The Lithuanian revolution marches on

Dear, dear, dear. The BBC website reports:
"Hearts have sacked their head coach Graham Rix, the club has confirmed.
Coach Valdas Ivanauskas has been appointed as his interim replacement, with John McGlynn assisting him.
Rix only took the position in November, following the sacking of the previous head coach, George Burley, after only a few months in the job.
"We have been disappointed with the team's performance. Results were not what they should have been," chairman Roman Romanov told the Hearts website."
...
Director of football Jim Duffy has also been relieved of his duties, having been appointed to the role just a month ago."

It is worth remembering that Hearts are comfortably second in the Premier League and are the favourite of the four semi-finalists to win the Cup. This is probably their best season for donkeys' years.
