So, from a brief report of the Heart of Midlothian AGM I read in the News I see the end is nigh!One important point is the clear implication that Stephen Frail will be the full time manager from next season. The suggestion that an experienced 'British' man would be found is pushed aside with comments regarding "The reality is that to find a manager is very difficult, most managers are already out of work or ready to jump from the clubs they are working with and seeking profit."
"If you find me a manager who won't do that then fine but give a chance to our guy Stephen Frail who is already at the club." In other words there is no new man, the cheap option prevails. Now Frail is a good guy but not a man capable of running this club, or indeed any club at this level. He remains there simply because he lets Vlad pick the team. A proper manager would not!
The needless tirade against the Scottish League is just a poor attempt to divert attention from Vlads failings. Sure the OF dominate and heavily influence things but that would not stop a properly funded team taking the title. We are all well aware of the referees who lean towards the bigot brothers, but that would not stop any side, properly financed and managed, winning the league. Burley could have done it, Vlad ruined it! Vlad junior should stop reading other peoples scripts and write his own speeches, preferably his resignation!
Absurd is the word for his reaction to the debt. "Romanov continually brushed off questions and asked how he planned to wipe out the club's increasing debt the clearly frustrated chairman retorted: "by selling players for £9 million." Who is the next I ask? Neilson? Maybe Nade will run to leave for a big fee, if he actually can 'run?' They either have no answer to the debt or do not care. Maybe it is time the Scottish Premier League or the Scottish Football Association moved in?
We have it clearly before us. Vlad either has no idea what to do or has not concern. Sure without him the club would have come close to extinction, sure we had a great start under Burley, but what is much more sure is the fact that we have absolutely no idea what will happen now.
I despair now. I am sorry to say this but the end is nigh.

The last time I felt so low about our beloved team was in 1981 when we were relegated for the third time in four seasons. There seemed no hope until Wallace Mercer rode into town on his white horse.
The Romanov regime has turned Hearts into a laughing stock as today's AGM proved. Anyone with real talent has left the club in the last couple of years - Burley, Anderton, Pressley, Skacel, Webster, Hartley, Gordon, Bednar, Fyssas...I could go on.
I'm not going back to Tynecastle this season and I may not be back at all next season.
The Heart of Midlothian I began following in 1968 is no longer the club I may well stop following in 2008...
