I was at Charlton for a few weeks and the spirit at the club is unbelievable. But it's too early to speculate. The keeper's excellent form, highlighted by a spectacular save from Andy McLaren at Kilmarnock, has endured throughout April. Antti has had an exceptional season, let alone a brilliant month, and he has been a vital cog in our improved defensive performances. I would like Antti to still be a Hearts player next season, but I can't stop other managers watching him.
Every player is for sale, it's just a matter of how much.
This club has been haemorrhaging money for a few years and we are trying to get it on a stable footing. If Antti were to leave, it would only be for an exceptional amount of money. But neither do Hearts wish to find themselves plunged into a 'Paul Ritchie scenario' where a valuable player is allowed to leave for little recompense. Chief executive Chris Robinson, who has enjoyed success in drastically reducing Hearts' level of losses, knows another balancing act is on the horizon. It is very satisfying and it is a feeling which money just can't buy.
