By Angus Wright
NEW Hearts manager Csaba Laszlo will get the first look at his team in action tonight, but he already understands the importance of keeping hold of Christophe Berra and Andrew Driver.
Hearts rejected a £1.5 million offer from Wolves for Berra this summer, and turned down two Burnley bids for Driver. Skipper Berra, 23, made his Scotland debut against the Czech Republic in May while 20-year-old Driver netted five goals in an injury-
disrupted season.

Hearts play Glentoran in a Belfast friendly tonight, when their Romanian-born manager will get the chance to see the pair in action, and he is eager for majority shareholder Vladimir Romanov to resist any further bids for the youngsters, with Celtic manager Gordon Strachan also reportedly keen on defender Berra. "It is most important to keep players like Christophe Berra and Andrew Driver," Laszlo said. "They have quality. But there is time to develop them and I can give them the right direction.

"It can be easy for a lot of players to smile at money and go to a new club but they shouldn't believe life is so easy.

"The players can develop here, play good games and gain confidence and grow more. After some years maybe they can then choose bigger clubs. But my intention is to keep these players."

Meanwhile, former Germany captain Lothar Matthaus voiced concern over the weekend at the appointment of Laszlo,

who was assistant to Matthaus during a two-year spell with Hungarian club Ferencvaros.

Laszlo was appointed as successor to Stephen Frail by Tynecastle majority shareholder Vladimir Romanov on Friday, but the former Bayern Munich and Inter Milan midfielder is shocked by the decision.

"What? Are you joking with me?" said Matthaus. "Congratulations to him, but I can't believe this has happened. He is an assistant manager and would be good in that role, but not as manager. I don't think he has the personality to be a No1, but I also think he doesn't have the experience. There are many things he doesn't have for this kind of job.

"He was manager of Ferencvaros, but I helped him. They had wanted me as their head coach, but it wasn't possible so I gave them Laszlo while I helped him in the background. Time will tell if Hearts have made the wrong choice. I am very surprised."

Your post on a rangers thread

So you posted on here before your own team. Looks like I'm forking out for another Hearts top for another closet Jambo...do you want the home or away one? You'll have to pay for the season ticket yourself though. Still plenty left so no rush.

See the manky Weegie is first on the Hearts thread yet again....Shittu has turned down Rangers offer....old Murrays getting tight with wages...or could it be the guy doesnt want to be associated with Scotlands Shame team?

Matthaus is an "eleven men behind the ball" believer. Already watched this guff tactic last season so I'm glad he didn't get appointed. As for Csaba's appointment...sheesh......I haven't got a clue what to think. I'm extremely disappointed Vlad didn't make true on his promise to bring in a British manager. After McGhee said no it seemed to put him off everyone in the UK.
I really hope Hearts hang on to Driver and Berra but if any of them do get sold I'd hope we'd send them south rather than the common trip along the M8.

I wouldnt say im very disapointed in Csaba, ill give the man a chance, have heard his interviews on Hearts World, he seems like a decent bloke, has his head screwed on and knows what he wants. Get the impression he's a disciplinarian, which is exactly whats needed and been lacking.

As for Berra and driver, neither will be making any trip along the M8, not directly from Hearts anyway...Vlad will not sell to the Infirm unless they table a massive offer too good to turn down. And theres no way Rangers can afford eiher of them, they couldnt afford shittus wages....major money problems at Ibrox perhaps?

Der Kaiser,

14/07/2008 01:23:11
#7 I get the same impressions, that he's a bit of a disciplinarian as you say. My disappointment was that our new boss was not British. As for whether Csaba will prove to be an astute move, time and results will ultimately tell. Just have to wait and see I suppose.

Your "Denes Rosa news". Is this a rumour? Prediction?

Had a look at his stats online. Former Ferencvaros player (surprisingly) but looks like he's had a tough time with injuries over the last few years. Not played a lot of games which would be worrying.

Strong Rumour m8. And yeah he was with Ferencvaros when csaba was manager. Seemingly Hoddle rated him highly and took him to Wolves. Then McArthy came on and didnt like him, at 31 and if hes a bit injury prone lets hops hes on a cheap pay as you play contract if we get him.

Many non-performers offloaded. Tick
Debt reduced by £12 million. (Plus the Hartley/Gordon/Bednar money - up to $20 million)Tick
New manager (with international experience, has won championships in Hungary, has managed a team in European competition). Tick.

Romanov has managed so much more than Robinson could have done, so why do I still feel downhearted?

Albert Kidd's 86 allstars,

Melbourne 14/07/2008 03:34:05
#13, Aitchie, long time no hear, hope all is well.

I would be very interested in some details in these Hungarian championships that your new coach has won. He took over at Ferencvaros in June 2004 and the club has won nothing since. He has managed a team in euro competition, but in fairness his track record there is not exactly stunning. Better than Mixu but that says nothing. He does have international experience and has done a good job with a lowly african side. That is his only real achievment to date, but it is his most recent post.

Honestly, I'd keep the jury well and truely out on him until you see Hearts play under him...

THen Again I might just be saying that cos I'm 'brickin it'...

As the previous poster said this guy does talk a good game and as he's here anyway all Jambos should get behind him and hope he can galvanise this shambolic squad. A Scotsman would have been preferable of course, they seem to do pretty well down south after all(hello mad vlad!) but let's give Csabby! a chance.

Boak! Yes mr Arrogance, your junior learned some of your secrets and has woven them into his own repertoire!

Is willing to work twice as hard as you for half the money, and still feels he has something to prove.....unlike you, who thinks his Laurels will last forever!

Look around you Lothar, this is the real world.Many have trodden your path before.....Brian Robson, Steve whatsit Enland Manager, John Barnes, Liam Brady, Willie Miller and found out that a glorious playing career doesn't always equate to a decent management career.
Time to deflate your ba' heid and wish the young man all the best and good luck.

I have faith in Csaba and I am sure Hearts have the man to drive the players on to better things. We will not be 8th this coming Season,2nd or 3rd will do for a start.The Celtic & Rangers will not have it their own way thats for sure with Dundee Utd, Motherwell, Hearts and Aberdeen all capable of taking points of them. Sorry but it looks like Hibs are in for a rough season.

Spot on, Just because he was a Legend on the playing field does not make him a managerial expert all of a sudden. I wonder how much the Scotsman have went out of their way to get these quotes from Lothar.

19

It's me!,

14/07/2008 08:36:07
Has every newspaper in the country been on the phone to Lothar Matthaus and received exactly the same reply? Or could it be the that they are just copying what was first published in the Sun? Given the Sun's agenda against Romanov/Hearts I doubt the accuracy of their report. Maybe someone else should get on the phone to Matthaus to see if he is still of the same opinion.

the LM quotes were in the (spit) sun on saturday. they especially emphasised the words "WHAT" and "JOKING" in capital letters in order to convey the sense of utter shock and amazement that they obviously wanted people to think LM had.

LM says he "gave laszlo to ferencvaros". for me that says it all about his arrogance and i'm not going to place any great importance on his comments. also they could quite easily be quoted out of context.
21

Jambo-ree,

14/07/2008 09:08:31
Well Lazlo certainly talks the talk but whether he can walk the walk remains to be seen. We (fans and VR) have got give him a decent crack at the whip though as he's unlikely to produce an instant miracle cure.

Trust the Hootsmon to find a negative slant though. Defo sour grapes from Herr Matthaus IMO.
22

GrahamL,

14/07/2008 09:18:14
""What? Are you joking with me?" said Matthaus"
And the award for most stereotypical German response goes to...

He followed it up by saying, "Vee haff ways of makink you talk, schweinhund." Before slapping his lederhosen, waving a stein of beer around and then heading off for his tuba lesson. Before putting his towel on a sun lounger for tomorrow morning.

Would have been polite for Lothar to say something nice about Csaba, but, meh. He's our manager now so we're not about to turn against him already! And he's making positive noises about Berra and Driver staying. So far so good. But early, early days. We'll see what happens when:
1) He picks his first team
2) Someone comes in with a big bid for one of these guys to test Vlads resolve.
3) One of the 1st team decide not to sign a contract extension

RE Mathaus: I have two German friends and they reliably inform me that this is absolutely typical of Lothar... The man although obviously a very good footballer is a bit of a Boris Johnston when it comes to public appearances and he regularly has the entire Deutsch nation looking through their fingers when he is rolled out to pluck world cup balls or present awards.

Mathaus has the reputation according to my friends of being a bit of an embarassment, always saying the wrong thing at the wrong time and making them all cringe (Bit like our Riley actually, from what I'm told... without the dubious wife and fan clubs obviously) so i would not loose any sleep over his latest clanger to be honest guys.
25

Jamboy,

Lothar is also not known for his inteligence.

Still time will tell I spose and I for one will give the boy time to do his job.
26

Its so Vriesy,

Edinburgh 14/07/2008 09:44:11
This is a difficult one to comment on. Is it true he has not met Vlad yet? (Perhaps why he accepted the job.

We need some new players in asap. Our strikers are awful and defence looks short of resource if Berra / Wallace / Neilson leave or get injured. Hopefully Vlad has some decent signings up his sleeve that he wants to pick as it sounds like from Csaba's interview, in a roundabout way, the team will be picked by committee as usual.

We are certainly not going to waltz into the top 6 easily. Aberdeen, Dundee Utd and Motherwell will all be confident after decent outings last year. Not much to worry about through west as neither have made any decent signings (including Velicka). Hobos and us are going to have a bit of a slog this season me thinks. Fingers crossed Hamilton to a Derby County.

Salvatori,

21 GF - It was the Sun who unearthed this gem of info on Friday not the Scotsman. Trust them to put put a negative spin on it.

I'm not over enamoured with the appointment, but his credentials don't seem to bad. As far as Lothar is concerned anyway, who cares what he thinks. By all accounts an utter plank of a man. I would have been a hell of a lot more upset if this tube had ended up as our boss than Laszlo.
28

Who?,

14/07/2008 09:56:23
You can not possibly judge Laszlo until we have played 10- 15 league games. He will also be judged on his signings IF he is the person who recruits the players and IF he is the person who picks the team.

Until then anybody who is talking about his qualities or otherwise is speculating like an OF tabloid reader.

talking of weegy red-top drivel...

murdo mcceltic is in the daily rioter this morning denouncing the appointment. according to murdo, the font of all football knowledge, it's another strange appointment and hearts are continuing to conduct their business in a bizarre fashion. he goes on to say that the appointment smacks of desperation.

well there you go.

apparently we should never have sacked george burley and mark mcghee would have been the ideal choice, according to mcceltic. i'm sure that was talked about a while back.

I asked my German friend at the time of the Mathaus speculation what she thought of him and she basicaly confirmed him as the plank you suggest.

Cannot believe the Scotsman has fallen so low that it reproduces the Sun's transparent, trouble stirring, filth and passes it off as newsworthy... Sad days Johnston Press and perhaps typical of the reasons why your papers are struggling in the modern market.

Talk 107 were a disgrace in the way they handled the story too on Saturday and they did not even read the articles on him but quoted the headline from the Daily Rangers: "I'll split the Old Firm"...

If you were to come up with a template for glasgow syndrom (if it doesn't happen or origionate in glasgow then it hasn't happened/ doesn't exist) then these two guys would be your case study.

Mornin guys hows things?

Like the positive responses from Csaba, lets hope he can walk the walk now, cause he's certainly got the talk. Good interviews with him on Hearts world, and i liked his press conference interview.

Don't know what to make of this though. Could it be sinister or the truth.

"Captain Christophe Berra was a notable absentee from the Hearts squad which was due to fly to Belfast today for tonight's pre-season friendly against Glentoran, the centre-half ruled out with an ankle injury.

The Scotland cap twisted his ankle in training on Friday and has stayed behind to receive treatment from the club's physiotherapy staff at the Football Academy at Riccarton."

"The injury isn't anything significant, although it was decided he should remain in Edinburgh for treatment rather than travel to Northern Ireland just to watch the match at The Oval, which will be new manager Csaba Laszlo's first game in charge following his appointment on Friday"
36

"then these two guys would be your case study."

I work in research and trust me you would need to go on a whole new Home Office course to be confident of not picking anything adverse up if you were to use those two plebs as case studies.

What the hell is going on with that tom miller guy on 107 though? He has got a right bee in his bonnet at the moment and misses no opportunity to discredit all things Hearts... You expect it from Ewen (Keith Jackson's burd) Cameron but it is getting on my nerves a little that he is being so blindly anti-Hearts on an Edinburgh radio station... Allan Lawrence was even at it on Saturday!

I understand that these guys don't like Vlad and i am not his biggest fan either but it is about time they recognised the difference between Vlad and the Hearts fans and started providing us with the same fair coverage that is awarded to the Hibs fans.

Nice one by the way Elfsborg... 4-0? where have I seen that one before?

32 - Vic - yep, Murdo is a buffoon - symbolic of the "mafia" as described by VR, but in the media sense of the word. This is afterall the man who harps on about his time abroad, during which he failed to pick up a single word of German apart from "hello" and came home as his wife missed the pies ;)

Frankly I don't think he ever recovered from stopping that Dunga missile with his coupon at Italia 90.

33 - JB - Lothar is also a reknowned trouble maker too, and by all accounts was a pretty unpopular figure in the German / Bayern team during his playing days.

Sergina was born Sergie Sofranov to a Hungarian mother and a Lithuanian father in 1990.

Serg was an unremarkable student but showed promise in foriegn studies.

He was never happy as a man but after changing sex 18 months ago Sergina (as she now prefers to be called) met the love of her life... The famish Riley hamish and now knows how to please her man.

It's all there on her website.

I'm still trying to avoid the p!sh spouted by the likes of Sergina, but it's like trying to avoid looking at a car crash, watching her and her husband-to-be still beating their heads against the wall despite everybody knowing they're a pair of no-marks. Don't want to look but can't avoid it!

Obviously it's a bit too early to tell what he's going to be like (although that hasn't stopped the usual suspects) but looking forward to see what team goes out tonight and what the result is. I'm hoping Shabba is the disciplinarian he's been made out to be. I mean if you can give a Tynie legend a kick up the ar5e surely you can do it to some of this lot of slackers!

#40 Serg that's pathetic.

You took a quite from the Hearts site, edited it to suit your needs then posted it here to set up a false "fact"

Here's what Sergia the loser said

"The manager, who will have full responsibility for team selection, will be an experienced football manager and will have experience of management in British football."

Here's what the press release ACTUALLY said...

"The manager, who will have full responsibility for team selection, will be an experienced football manager and will PREFERABLY have experience of management in British football."

Like I say, that's just pathetic.
If the facts don't fit your agenda, twist 'em!
