Teenager is first from Tynecastle to have say on managerial departureHearts forward James Wilson has admitted that the players must share responsibility for the sacking of head coach Neil Critchley as the teenager became the first from his club to publicly address the matter.

Hearts have parted company with head coach Neil Critchley following Saturday’s 1-0 home loss to Dundee. Critchley had been in the job for six months, succeeding Steven Naismith in October. His and assistant Mike Garrity’s departure comes with the Jambos having claimed only one point from their last four William Hill Premiership matches as well as losing out in the semi-final of the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup to Aberdeen last weekend.

Michael Stewart believes it was clear that Neil Critchley did not fit the mould of a Hearts manager from the offset after the club decided to relieve him of his head coach duties. Sportscene was on air as new broke of the decision out of Tynecastle.
