Hearts are taking the next step now but that next step needed a clear-out. My departure helped clear the decks and I think it has been the best thing for Hearts.

It's going to be a long, hard slog now.
For some strange reason the cup competition does not bring the same pressure that the league does at this moment in time, so therefore the players relax a little bit, play a bit more off the cuff and don't over-think.
I think the whole thing just needed swept away. It started again with somebody new just changing the emphasis. George [Burley] coming in at the same time as Mr Romanov and having no thoughts in his head about Celtic or Rangers has been a great help to them.
We had chances to go in front and give ourselves a more comfortable evening but we didn't do that.
