I have to say I really like the noises this guy is making. I wasn't too keen on his appointment, but after hearing what he has been saying I'm feeliing more and more hopeful about the new season. Changes do have to be made though, in Belfast and at East End Park we were absolutely dreadful, the Lithuanians and Michael Stewart especially. These players need to go, they are simply not good enough for our club.

The trouble is that currently, Hearts, Hibs, Aberdeen, Dundee Utd etc all lack basic quality, regardless of how "lazy" their players may / may not be. The Hearts side of 3 years ago that ran the Old Firm very close had far more quality in it (Hartley, Gordon etc), than the current one has. Simple as that. The money isn't there to compete with the Old Firm, never mind against far better teams than the Old Firm in Europe. i, as a Celtic fan, would appreciate a more competitive SPL, (it would be easier to take if Dundee Utd nicked a title off us than Rangers!) The problem is that there just isn't enough money in Scottish football in general to compete with teams from leagues in England, Spain, Italy, Germany, France. Look at the cut price, budget signings both sides of the Old Firm have been making the last few seasons. it's depressing.

I dont tend to follow the SPL very closely, but i get the feeling hearts are the laughing stock of this league, their loyal fans deserve more!

Laszlo has got one thing worng: "Vlad has put lots of money into this club" He borrowed that money (from his own bank) and saddled Hearts with even larger debts than when he took over the club. And will Vlad let Laszlo sack all the usueless lazy Lithuanians? Doubt it, it'll be the jocks that get sacked increasing resentment and undermining unity. Will jambos be a soap opera again this year?

This guy appears to be making all the right noises and he ceratinly comes across as if he has the attributes to make a difference at Hearts - if he's allowed to.

There's an article today on the BBC site where he's talking about "wanting hungry players, not nice guys" and how "under-achieving players have been, in the past, rewarded".
That's the talk you want to be hearing from a manager - especially a new one who is coming in after a disappointing season.

He comes across as positive in what he wants to do so if he can keep your mad owner sweet I think this guy could do a good job for you.

I like the music this guy plays - and he is right. There are way to many big heads in football. The ego has well and truly landed.

If everyone with a professional contract had a professional attitude and a hunger like this man has, then there would be a huge growth in the number of improving Scottish talent on show at each and every club in the land.

This article should be on the locker room dors at every aspiring club in Scotland and it might just cause the game to improve.


Good luck Jambos, it might be a blessing to know my brothers are not crying week after week as you continue to falter and they are feeling more and more marooned amid the mediocrity.
