Acceptance of this offer will see the club move from strength to strength under the same management and with a simplification of ownership and increased commitment. |
Craig Gordon is worth many millions of pounds. He is the established first-choice 'keeper for his country, has done brilliantly for Hearts and we are not in the business of selling our best players. He is a big part of our plans as we try to keep progressing and it would take a substantial offer, of the order of around £5million, to even make us consider selling. |
Diplomatic skills are required to work with an owner like Vladimir, but I think there will be a queue of top-class coaches coming forward now. |
George Burley was very keen to keep him as he regards him as an integral part of his side. |
He seemed like a savior and I supported him but I must say I'm totally disillusioned now, |

I brought in Vladimir Romanov and I am very much regretting that now, ... Phil Anderton has only been there six months and done a very good job -- ask anyone in Edinburgh, ask anyone in Scotland. |
I can understand their bewilderment, |
I have no objection to that at all. It's not a great day for Hearts but I can't give the fans an explanation of the circumstances of the parting of company. I can't say any more because of confidentiality agreements. |
I would argue that anyone in his position, who is planning to invest huge amounts of money in further player acquisitions in January and the development of the ground, would want the comfort of being in control. |
I wouldn't be surprised if he was having second thoughts, |
I'm still regretting that we were bounced into sacking George Burley, ... I think that was a very big mistake. I know Bobby Robson was lined up as one of the front-runners but I wouldn't be surprised if he was having second thoughts. |
I'm still regretting that we were bounced into sacking George Burley. I think that was a very big mistake, |
I've still kept my season ticket and I'm going to be there on Saturday, |
