"Burley quits Hearts :o"

What the hell

I wouldn't be surprised if Burley goes to Rangers after they're out of Europe, unless they either go on a winning streak or exceed expectations in Europe.

It would be greta if Uncle Bobby did take over, and win the SPL. I think if he did that he might just retire happy.

The Romanov bloke just wants to turn Hearts into some Eastern European team it seems, with him picking the players or something.

I was in shock for a bit and pretty annoyed, especially if they slip up and ruin all the fun. Bobby Robson has been linked apparently.

The guy's got a fantastic record - taking Ipswich to 4th in the Prem (forget the prompt relegation afterwards)Not only survived in the championship with a bunch of kids with Derby, but shaped them into a play-off team, and now such a great start with Hearts.

The thing is he's left his last two jobs in strange circumstances - weren't there suggestions of alcoholism when at Derby?

Hopefulyl he'll be back doing what he's best at soon, but you've got to wonder which chairman will take a chance on him...

He'll be back in management before long I bet (although how long he'll last who knows!)

How do you think I felt (after he left Derby)?

Well, at least he can be sure he's left with the best record a Hearts manager has ever had.

Won over 80% of games and was unbeaten.


A bit shizzle for them, though, to lose such a good manager due to the owner.

Something to do with the people who have taken over. He didn't get on with them very well.

Exactly the same as when he left Derby, there's something dodgy going on...
