"The owner of Hearts, Vladimir Romanov, stated that a conspiracy against his club prevented Edinburgh team from winning the Scottish championship this year. The Lithuanian businessman, speaking during the celebration of Hearts' Scottish Cup victory, said he did not expect people to unite against him to prevent his club from winning the championship. "In my worst nightmares, I never dreamt that this season would unfold like this. I built this team planning to win this league. I truly did not expect everyone to band together against me. I never thought various organizations would hinder me, especially I did not expect problems from the referee's side," expressed V. Romanov his disappointment. However, this is not the first time the Hearts owner expresses his dissatisfaction with various Scottish organizations, especially targeting the press and agents. "In the world of football, there are parasites whose only concern is money. My goal for the next season is to ensure that such parasites do not feed off my club's resources. I am ready to 'sew up my pockets' so that nobody steals money meant for the team," criticized V. Romanov football agents. Asked to comment on Valdas Ivanauskas' future at the club, the Hearts owner again did not answer the question in a particularly friendly manner. "If I decide to keep him at the club, you will say he is a bad coach. If I decide to dismiss him, you will say he is a good coach. So, the press will criticize me no matter what I do. I no longer know what the press wants. Perhaps you want to bring back Graham Rix!" - quipped V. Romanov.
