Hearts to stand firm over fee for Laszlo

Published Date: 16 July 2008
By Ian Rodgers
HEARTS are expected to reject the Federation of Uganda Football Association's claims for compensation over the departure of Csaba Laszlo.
The former Uganda head coach joined Hearts as

manager last week but reports from the African country yesterday indicated that the Ugandan governing body is threatening to call in Fifa over compensation.

The Federation of Uganda Football Asso
ciations (Fufa) insists it is owed £100,000 from Hearts over the loss of their head coach. However, it is understood that there is dispute over the terms of the contract, and whether any compensation is due at all.

Fufa spokesman Rogers Mulindwa claimed Hearts officials involved in the signing of Laszlo have 'disappeared'.

"Now there is no proper communication. They (Hearts] are quiet," said Mulindwa. "We have made phone calls but seem not to talk to the right people."

He added: "We will next petition Fifa. He (Laszlo] will lose his job and remain between Hearts and the Cranes if he is not careful."

Details of Laszlo's contract with the Uganda national team have been published in the local media. It is claimed that a three-month notice period for both parties had to be given to avoid a breach of agreement.

Reports said that Fufa would have had to pay £173,000 to sack Laszlo, while Laszlo was due to pay £60,000 if he broke his contract.

Hearts last night declined to comment on Fufa's claim for compensation.

To me it seems ridiculous that fans of clubs that "dwarf" mine in every way shape and form are ready and willing to make their thoughts known the very second that stories are put on the net.

Anyway, excuse me, I'm off to speak to some Stirling fans.

I've just heard that they've signed Ian Harty.

Incredible!

As in the vast majority of these cases, there will be huffing and puffing on both sides, before a deal is finally struck.
It's understandable. What on earth some posters are on about is beyond me.
I am confident that both of the OF teams have failed to meet initial transefer/compensation demands on certain deals.
Get a life for goodness sake.

haw haw, something for the flumps to get all excited about.

you couldn't make it up, could you? it's only been 5 DAYS since he joined us and already we've got the vultures pecking away at our heids about the compo money.

there are no statements from hearts to the effect that they are going to try to avoid paying anything for a start. nobody outside of those directly involved knows anything about the terms in his ugandan contract, neither can they substantiate whether or not it's the case that the contract has been breached by the ugandans for failing to pay wages.

that's highly unlikely to stop certain people jumping over themselves to declare all out pandemonium, asset-stripping and immediate bankruptcy at tynecastle.

tick tock indeed.

Another hatchett job by the Evening news guys. Once again they have not printed the full story. I read this online last night on a Ugandan news site. Quotes have been missed out yet again along with important details.

"HEARTS officials have suddenly gone quiet on a compensation package worth £120,000 (sh396m) for former Cranes coach Laszlo Csaba.

Ugandan soccer officials were yesterday left puzzled after reports emerged from Edinburgh that Csaba had actually told his new Scottish club that he had quit because FUFA had breached his contract.

A source said yesterday that FUFA had learnt that Hearts had changed their minds over the compensation deal after Csaba told them the federation had reneged on their deal

The Hungarian reportedly informed Hearts officials that he was not paid for two months.

FUFA publicist Rogers Mulindwa said yesterday that officials they talked to before Csaba left have vanished.

“Now there is no proper communication. They (Hearts) are quiet,” Mulindwa lamented.

“We have made phone calls but seem not to talk to the right people,” Mulindwa said.

The FUFA official then issued a warning that they would appeal to the world soccer governing body, FIFA. “We will next petition FIFA. He (Csaba) will lose his job and remain between Hearts and the Cranes if he is not careful.”

Last week, the Hungarain coach signed a three-year deal with Hearts. Csaba, recruited by FUFA in 2006, still had two years left on his contract.

FUFA allowed him to talk to Hearts expecting his new employers to buy out his contract for a fee of sh396m.

FUFA president Lawrence Mulindwa said he expected Hearts to pay them compensation for signing Csaba but

was getting disappointed by the latest developments. He revealed that his executive would be briefed by lawyers today."

If and i say IF Csaba has quit, then compensation would not be due by Hearts, and in fact if he Quit due to them breaching his contract then they don't have a claim for compensation at all. IF however Csaba quit and there is deemed to have been no breach of contract, Csaba is the one liable to pay compensation. As far as i know Both sides had to give 3months notice. So Csaa would be due them 3months wage. Which ultimately Hearts would most likely pay for him.

Not like the Scotsman or Evening News to miss out quotes or make a story seem different is it guys

Yawn......

Total non-story to be honest... A business is witholding payment from another business, my my that never happens does it?

A deal will be done that is a comprimise which will save the yams a few quid (they need to save the pennies these days after all) & that the Ugandans are happy with (to an extent)....

Its called business & really has bog all to do with the footballing side. Uganda will most likely not appeal to FIFA & even if they do by the time FIFA do anything Hearts will have coughed up...

Now however..... Its over to Sergina for a totally different point of view on the story at hand.....

You should think again.

Hearts cannot employ him if he still had a period of his contract to run.

Perhaps Romanov is chancing his luck that he can save a few bob, as they other side might think it is more bother than it's worth to chase after hearts through the appropriate channels.

If Hearts don't pay what they rightfully owe, a five year ban from Europe (although this would make no difference to them anyway), and continued pressure from the press regarding their concealment policy.

Full disclosure.

Spot on m8, every club holds out when there is a compensation argument, why pay an amount if you can save a few quid or maybe even find a loophole to get out of it. As I said previously IF Csaba has quite it will not be Hearts that are due any compensation, and if deemed he quit wrongly it would be Csaba thats due to pay them NOT Hearts, so why should Hearts stump up £120,000 when they could maybe get away with paying 3months of Csabas salary. I believe he was on something like 50k a year with Uganda, quarter of that 12.5k big difference m8, saving over 100,000

Its just rudiementary business practice IMO...

Invoice comes in...
"File that"
Week later
"we sent you an invoice, when can we expect payment?"
"Ohhhh aye, its with our accounts department, be sorted soon"
Week passes
"err, we still havent recieved payment for that invoice"
"I'm sorry about that, I'll chase it up for you"
more time passes
"Listen you still havent paid us, if you dont pay soon we shall need to take legal action I'm afraid"
"We'll pay it ASAP, sorry for inconvience"
"Youd better get that invoice paid now, they're getting upset"

This happens in business all the time.. If you have an agreement with somebody to pay up on 60 day terms, you dont pay up on day 1 do you? No you pay as late as you possibly can for the simple reason that the money is far better in your pocket than theirs....

As I said total non story IMO, just sensationalist jornalism at its best. Dont get me worng I love to hear of you lot being in deep doo doo but this is just rubbish..... If the journous have something that really is newsworthy about shady shennanigans at hearst (or any other club except Hibs of course) then I like to hear it but this is? Not worth the paper its written on.

I have a diploma in contract law son, and what I have stated is if and but scenarios, As yet we do not know the full facts of this, in fact we don't even know if it is true. FACTS are Hearts and Csaba are claiming he QUIT his post due to the Ugandan FA breaching his contract. IF found to be right, there will be no compensation due by either party. If found that Csaba Quit his post wrongly (In other words its deemed there was no breach) then Csaba would be due the compensation himself, he had the contract with Uganda NOT Hearts, and as Im led to believe the clause was 3 months notice by either party or 3 months compensation of wages.

Now use your pearls of wisdom to work out from there who is liable to pay compensation....and do try to take off your tinted specs of hatred towards Hearts when deciding.

Exactly what myself and many others have said in the past regarding time limits on paying etc. I have clients all the time hold out payment from me, I do the same. Ok im only small fry compared to a multi million pund business like a football club, but it is standard business practice as you say.

£100,000 sitting in a bank for an extra month or 2 gaining interest for Hearts/Romanov is a lot of Interest, and interest he would not have accrued if paid immediately.

Yeah. We may be in the right here, we may not. If Csaba technically left under breach of contact then we're probably not not due the compo to the Ugandan FA. And if they're reporting a £60k payment if Csaba quits, compared to the £120k reported last week then - again - a bit fo confusion needs clearing up before we start waving cheques around.

But. And it's a big but. Why do these stories always come out? They all seem to involve a lack of communication from the Hearts officials. It happened with Screpis, it happened with Dunfermline. We may be in the right, there may be good reasons for what we're doing - but if we don't talk to the parties involved it will continue to come out in the papers. It's not the sign of impending administration that some people are hoping for. It's just embarrassing. And easily avoided.

You ever notice that when BTO is in a conversation his replies are usually 5-6 minutes after the OP? Yet when he's asked to back up his claim that he studies other teams in detail and asked for details (e.g. on Hearts' young defenders) all of a sudden it's 12-14 minutes.

The yams were third favourites this time last year as well Huggs.... Looks like the cream cookies got it wrong there then?

Wouldnt go too much on old uncle Willie Hills odds as theres bound to have been some eejits punting Hearts at 150/1 after they appointed a manager. Hence the odds have been shortened accordingly. Thats how betting markets work in general...

Money comes in for a runner in an event, the odds shorten.. No money on a selection they lengthen.... Its called laying...

If Lazslo claims he hasn't been paid for two months so the ugandan's are in breach then i'll take his word for it. Lets face it if the case were as open and shut as the scotsman would have us beleive then the ugandan's would be straight to fifa instead of the press.

Even if a compensation payment is due i'm willing to be it will end up in a swiss bank account rather than one at the bank of uganda.

#52 True. And I suspect they won't even bother telling us when they do write the cheque for this - that's not exactly news.
It's just a shame that the club haven't been talking to the Ugandan FA on this, so when the mischief making journalists phone up and ask "have you been paid yet?" they can say "we're in discussions with the club about settling the debt" rather than "they haven't returned our phone calls"
Of course, Csaba was announced on Friday, so it's really only 2 working days. Must admit, if all the people I deal with went to the papers when I took more than 2 days to return a phone call there'd be no room for anything else!

Since you slithered off last night when you were found out to be the liar and low life you really are, would you care to tell us why you edited the Hearts statement. Just so you dont forget and so others can see for themselves here it is, both versions, yours and Hearts.

"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."

heres your version

"The Board of Heart of Midlothian Football Club (Hearts) has begun the search for a football manager to fill the current vacant post at Tynecastle. 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."

Obviously my primary concern is HEARTS but hope Hearts/Hibs/Dundee utd/Motherewell/Falkirk(added a lot of experience) can all through caution to the wind & 'gave a go' at the OF & at least make a go of it.

You questioned my academic qualifications I merely stated one of them. I didnt bother to go into my degree I have. However you do seem to be ahead of me if you are actually telling the truth as i dont have a post grad, but we cant all be clever enough like you TT, mean it takes a lot of intelligence to make accusations and claims about something or someone when you have no physical evidence to back it up...Bit like me saying The Celtic or Hibs board are skimming from the top without any evidence to back it up.....but I couldnt say that because im not as clever as you, I dont have a post grad

#80 Please explain how Hearts are breaking Ugandan employment law.
Stop beating around the bush and show your knowledge. You surely didn't spout off without knowing anything about the subject at hand did you?

#92, there's an admission for you. so you admit the agenda in play here is to "wreck the threads".

how noble of you eh?

Moxy,

To be honest I'm happy about this story. It shows Hearts aren't prepared to just write off money hand over fist. Those who have be blasting Hearts for running up debt should take this as a positive.

As for Hearts 'not paying their debts', this goes on in every business. Those who don't know this simply don't have much of a clue. Money is your bank, for as long as possible, is always better than your money in someone elses.

I find it extremely amusing the amount of poeple who come on here and make up rubbish about Hearts business and fincial affairs simply so they can do a post. Word of advice; please get a life.

Just read that as well....so there we have it, at last an admission that TT and pimp are here to try and wreck the threads....something we have all kown for a long time...no interest in proper football debate...pure abuse and harassment to destroy these forums is their agenda....And they wonder why there posts are removed....

#97 GF, it seems the alleged champions of free speech and open debate are the ones surpressing it.

cannot / will not add anything meaningful to the threads? destroy it for everyone else.

jpress take note, the policy at play here is to destroy your comments section. it's entirely up to you what you do about it.

Bet Petrie wishes Mixu was on a loan deal, that way he wont have to pay up a full compensation when he is sacked for taking Hibs to the bottom of the league.

No posters here delete your comments, only the powers that be at the Scotsman can do that.

Only they decide if a post's acceptable or not and for you to blame any other posters here for your nonsense being censored is just childish.

The masks are slipping.

Correct a public forum, associated with a media outlet. You have been told before, free speech doesn not come without its limitations, Abu Hamza found that out as have many others. You cannot make false claims or slanderous comments about a person or company without proof and expect not to face the consequences...the consequences being in this case the EN will delete your posts....I see that masters degree and post grad serves you well....just the same as abusing and harassing members of this public forum is not permitted (Check terms and conditions) your masters degree and post grad qualifications should be enough for you to work out the EN/Scotsman are clearly within their rights to moderate such behaviour.

Well b*gger me the Ugandan F.A. are makings noises about compensation and contract terms. The only surprise is it's taken them nearly a week. It's par for the course with third world and some Arab countries to complain like this. Alleged copies of contracts turn up out of the blue and they start asking for money. Remember the same scenario occurred with Zemamma and a disputed contract a couple of years ago.

Thats it Tatoo haha can just hear that little squeaky voice now everytime riley tells TT what to post "YES BOSS" haha

Riley "Give those h.umps your speach about asset stripping"
TT - "YES BOSS"
Riley - "Throw in some money laundering scams as well"
TT - "YES BOSS"
Riley - "Then get down on your knees in front of me"
TT- "YES BOSS"
Riley - "On second thoughts you dont need to kneel just stand"
TT - "YES BOSS"

SAME RULES APPLY !!!,

92 "wreck the threads ". Too late for that. The usual old chums club has made a farce of this comments section. I have said it before , it is not a thread. When i see people passing private messages on a national newspaper website them i feel that something needs to be done about it. I will be again asking the scotsman to reconsider the wisdom of allowing comments on SPL stories as it only server to give a platform for cranks.

Same rules, if you don't like it foock off elsewhere.

Why can't Hearts do something that doesn't end up with the club looking like a bunch of amateurs?
It's not as if the Ugandans are asking for a fortune.
This 100k was mentioned from the very outset.
No matter who's right here, Hearts still end up looking bad.

No what the Scotsman need to do is have a procedure in place to ban individulas who deliberately try to "Wreck" these forums...we have had the admission this morning this is certain peoples agenda...although its what many of us have been saying for a long time that this is their ultimate agenda. The BBC can moderate its forums effectively, and many other websites cam moderate its forums effectively, the Scotsman should be doing the same. There is no point removing someones username and posts if they can re-register a few mins later and be back on these threads. You dont even need a real email address to register. These forums are still in the dark ages.

To implement this is not difficult, and could be done very quickly indeed. IP banning and Email registration by confirmation etc. Why the Scotsman is taking its time to put these procedures in place is beyond me. Riley would have been banned from the BBC a long time ago if his actions were carried out on there.

I and everyone else are still waiting on TT's proof to back his claims up, so why should I or anyone else answer questions. "Play the game" you want answers then answer the questions we asked first...not to difficult to understand is it....not for a globe trotting entrepreneur like yourself....surely you can undertand when a question is asked an answer is expected before you start to ask questions.....

The trouble could be with the Scotsman m8.If they are going to encourage and chase story,s like the one we are supposed to be commenting on then why would they try and quell Serberus & cohorts for ruining the thread.
If they didnt print articles like this or print the correct article it would
