George Burley Club Quotations

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.

I feel for the boy but the club has to come first,

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.

The Polish guy was a lad I really wanted to bring to the club because he has smashing ability but unfortunately we've been unable to prise him away. He is a top-class player. One of the best in Poland.

It's a smashing club and the response I've got from people has been very positive. Clive is a world class coach in a different sport. He's looked at different sports but any football club is a team working together, not an individual. Being able to work with Clive can only help me and Southampton.

I left the club in as good a position as it ever has been in,
