Francis Albert Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Sorry I thought you wanted us to emulate CPR and Vlad.vlad left us without about the same debt he inherited. That would do me for ann/Foh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paolo Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Good idea let's build up the debt again. Should be easy enough to get up to about ?20M by the end of next season. Who should we sign first ? Is that our oklymrwo options for the future? ?20m debt, which most of, Vlad dodnnot build up, or mediocrity. I am hoping for st least some success, whilst retaining stability. You never know. Still might happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad von Carstein Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 While in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter that much, it is a trifle tedious that there has been zero feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC_Hearts Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I'd like to think the delay is due to the FOH guys being busy sorting out issues with the website such as pledge amounts shown being wrong or pledges not being taken? Unfortunately no feed back on that either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTBCAL Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Christ, we will be electing a new chairman and the fans will have bought Anne Budge out by the time the notes are posted..... I do appreciate these things take time but it might be an idea to reach out to see if someone can help with the notes going forward? I'm off work recovering from an op and pretty much house bound so I would have been willing to help. However, I am sure it will be worth the wait.

Jambo dans les Pyrenees Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I've chased twice for a response to this thread over the last couple of weeks, and have no intention of doing so again. I made a contribution to the questions, as did others, and feel a bit disappointed on this. On a wider but related note, I think the communication and engagement from the FOH generally is in need of much improvement. Dave, with all due respect, previous posts on this thread confirm at least 4 members of JKB were scheduled to attend this meeting, so while I take your feedback that unforeseen incidents have impacted one or some of those present to prevent a de-brief, I assume not everyone for all of the last 5-6 weeks. I'm oot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott herbertson Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 When the very first Kickback Q@A session took place in the 90s- in the dark days of Chris Robinson and the SMG money, we had 4 of us at the meeting but agreed one of us took the minutes.She asked very few questions (us mouthy males did that bit). We had them circulated amongst ourselves for accuracy testing and out within a few days despite it being a long meeting. We were fortunate enough that the person who took the notes had some skills - she worked in an admin capacity for Leslie Deans IIRC - but I think it would have been very difficult without someone being specifically allocated that task. Perhaps when these sessions are set up in future as well as the volunteers to do the questioning (who should be focusing on getting the best out of the session with follow up questions etc) we should also be asking for a volunteer to take the notes only - I am sure there would be people interested enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a few tonight GA so apologies if you feel I was wrong bumping this back up. No offence was meant. Dave I agree with what GA says you guys do give up a lot of free time and I wasn't harrassing you. One question though. I know you had Ann a few years back but that was then. Could the question be asked if she had a bit of spare time maybe answer a few questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC_Hearts Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 To be honest this forum appears to be the only way to get a response about issues relating to the Foundation of Hearts. Emails are continually unanswered and if you're lucky enough to receive an answer it is a "glib" response. The upcoming week will be interesting from my perspective as if, despite my continual emails, my payment is not taken I am of the mind to think that my payment is no longer required and as such I will no longer be interested. This from a person who has contributed from day one but is fed up being brushed off by nothing statements unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagger Is Back Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Don't see the problem waiting to be honest. It's not like we're in a race against the clock. Would it be an idea to video the interviews in the future? If we pass questions to the interviewee beforehand, I don't see much of an issue. It would mean the interview being available to a wider audience and more quickly too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This from a person who has contributed from day one but is fed up being brushed off by nothing statements unfortunately. That would be unfortunate to be honest. Like this forum, FoH is run by unpaid volunteers whose main attribute is that they are Hearts supporters so it's hard to be as efficient as commercial organisations ( not that they are always efficient in my experience ). Hopefully, you will stick with helping the foundation financially as I personally think it's vital that we all do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
