The generic Hearts thread

**Since452** · 22-06-2020 05:48 AM

Had a mental dream last night that Hearts appointed Robbie Neilson haha. Hearts are such a basket case you wouldn't put anything past them. That's maybe too far though.

**Fuzzywuzzy** · 22-06-2020 06:00 AM

Why the **** would Utd do business with them?

‪I’m not expecting any replies as I just needed to get this down to get my head around it:
Hearts:‬
‪We’re 2nd in the league but a banner-carrying plane protest convinced us Neilson is pish!‬
‪We had the right man all along)‬ ‪Naw, yiz are right again Levein is pants‬
‪Stendal is better than J Ross‬ ‪(even though Hibs are in the top six and we are rock bottom 4 points adrift)‬
We’ve wasted £10m of fans money and JA’s money on 100 dud players
The new stand is unfinished, not fit for purpose and well over budget
We ruined a brand new £1m pitch
‪Stendal Might have to go home‬‪ (we’ll just continue to pay for 3 managers and their staff till he agrees to forfeit his wages)‬
‪We’re skint: 50% wage cut or clause 12 invoked‬
‪No we didn’t give players an ultimatum...but we reserve the right to use c12‬
‪Calling all agents: we’re loaded‬
If we are relegated we will take all youse down anaw
Better vote for reconstruction or we will burn you all!
Nae messing, were too big for the championship you’re all corrupt and only looking after yourselves
We need compo cos we’re skint - Naw, we’re really loaded
We need £8m to survive in the championship
Dundee Utd, we named you in court papers but, can we have Neilson back cos we changed our minds and we think he’s really great?
We know we put our bank details up for money directly, cos we’re desperate, but we’re offering £200, 000(?) a year to Robbie
Budge is an awesome CEO right!?

That pretty much sums it up. Budgie has had a shocker of a lockdown. Must have obliterated the drinks cabinet on a daily basis.

Have absolutely no idea why he would go back there at all, never mind at this time. What bull**** has she promised him? What is he thinking?

Utterly disrespectful to Dundee Utd at a time Hearts are dragging their name into the courts which suggest he is a perfect fit for this unscrupulous club.

Pretty poor from Neilson after them giving him a job when others wouldn't, giving him a disproportionate budget to other teams in the championship and supporting him to the title. Was on the radio last week or so talking about looking forward to new league campaign.with united. Obviously money driven but doesn't imo show him in a good light.

Disagree. In football a manager is the most expendable employee at a club. He could have stayed at Dundee Utd, lost a couple of games at the start of next season and be sacked by September. There is never any loyalty from clubs so they should not expect it from managers. When a better deal comes along then you are best to take it, so long as it’s the right place for you to work.

Probably got a good wedge from hearts to pay off his contract and United appoint someone on a lower salary, every penny is a prisoner it seems.

**allezsauzee** · 22-06-2020 07:08 AM

I for one am delighted that Hearts are spending their money on a manager on compensation to secure a manager that a sizable proportion of their support decided they didn't want 4 years ago.

**Marco G** · 22-06-2020 07:08 AM

Noticed in today's news in the know Barry Anderson talks about Neilson taking over after Hearts relegation and how he will relish the chance to get them out of the Championship. Sounds like Hearts are going to pull the plug on their court bid???

Goodbye friends and friends, this was your Daniel.

**Skol** · 22-06-2020 07:19 AM

Have they agreed and paid terms for their former manager yet.

Their contract with him was automatically voided when they were relegated.

**Skol** · 22-06-2020 07:57 AM

I mean compensation to Barnsley

**~~EI255~~** · 22-06-2020 08:03 AM

Neilson back, trying to get Craig Gordon back, probably go for The big nosed Czech too..... there's only one way this is heading hahaha

Whether they do or not, Hearts are playing in the championship. The court has no power to force reconstruction so the best they can hope for is compensation.

That’s not strictly true.

It is highly unlikely to be successful but they are asking the court to change the resolution that was passed to remove the relegation and promotions.

Yeah and then he claimed post match that it wasn’t a big deal because it would have been expensive for the club to travel to Russia for their tie in the next round. I’m not sure his comments were much comfort for the Hearts fans who had already booked flights, visas and accommodation though.

So the exact opposite of a money-spinning replay?

Is it automatically reinstated if they manage to stay in the premier is the question

It wasn't an automatic release AIUI. It was an option for either side to break the contract. That option has now been taken up.

Dundee United would fall apart if that happened. So much for doing no harm.

Ok i may have misunrstood his agent who mentioned that because of relegation it terminated his contract however if hearts stayed up he would still have one. That was on the radio a while back.

I don’t think so. I’m not sure what place on the page they are on, but some of them are talking about reconstruction being announced this week.

It’s a no brainier from Neilson’s point of view. He’ll probably be on better money than at Dundee Utd and get more to spend.

He’ll also be confident that if they do have to play in the Championship it’ll only be for a season.

Hopefully it’ll go belly-up though!

Guys on Twitter saying Davie Weir as sporting director.

Would that be a good move on their part?

I guess anyone would be better than Levein.

hearts are a bigger club than Dundee United. They’re a basket case, but they’re still a bigger club, located in one of the most beautiful cities on earth.

Not really hard to see why he’s gone back.

aa much as we hate them surely we can admit to that.
