I want to thank you for your support in 2010-11. You have given the team great backing and your loyalty remains absolutely resolute and strong.

In Jim Jefferies we have a man we can trust to deliver on our aims, and to protect our football club.

Next season I hope we see more young players like David Templeton, Gary Glen, Lee Wallace, Andrew Driver, and Craig Thomson make the breakthrough to the first team.

Our Academy is very important - to produce patriotic players who care passionately about Hearts and delivering great success to you.

We will never stop fighting for this club, to make it better every day, and fundamental to this is the knowledge that you stand by me as we enter each battle.

United we can achieve a great deal.
