lost in space Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 She seems to be stepping back, appointing Savage and Mckenzie (if that is the name). Pity she didnt appoint these 2 before Neilson. Club would be "owned" by FoH if not for covid. And Budge does not pick team - or have responsibilty for tactics or motivation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Ann should have binned him when he was injured. You guys are a parody on football supporters. The BoJo generation! Colin, I don't blame Ann for the performances on the field but I have come to the acceptance that at a time when, at least in theory, we have never been in a better financial position our club has gone from one screw up to another, whether it be the cost overrun on the stand, the hybrid pitch or whatever. But what is really wearing me down is the football side of things. Here we are five or more years into "the plan" and if anything we're regressing. Seems no lessons are learned, still signing mediocre shite and still (re)employing the old guard. I don't think I have ever openly criticised Ann previously, but as far as the football side of things go it's been a complete shit-show and no end in sight. I "know" her from way back and will always thank her for stepping forward when she did, but there's no getting away from the fact that if she'd run her IT business the way she's run Hearts, chances are she'd have had to give it away. We are a shambles where it counts most ..... on the field, and at a time, with the right guidance, we should be so much better. Years of this and it's wearing me doon.

There's no denying we've been an utter soft touch on the footballing side since she ponied up the cash though, and I'd rather win games than make pals.

JamboAndrew Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 We lose, Budge oot, Neilson is the worst etc... should have appointed Dross/Wright/Robinson and signed Shankland. Any positivity and you're a happy clapper etc... Win, Budge is great, Neilson made great game changing substitutions etc... Can we just divide the forum into two. The same old same old who still bring up Levein and say the same stuff about 'Budge killing the club' etc... can get half and I'll log into the other one. The interesting and insightful chat and comments from some great posters here is getting harder to find and reasonable discussion looks harder to engage in. I find myself skipping more and more in here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d suggest that she is the financial brain and she uses football advisors. on this score she seems to be doing a decent job. She just can’t pick a decent advisor. CL just does not have it anymore and JJ is a legend but getting on in years. They need someone who knows the modern game advising Ann. To be honest I think Hearts have become a place where being shite is accepted. Some of the players are not up for a fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that not enough? If not, she oversaw the development of the new stand. Still not enough responsibility taken? she has guided the club through the pandemic with minimal redundancies allowing us to still put out a team that on paper at least is the envy of all others in our division. Not saying I agree with all her decisions or time taken to make necessary changes. Not saying I even like some of the players we have in our team or the buying policy of Neilson, but I'm not going to accuse her of not taking responsibility!

Maroon Sailor Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Her biggest mistake was her loyalty to Levein. it was clear for a very long time it wasn't working but he really should have done the honourable thing and not put her in to a position like that. There is obviously a mutual admiration between the two so he could've done the right thing by her and the club. Last night was just abysmal and that comes down to everybody involved with the game plan and the execution of it. Both piss poor to say the least. We tend to get beat with that ref but I can't even blame him this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmaroon Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 The "responsibility" lies fair and square with almost all of the players last night, especially in that first half. So Ann, with the team 5 points clear at the top with games in hand, having scored a barrowload of goals at home, with two guys with pace out, plus Boyce, and how we missed Smith, and with fans' favourite Peter Haring (another mediocre signing, eh?) having his worst game in a Hearts shirt, is to blame for last night's result. No doubt she is also to blame for Hearts poor away form that stretches back over at least a decade. She's probably to blame for the Covid-19 pandemic as well.
