Csaba ranks highly for Hearts this week
Employment tribunal set to take place
Some of the Hearts fans may have fallen out of love with Csaba Laszlo near the end of his reign at Tynecastle but for Scottish football, he was good copy. Why give a one line answer when you can deliver a novel seemed to be Laszlo’s motto and he always managed to wrap interviewers around his finger.
Whether that was through his charm or in total confusion will probably remain unanswered but for a spell it looked as though Laszlo was able to work well with Vladimir Romanov. The Hungarian is still the longest serving manager at Hearts during the Vladimir Romanov era but disagreements over signing targets led to an inevitable parting of the ways.
It is this parting of the ways that will be placed under scrutiny this week with Laszlo taking his former club to an employment tribunal, citing unfair dismissal. Laszlo points to 18 months left on his contract at the time of his sacking and his legal team will be seeking compensation for this breach of contract.
The Number of managers that Hearts have went through during the Romanov era would suggest that it can’t be a surprise to have been sacked by the club but that shouldn’t lessen any case Laszlo has.
Hearts moved with great speed to replace the Hungarian with Jim Jefferies returning to Tynecastle in the blink of an eye. The party line from Jefferies was that he was in Edinburgh shopping with his wife when the call from Hearts came through.
In one sense, we really hope that is true but the contractual details seemed to be concluded rather quickly.
Then again, the speed of the replacement is not necessarily an issue that affects the case put forward by Laszlo and his defence team.
With the new season having kicked off and the Jambos having dropped two points against 10 man St Johnstone, this will be unlikely to have an impact on the football club. Jefferies will be focused on getting his team ready for the weekend.
However, yet again the illustrious Edinburgh club sees its name being dragged through the mud with regards to complaints made by a former employee.
We’d like to clarify to Mr Romanov and his legal team that we have no real opinion on the case and any preceived opinion that may appear to be weighted in favour of Csaba Laszlo is purely down to him being good copy during press conferences and interviews.
Well, you can’t be too careful can you?
