bigwull22 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 well that's ?3.3 mill clean/cleared profit into the vacum that is the Vladster, ?1 mill for Driver, not bad money, another career down the swanny though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adeb74 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 cant understand the sense in a move to Coventry when there has been other clubs linked to him. For me he isnt ready for a move yet. Both Hearts and Driver would be better off if he stays till end of next season at least. 5 year contract so prob worth 3 mill by then!!!! Even if Hearts have accepted the bid doesnt mean he has to accept it! I hope he stays put! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackhallJambo Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 If this is true and I desperately hope it isnt Romanov is even more desperate than I thought. Everyone can see that Driver has huge potential and is on a long term contract. Holding on for at least a year would see his valuation double or even triple which suggests that Romanov is really in need of cash. My big worry is that it is used to pay debts elsewhere in his empire and Csaba gets nothing. I pray this is not true but if it is things are even worse than I thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 So what is it then? Has a bid been accepted or is he in talks?

If you look around you will see that there are VERY few big transfers going through, because ALL clubs are feeling the credit crunch. Just look at the state Rankers are in!!! Hearts getting this cash is actually quite good although 1 million for Driver would be a joke!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
