Rix role remains in question
08/02/2006 - 08:55:49Vladimir Romanov’s spokesman Charlie Mann could not give assurances that Hearts head coach Graham Rix has complete control over first team selection.
Jambos captain Steven Pressley was due to hold a players’ meeting this morning amid reports Rix is no longer picking the team.
Hearts made six changes for the match against Dundee United which ended in a 1-1 draw last night.
And, asked if Rix or majority shareholder Romanov was in charge of team selection, Mann told BBC Radio Four’s Today programme: “Graham Rix is the first team coach and Graham is the man who should make any statements about who picks the football team.
“I know there are discussions between the two and that is as much as I know at this time.
“Mr Romanov has a regular debate with Graham Rix on team issues after matches and that’s the key point, it’s after matches.”
