Sonds like something scandalous is going on, but this article doesn't spell it out clearly... so fans and players hate the new majority owner? Why?

I don't follow the scottish league very closly but Romanov (Hearts owner) seems to be abit unstable.

Rumours is that meddles into alot of club affairs like who gets to play etc and fired the manager last season even thought they were on top of the league cause he wouldn't take that. Then he hired a convicted sex offender as new manager, and then fired him after a few months. And brought in Valdas Ivanauskas and a few former Sovet Union personal has consultants, Valdas is now on a leave

Players has complained and made some threats concering the erretic squad selections and problems in communications with staff & players. Guess it's an old case of a new rich owner being impaitiant with results and also on a power trip trying to control things that should be left to the staff.

Wow very impressed you had heard anything about it let anyone so much hats off to you both !

Romanov sacked Burley last year when we had won our 1st 10 games (first time in our history) then brought in Graham Rix with the questionable past :( who was guiding us well but it became apparent he was not getting to pick the team.

We won the cup last year and finished second with Ivanuskas which is our best year since I have been alive so the fans where prepared to put up with anything.

Now we are slipping down the leage and Saturday (4-1 over Motherwell) was our first win in ten games.

Pressley has been a rock for us and the whole fan base seemed to be behind him but now that he has walked out the facade seems to be really slipping.

its not a great time to be a Jambo (Jam tarts sounds like hearts) just now but its still better than being a hobbo (hibs fan).

Hopefully things will pick up I guess alot depends what happens in January when the tranfer window opens and wither we manage to hold on to Heartly and Gordon.

Thanks for taking the interest though guys :applause: :applause:

Thanks for answering. We don't get a lot of coverage, but I know the hearts are your team, so when I see something about them, I figured I could get the story from you.
Sorry the skins and hearts are both having subpar years.

The only thing worse than the Skins and Hearts having below subpar years is the brokeback cowgirls and the Hobbos (hibs) having good years !

It just keeps getting worse new captain and the best player we have had in my lifetime Keeper Craig Gordon gets dropped to the bench in our 1-0 win away to dun utd :( :( Looks like he will be away in January when the transfer window opens.
