Brellier blast for Hearts

French midfielder Julien Brellier has slammed Hearts following his exit from Tynecastle last month.
Brellier ended his two-year stay in Edinburgh after turning down the offer of a new contract and blamed the club's management for his departure.
The 25-year-old also revealed he was behind the statement delivered by Steven Pressley, Craig Gordon and Paul Hartley last season, which criticised the club's majority shareholder Vladimir Romanov.
"I was 100 per cent behind them," he told the Edinburgh Evening News.
"They were right in what they said and they did the right thing. After that, a lot of things changed.
"We lost two very important players, one of them who was the most important figure at the club.
"The way Hearts treat a lot of players and manage the club is not good. Mr Romanov wasn't even there a lot last season, maybe only three or four times.
"He pays all the players so they must do what he wants, but he must not be a dictator."
