Vlad blasts under performing players

Last updated : 12 September 2007 By Scott The Jambo
Hearts owner Vladimir Romanov has stunned players by lambasting them for their poor start to the season.

Rumours are spreading that players are already complaining about fatigue due to an overzelous pre-season regime, taken by Eduard Malofeev.

Romanov claims plays should stop blaming poor coaching for bad results and has even threatened to banish the squad to Lithuania if results do not improve!

This latest rant is sure to hit morale ahead of Saturday's visit of league leaders Rangers, who have won their opening 5 matches.
