This should be no surprise. She is due to hand the club over to fan ownership and I always felt she would struggle to survive the relegation. No CEO in any industry would survive such gross underperformance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manaliveits105 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 No rush Ann - although Im sure she is exhausted having to deal with the pondlife of Scottish football boards and media . When we win the case she can hand over the reigns at her leisure then float about the Med on her yacht with a glass of vino in her hand whilst phoning into Dick Gordon on Sportsound and asking - where did it all go wrong for me DICK ?

Not really. It's the same miserable folk who have either disliked her since she cruelly sacked Lockie (did not renew his contract when it was up) many moons ago, or since she tried to create a more family atmosphere at Tyncastle. They will never change their minds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Albert Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Good decision on SD. Only sporting priority for next two years is putting a first team on the pitch either to get promotion or avoid repeating the relegation form of last season. That is Neilson's job.

JamboAl Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 It's not clear what division we'll playing in and if it's the Champioship do we really need the luxury of a SD?

mitch41 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Would anyone not want to see Ann Budge give the title of Honorary President of Heart of Midlothian as the Earl of Rosebery was given.

I agree about the money could be used more wisely toward something that needs more attention, the first team. Yeah we need to get a first team sorted before we worry about a future model from having a SD. If we get McCulloch in that would be enough to manage the first team, with already having coaches at other levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get McCulloch in that would be enough to manage the first team, with already having coaches at other levels. And I’d also let Robbie look around and see what he has under his control and point out what could be done better so he could be involved with a SD or other appointment which would also help the new person understand the job involved. I know I’ve said this many times but a new SD should not be superior to a manager within the club the SD has to be someone who supports the managers needs from contracts, scouts, team facilities, travel, equipment, Directors, CEO, media, player appearances, match tickets and so on.

We need to start looking to the future. Maybe we ARE looking to the future. If reports are to be believed, we have a highly rpomising young keeper (Stone) in our ranks but he is a bit young/inexperienced at the moment. So we have signed CG (an international keeper with long experience) to bridge the gap and bring him on, while CG could be getting groomed for a coaching role.. What's wrong with that? I didn't know Robbie had been signed as a player. Tell us more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkDevriesScores4 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Trying to get a Sporting Director in a pandemic where we have next to no income makes little sense.
