Hearts - Rob Robertson

Tynecastle Park, the home of Heart of Midlothian Football Club, has been the venue for some of the greatest games in Scottish football history, from European matches and league clashes to relegation battles, cup ties, and fierce derby showdowns with city rivals Hibs. But at the start of the 21st century, as the club plunged into a debt of almost 20 million, it seemed that the famous ground would have to be sold. In this sensational account, the authors reveal the fatal mistakes that forced Hearts into financial difficulties. Having travelled to Lithuania to interview Vladimir Romanov, they paint an intriguing portrait of the man who replaced the controversial Chris Robinson as the biggest single shareholder.
