Insane Hearts Appointment


You can practically hear the chanting now.

Having sacked a manager who had led an unbeaten side to the top of the league, beating Rangers and drawing at Celtic Park in the process as well as sacking his chief executive and losing his chairman, Hearts de facto owner Vladimir Romanov has delivered on his promise to bring in a world class name as the new man in charge.

Except he totally hasn’t. Having installed his son Roman (34, looks 12) as the new chairman and Chief Exec, they have given the first team reigns to former Chelsea coach Graham Rix, a convicted sex offender recently sacked by Oxford United for being rubbish.

The jokes about who will be appointed Director of Football are rife already. Ian Huntley? Ian Brady? The Yorkshire Ripper?

And people say the SPL isn’t entertaining.
