Yams put Hartley move on hold; "Sir Paul" signs for Sheep instead (merged)

***Hibbyradge*** · 19-07-2010 03:19 PM

Those of you who were looking forward to dusting off the old Paul Hartley song sheets might be in for a bit of a disappointment.

Hearts must offload urgently to service their debt and I understand that the injuries to Driver and Wallace may have put paid them being sold in this window. Therefore, the Hartley move is in serious jeopardy.

Also, and I tend to think this is the main reason for their procrastination, is that more trialists are being forced on Jeffries with a view to a cheap fix. Jeffries is not a happy bunny cos he was told things had changed, but they clearly haven't.

Aberdeen, and not Hibs, are monitoring the situation.

Source? Someone close to Lee Wallace who he hasn't threatened with a gun.

Where are Aberdeen suddenly finding money from?. Monitoring the Hartley situation and quoted on SSN with an interest in Lee Hendrie who although on a free wouldn't come cheap I would have thought

***matty_f*** · 19-07-2010 03:32 PM

He's pish anyway.

I saw Hendrie a few times a couple of seasons ago, he was on loan at Blackpool. He's finished, Aberdeen are about his level these days.

According to brokeback, there is a press conference at the pbs at 4 or 5'oclock today!

I reckon if they sign him, it will be just like when they re signed McCann. Both of them were verminous little weasels when they were at hearts, they moved to England and the OF then returned to *********** to pick up a wage and spend time on the physios table and subs bench!

I presume the guy will be expecting to be paid some wages though? - or maybe he just intends to make a charitable contribution to help out a club in crisis?!

No but not being offered massive wages either. If he is desperate to ruturn to spl he will take a pay cut!

I heard the sticking point was personal terms.

Something about him wanting to replace the wallpaper and curtains in the players lounge. Apparently Calum Elliot isn't too pleased.

If he's desperate to return to the SPL, wouldn't he be better joining a proper club?

If it's a straight choice between Hearts and Aberdeen I wouldn't fancy your chances.

Thats up to him, OP suggesting deal cant be done unless players are sold. Killie just turned down an offer of £450,000 for Bryson, so I dont think that is the case at all!

Don't you get it?

Hearts are a super dooper mega massive club where all the famous players from around the world want to play.

Hearts are far too big to be paying wages to anyone. Players go for the sheer honour of playing for such a proud, grand and well run club.

I think that is a lets appease the fans with a bid that wont be accepted, but we will pull the wool over all the believers eyes with it anyway.

How did the press conference go?

Whether or not Hartley is on a free, and I'm not convinced he is, he will expect a signing on fee and a decent salary.

The ability of Hearts to pay wages, already in doubt, will be seriously undermined if Hearts don't get the debt down urgently.

I wonder why he's not signed yet.

That's hilarious on several levels, e.g.

1. HOMFC offered £450k.

2 Killie turned it down.

3. You believe 1 & 2.

**sixtwo** · 19-07-2010 05:04 PM

£450,000 bid which probably consisted of a payment plan similar to the one they agreed for the bosnian bullet. Initial payment of nowt followed by 4 equal payments of nowt!
I think they eventually paid some of the cash after the selling club threatened to take hearts to court for failling to pay.

They are a disgusting, embarrassment to Scottish football!

Same terms as Arbroath

**~~Toaods~~** · 19-07-2010 05:10 PM

For £450,000.00 you could have the entire debt-ridden club....to believe those spendthrifts made such a bid for an injury prone low scoring striker and it was rejected is plain lunacy.
