He parted company with Hearts today despite him leading Hearts in overtaking Rangers as Scotland's number two club.

The statement Hearts gave was that it was mutual decision. And he would not say why because all parties had signed a confidentiality agreement. But interestingly that they would now be searching for a manager WORTHY of the position.

But long before then a rift between Burley and Romanov appeared to have opened up and when Brazilian midfielder Samuel Almeida Camazzola arrived at the club on August 31, Burley admitted he had no involvement in the move.



A story of the chairman signing the players and then introducing them to the manager.

Haven't I heard this before somewhere?

The Hearts Chairman knew it was time to part company with Burley, when he went into the executive Washroom that fateful morning;

I wish we still had the Chairman that bought the players behind the managers back!

That obviously must be a deliberately controversial statement.

Chairmen run the business side of the club but they must never be entrusted with the football decisions. The chairman can NEVER over-rule the football manager as to who should be in the team. If that happens, the manager leaves and takes a different team to the Premier League. (PJ).

I'll field those one at a time if I may.

It'd be nice to have a Chairman nowadays capable of such basic business decisions as how to get bums on seats. But we haven't. Which is more scary than any mismanagement by his predessesors.

Paul Jewell was poacched by Wednesday with an offer to double his salary. Nothing more than that. The Chairman was picking the team malarky is a conspiracy theory mate.

Like the above mentioned alleged situation at Hearts, if the Chairman was picking the team during that time, he'd have given himself the job because two promotions and an extra season in the Prem is as fine "management" CV. But he wasn't, just a nice little chinese whisper.

Correct Sunflower.

When that happens, manager starts to put the feelers out, and guess what, some Chairmen bite their hand off. Well done Jagger, you deserve all the success...........it was just a shame other people's ego's got in the way.

You've told yourself that story that often.
You actually believe it !!!

Do you honestly think that PJ would have walked out on a premiership club that he kept in the Premier league, to a side in desparate financial trouble, struggling at the foot of the old first division, with overpaid foreign garbage in the side to risk his growing reputation and whole future career just to increase his salary?

You know why he left, I know why he left, lets not play any silly stubborn games.

Look at Wigans position, if it wasn't for BFG pissing PJ off, that would read Bradford City in fourth spot.
And you'd still be supporting them.

I enjoy my job, I get plenty of time off, good holidays, good wages and I have a lot of good mates here. Someone could offer me double the money tomorrow for one where I'd have to work a bit harder and they may be more pressure to perform. I'd not even think twice.I'd be off like a shot. Just like Jagger didn't and anybody with a bit of honesty about them would admit the same.

Do you honestly, honestly believe Richmond was picking the team Johnny?? I'd got you down as having more savvy than that.

Any road, It's only last season that Rhodes went over Todds head by insisting that Jacobs play in a game that Todd hadn't got him down for, where was the outcry then??

The stubborn ones are the ones that don't aknowledge what a set of nuggets we have at the helm now...."cos they're City fans"

Where did I say Richmond was picking the team Chucks?

I think the ' if your contract was up I wouldn't be renewing it' quip aimed at PJ
was more pivotol at PJ's departure than Money.

And bringing in players like Rodrigues and Cadett then telling a rookie manager he's to play them wasn't helpful. It is a darn sight more detrimental to a manager trying be successful, than Julian asking Toddy if he'd consider having Jakes in the squad in a meaningless end of season game.

And if I remember correctly it was Todd whom said he never even comtemplated not playing him.

Oh before you say he was told to say this, I tell you one thing about Toddy he won't be bullied by anyone, tough as old boots and as stubborn as you ( well nearly)

Well as I've said before Chuckle, I agree with you about the "Calibre" of people we have in the boardroom, but I realise if we all took the same stand as you, JR(At present the only one who appears to be financing our club) & BCFC wouldn't be around by the end of the season!...FACT;)

The best way to "get rid" of certain undesirables in the VP boardroom is surely for City to become more attractive to outside buyers/investors which at the moment isn't gonna happen while we are in League One with "average" gates & stay-away fans:mad:
