Jasonauskas Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Robinson is the reason why we were not an attractive proposition to any investor, Romanov became the majority shareholder and was welcomed because of the mess that Robinson had got us into.

Eldar Hadzimehmedovic Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 No. Any jambo with common sense knows that Romanov is by far the best option we have. To even consider having the pieman back at Tynie is ridiculous. PIEMAN GTF Can't say I agree with that, to be honest. Romanov is following the same path as Robinson; early-ish success followed by mediocrity and terrible decision-making that actually jeopardises the future stability of the club. Robinson eventually left pretty much despised by all and that fate awaits Romanov. It's only a matter of when. FWIW, I wouldn't welcome Robinson back. I would welcome a sustained, concerted effort by all Hearts fans that made it perfectly clear we want Romanov to put the club up for sale now. Not in a month, not at the end of the season, and not at the end of the "plan". But for him to make clear immediately he will seriously listen to offers for the club. It's not an understatement to say that the club faces a potentially disastrous stagnation as more and more fans simply lose interest in whether we win, lose or draw. Reading posts by respected posters such as Buffalo Bill that sum up perfectly the reality that most Hearts fans now simply support the ritual of going to games, rather than the club or the team itself makes me worried. That mentality won't last forever. Even the ritual will become boring eventually. Romanov has ripped the soul right out of the club, the team and the fans. Not even Robinson managed that.

Peebo Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Difficult one,you see I could actually follow Hearts when he was incharge,unlike now,so more than likely yes. I was about the slate the original post, but then upon reading this, it has actually got me thinking. Ignoring for a moment his ineptitude, incompetence, breathtaking arrogance and the fatal path he was leading the club down, at least Robinson appeared to be interested in the role he was in. On the playing side, we had a normal management set up, and it seemed like everyone was pulling in the right direction. I could handle it when we were crap, simply because...we were crap, and that was it. Off the pitch, Robinson was a figure that almost became enjoyable to hate. With Romanov, all I feel is bemusement and ambivalence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see,what CPR did was build us a stadium,tried his hardest to give us very very good players,an academy,league and cup success,european football every second season,in return he wanted fans to turn up on a regular basis 15-16'000 per home game would have done. He speculated to accumulate,it didn't pay of for him,he didn't have the financial clout,the bank wanted their money,IMO he panicked and tried to sell so as not to go into administration.

You are mistaken in the things you credit Robinson for achieving. All the factors for the stands were set into motion by Wallace Mercer. Robinson can be credited for signing the SMG deal against the advice of Leslie Deans, and spending every penny of it on duds like Petric. Our debt under Robinson ballooned to ?20m+ and he had signed the deal to sell the ground to Cala homes. It was this that gave us no option but to sell to Romanov. Some of you seriously want Robinson back? Give yourselves a good shake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you mental????? Remember the 98 when we won the cup, we were right in the chase for the league. RIght in it, not like in 05 when we fell away early. JJ asked for backing to get a new midfielder cos we only had Baggio, Stef and Mickey. Pieman offered ?50k. To sign a player to compete with Celtic for the league!!! Ok, we were skint, but ?200k for a once in a lifetime shot at the league.... And when we got the SMG money, JJ was ORDERED to spend ?500k within a week basically to massage CR's ego.

hearts_crazy Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 It never ceases to amaze me what sort of threads we get on here after a loss. This one has to take the cake mind, the pieman was the one that sold us to Vlad in the first place. Can I also point out that he had already sold Tynecastle to Cala Homes and we were going to Murrayfield, not maybe, not perhaps, it was going to happen (not saying thank you Lord Vlad for keeping us at Tynecastle licky licky sook sook here BTW, just that it was CR that put us in that position in the first place). Would I have Chris Robinson back? No way, daft question anyway, he couldn't afford us now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was mental but did not get the media attention VR does, and there wasnt a JKB for us to all pontificate Er - but we bought Petric two and a half months after the SMG deal was ratified! So that's a new one on me: and believe me, I'm JJ's biggest defender on here most the time. As for Pieman turning down his requests in March '98: sheesh. We lost ?2m that year as it was, and certainly couldn't afford even more expenditure: especially when we were never quite good enough to win the league, particularly defensively. If we'd made those signings, I think we'd have come up just short, losing out narrowly to Celtic; would've got nothing extra in terms of European competition, and because we'd have been devastated, would probably have lost the Cup Final too. A big reason why we won that game is the players were able to rest up for a few weeks and focus entirely on the final, if you recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take your word for the 98 goings on I was 12. i guess so. But when we went for the league in 05, VR spent big in the transfer window. OK, he bought dross, but his commitment was there. We'll see what happens this January i guess, but we're still paying the price for that dross CR is the worst thing thats happened to Hearts in my opinion. He nearly destroyed us mate. While at the same time taking something like the 3rd or 4th highest wage for a football director in the whole of Britain. His Mrs was on the payroll too.
