My point was really getting at you can’t really really use a 9 game management cameo as a comparison for anything especially given we were illegally signing players that were the best quality we have had in last 30-40 years. I agree with your point on the Vlad fantasy spending, you can't compare us now with then. And to be honest I prefer now, it's more representative of what the club is. I was trying to put our start in proper perspective and pointing out my views are based on the whole season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem with that. Full season should be the measure though some on here seem to think this one is already finished. Last few months it’s been very poor however Im nearly 64, I have been present 3 times when we won the cup. If we win it again next week it will be four. I have also been present at two finals when we lost, plus countless semi defeats. Where do you think this season will stack up if we win next week? Top of the league for three months, semi in wee cup, and a big cup win - it’s probably just behind 97/98 in reality. 2005/6 might shade it because of the early season form and the quality of player but the fraud issue discolours it. Yet many on here want owner, manager, players fired. Its strange times really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that there are a few HMFC fans who have said their personal circumstances have changed and finances now available to them mean they have been unable to renew. But you are saying such people aren't really HMFC fans anyway. Is that about the gist of it, i.e. that if someone simply cannot afford to renew this season they were never an HMFC fan anyway. I think he meant reasons "not" attached to finance and circumstances, at least I hope he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_A wehatethehibs Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Ultimately the message from Budge to the fans as chairman, is that 5th and 6th place finishes with dreadful style of football is acceptable and the norm at Hearts. Why renew when there’s every chance it will be the same next season? The numbers, whatever they are, will reflect the fans feeling. I can only speak for myself I am not a season ticket holder and see no attraction to become one. Have we have even had 1 good home performance in the league in 2019? Arguably Aberdeen 2-1 but even that was not actually a good footballing display we just bullied them. Great we’ve signed Naismith but really we need more than that to see the intent on what style of football we are looking to play. What if he is injured for half the season, are we just going to lump it to Uche then and hope for the best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think you can compare Romanov era Hearts so I'm not going to try. This team are nowhere near the 97-98 team, that had a great spine and genuine international class in McCann and Cameron. We were quite unlucky in the league that season as well. If we win the cup then fantastic, that completely changes the complexion of the season and how it will be regarded. It doesn't change the issues on the footballing side though. Style of play, signings who may never play more than a handful of games, an imbalanced squad and an absolute reliance on one player. That for me is a situation that needs addressed and the present incumbents don't look capable of doing it. As far as off the park is concerned it's fantastic, the club has never been in a better place in my lifetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pablo Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I think Mrs Budge thinks everything is rosy in the garden. She thinks we've achieved our targets and have performed well enough. We're soon to announce that annual turnover has topped £15m for the first time, she's delighted. If she does nothing, I think she's going to get a shock with next season's attendance.

I think all of us, or the vast majority of us, haven't ignored the injuries we have had over this season. However, what I do think those injuries have highlighted is that despite the number of players we've signed over the last 3 years for example, there has been no real strength/back up of any nature in depth, whether that be in squad players or in potential options from the academy.

Possibly but I think the real issue was that we had several injuries to the spine of the team which, time-wise, meant we were sub-optimal from late August until now. Berra, Souter, Dunne all injured one after the other, Mitchell and Garucchio both crocked, Smith, Brandon, Godinho all struggling with injury. Up front Uche and Naismith consecutive injuries, think they have only played together about ten times this season. Early season goals were coming from a growing understanding between Uche, Naismith and McLean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be right about ST sales but the cut of date was extended due to the problem with the finance option having to be reorganised. The club normally gives an update on ST sales after the cut off date for renewals. As I say you may well be right in your assumptions but the lack of an update is neither here nor there.

I don't know PJ, that's the company Celtic went with as well and I have heard similar stories about rejections there. The issues with Zebra became apparent in late March and 7 weeks later we still don't have something in place fans can utilise. Other teams had things in place by mid April. With season tickets so important from a budgeting perspective it seems a very slow response to a major issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The budget appears to be unlimited in terms of continually bringing in player after player. Again, despite or probably because of, bringing in 20 last year we are still facing another big clearout. I hope AB is asking serious questions about our flawed recruitment policy and any impact it has on blocking youngsters coming into the team. We've already signed Halkett and Naismith, all going well, and now CL wants another 2 strikers, after paying money for Wighton and bringing in Vanacek. We need a new manager to come in before pre season to have time to assess his squad and, with a fresh pair of eyes, look at who he can work with and who needs moved on. Turn the money tap off Ann and let someone else come in to make a judgement on the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take on board what people are saying about not giving the club money means even worse signings, if that’s possible, but how else are we to show our disgust with what’s happening on the pitch. No matter how the final goes I think there will be a rush as the deadline approaches, it might well be extended again if the finance option isn’t available soon. Budge must surely realise the fans are unhappy, she made her money by listening to her clients and giving them what they wanted. I agree with you. I had a season ticket for 10 seasons but didn't renew last season as the games have been dull for a few seasons now, and won't be getting one this season either. However, I still probably went to around 10 home games last season. Re Ann budge, she only has one year left so will she be bothered with the hassle of making wholesale changes or stick with the easy option of keeping levein and co for another season? My guess is the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a hibee and season ticket holder at the echo dome and subsequently he was the one who mucked up the seat order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think that something untoward is going on that has passed the board and shareholders by at the AGM then spit it out or it can be filed in the same place as the snide innuendo about her relationship with Levein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, despite or probably because of, bringing in 20 last year we are still facing another big clearout. I hope AB is asking serious questions about our flawed recruitment policy and any impact it has on blocking youngsters coming into the team. We've already signed Halkett and Naismith, all going well, and now CL wants another 2 strikers, after paying money for Wighton and bringing in Vanacek. We need a new manager to come in before pre season to have time to assess his squad and, with a fresh pair of eyes, look at who he can work with and who needs moved on. Turn the money tap off Ann and let someone else come in to make a judgement on the squad. We brought in 20 players? How many went the other way? Just so we can cut through the hyperbole.
