Genk plan to go to Fifa in order to get the remainder of the £750,000 transfer fee they say they are due if the money is not forthcoming from Hearts.

Eleanor_Rigby Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 Link <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Hearts set to step on European minefield ANDREW SMITH HEARTS new coach Alexei Mikhailichenko starts off his Tynecastle tenure with a Champions League second-round qualifier that may stir memories of what befell Gordon Strachan when Celtic met Artmedia Bratislava last summer. The Ukrainian will be made explicitly aware by club owner Vladimir Romanov that such failure cannot happen. Murrayfield, after all, has been rented out in anticipation of a European run. But when the draw is made in Nyon on Friday, a tie as awkward as the one which proved too much for Celtic cannot be entirely discounted. As with Strachan's side a year ago, Hearts are seeded for the second-round qualifiers, to be played on July 26-27 and the following midweek. They will therefore avoid such pedigree performers as Fenerbahce, Spartak Moscow, Dynamo Kiev and Dinamo Zagreb. More importantly though Mikhailichenko will inherit a playing core whose great match-winning strength has been developed over years playing together. That strength would be tested by Salzburg, one of several of teams Hearts should hope to avoid. The Austrian club have been thinking big this summer, appointing Giovanni Trapattoni and Lothar Matthaus as their management team. While the Tynecastle side are relying on Romanov to fly them high in world football's premier club competition, Salzburg are looking to sponsors Red Bull to give them wings. Czech club Mlada Boleslav are another team that might pose the Gorgie men difficulties because of the relative strength of playing standards in that country. Hailing from a town better known for its Skoda car factory, they claimed second place in only their second season following promotion to the upper tier. If Artmedia could prove a tough nut for both halves of the Old Firm to crack then SCP Ruzomberok, the side that toppled them in the Slovakian championship, can hardly be taken lightly. Ekranas Panerezys would be mightily intriguing opponents. They earned a place in the Champions League through preventing Romanov's hometown club Kaunas registering a sixth straight Lithuanian title success. The old order is well on its way to being restored, however. Kaunas are 14 points clear of the defending champions after 13 games of their summer season. The names of two more possible draws for Hearts will provoke grimacing among some other Scottish football supporters. The Finnish club My-Pa 47 ended Dundee United's interest in the UEFA Cup last year. Icelanders Hafnarfjordur, meanwhile, accounted for Dunfermline in a UEFA Cup qualifier little under a year ago. The Tynecastle men are superior in every way to these vanquished Scottish sides, but Celtic's experience 12 months ago is a warning they would do well to heed. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> They're banging on like it's a done deal.

Speaking through an interpreter, he said: "It is true he is on the yacht. We will clarify the position on 3 July. We are talking to the coaching staff."

The veteran coach has opened up a commanding lead in the Lithuanian league, with FBK Kaunas ahead by 17 points after 16 games. Although he was absent because of health problems at the start of the season, FBK Kaunas are unbeaten - having won 15 and drawn one of their league matches. Romanov was heavily involved with FBK Kaunas and retains strong ties with the club that his bank continues to sponsor, along with the Edinburgh club.

That gives us a full pre-season fixture list," manager Tony Mowbray told the Scotsman. "Of course, ultimately, we want to get through the four games and that will get us into the Uefa Cup." If Hibs get past Dinaburg, they will face Irish side Shelbourne or Danish outfit OB Odense. Meanwhile, the Edinburgh Evening News reports that two Moroccans are on trial at Easter Road. They are listed as 21-year-old defender Abderahme Mssassi and 23-year-old midfielder Merouane Zemama. "First impressions are that they are very talented, technical players," said Mowbray. "I usually don't like bringing trialists in but, at the start of the year, it's maybe no bad thing to have a look at some and to have a few new faces around the training ground.

My club, AIK Stockholm, will have your forward Hjalmar Thorarinsson on trial for the next couple of days. Can you give me some information about the player? Like what's stoping him from playing?
