(OK maybe one or two of the "Young Team" but I guess that is not who you are referring to, as they have never posted about anything other than how hard done by they were).

kingantti1874 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 The world is full of arseholes.. Hearts fans are no different. Asking a question on here is fair enough.. I questioned a couple of design aesthetics myself.. But to translate that into directly not picking Ann budge. Too many so called fans inside the tent pissing in.. Ann budge should have a statue outside the stadium for what she has done.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting the idea of an Ann Budge statue and criticising for overpromising with regard to the stand are not mutually exclusive events. She has learned one lesson - in the Kilmarnock statement she was careful not to say the stand would be ready for the Partick game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1971fozzy Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I would seriously doubt Ann Budge reads this thread, or if she did that she would be particularly hurt by some of the (very few but persistent and frankly embarrassing ) posters who have complained about everything from window cleaning costs to having letters in the outside crest. Building work is stressful and inevitably puts a strain on people but I seriously doubt she’s wondering if it’s worth it because of a few half empty glass moaners.

scott herbertson Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 23 minutes ago, Groot said: Is it not justified? I’m eternally grateful to what she has done to save the club but that does not make her exempt from scrutiny or criticism if it’s considered merited I fully understand there can be delays on projects, I deal with that every day however in regards to what has happened there’s two scenarios that I can see - 1. We were lied to in regards to the September opening to sell ST’s - I’m fully aware of the situation with the seats and the weather causing delays but that does not excuse the scrambling about we’re doing now to get a barely ready stand over the line 2 months later 2. Inefficient, ineffective or inept Project Management of the job, there’s been issues and they’re not reporting these out accurately which is leaving Mrs Budge exposed with incorrect statements which can’t be fulfilled Lie to me is when you say something knowing it to be untrue. Im willing to give someone who so clearly has our best interests at heart the benefit of the doubt that if she said something she genuinely believed it when she said it. doesnt make her exempt from criticism but to me she’s exempt from insults, direct or implied.

Bowmans_Boot Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 12 minutes ago, Brave Hearts said: Thomaso, that is unbelievable about how Ann is now beginning to feel. A thankless task. Just like yourself and the other posters that have being providing invaluable progress updates and cracking photos of the CONSTRUCTION of the new Main Stand. It's just a massive disappointment that we have had so many folk nitpicking on any subject and very eager to criticise the club. Their non-supportive posts have given a feeling more akin to this being a destructive rather than a constructive achievement by our club and all our supporters. If she is feeling that way then running a football club wasnt the ideal role for her to take. She accepted the plaudits when things were great, she has to take the criticism when things go wrong. Such is any business/life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
