Hearts are in Baku for what should be a showpiece European tie this evening. But unfortunately for supporters locked out of the clash with Dinamo Minsk the game is being overshadowed by matters closer to home as the club continue the search for a new manager.
Where Hearts turn next is anyone’s guess but one thing’s for sure - the pressure is on the Tynecastle hierarchy to get this one right after blundering their way through the last few months.
Fair play to CEO Andrew McKinlay for addressing punters after sacking Steven Naismith. But I’m afraid all his statement said was ‘don’t blame me’.
And that’s not good enough. McKinlay basically claimed Hearts were held to ransom by Naismith and his coaching staff when explaining the new deals they were handed 44 days before being given their P45s.
