Des' Dad Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I know there have been threads on here about this already but it really is getting quite serious. Five days to go until the transfer window closes and?nothing. Not only have we not taken the opportunity to get rid of the dead wood thereby freeing up cash to invest in new players but there?s not even a decent rumour about anyone coming in. The first step should have been to appoint a new manager with enough time left in the window for him to bring in some players and make his mark on the team. I don?t believe for one minute that Shaggy has not suggested players he would like to add to the squad but it would seem that he has been totally ignored. I wonder how the two guys who went over to Lithuania for an audience with the ?great one? feel now about the absolute rubbish they appear to have been told. I know that, as an ordinary fan, I am getting fed up to the back teeth with unfulfilled promises and downright lies coming from the owner of our great club. What is even more galling is that, judging by this forum, a large number of our fellow supporters are taken in by all this p**h. I hope I?m proved wrong by close of play next Thursday but I?m concerned that even if he does dip into the market, it will be too little, too late and we will continue for the rest of this season to try to avoid finishing last in the SPL.

Personally I?m glad we?ve not gone out and bought a load of guff like we did 2 years ago in the January window. Jose is the ONLY one of those 12 who is still in the team or indeed was ever really established in the team. It is fine to demand action but it is the current squad who landed us in our current position and it is up to them to get us out of it. I?d far rather see a new manager come in and then change the playing personnel. I concede however that we are still waiting upon a manager but I think we all knew that such position would not be filled quickly. I?m not putting a time limit upon such an important appointment, I just hope it is finally the correct man for the job when it comes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkfish1979 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I know there have been threads on here about this already but it really is getting quite serious. Maybe a slight understatement.... I reckon it's the same old stuff from Hearts, and if we're going to get anybody in, it'll be well under that radar until the player(s) are paraded. I don't recall anybody having a clue about Nade and Basso until they were pretty much done deals. Maybe we'll see something on or before Thursday, maybe we won't - it's pretty much irrelevant anyway, IMO - it would need to be an Earth shattering appointment if people are expecting one or two players to get our season back on track. We have the potential to rip most sides in the league a new ersehole, but it's not currently being realised. Performance means a whole lot more to me than personell, and if the performances are poor, an unsettled newcomer is going to choke just as badly as the guys that are already there.

Five days to go until the transfer window closes and…nothing. Not only have we not taken the opportunity to get rid of the dead wood thereby freeing up cash to invest in new players but there’s not even a decent rumour about anyone coming in. The first step should have been to appoint a new manager with enough time left in the window for him to bring in some players and make his mark on the team.

I don't know what statement you read but no-one promised us a new manager by the end of the transfer window. As I've said on countless other threads I would rather the board took their time to appoint the right man than rush to appoint the wrong one. If it means the transfer window closing before that time then so be it. The new manager will have to work with the cards he is dealt and rebuild the squad in the summer.

CMc Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 For me I think the main problem is the lack of comunication with the fans. I expect to see a couple of signings announced on deadline night as always (I don't agree with this trend - we could use the reinforcements now, but it is how we opperate). I don't want the club to rush in and appoint a Rix or a Malofeev and as we will not realisticly go down or qualify for Europe I think we have time. However, keeping the fans in the dark is not acceptable. It causes us to fear the worst and expect the worst. I know a lot of people won't belive a word that comes out of the club in the meantime ( I am one of them) but i think it would show some consideration. Otherwise we are tarred with the same brush as the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Chat Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Hearts never comment on signing targets and nobody knows what is going on behind the scenes at Hearts. Utill they do, threads like this are completely uneccesary as, for all the OP knows, we could well be trying to get people in etc. I do agree about the lack of communication point however.

Des' Dad Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 I don't know what statement you read but no-one promised us a new manager by the end of the transfer window. Only making the point that it would have been a good idea to have a new manager in place before the window closes so that he might have an input into potential signings. Maybe that's exactly why they won't appoint one until after the window closes, or am I being cynical? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Busby ! Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Players in and out don't concern me at this point. ALL I want is a manager to come in ...and then let HIM decide who's good, who's guff and who might be rehabilatated (Bednar being the example there). If it takes him till the end of May to decide on all of that then so be it. BUT MANAGER NOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it takes him till the end of May to decide on all of that then so be it. BUT MANAGER NOW. This is basically how I feel. Unlike a lot of people who post on here I still think we have enough good players and all we need is a decent manager. Yes there's some guff players but we have probably a matchday squad of players who under the correct tutelage would do very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horse Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I hope we do not sign any players in this window as they will just be VR signings.

Guest JamboRobbo Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 And saying he would come back after the break, and he did. Well, Vlad said to my face Valdas wasn't ill, and that he'd come back if and only if Malofeev decided so. Malofeev being utterly incompetent meant the return of Valdas. But keep believing the lies and bs fed to the plebs to keep them happy/quiet if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malofeev being utterly incompetent meant the return of Valdas. But keep believing the lies and bs fed to the plebs to keep them happy/quiet if you like. Malofeev was a disaster, of that there is no doubt, though he did come so close to winning at Darkheid had the players, including CG not Rsd up. For all we know Valdas may have been ill, he certainly looked stressed out some times, and given everyone was on his back - employer (apparently) and fans, I would not be surprised if he was ill - we will bever know though. However, no promises were made about what manager would be appointed, other than a British style manager, or experience of the British game - nor was there, or has there ever been promises about who that individual may be or when he would be appointed. The same goes for players. Most of the players we are suppose to be signing come from names quotes here, or a dodgy rumours website, where you can post almost anything. Some people, however, take it as gospel and start accusing the club of lying about things, when the club in actual fact have said nothing (which in itself is frustrating sometimes, and yes, perhaps does not help matters).
