HoGwash Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Excellent galvanising statement. I'd like them to go even further and set up a separate legal fighting fund as a statement of intent. If the club don't take legal action, we can easily re-purpose the money. Maybe use it to get Craig a nice leaving gift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought of him running the club once FOH take over ownership gives me the fear. He is a as culpable as Budge is IMO for the situation in which we find ourselves. Hey....small steps eh......let’s deal with the battle in front of us for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said previously, I’ll leave it to the mods to decide whether or not a comment on FoH performance is or is not appropriate on a thread about FoH performance, perhaps you’d be good enough to do the same. In the absence of any censure so far, I’ll say this; the mistakes leaving us in last place by 4 points in March, having just lost a relegation six pointer against a club with a fraction of our resources, leading to probable demotion go back months, some might argue years, and yet I haven’t seen any material review or comment from FoH. The apparent failures of others however, has warranted comment immediately. Edited May 11, 2020 by Pistol1874 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I initially said it is a good statement, but that’s true only insofar as what it chooses to address. I am though, asking why it (or any FoH statement before it) contains no analysis or criticism of those at Hearts who have us in this position, whilst being so quick to criticise those outside the club.

queensferryjambo Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Good statement. For those having sly digs at FOH and Budge in this thread for the time being try put all that shit behind you as hard as that might be. I am not saying forget about any grievances or concerns but there will be plenty of time after this to get back to voicing any discontent. Hopefully the club goes to war now, it certainly sounds like they are rumbling up for it. We need absolute unity among the Hearts fans, FOH and the club right now.

Francis Albert Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 A good statement as almost everyone has said. FoH has always had a penchant for Churchillian turns of phrase - "the greatest fan movement in Scottish football history" and all that. But (you knew that was coming) I think it is a great pity, having spent over £10m, that we haven't taken the final and relatively small step of transferring the shares to FoH in accordance with the FoH/Bidco agreement, and nor is there even any mention of when this will happen. I think the statement would have even more force if it came not from what is currently in effect a large Hearts Supporters Club, but from the 8000 majority fan owners of the club. It is not a rich owner who is being thrown under a bus but 8000 ordinary fans who are exposed to the huge financial consequences of the SPFL and other clubs' actions. (And the argument that continuity is needed in these parlous times doesn't fly … Ann and the current board can and should remain in place at least until the next club AGM and in all probability beyond that).
