Taffin Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) We've heard enough waffle and bluster from Ann to last a lifetime already this season. I'd prefer if she focussed her time improving us on the pitch. Edited January 11, 2020 by Taffin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Magic Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 2 hours ago, Section Q said: I know the usual crowd will gather and circle the wagons around Mrs Budge, but we're well into January, 7 points adrift of safety, and quite a few first team regulars are going or gone already without any incoming. The Wolfsburg owner has said our striking target isn't leaving his club, and aside from the Blackburn Rovers striker and a couple of Barnsley squad players, there's very little news coming out of Tynie. ""Anyone in the know.......?"" Perhaps you could email the club? Post the reply on here? We need a giggle 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coburg Hearts Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 1 hour ago, richierich said: I am assuming she has the chequebook out given we have contacted Wolfsburg, Blackburn and Barnsley to try to buy players from them. I can't see us contacting them if she hasn't? If the clubs don't want to sell or the players don't want to come here there's probably much she can do about that at the moment. DS will just need to move on to the next players. It's as simple as this. Do people really think that Stendel is intentionally going slowly slowly? Beggars belief!

pettigrewsstylist Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 3 hours ago, Ex member of the SaS said: Don't think a statement is the answer, however signings with scarf's above heads should be happening NOW! Stendel is quick to dump players he doesn't want so knowing who he does want should be easy enough and we should ( maybe not push the boat out ) be getting the cash book open and getting some work done. If it's down to McPhee and Levein I would suspect a deliberate go slow. We need players in and working with the Stendel system so we are up to speed for the first game. I know Jan is the not best time ( and being bottom doesn't help,) and we want quality not quantity, but other clubs are signing and we always seem to wait until the end of the window and usually end up with crap. Whelan and Berras comments will ring alarm bells for many players when viewed alongside the very good points you make above. We are a hard sell and have limited dosh. Hopefully lots of sweat will be enough. Cant see it personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex member of the SaS Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 2 hours ago, alwaysthereinspirit said: If Stendel wants player A, B and C and Budge tells him he has 3,000, 4,000 and 5,000 pounds to spend should we then spend 6,000, 7,000 and 8,000 pounds to sign them. You say don’t push the boat out but to get the cash book open. Make up my mind. Think we tried going in that “money is no option” direction before. That became the birth of FoH. If you read what I posted. Not push the boat out, as we have been down that road before. However many are saying Budge should be backing Stendel to the limit of our budget.( maybe a little more taken from other budgets as a stop gap ) I was more making the point we should, or rather hopefully should, have had someone concrete by now as we need players who are up to speed for the first game back. We can't afford to wait until the window is closing before we get players in. Hope that clarifies it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busby1985 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I wish Budge had never been so open with us. Some clubs go months, sometimes years without ever hearing from their Chairmen/Owner etx. This childish demand for answers because they think they deserve it is beyond embarrassing. “Hi fan, sorry that we haven’t signed anyone yet or signed the person you had in mind specifically. Sorry we haven’t signed Lafferty and sorry we let go of Edwards. Sorry we failed to sign Shankland. Sorry we haven’t hung Levein on the plaza yet and sorry we are bottom of the league. Yours sincerely Ann Budge”. At the next AGM I really hope someone asks Budge to close the book and go back to how we used to be treated by our owners.

We're facing relegation and we're having to scrimp to improve because clearly the focus on the first team hasn't been in the forefront of the boards mind. Too busy doing this that and the next thing before we've even consolidated our position as Scotlands 3rd biggest side.

Frustrations are running high and I share many of them. None of us like seeing Hearts struggle, Budge included. Has she made mistakes, of course she has. Should she have binned Levein sooner, of course. She has now acted and she now has the man we all think will be successful. Let’s see how the next 4 months play out. I bet between now and then we’ll get updates as to what’s been going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
