All part of the Hertz spin that dumping practically their whole first team is part of some grand masterplan.

With them going down the pan, why would they care about promoting some boy?

[ballengeich]

A promotion! It's the chance for the lucky man to take out a bigger mortgage and buy that dream house, new car, .... - eh maybe not.

[Broken Gnome]

Is this finally the unveiling of the incognito one?

[Andy74]

Mental.

[Beefster]

If you can't pay folk, keep them sweet with a promotion (that they won't get paid for).

Big team employee relations management 101.

I thought there was a media blackout still in place

Which is very unfortunate. Hopefully after the 2nd

So Vlad says the future of Hearts is going to be binning the first team and promoting the youth team and he then promotes the youth team manager to a higher profile more senior position that'll be in charge of transfers?

Whats the chances Sergio will be punted shortly, this guy gets the 'caretaker job' before getting the gig full time while the club sell the idea as he was highly regarded with the players before and the natural replacement to work with the players and help develop them from youth team to first team?

Obviously all guesswork but i can't see any other reason to promote someone to be in charge of transfers at a time when they say they can't afford the current players wages and a few weeks after they say they're going to be relying on youth.

Would seem to be a very realistic possibillity. Quite accurate. Watch this space

[Peevemor]

Gary McCock's not impressed.

We’ve now got somebody who runs the Youth Academy being put in charge of all contractual negotiations – what a nonsense.

I would say it`s almost a certainty that Hearts` next manager will be Gary Locke.

Wouldn't think so - I don't think they can afford him.

I know you were being serious but reading that still made me laugh.

At no cost to himself, Vlad is creating the illusion of a longer term plan so that the believers cough up for half season tickets.

There's some hilarious ranting by "fans" at the bottom of the article, please please somebody sign these muppets up for a new series of The Comedians

You'd feel sorry for him if there was no indication that HMFC are as disfunctional as they are. However, even passing curiosity in his current employers before he took the job would have confirmed that it is no place to try to be a serious football manager.

Not that we're much better but we are at least predictable: just get nervous round the AGM time...

Fingers crossed.

That trumpet in charge of a team of young laddies, with all the older players gone and a ten point deduction has relegation written all over it.

Excellent

Cocke taking Hearts down would be absolutely ****ing tremendous. He's meant to be daft as **** as well so it would be amazing

[TowerHibs]

John Murray is actually a top bloke and his football knowledge is different class!

I thought we might have got him in to replace John Park a few years ago! However as director of football is a bloody strange one!!! Don't think he is the man to do transfers or contracts negotiations!

[Jack]

It has a ring to me that its a fake post to keep him at the club and happy. After all what transfers are going to happen? Certainly none going in, out they'll be taking whatever they can. His biggest attribute will be talking up the youngsters and dealing with them.

I just wish they would go, its like watching someone being ripped to shreds by piranhas in slow motion.

[CyberSauzee]

Ide Amin once promoted all of his army up one rank.
So this weekend we'll see 10 captains and 1 coach take the field.
That of course promotes Vlad to Captain of the Fleet. Watch out for the icebergs.

[SMAXXA]

I found the following quote quite interesting "The transition though, has to be carefully managed and the work of Darren Murray, Gary Locke and the manager"

Maybe reading too much into it but feel this was very generic, Paulo on a shoogly????
