jambo2aswell Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Russian businessman German Tkachenko is to become a major shareholder in Hearts in the upcoming months. Tkachenko is an associate of Vladimir Romanov and is the former President of Krylia Sovetov. Romanov/UBIG will remain at Hearts in an off field sense, holding the debt while receiving the benefits of commercial activity through the development of the new stand which they will fund. Tkachenko will use his ProSports Management agency to bring in and sell players. Expect an announcement at the AGM, which has been delayed as a result.

Statto Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 If this was displayed on more than a rumour website or JKB, this is something we could get excited about, 2 owners, 1 that provides the stadium (Romanov) and 1 that does what Romanov is meant to be doing just now (player transfers etc).

Commander Harris Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Russian businessman German Tkachenko is to become a major shareholder in Hearts in the upcoming months.

Tkachenko will use his ProSports Management agency to bring in and sell players. Expect an announcement at the AGM, which has been delayed as a result. It's not implausible. Certainly doesn't mean it's true but it is plausible enough. Romanov and Tkachenko are close, although that could be why his name has been plucked out to make it look plausible. It's probably a pretty decent effort at a wind up, but it could be something more. Would be a positive move IMO - but knowing "football rumours" I'll take it with a very large pinch of salt.

jamboinglasgow Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 from the sounds of it, if true it would be the ideal situation, Romanov stays to run off-field matters (which he has done really well with) while a different guy is in charge of everything else but mainly the football and has good contacts for good players. This is the rumour I would love to be true but have learnt never to follow anything from that site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deevers Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 When is the AGM supposed to be? Would love some sort of development like this, but footy rumours site.....come on! The AGM was supposed to be at the end of February as per Pedro Lopez. Something appears to be holding that up and it would not surprise me one bit of Romanov was looking for a financial partner to push through his plans for Hearts. This is about the only rumour I've heard over the past six months that appears in the least plausible. If it is the case there should be an announcement imminently.

Colonel Kurtz Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Well that rules out Mourinho as manager,as old German was instrumental in his departure.

Jammy T Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 This guy has great players on his books The knee jerk reaction is that this sounds like a positive option (based upon any truth in the rumour) However, where essentially an agent becomes a shareholder in a football club we are staring down the barrel of a very unstable football team with pressure on his players being shoehorned into the team and a quick 6 to 12 month turn around of players. I'm not sure such a strategy would be good for the footballing side of the club. I dont doubt it would increase the wealth of at least 2 people. It would have to be very carefully managed and to date Vlad has not been capable of careful management Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have to be very carefully managed and to date Vlad has not been capable of careful management My thoughts also. Anyway, I'm not actually sure if a registered Agent can own shares in a Club. I imagine this would contravine FIFA/UEFA rules. IIRC, Murdo Mackay had to give up his Agents License when he became Derby county DOF. And Gordon Smith also had to give his License up when he took on his role at the SFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo83 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Didn't Romanov, Vlad or Roman, once say that they would welcome investment from other sources? Yes, I was at the meeting in the Gorgie Suite. Romanov Jnr said something along the lines of: "It is not Vladimir Romanov's intention to always have the majority shareholding in Hearts. He needs to have this just now to put his plans in motion. After the first phase of the plan we will look to attract some investment from other sources to build on our plans" Perhaps this is it...
