You can deflect away from the facts all you want and lash out at everyone else for it but Ann Budge needs to go asap. It’s likely Ann Budges pals will be keeping our club afloat over the next few months. I’d suggest we do what we can to keep them on board and supporting the club. Until this rides out and we’re back playing - whenever or wherever that may be, I’m happy to have her at the club. She can appoint a CEO at a time of her choosing. I say all of the above as someone who has heavily criticised her running of the football club. Survival the name of the game here and we stand a better chance with AB remaining at the club in the short term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SectionDJambo Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 6 minutes ago, johnthomas said: Gordon saying there was no vote relegating Hearts ! Yet there was a vote which did relegate us Refers to the mess we have been for 2 years . No argument but completely irrelevant . Tam MacManus brought Cathro into the debate recently ! How difficult is it to see that this is about us being relegated off the field ? I thought that Gordon was there as a presenter, to ask other people’s views. He never seems to load a question in Hearts favour. Not very balanced stuff from an employee of a national broadcaster. But no surprise there. How can a team be “relegated” when the league’s own rules say that this can only happen after 38 matches have been completed? Hearts were expelled on a vote to give Celtic the title and Aberdeen a European place they hadn’t earned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Done shopping, been for walk round Pentlands and back home in time to listen to Radio Scotland. After hearing the dreadful beginning from Gordon, introducing that colossus of Scottish football Packie Bonnar, and the some pish about 18 or maybe more games to help Hearts out, I Managed to last 2 minutes before switching radio off. Are the Scottish media so ****ing stupid that they fail to realise what has happened here? Do they not realise that clubs are at the brink of failing and that the future of football as we know it is on the line? Answer - Lets to Packie about Celtic deserving to win the league.

Rick Sanchez Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 This has certainly opened my eyes to the hatred my club has from other fans and the media. If this was Hamilton or Ross County getting demoted I wouldn't even think about gloating on twitter pages etc. We're an easy target for some reason. If this was us releasing 16/17 players it would be headline news, big bad hearts are a disgrace etc. You can call it Rangers levels of paranoia, maybe it is, but they can all **** off.
