Cifuentes, as you may recall, was interviewed for the Hearts job before Naismith got it. I remember thinking what a big coup it would be if they got him. They went for Naismith, sliding doors moment.
Now, if this is true, then wow. Again, another coup for Hearts if they could have got him, and if (as is to be believed) they've gone for Neil Critchley instead, then I'd be livid if I was a Hearts fan.
