George Burley Training Quotations

He's getting sharper and fitter so it's been a good for thing for him to be able to do more training before our next game against Celtic.

Michal will hopefully start some light training this week but Saturday will probably be too early.

Julien is still having some tests done but he's going home for the weekend and will hopefully start training with us on Tuesday.

He should be able to start training next week all going well which is good news as initially we thought it could have been a cracked rib because he was passing blood and was in a lot of pain. That's why the hospital kept him in overnight, but all going well he will now come into contention for the Celtic match.

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.

I'm at my best on the training ground and my role at Southampton will allow me to concentrate on that. Clive and I have had detailed discussions on how we will work together and I'm excited at the prospect.
