Sydney from Sydney Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 After reading the sad news about the passing of the Dundee Utd chairman, it made me think how our fearless leader would be remembered if he suddenly fell off his perch.

Of course that could change only he has the power to change how we remember him by. Tyrant? Saviour? Hero? Idiot? Hated? Or the man who killed our club?

Buffalo Bill Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 For eight weeks in the early autumn of 2005 and for about five weeks in the spring of 2006 he made it a wonderful time to be a Hearts fan. The rest was a great big let-down. Buffalo Bill . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Kilpatrick Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Depends. If he left the club "safe", i.e. his death would lead to some sort of debt write-off etc., then he could be remembered as our greatest owner since Elias Furst.

Dundee Utd and Dunfermline were approached long before Romanov came to Hearts, they thought about it and decided it would be a bad move if he came to their clubs. I wonder why!?

jambonian Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Did the Pieman not win it in '98??Were you happy with the way that Fat bassa ran our Club??? You Said it!! Robinson was an arrogant to55er and should've asked others to make an approach regarding the takeover. One thing he did give us was managers' that cared about our club except Tommy McLean but he got shot of him after realising his mistake and brought in Jim Jeffries then Craig Levein. At least we had teams worth watching instead of a cattle market for 1st division quality Lithuanian players, that was Romanov's plan. Bring them over, sell for a profit, good idea if they were of sufficient quality, most of them aren't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambonian Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Have a word mate we are SPL Dunfy are 1St Division.UTD are below us . Your point. The point is, they were approached, then told him where to go, if they thought he was going to do them any good, they would've sold out to him. They might not be much better now than they were then but, how much worse could they have been if he did take them over, looking at how bad we've been since 2006? Didn't Utd finnish above us last season? How many times have Utd put 3 or 4 goals past us in the last 2 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just happens it was mad vlad that saved us that time. What annoys me is the mad man himself has shown everyone what we are capable of in in that first season with burley in charge. Yet we've been struggling like a mofo for the last 2 years. If only we had an owner with money that wasn't a complete nutjob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin_T Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 It's difficult to tell, if Hearts are left in a stable position and still resident at Tynecastle, I think Romanov's time will probably be reflected on with fondness. I suppose a good comparison might be Ivan Golac's tenure at Dundee United. He is now remembered by United fans as the man who delivered their only Scottish cup in 1994, not as the man who got them relegated the very next season.

hinksikensi Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 To me, he'd be remebered as a jekyll and hyde character. Loved him at times and hated him at times. Obviously kept us at tynie and gave us our best season for a long long time. But his general attitude and ramblings have infuriated me also.

Geoff Kilpatrick Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Hilarious. Read the "if" clause before the part you highlighted. "If" that was true, the three major achievements of his reign would be: - - Delivering a major trophy - Delivering a Champions League qualifying spot - Delivering an HMFC in better financial shape In the grand scheme of things, that would outweigh the rest of the pantomime show.
