9. While Romanov Burns and Bonus - From Russia With Love

Hearts need a saviour again, but with Vladimir Romanov in trouble back home in Lithuania, who will step up?

While Romanov Burns: Hearts are in administration, and for the second time in less than ten years, they are in desperate need of a saviour. At the same time, Vladimir Romanov is facing his own problems as the Lithuanian authorities close in on him and his financial irregularities. Can the club be saved and what does the future hold for the Czar of Hearts?

Bonus - From Russia With Love: In a must-listen interview, the Czar of Hearts, Vladimir Romanov himself chats to Martin Geissler about his time in charge of Hearts and what has happened since he left Edinburgh. Why did you buy Hearts? Why did you sack George Burley? And do you live in a submarine? Martin asks the questions that fans have wanted the answers to for over ten years.
