Yes, when will the man who subsequently got the Wigan job and is now in a lucrative position in the upper echelons of the Scottish FA ever get that second chance? The struggle is real.

a) What a really weird tweet, given most Hearts fans were very fond of Uche, while cognisant of his limitations and b) I'm pretty sure Uche will cringe seeing this, given his rapport with most Hearts fans, especially after his goals vs Hibs.
Thoughts are with those Hearts fans who mocked his signing because he once slipped in bad weather.
