colinzeal Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I think he comes cross quite well in his interviews, the last twice he has spoken i have not seen the arrogance that people talk of, obviously to the national media he must be on the charm offensive, but just wanted to say this. I also think Brian McLauchlin of the BBC asks him good questions and the kind of questions we would want asked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'll admit that I am one of the posters who give Pedro a hard time. I do so because he was the go between who grassed on the players and managers and he is the guy responsible for giving certain players ridiculous amounts of money per week which now means we can't shift them alledgedly. In a seperate issue I have it from an impeccable source (not involved in the bakery trade) that he is also the reason this whole stadium planning submission has taken so long. He didn't dedicate himself to the project perhaps as much as he should've because he has been busy scouring the globe trying to convince players to sign and answering his multiple phones during key meetings with planners, council officials and architects. Once again alledgedly. Other than that the guy is a top bloke who has delivered on the planning application. Now I'd like him to get his erse into gear to find us a new manager and 5 quality additions to the squad while shipping out at least 10 others. Perhaps in hindsight the reason he has been given such a hard time is because he is probably doing 3 or 4 peoples work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you have alluded to Pedro is Romanov's beeatch and at the same time as masses of things to do and cant be everywhere at once. He has dealt with a few guys at my work and they found him ok to work with and was always on the ball. Its nice to see he comes accross well in interviews. Now go and get us some new players and a manager pronto!!! ps Its nice to have some positive news today and hopefully a major step forward in the future of Hearts. Lets hope the Lid Dems play ball!!!

hmfcdoug Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Never get why people seem to get on Pedro's back everything I have seen and heard from him seems to be reasonable and people's dealings with him are positive. People moan about Romanov and Romanov Jnr never being seen or heard, at least this guys sticks his head above the parapet and represents the club well. Something some others at the club could start doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let him near anything to do with the football/players/coaching staff. His arrogance, and assurance derived from knowing he's Vlad's emissary, enable him to overstep his calling.

Ohhh most people are saying how silly it was to be talking about winning the champions league in three years and how it is not going to happen. So I guess your not happy about that. So when some other guy comes out with something realistic your not happy with that. Just what are your expectations for Hearts ?

Do you want to think big or think small you cant have it both ways and you cant moan about both either. I never believed the "Champions League" assertions in the first place (thinking TOO big). Hoping to get into Europe "nearly every year" (whatever he meant by that) is thinking TOO small. If that's the "official" ambition for the club then we're in the same position as four or five other clubs in the SPL who operate on a shoestring budget compared to us. IMO, we should be aiming to be in a close-run "ruck of three" at the end of each and every season in the league and picking up a bit of silverware, say, once in every three years. If that's not realistic, then why have a ground capacity of 23000? "Nearly every year" won't fill it and it'll be our albatross. BTW, so long as I stick to the forum rules, I'm perfectly entitled to have a moan whichever and whenever way I feel like it. In the same vein, you're perfectly entitled to disagree. On this issue, I think we'll just have to agree to disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
