He doesnt do that, though, he also gives praise at times. The simple fact is that many ignore these posts and focus solely on his questioning ones because they do not wish to read anything other than the club being 100% honest, well run and that absolutely everything is perfect. I think we, as a support, should be questioning the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep at the back of your mind that those within the club who have got us to the stage we are at have never had any experience of the likes of this project before. Also keep in mind the benfit of hindsight. One of my problems is my need out of a misplaced sense of politeness to answer questions put directly to me, however stupid. This seems a good time to desist from doing so.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambomuzz Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 1 hour ago, Brave Hearts said: Yup, he certainly seems to have an agenda about the current owners of the club and about everything they do including how the club is being governed and how the club is progressing. In the style of his rhetorical questions, does he have a problem with the club and our owners ?? I don't think there is an agenda at all. His posts do come across as negative, but that is only becuase the questions he is asking are ones everyone else is too scared to ask. People just cross their fingers and hope everything is going to be ok. With communication if there is a problem there's a good chance someone has a solution, so I think he is right asking the questions he does. I'm pretty certain every hearts fan on here wants the club run in the best way possible. FA is no different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty certain every hearts fan on here wants the club run in the best way possible. FA is no different. There's a skill or rather a way of questioning things in a manner that isn't so negative. E.g I question Hearts communications which I say could be improved considerably. See Minnesota Sam Nicholson's team as an example of good comms. But I just say it in a calm factual manner. I don't get into arguments with other posters and I am resolutely positive which is the best way to achieve stuff. Yesterday was funny. The day after the iconic badge went on it was happy hour for the moaners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't understand why Ann thought we needed a new stand, shop and offices. Surely a lick of paint was all that was needed? It's a great reminder to see what it used to be like (and how it had been for as long as I can remember). The transformation is incredible and something we should all feel pride in.

I took a wander past the stand today about 12 and I asked one of the boys outside if he thought it would be ready and he said “Honestly no, but it has to be. There’s no plan B, it has to be ready.” I asked about Murrayfield and he says we’ve supposedly been told we can’t use it. Also said it’s cost £16 million at this moment and due to all of the overtime etc. the company he works for is only breaking even. The health and safety certificate is what he thought would be the sticking point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badge looks superb and lettering sizing is fine when you are at the stand. From side on the look is great even in dull weather. However, front on it's not great, it's not bad just a bit functional looking. As others have said in person the stand is better than any pictures that have been uploaded.
