Graham Rix has now been officially appointed as the new Hearts head coach. What do folk think? I can't understand what Romanov is playing at. Even if the guy has served his time etc, it will only do harm to Hearts reputation. I cringe to think about some of the songs that are going to be sung at him. Even English non-league Crawley Town wouldn't give him a job last week!

Just another day at Romanov's Tynecastle.

What next - the Hell's Angels doing the stewarding?
Shirt sponsorship by the Scottish Tories?

As for the appointment, well Rix will be a yes man, he dosen't have any other options, and will allow Romanov to buy the players he wants.

It could be rather embarassing for fathers who take their daughters to matches!

This one is going to come back and haunt them.

Certain sections of the hibs support are going to have a ball with this one.

I think the only thing that may save them is if they appoint a really high profile 'Director of Sport'. Someone who would take all the media attention away from Rix. I can see this post remaining open for some time though, so that Vlad can work as acting-DoS with Rix (as you say Abieuan) a yes man.

I think there is special discompensation for sheep in the NE Laughing .

Latest news seems to be that Craig Brown is being lined up as Director of Fitba. Again, can't say he's someone I'd like to be involved with my club, but I suppose he does have a lot of contacts etc in the game.
