HEARTS are over in Baku for what should be a showpiece European tie this evening.
But for fans 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 the Jambos 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.
He argued that because they were in the last year of their deal they'd be in danger of losing them to other clubs. Well no disrespect to the coaches but if they think they can do better than Hearts then off you pop.
My words to Naisy would have been, "Your first job in management is Hearts of Midlothian - what an opportunity that is."
