    Apparently if Hearts don't win this weekend , many of the first team will be sold .
    They are currently second in the league, there manager is on 2 weeks sick league.
    Is Romanov just a dangerous loose canon, and the sooner he leaves U.K football the better for all ?

    Taking on Hearts in FM could be interesting...

    Back on topic, Steven Pressley is not a happy man!
    Hearts captain Steven Pressley has revealed widespread unrest in the Scottish team's dressing room following two years of managerial upheaval.

    A planned news conference with caretaker coach Eduard Malofeev was scrapped while Pressley, flanked by team mates Craig Gordon and Paul Hartley, read out a statement.

    "Morale, understandably, is not good and there is significant unrest in the dressing room," Pressley said, reading from the statement after training.

    The extraordinary move follows repeated interference in team selection by Lithuanian owner Vladimir Romanov and comes just days after manager Valdas Ivanauskas announced he was taking two weeks' rest for health reasons.

    "I have tried, along with the coaching staff and certain colleagues, to implement the correct values and discipline but it has become an impossible task," the statement said.

    "There is only so much coaching staff, a captain and certain colleagues can do without the full backing, direction and coherence of the manager and those running the football club.

    "The last two years have been testing for the players and together they have faced a number of challenges."

    The BBC reported on its website that Romanov had threatened to sell all the players if they failed to beat Dunfermline on Sunday.

    The BBC said Romanov would move players "to Kilmarnock or whatever club will take them" and then play a team of youngsters against Celtic next weekend.

    Former manager George Burley left last October while the club topped the Scottish Premier League amid reports of a bust-up with Romanov trying to pick the team.

    His replacement Graham Rix was sacked after it emerged he told the players he no longer chose the team. He was replaced by Ivanauskas.

    Hearts trail leaders Celtic in the Scottish title race by eights points with 20 from 11 games and have already crashed out of the Champions League and UEFA Cup this season.
