AllyjamboDerbyshire Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I just wish that, on the day before the Cup Final, she had said that the season had been a complete failure, CL was getting sacked, there would be a complete clear out of the useless squad we have and that the club was going to spend, spend, spend during the close season. It's always the best policy to demotivate a manager and his players in the run up to a cup final by saying they weren't good enough, while, at the same time, advertising the fact you intend spending money on new players. I just can't get my head round why she didn't say all this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a result that every Hearts supporter dreaded not happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) Not much wrong with Budge's statement. People don't seem to realise this season HAS been an improvement, however fine the margins are. More wins, more points, cup records all to mention. End of the day, if tomorrow goes to plan, no one can really berate us this season. People forget that in 2012, we were relatively shite. EDIT: We amassed 1 more point in 2012, than we did this season. The fan in us views that team as legends and rightly so. The critic says that team were as average as this team.

macker1874 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 If it wasn't for the split we would have finished 9th she knows business but she doesn't know football if that was any other team the manager would have been sacked by now. She's deluded when it comes to Craig and says he's not bombproof that shows right enough when she says she's happy with him because we got to a semi final and a final cups are a bonus for me league is a priority.

Bull's-eye Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 A football club owner with realistic expectation. If she paid attention to the moon howlers on here, we'd have a new manager every second week and we'd need at least 300 players every transfer window.

Yes, we finished 6th, but that was only due to a freakishly good start. Our form since the end of October would have seen us easily bottom six and possibly worse. To assert that it will have been a good season if we win a one-off cup game seems akin to papering over some very sizable cracks. Bollocks, it was a freakishly high amount of injuries to key players that saw our form drop and no way would we have finished 6th without this.

oh ah grantona Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 To not be disappointed with season really is poor. The league and recent form has been awful and we should be looking at Change regardless of Saturday result. IMO Levein has laid a base that he can't take any further and again I think we really only need 3/4 players so it is quiet in terms of last year. The cup runs couldn't have been easier we are 6th in league and we have only played 1 team ranked above us and we lost convincenly. We have a chance to make amends Saturday and hopefully we do. Winning the cup would remove all doubters of CL ( there are many) of his spell at club. League campaign fell apart really on the loss of 1 man & that's poor management Cup campaigns COVE early season struggle ineligible player that a DOF should be on top of. RAITH Must win very very laboured draw Cowdenbeath standard victory ICT very good performance Dunfermline Another poor performance but job done Motherwell great performance Celtic up against as soon as naisy off he went down holding knee the game b4 at Dundee he should have been subbed then bad management ( will never know if made a difference) Livi a drab drab match job done A.
