I'm not sure, I did read that Hartley was content in taking a fairly sizeable pay cut to go to Hearts, and I don't think they're offering a great deal more than us if at all - Radio Scotland reported that we actually offered Kyle more than he signed for Hearts.
Either way, it's a bit of a coup in the sense that we weren't really expecting a signing like this.
I'm feeling slightly more comfortable about the season starting now, but another signing of this nature would certainly be most welcome...
