Hearts chief cites ‘confidentiality’

HEARTS chief executive Phil Anderton has called for supporters to respect the “confidentiality” surrounding the departure of manager George Burley.

The ex-Scotland international left Tynecastle before the 2-0 win over Dunfermline on Saturday.

He is believed to have been involved in a row with majority shareholder Vladimir Romanov on Friday as their relationship disintegrated over team selection.
