Hearts players face another wage delay

 

Hearts players are unlikely to be paid their monthly salary on Friday as scheduled.

 

Board members told the squad that UBIG, the Lithuanian bank owned by majority shareholder Vladimir Romanov, was still trying to secure the required funds.

 

Players officially complained to the Scottish Premier League in December, following three consecutive and substantial delays in monthly payments.

 

However, the club avoided threatened sanctions from the SPL.

 

Wages arrived late in January, but only by one day, and the league chose not to follow up with a charge of "failing to behave with the utmost good faith to the SPL."

 

There's been a disgraceful lack of lols in this story recently

Indeed the other thread is in danger of overtaking this one.

Still with all the hysteria about the Rangers situation not sure if it is a good or bad time for Hearts to renegade on wages again

 

Did you type this on your phone?

 

I take it you meant renegue or renege. (same word)

 

We could do with Hearts going into administration. We'd be in line for the top 6 cup.

They are owed £0 by Rangers at this time.

 

Oh I thought they were owed money from the Wallace sale. Was there not something in January that Hearts were willing to accept £700k and write off the remaining £300k in order to at least get some payment?

Manager Paulo Sergio leaves Hearts after rejecting deal

 

Hearts have announced that they have parted company with Paulo Sergio, their Portuguese manager.

 

Sergio, who led Hearts to Scottish Cup success in May, said he could not accept the offer made to him to stay.

 

A statement on Hearts' website said: "The club had been hopeful recent negotiations with Sergio would have a successful conclusion but he has opted not to extend his stay at Tynecastle."

 

First-team coach Gary Locke will remain at the Edinburgh club.

 

Hearts say they have begun to look for a replacement for Sergio, 44, who took over from Jim Jefferies after his sacking in August 2011.

 

One of the main contenders is thought to be another Portuguese manager, Jose Couceiro.

Wins cup, leaves. Must be dough.

 

According to Hearts fans at work its a combination of that and him being told he would not be getting any cash to replace players who are leaving.

Let's be honest, no manager worth their salt would manage up here these days.

 

Shite teams, shite players, shite league. Not much cop on the old CV...

 

Only reason one would stay is for relatively silly money.

 

:(
