    OK I will be the one to ask

    Why would Hearts add to their wage bill at a time they are supposed to be reducing it? It makes no sense but I suppose it is the Hearts.

    It's maybe a sign that Romanov has changed his mind, with the huns in the **** and the yams in the QF if the cup with a favourable draw. We have to remember the man is a lunatic and probably changes his mind on an hourly basis after his rabbit talks to him.

    And why would anybody want to sign for them when the chances of them being paid are probably 50-50 at best?

    Vlad is certainly Mad and either his threat to withdraw financial support has been one big con (no surprise) or he really doesn't know if he is going for a 5h1te or a haircut

    Or he's actually got money and just can't be arsed moving it about.

    If i was Beattie, I'd be wanting my salary until the close season, up front. In my bank account, within 24hrs of signing.

    The likelier explanation is he's given them enough funding to get through to the end of the season. The cup run has given them a bit more headroom to sign a player short-term. After the season, who knows?

    Could be he's got his eye on that 2nd Champions League spot. Good chance that the huns won't be allowed to play in Europe, even if they secure 2nd place.

    That's a reasonable explanation. There's a fair chance that Rangers won't be eligible for European competitions next season so the second place in the Champions' League qualifiers could be up for grabs. In Vlad's mind the dreams of Euro domination have reawakened. After the inevitable flop it'll be back to the previous plan.

    He certainly has a yammish look about him. His lugs alone would score 10 goals a season!

    What I can tell you is that Mad Vald is having a meeting with the SPL re investing back into Hearts.

    you could not make it up !!

    Why would the SPL be interested?

    There is a good chance Hearts wont be able to participate either IIRC? Not signing off your accounts?

    I'd agree.

    One thing I can't understand is why he'd waste that money on a jug eared phanny who hasn't even scored 1 goal in every 5 games and is constantly injured.

    Good work Vlad, I look forward to the next set of accounts as this latest year is yet another shocker.

    It was also reported in Der Sun today that they have lost a case against one of their young players who they let go. They now have to pay the lad £70,000 to cover the rest of his contract.

    Looks like the deal has been done, maybe just to upset Shiels again!

    Decent signing but I said the same about John Sutton and that never turned out well.

  25. #24
    Yep, strange they would offload Sutton on loan to save paying his wages and then bring CB in who must be on similar terms?

    He's scored about 30 goals in about 7 seasons as a professional. Some of which were with Celtic FFS. On paper at least, Sutton was a much better signing.

    That is the unanswered question, it just doesn't make sense to sign for that lot considering their recent history with wages, players etc.

    No one in their right mind but then again greed is a powerful thing. All the best con men rely on greed to ensure that the £££signs block the mark's vision ....... or something like that.
