eyesandears Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 5 minutes ago, McCrae said: I think she needs to move away from operational control at the club. I could see her dealing with and trying to find new benefactors as a chair person. The culture she has created at the club has to change. She is now becoming Rod Petrie. He found it very difficult to release any control at Hibs but eventually had to employ a CEO in Dempster as he was failing so badly. Ann needs to either remain as Chairman and appoint a CEO or she needs to leave. The problem is she won't be able to keep her hands off the tiller and I suspect it will be difficult for any proper CEO to work for her as Chairman. She is in danger of once again dithering in a crucial decision for the club. Took too long to bin Levein and now in danger of taking too long to remove herself and appoint a capable football CEO.

If you'd had a crystal ball 6 years ago, would you have said let's not bother with Ann Budge, let's just let the club go under? No of course not, like I said I am extremely grateful for her work. however as I said what she done 6 years ago is in the past. What she has been in charge and oversaw for since October 2018 is enough for me to let her go. The football department is a shambles and she has a massive piece of responsibility for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calebs Grandad Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Personally I’d like to see her step aside but what then? Who takes her place? Do any others appointed by her outwith the playing staff and coaches also leave? We are not in the best position at present and my worry would be who decides on a replacement as there is no guarantee of success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. If we go down we will need to make some pretty savage cuts, starting with the money we are putting into women’s football. We can’t afford it .

Romanov came in and we were already in a mess, won two Scottish cups. Budge has seriously mismanaged the club, all very well doing good things off the park but the only thing that matters is on the park and that has been nothing short of shambolic. To get relegated with the 4th biggest budget and turnover of players is just as bad. Edited February 15, 2020 by HMFC86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ToqueJambo Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 We're in a relegation dogfight FFS. Who cares who's running the club. It won't make a blind bit of difference until we know where we are next year. Although, I hope Budge stays either way. There's not exactly a huge pool of football club CEOs and owners just hanging around waiting for us to call them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardboardcutout Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 AB will be judged on decisions which were hers to make such as DS and subsequently the teams success or not.

I certainly don’t do knee jerk reactions but we are in serious serious trouble with no sign of being capable of getting out of it. yes she had done some good things on the business side but the part that makes us a football club, has been badly badly mismanaged. If she was running a hospitality company then great. But that’s surely second in importance to the football side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamstomorrow Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Personally I don't see why AB is getting a hard time here. She sacked CL eventually. Fans wanted Dan Stendel . . . we got Dan Stendel. Stendel wanted his own staff . . . he got his own staff. Dan wanted his own players . . . he got his own players! Yes, today's result was disappointing and we are pissed off, but it's not AB that gave Hamilton the first goal, a goal that in 50 years of watching Hearts, must have been the most blatant offside goal I have ever seen. This was followed by in my view, a rather soft penalty. Give the wummin a break will ye! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
