Aye maybe but their decision making to keep him with the shite clause has led to a photo finish title race and one where we really should’ve won if it wasn’t for all the nonsense.
I actually give credit to hearts for this rather than criticise them, if that’s what it took to deliver what we did this season then it was worth it imo. Shame we didn’t get over the line but that decision to renew is a huge part of the reason we finished where we did.
Shite he’s going but his mind was obv made up last summer, if anything it’s a fucking riddy for him that he was still flashing his knickers at them and negotiating a hypothetical move for himself even when they pied him on a free transfer but that’s old firm footballers for you.
