Dunno if any of you have heard this story over the past few days, but Hearts manager George Burley was sacked bu Hearts majority Shareholder Vladimir Romanov. Or "mutually agreed to part ways due to irreconcilable differences" as they like to put it.
Link.
Prick, what the fuck was he thinking? Burley is by far the best manager in Scotland just now, he manged to take Hearts to the top of the fucking league, and see them unbeaten in 10 games. Romanov is trying to interfere waaay too much with the team, he should just let the fucking manager do his job.
Sir Bobby Robson is being tipped as the favourite to replace Burley. That would be strange. let me tell you...
Thoughts?

Bobby Robson at Hearts?!? Yes, that would be weird.
romanov was basically telling burley what to do and burley had had enough, i'd be the same , whats the point in managing a team if your not allowed to fully manage it?... shame for hearts cause this could fuck their season up royally
If Bobby Robson is appointed, i reckon Romanov's interference is over-hyped...Robson i'm sure (or any other internationally acclaimed manager) wouldn't take a job where's effectively a puppet.
Also remember this isn't the first instance of Burley not getting on with those above him...
Again let me stress that i do believe the manager should have overall control and say.
Either way Burley leaving is a big shock for hearts and i hope that it doesnt affect their season because they have made a cracking start to the season and i hope they maintain it.
Bobby Robson .. Right man for the job ?
But Robson is top-notch. Getting a younger manager of similar stature wouldn't be easy for any SPL team which ain't Old Firm. Robson would be the best choice imho - Scala's in the picture as well apparently, but he can barely speak English. I reckon it'll be Robson.
