Hearts fans want Romanov explanation

John Borthwick, secretary of the Federation of Hearts Supporters Clubs, is looking for Vladimir Romanov to explain another controversial day at Tynecastle which ended with both chief executive Phil Anderton and chairman George Foulkes leaving the Edinburgh club.

This latest chapter in an on-going Tynecastle saga follows on from the departure of manager George Burley just over a week ago due to “irreconcilable differences” with the Lithuanian businessman who recently increased his stake in the club to 55.5% with a view to eventually buying up all the shares.
