I will always be grateful and thankful for AB stepping in when we were in our darkest hour, but I also recognise how flawed her leadership has been over the last several years. As the Boss said....

CalgaryJambo Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I can’t believe people are so negative regarding Mrs Budge. She put put up the cash at our darkest hour and saved the club. Sure the team has underperformed big time in the last couple of years but now is not the time for another round of chaos. Onwards and upwards...

You understand the mess the club was in? not just financial, everything. Not a single thing being done right. And despite all that, we were third in the league a year after she got us going again. I think the problem was we were spoiled. It took SEVCO how long to get back to where they should be? and they had a lot more spare cash than we did to fix problems. The stadium, the pitch, the training facilities, the youth setup, the scouting, the first team, the ability to self support... all an absolute shambles. These things will never be perfect but all still need time for improvement. Outside of the CL saga, she has done a decent enough job. I would much rather her in there than a clueless ex player/manager or some businessman looking to reap whatever rewards he can get from the club. We have people being appointed in the areas she knows she either cannot oversee or is not qualified to oversee. and that should help steady the ship. That's just hearts fans though. Some of them wanted her and Neilson to go when we were sitting second in the SPL. They'll never be happy.

She seems like a nice woman and there is no doubting that she wants what is best for Heart of Midlothian. To the people who want to see her gone from the club I would simply say - be careful what you wish for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has overseen a period of absolute dross, some of the worst squads and football I have witnessed and its down to her leadership. , her blind faith in CL was basically just astounding. As a Hearts fan of over 40 years I cannot quite ever remember being spoilt apart from our European run, which has given me some great memories. Football splits opinoins , I for one wasnt to fussed with RN coming back but he has my full backing , whilst I still believe AB needs to hand over the club as per planned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night and Day to what she inherited and where the club is now. If things are good on the pitch it would be because of the football personnel at the club and not down to her in some people's eyes. If it's garbage it's her fault. Levein ended up being a millstone around her neck and unfortunately that was down to her being too cosy with him.

Surely if there is an argument to replace AB, people know that now is not the time. This is probably right. I’m still a bit pissed that we personally didn’t continue with DS but that’s just a personal opinion and doesn’t mean anything. With the new structure IE McKinlay and Savage in place it appears that AB has recognised that she needs to handover the footballing side to others that know better and that’s good enough for me - the fact that she has recognised this I dont personally think that replacing her is the answer and am more interested in seeing what the new structure will bring and especially where recruitment is concerned Let’s give it a chance and see where it takes us first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pettigrewsstylist Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Think we need to remember how much of a luxury and comfort it is to have jambos owning the club. Any mistakes and disagreements, are just that, and the dialogue and vocab used on here should recognise and reflect that. We are in a good place generally with some serious internal org & squad performance issues which need sorting. The club has achieved things in the last decade i never thought poss in my lifetime. Lets respect fellow jambos. Only Hearts . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should always remember what she has done for us. Maybe she is the wrong person for the job, i don't know, but some of the abuse and name calling is bang out of order. I wouldn’t get to upset on comments , it’s just a forum of varying opinions, some just put out there for a reaction . I think all Hearts fans will always thank her for the initial input of money that ultimately saved us, however I think she has done herself a lot of damage in the way she had governed the club over the last several years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanbauld Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Dont think Budge has much to be blamed for, more the people she put her faith in. She has never said she has a football brain, just a business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt Mrs Budge is a nice person, with everyone's best interest at heart, however she sits at the top of the pile, therefore the buck stops with her, whether that be the football side, forgetting to order the seats for the new stand or poor appointments. Of course, she cannot oversee every activity, she employs people to do specific things. But when it goes wrong the buck stops with her.
