class club coach football sir
Sir Clive has been a world class coach in a different sport...but at the end of the day I think with any football club it's a team.
absolutely both changing club coming compared couple difference enjoying everyday far free given hearts months mr past picking role routine running team training transfer
I get on very well with Mr Romanov and we have a workable relationship. We're both coming from the same place - and that's to make Hearts successful. The only difference compared to what I'm used to is in transfer dealings. I can live with that. My everyday routine running this club is absolutely fine. I'm really enjoying it as far as training matters, picking the team and changing things on and off the field. I've been given a free role and feel we've come a long way over the past couple of months on and off the field.

ongoing issue which has proved impossible to resolve.
bring compete feeling few firm remains saying short strong
If you look at the Old Firm squads now, there's no comparison, ... I don't feel we're anything like as strong as them. We're still short of feeling we can compete with them but that remains our target. In saying that, if we can bring in a few more players, who knows?
anyone bring fact list loads others squad
I had loads of others on a list and it was disappointing not to bring anyone else in as I know for a fact that they would have strengthened our squad immensely.
mini needs
Michel needs more training. It will be like a mini pre-season for him,

adverse effect games ideally reserve worked
He's worked hard, and hasn't had any adverse effect on his hamstring, so he's getting there. Ideally you'd want him to play one or two reserve games first ...
