Magnoem Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Either I missed something, or nobody really brought this up. It's not exactly Hearts related but rather related to the owner who is losing the plot again. This week Mad Vlad has sacked almost the whole management in his basketball club Zalgiris Kaunas - head coach, director of sport, general director. Since the club had recently done well to reach Euroleague (basketball equivalent of CL) TOP16, this shocked everyone in the club and fans, especially those who were not aware of his football activities. The sacked director sport gave a honest interview (see Google translated version here and this caused a media frenzy in Lithuania. The director mentioned that Vlad had given specific instructions to the coach who to play and when. And this resulted in a shock defeat to a minnow club (which ironically was also one of the reasons for the sackings). On top of that, Vlad came to trainings and encouraged players to practice boxing... In response Vlad gave at least two traditionally baffling and ridiculous interviews, to the tune of poor results and needing to give more chances to young players. And recently it was reported he started practicing basketball himself. Good luck to Hearts, you'll need it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin_T Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Vlad can appoint an in-animate carbon rod as manager of his basketball team and start his wee 5ft 4" self as a point guard in their next game for all I care....as long as he leaves well alone from this type of insanity at HMFC.

Vlad might be even more mad than people could imagine. On the other hand, it's good for Hearts that he is so involved in basketball but unfortunately, some time later he might turn his attention to football just for a change...

Fraggle Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Thats sounds so surreal it couldn't be true, had we not have seen it with our own eyes at Hearts!!

Gambo Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I too was wondering where all the Mr Romanov apologists had dissapeared to. Maybe there is not a lot for them to say just now, maybe they are happy with the appointment of JJ and the way VR has allowed the manager to manage a football club unlike some who have to find some story about another sport (no offence to the thread starter) to get the kleenex out again.
