Heart of Midlothian star Rudi Skacel insists he wants to stay with the club despite a bitter feud between players and owners.
The 32-year old Czech playmaker comes out of contract at the end of this month and admits he may have played his last match for the Jambos – in which he scored a hat-trick against St Mirren – but he is also confident he will get a nw deal because owner Vladimir Romanov loves him.
“I hope I will experience it again but if it was my last game I signed off in style, didn’t I?
“However, my priority is to stay with Hearts and I haven’t looked for a move.
“Mr Romanov has also sent word that he wants me to stay at all costs, so we will arrange a meeting and discuss the possibilities.
“I hope the hat-trick helps my negotiations a little but there is no problem from the owner’s side.
“The most complicated thing about negotiations with Mr Romanov is he doesn’t speak English, so we need an interpreter. He’s a tough businessman but it’s good that he loves me.”“My contract expires at the end of January so the game against St Mirren may have been my last at Tynecastle. As a result, there was a special atmosphere,” he told the Daily Record.
“I would rather think over my future in the summer. I have no reason to leave here. I’m satisfied at Hearts and the fans love me.
