Rangers to table FINAL £700k bid early this week for Jamie Walker.
Hearts were set to accept £650k bid 2 weeks ago before they sacked their manager. Fearing a backlash from the Hearts fans who own a substantial part of the club as part of the fans ownership scheme they put it on hold until a new manager is appointed.
That is expected to be concluded in next 1-2 days and with Walker telling the club he intends to see out his contract its unlikely the new manager will not sanction the move to enable him to free up some cash to buy his own players to shape the squad.
Rangers are hoping £700k will seal the deal.
I don't know Hearts board or Jamie Walkers agent if this doesn't happen before window closes shoot me down but the noises i'm hearing is they expect this to be over the line before window closes.

In the modern game its very rare that a new manager comes into a club and makes decisions so quickly. They have a director of football.

Not if the DOG and the new manager are one and the same

Sorry guys, but from what I've seen of j walker, I can't say I'm jumping for joy at the thought of him signing for us. Hope I'm wrong

I would imagine the board and DOF would have their opinion but buying and selling players would be Managers remit. After already sanctioning new transfers for Cathro like Berra and Lafferty who will be on decent wages.
I'm sure the transfer kitty will be in need of a top up if new manager is allowed to get his own men in over next few days. It makes sense for a Manager to want to generate a decent fee rather than have an unhappy player around the club who he will then lose for nothing and with the board already setting an asking price of £1m proves they are receptive to selling the player.

Did anyone really expect walker to play well against us? He has made it clear he wants to play for us and will want to engineer a move. If he played well he would have given reason for hearts to demand more money when we clearly won't pay!

Hearts need the money! New stand over budget and Foundation of Hearts membership falling monthly.
