Burley parts company with Hearts

[Knightsworld]

Just when the Scottish prem might have lost its Glasgow domination.

Burley parts company with Hearts

Burley arrived at Tynecastle in June
George Burley is no longer the head coach at Premier League leaders Hearts, BBC Scotland understands.
Burley arrived at Tynecastle in the summer and made a wonderful start, with the Edinburgh club going 10 games unbeaten to reach the top of the SPL.

However, rumours have persisted about an uneasy relationship between Burley and major shareholder Vladimir Romanov.

At this stage it is not clear if Burley has been sacked or walked away. Hearts will make a statement at 1800 BST.

The sensational news comes the day after Romanov announced a bid to take private control of the club.

not necessarily.

im clinging on to blind faith but part of my regular saturday routine lately has been looking at the SPL table just to see the amazement of a team not called Rangers/Celtic at the top.

unbelievable. Nearly crashed the car when I heard. The weegie media will have a field day. Press release at 6pm. Should be interesting. It was never an easy ride being a Hearts fan but this takes the biscuit.

 

[TheRoseofWhiteness]

Hearts 2-0 up

 

[Jambo Seagull]

Hearts 2-0 up

normal service resumed.

 

[Jambo Seagull]

The rumour I'm hearing is that he was being courted by Rangers and possibly Newcastle. When Romanov found out he was forced to resign.

 

[bigc]

well I'm still supporting 'em!

lets hope the old firm has gone floppy

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Chairman keeps babbling on about Champions League on Sky tonight. He's got nothing to say about Burley at all, and neither has Burley due to 'confidentiality clause'.

A tiny wee bit of success and the owner and chairman take leave of their senses. Shabby treatment of the manager or what?

 

[Northstander]

But why has he gone?
