Hearts owner Vladimir Romanov has launched a vicious verbal attack on former club captain Gary Mackay, branding him a "parasite".
His outburst came after Mackay, now an agent, criticised the Lithuanian's meddling in team affairs and suggested he relinquish his control of the Tynecastle outfit.
The former fans' favourite recently stepped down as a matchday analyst for Hearts Media because he could no longer stomach Romanov's influence on playing matters.
The latest interference saw boss Jim Jefferies having to sideline Marius Zaliukas after the defender refused to sign a new contract.
That coincided with the Gorgie men crashing to a 2-0 SPL defeat against Motherwell and a 4-3 Co-operative Insurance Cup exit at Falkirk.
Romanov said: "I agree with Mr Mackay that a new owner is needed - to rescue the club from people like him and from those who live all their lives at the expense of football.
"I am tired of fighting the mafia and will be pleased to step down for someone who has the strength and hope to defeat it more than I do. Let the Great Saviour (Mackay) answer a question - has he ever bought a ticket for the game with his own money?
"I can understand his outrage. Perhaps due to the fact we have assembled a good management team he currently does not have a chance to steal players from Hearts or shove his players to the club - as parasites living at the expense of clubs begin to smell.
"A defeat at the time the club has brought together good players, has a solid pyramid of more than 60 footballers, and suddenly loses four goals, then two from weaker teams - it is a reason to start thinking that perhaps there may be a betrayal.
"We need to see if there were any of Mr Mackay's players involved in defence and how they played."
Meanwhile, Jefferies has urged his team not to resort to the long-ball game against Rangers on Saturday.
The Jambos have not won at home in the SPL since April and the boss said: "We don't want to see the ball lumped forward. That's why we play two wingers.
"You're asking them to get the ball wide and get round the back of the opposition. We don't want anything launched to Kevin Kyle from the back."

Guys like GM are parasites though, dont see whats wrong with him saying that. But the rest is nuts.

**MussiHibee** · 29-09-2010 07:25 AM

He does suggest he is willing to sell Hearts to someone else.

Obviously UKIO (Romanov) will want all there money back that they have invested.

***Mikey*** · 29-09-2010 07:31 AM

Vlad should stop FJK from playing any of the players that Mackay represents.

So that's Lee Wallace taken care of

He's probably got his fingers in several pies at the PBS. Anyone know of any other players there that he looks after?

I dont know Mikey but vlad's on the case

This is my favourite part, the man is a born diplomat

**Disc O'Dave** · 29-09-2010 07:44 AM

"The Jambos have not won at home in the SPL since April"

Yet they still come on here spoutiing pish about our home record. If anything typifies the sadness of Jambos, there you have it.

"Ha Ha, you'se are ****, and we're delerious because we are only marginally less **** at this moment in time, after being even ****ter last season"

Freaks, the lot of them.

**euro Hibby** · 29-09-2010 08:03 AM

I don't believe Vlad is a mug by any means. He is a businessman and you can be sure that he will not walk away from Tynie without money in his pocket.

He also was one of the few to come out and have a direct go at the Glasgow mafia which runs the Scottish game and his comments regards Gary Mckay are not far of the target.

Hearts were very close to winning the league and yeah maybe Vlad screwed up of George Burley - you know the giddy heights.

In the end I prefer Rod Petries approach to the game which is cautious due to the current economic crisis in the game. I would still like to here of more young players coming in and would hope that HIbs can cast their net afar to get the best from even far away places.

I think as an investment opportunity the Yams are up there with sub prime mortgages. Nobody in their right mind would pump that much money into a football club and not expect to make an enormous financial loss. Vlad is proof of this.

***bawheid*** · 29-09-2010 08:54 AM

An amazing rant from Vlad - fair cheers you up on a wet morning!

The only thing that would have improved it was to ask how many winners medals Gaz had on his mantlepiece.

That was my take on it at the first time of reading. He sounds like he's given up on Scottish football and will just let them tick over now.

I havent seen many Hearts fans blasting your home record. Ours is poor also recently.

Your overall form is rather disappointing and is never not going to attract abuse from your rivals.

The season was only 10 games old, or are you talking about this .....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCjEsN4E85s

Hmmmmm ... Can see Vlad getting in touch with the Pakistan Cricket team, could be money to be made here Vlad, ....your own players throwing games.

You obviously steer clear of the Evening News comments sections every day then (quite a clever move, in all honesty)

A more horrific collection of individuals you wont find. A complete waste of bandwidth.

I am surprised that people actually believe they would have won the league that season. Celtic would still have walked it, IMO.

**Beefster** · 29-09-2010 09:28 AM

So has McKay joined Sickbag's Most Wanted alongside Pressley? They do like trashing their legends when they stick up for the club over there.

Of course they were close to winning the League - if the season had lasted ten weeks......,

The 400,000 talk about the Burley era as if it was a Chinese Dynasty.

He was actually there for about four months.

Vladimir Romanov

No wonder he considered registering himself as a player. Certainly doesn't miss when he takes aim at his target, does he??

***EskbankHibby*** · 29-09-2010 09:34 AM

Yet another example of the gulf in class between our clubs.

Can you imagine STF ever calling Lawrie Reilly/Pat Stanton/Keith Wright a parasite in the press?

Some pretty serious revisionism going on by our pink pals incidentally. Club legend Gary MacKay, diamond geezer who trains the Hearts youngsters through the summer has turned into another traitor.

They are all absolutely terrified of raising a dissenting voice to 'Mr Romanov', the forelock tugging going on is entertaining to say the least.

Gary McKay a legend?

Even for a team like Hearts, with very few players who could be thought of as legends, surely McKay is scraping the barrel?

Finished last season how many points ahead of you? And only 3 points behind for this season. I can see how you'd be lapping it up, right enough.

Did he not win the League and Cup double in '86??

I'd forgotten about that, yes Gary is a legend, my apologies.

Not just getting at you Mussi but there's always talk of the ‘money Vlad has invested in Hearts’ but where? How much?

They spent / wasted a good few million on players but have made that back in spades from sales, albeit mostly different players. There have been debt for equity swaps that never seem to reduce the overall debt. There is the transfer of Tynie to offset debt AND still the overall debt, which the yams pay increasing interest on, is higher than its ever been!

Where is the investment?

My fag packet economics suggest something like £30m to £40m+ has been disinvested from the club.

Anyway what the madman says is absolutely true. Its just the way he tells ‘em.
