Jamie Walker signs for Wigan for £300,000 on an intital 2 and half year deal, source SSN Transfer Centre, he will be back at hearts soon or on loan to midtable Scottish side like many before him i don't think it will work out, but Wish the lad all the best especially after our board and Hearts both equally imo messed Walker about and messed with his head.

Wish him well but don't agree that our board messed with his head at all. Hearts asked for 1m for a player with a year left on his contract, never had an international call up, was not playing well and carrying a reoccurring injury.
I am personally glad the board stood their ground, too many times we have let Scottish clubs bump the asking price up for a player solely because it's Rangers that want to sign them, they do the same with Celtic as well. We can't afford to give in like we used to, plus - I don't feel he was worth the 1m pricetag. Murphy is a far better signing.

If he thinks Wigan-in what is the English third division-is a better option than Rangers good luck to him.

I don't think we can say our board messed with his head.
We offered twice as much as they ended up getting for him. Hearts tried to hold us to ransom. We, correctly, declined. End of story.
Hearts lost 300,000 for the sake of 5 months of relatively poor form for him.
In the meantime we bring in alternative and better option in Murphy!
Why do people think our board are at fault here?

Dont see how Rangers Board are to blame. We offered decent money and Hearts wouldn't sell and have ended up with considerably less.

It was indeed decent money. This is supported by the fact that Hearts have willingly lost the player 6 months early gaining 300k. I don't see how losing him 12 months early doesn't equate to 600k?

Scottish clubs do the same to Selik? They got Armstrong, GMS and Allan for a combined £40 quid and a loan of Mcgeoch
