then, it's also cloud cuckoo land to believe that many of those putting the boot into him would behave with the utmost moral probity had they been in the same shoes, just as many of those who criticise "mercenaries" when they exit Tynecastle would themselves jump into a better paid job without a second thought. I'm not asking for angels or monks here: all I'm interested in is the truth. And if Rix' account better helps us to understand it, he'll actually be doing all those who just want what's best for HMFC a very big service.

Broxburn_Jambo Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Rix was a disgrace as a manager, however you look at the incident that landed him in prison it was unsavoury at best. He lied to the fans before his second game in charge about the availability of pospisil and introduced the hated 4 5 1 formation. If it wasn't for the players and valdas we would not have won the cup. As for frail I don't think I have ever heard so much rubbish in post match conferences about how he saw the game.

If Burley had an axe to grind I would understand but I couldnt give a monkeys what Rix has to say. He has probably realized that he had his last managers job so has got to try and earn a crust another way. I can't remember too many games when Rix didn't have the basis of Gordon, Neilson, Pressley, Webster, Fyssas, Hartley, Skacel with him. Jankauskas, Pospisil and Bednar were constantly injured not leaving us too many front options. We all know about Vlad's insistence on Miko/Chesney, no Brellier but apart from the Aberdeen Cup game and the Dundee Utd league game where players were flued up/rested Rix nearly always managed somehow to get out our strongest team. This is credit to him for 'standing up' to Vlad however, there are a number things he should never be forgiven for. - Accepting away draws, irrespective of how poor the opposition - Foot off the gas against Hibs. That was our one chance to do them over big time in my lifetime (4 goals wins/Scottish cup wins are becoming tiresome) - The sheer panic against Partick Thistle - Having to be told by fans at Tannadice and Livingston to make changes - The cups of tea. After it was obvious we were not going to win the league we had half a dozen games we had to win. Livingston (win - the fans were more responsible) Falkirk (win) Hibs (cup -win) Killie (win) Aberdeen (win) Gretna (win). I am positive all these outcomes would have been worse if Rix had remained in charge. Something similar has happened when Frail has been in charge. And on every occasion we have put in abject performances. Rix/Frail may be good football men in all senses. But the ability their abality to manage, even with the intereference of a meglomaniac (sp?) owner is sadly lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun.lawson Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Well then he shouldn't spout his whole 'I am the pariah of Midlothian, I spread virtue and truth, the truth will set the Jambos free!' pish. He doesn't want Hearts fans to know the truth, he wants gullible Hearts fans to buy his book in the vain hope that a huge story comes from it. Nope. He does want Hearts fans to know the truth, and also knows he's sitting on a potentially huge story that will help sell his book. It's cloud cuckoo land to think anyone would do anything different in such a position - and as for 'gullible Hearts fans'... So you're saying that if he tells us anything you wouldn't like to hear in terms of his time at the club, he must be lying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
