My Hearts mate that agrees with Rico was also there and this is what he had to say, he means Dave Cormack!

I'm not surprised by either of these to be honest. McInnes isn't an idiot. Cormack came in with grand plans, but with absolutely no idea how to implement them. McInnes will have known the way clubs were going in terms of control over signings and managerial succession planning, and I think he'd have always been amenable to it. What he wouldn't have been amenable to is the half arsed approach that Cormack was taking towards it. He had the example of Hernandez, and he'll have likely thought that Cormack was full of shite. Ultimately, McInnes was going to be responsible for Cormack's mistakes (and was, given the final January window), and he'd have been reticent to give up control on that basis. He was proven entirely correct too. Three managers have been expended on Cormack's experiments. They've had the ridiculous task of playing entertaining football, with signings made via a system still a massive work in progress, with no proper backroom team to do the recruitment work. Had we not won the cup, then it might have taken a fourth manager too.

I watched 10 minutes of his 90 minute Q&A with Hearts fans before I got bored. A lot of it appeared to be playing to the crowd. "The days of a two-horse race are over" - loud applause, etc.

But I think he genuinely believes Hearts are going to pull away from the rest and be the Old Firm's equal. 

This is the third time in the past 26 years I can remember Hearts coming out with these statements. There was the SMG investment around 1999 that they said would mean there would be no doubt over who was now the third force. Then it was Romanov. Now this fella.

Nothing wrong with a bit of ambition, but I would maybe wait until you've been in Scottish football for more than five minutes before dismissing Aberdeen, Hibs and the rest, and stating you're now up there with the Old Firm.
