Shamelessly pinched from over the road. This made me smile.........
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...
C'mon Vlad, start taking more of an interest in Hearts again please :greengrin
