Texy Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Can't remember the reasons really, just skimmed the article.. did a quick google and found this nice summary: 1. Florentino Perez - for making players bigger than clubs 2. Vladimir Romanov - for being a mad foreign owner 3. Lord Justice Taylor - for bankrupting clubs with all seater stadia 4. Alan Ball - for wearing white boots 5. Pete Winkleman - for turning clubs into franchises 6. Jimmy Hill - for abolishing minimum wage 7. The FA - for stifling British youth development 8. RS Charleroi - for making clubs more important than countries 9. Pini Zahavi - for being the first "super-agent" 10. Rupert Murdoch - for creating the "haves" and "have nots" 11. Andy Webster - for making contracts meaningless 12. Francis Lee - for being football's first diver 13. World Cup Willie - for being the first World Cup mascot 14. Jean-Marc Bosman - for ending player loyalty 15. Jack Warner - for being a FIFA survivalist 16. Pierre Van Hooijdonk - for being a striking striker 18. Tim Lovejoy - for being a "nouveau" fan 19. Posh Spice - for being Queen of WAGS 20. The G14 - for forming an impenetrable cartel 21. Richard Scudamore - for the 39th game 22. Sir Alf Ramsey/Sir Geoff Hurst - for raising expectations 23. Peter Ridsdale - for gambling away his club's future 24. Peter Kenyon - for commercialising the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdoffstl Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Saved a club from extinction Outed SDM & his lackeys in the "free"? press Gave sports reporters more column inches than they have ever had Just about underwrote the running costs of the SFA through his fines Organised breakfast clubs for schoolkids Free strips & match tickets for kids Oh yes - ruined football right enough The only peolple Vlad's ruined football for in the last couple of years are the regular Hearts supporters (like myself), who have been frustrated as hell with team / manager interferences As for local schools, the GFA, the press, rival clubs - they must love him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut The Crap Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I must admit, if Vlad was involved with any other club, I'd probably think he was great fun. Especially if it was Hibs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redm Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 The fact that he appears on the list surprises me a little bit I suppose, but his placing is definitely ridiculous given the illustrious company he's keeping. Worse than The FA, Murdoch and Posh Spice? I think not... I'm sure he'll probably just find it very amusing anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxteth O'Grady Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 FHM should stick to publishing pictures of Scantily Clad Tarts Any list which doesn't start with "1.Brother Walfrid" has no credibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamboinglasgow Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 The problem is that Vlad is only known down south for his rants and odd behaviour. They probably wanted someone who represented crazy foregin owners and thought vlad was the best one to do that. Impressed they are aware of Webster ruling though.

redm Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 You sure that's the current magazine actually? I'm positive that he came second in a very similar list type affair in the last month or two.

loveofthegame Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Actually read it this morning at my mates- he's 2nd but its not a countdown list, just an article titled the '24 people who ruined football.' Its half serious, half joking (for example Alan Balls on the list for being the 1st person to non black boots-in his case he wore white). The bit about Vlad isn't too bad, just tells the truth really! Talks about his mad rants, his exploits involving Hearts and not involving Hearts (Strictly Come Dancing for example) and talks about how many managers we've gone through. Its a small piece and certainly nothing to get upset about! Glad they included Judas Webster on the list though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euan64 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 This was on Hibs.net a few weeks ago. I think someone there pointed out it was written by a hibby, crawley_hibby or something. Could explain why Vlad is at number 2 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamboinglasgow Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Cant believe Sebb Blatter isn't on that list, he is corrupt and keeping FIFA as a money making organisation for the benefit of its leaders to sell complimentry tickets they recieve for big money and lining their own pockets. Then has the cheek to every so often come up with an idea to "improve" football which is usually something that will never be accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Harris Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 out of interest what do FHM think Mr. Romanov has done to "ruin football"? Fair enough, he's done some pretty stupid things in his time as owner of Hearts but has this really been felt outwith HMFC or, at most, the other clubs he has an interest in? or is he just the focus of anti-pathy for the "crazy foreign owner type person" in general?

Some folk really do need to calm down on the paranoia front. Oops, sorry. I know it's the lowest form of wit and all that, I just couldn't resist. By the way, I would agree that Vlad has hardly "ruined football" in general terms. How the hell do they get that? The only thing I can think of is sabotaging our title bid in 2005 (which would have reverberated right around Europe) but even then that was far from a guarantee. Sure, he's an idiot, and a bit of a bampot, but ruined football? Don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
