Following an indifferent start to their League campaign, head coach Valdas Ivanauskas took a sabbatical from his role on 23 October. Club owner Vladimir Romanov, who stated "I have full confidence in Valdas and look forward to his return",http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/h/heart_of_midlothian/6075332.stm Ivanauskas to take two-week break BBC Sport 24 November 2006 23 October 2006 appointed the club's sporting director, Eduard Malofeev, as interim head coach. Further off-field disruption ensued four days later when Romanov warned his players that they would all be put up for sale if Hearts did not win their match against Dunfermline Athletic the next day. Captain Steven Pressley, flanked by senior players Paul Hartley and Craig Gordon, responded with a statement voicing the players' unhappiness at affairs at the club, stating in a pre-match media conference ahead of Dunfermline's visit that there was "significant unrest" in the dressing room.http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/h/heart_of_midlothian/6091336.stm#startcontent Romanov issues player ultimatum BBC Sport 25 November 2006 27 October 2006 The game was drawn 1–1. The repercussions from the press conference stretched over several months and eventually led to the departure from the club of two of the so-called Riccarton Three.Riccarton being the location of Hearts training ground, where the contentious press-conference took place. Pressley was dropped for a match against Falkirk on 13 Novemberhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/h/heart_of_midlothian/6145162.stm Pressley holds talks with union BBC Sport 25 November 2006 15 November 2006 and named as an unused substitute for a 1–0 defeat by Rangers on 19 November.http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/scot_prem/6157788.stm Hearts 0–1 Rangers BBC Sport 25 November 2006 19 November 2006 Hartley was only used as a substitute in the former game. Pressley eventually left Hearts on 9 December, with accompanying press releases stating that this was an amicable agreement. He joined rivals Celtic on 1 January 2007 and captained his new squad to a 2–1 victory at Tynecastle on his first return to Edinburgh. Hartley also moved to Celtic during January 2007, in a £1.1 million transfer on 31 January. This only left Gordon, who was dropped for matches away to Dundee United and Rangers in December and January respectively, as the only member of the trio to remain at Hearts beyond the January transfer window. Hearts failed to win a game under the management of Eduard Malofeev, who took control during Ivanauskas' sabbatical. Hearts lost at Celtic and Hibernian – a result which eliminated Hearts from the Scottish League Cup – and at home to Rangers. He remained as caretaker manager until late November 2006 when, despite media reports anticipating the appointment of Eugenijus Riabovas,http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/h/heart_of_midlothian/6167092.stm Ribovas promises Hearts return BBC Sport 24 November 2006 21 November 2006 Ivanauskas returned to resume his duties as club manager.http://www.heartsfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/HeartsNewsDetail/0,,10289~933468,00.html https://archive.today/20120804012646/http://www.heartsfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/HeartsNewsDetail/0,,10289~933468,00.html dead 4 August 2012 Valdas Returns Hearts F.C. 27 November 2006 A 1–0 loss in the Scottish Cup at Dunfermline on 3 February 2007, with Gordon on the bench, ended Hearts' chance to retain the trophy. Later that month, Ivanauskas was moved to a director of football role,http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/h/heart_of_midlothian/6398633.stm Ivanauskas set for change of role BBC Sport 26 February 2007 28 February 2007 with director of football Anatoly Korobochka assuming the role of interim head coach on 2 March. An improved run of form towards the end of the season witnessed Hearts challenge Aberdeen for third spot in the League and UEFA Cup qualification. The Dons scored a last minute equaliser in a head-to-head confrontation between the two teams at Tynecastle in May, and eventually finished four points clear in third place.

A combination of Tynecastle falling short of UEFA requirements in terms of pitch size and hospitality facilities, and Murrayfield's greater capacity, meant that Murrayfield was the preferred choice for the Tynecastle board. Hearts won their second round qualifying tie against Bosnian champions Široki Brijeg 3–0 on aggregate, but were defeated 5–1 on aggregate by AEK Athens in the final qualifying round. The Greek side won 2–1 at Murrayfield due to two late goals and then won 3–0 in the Athens Olympic Stadium. Hearts had one player (Bruno Aguiar) sent off in the first leg and two players (Julien Brellier and Neil McCann) sent off in the second leg.

PAOK's Christos Karipidis and Tiago Costa, a full back from Benfica B were also signed, while in the final week of the transfer window three further Lithuanian players – Marius Žaliūkas, Kęstutis Ivaškevičius and Andrius Velička – joined on loan from FBK Kaunas. Hearts fans still anticipated the arrival of "two World Cup stars" but were left disappointed when the club announced that the final piece of business of the transfer window would be to sign the previously-loaned striker Roman Bednář on a permanent deal.
