The SSN editors and/or managerial staff have been infested in recent times because their constant slant on our club over the past few months has appeared to be very anti-Rangers. They were really going to town with the "new Rangers" and "new club" patter.

 

Yeh, even spotted one time when they changed Jim White's name to James Whyte and he had a greenish tie on.

but we're only a wee diddy 3rd Div side.....

If our manager can get us playing 4 at the back and something vaguely resembling football then beating the ******** in the cups at Ibrox/Hampden shouldn't be that unthinkable if we have a bit of flair from templeton and Sheils

Not one to talk about conspiracy theories or anything but from what I've seen SSN have nobody covering us yet have someone covering the bheasts shite signings.

 

Oh and Maurice Edu was described as a forward earlier in the news update bar. I took a screenshot because I couldn't believe they went ahead with this

 

must have been some sales pitch from ally!

McGowan first went to harthill out of respect but going to Murray park was not out of respect, hearts have told him if he doesn't join us then he has to sign a new contract so they can sell him for more or risk being frozen out!! Before he went through his mind wasn't made up yet and that is still the case, money ain't an issue to but international ambitions are huge to him

 

litte bit more info.

When's the SFL deadline over?

 

This has been a weak deadline for football in general, I just don't hope we follow suit!

I would just like to thank everyone at rangers involved in bringing David Templeton, one of Scotlands young promising footballers to our football club!

 

Thanks to all involved now let's build a team to go out and win every game no matter who we face

[Jim1955 12]

Yeah, I think we showed ambition, and given our position more ambition than any other Scots club.

Club must always come first

 

01.09.2012

Hearts today reasserted the strategy for the club in light of the close of the transfer window in which the club secured one of its most promising young players while moving closer to securing another of its key Academy graduates.

 

Business was also concluded which saw one senior squad player depart and one return.

 

A club spokesperson said: "We appreciate the supporters' sad feelings at the departure of one of our top players. We would like to bring some light into the situation to show it was a clear and reasonable decision by Hearts.

 

"We need to admit we are not completely satisfied with the offer but it was the best available offer and other clubs were just waiting to get Templeton for free in January.

 

"We had lengthy negotiations and Rangers improved their offer several times until finally we agreed terms. Templeton was desperate to leave Hearts for any club offering big money and his contract was running out in May 2013.

 

"We did not want to sell him but there was no reason to keep him as his mind and heart was not with Hearts and in January he could sign a pre-contract and walk for free in summer.

 

"Rangers were the only club where this option was not available due to a transfer ban, so they offered money for Templeton. All other clubs were sitting in the bushes to take him free in January.

 

"The club put a huge amount of effort into keeping Templeton at Tynecastle, spending many months trying to find an agreement. Twelve months of discussions and negotiations since the start of 2011-12 season did not help. He has rejected every one of our offers completely, regardless of terms.

 

"After last January he switched off completely after the club rejected a laughable offer from a minor Championship club. Paulo Sergio had many issues with the player's attitude and did not include him for Scottish Cup Final squad for the lack of focus and determination.

 

"We believe the decision of the club was right in the circumstance and has brought money to the club where Templeton was a big risk to keep in both football and financial terms.

 

"Ryan McGowan's story is different. The player has declared he wants to stay at Hearts. We praise his decision. We hope he will show his commitment by putting pen to paper to sign a new deal with the club in the next couple of days in evidence of his declarations.

 

"Callum Paterson is the example of commitment and a true Jambo. Despite active interest from Rangers, the boy immediately committed to a new deal the club offered him in an effort to keep best young talent at the club.

 

"Hearts always seeks to keep good players at the club and make business only when the terms are for the benefit of the club and a good replacement is available. This is not always possible due to activities of greedy agents and circumstances as above. We remain focused to keeping our best players at the club.

 

"But we will never compromise and risk keeping someone not interested in the future of the club and seeking just money as their only motivator.

 

"Our aim is to have a squad of players who are strongly committed to the club and fight for the jersey and for the supporters in the stands. Only such a team can bring success and enjoyment to the people".
