Sadly this isn’t an isolated incident. Twice in less than 6 months we’ve went out of a cup competition at the hands of a part time side. Last night was a symptom of the malaise the current regime have allowed to creep in over the last 4 years or so. I agree 100%. There’s something fundamentally wrong at the club.

PapaShango Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Why's he still in a job? Watching Hearts this season just puts me in a bad mood. We are so bad when we probably have the 3rd or 4th biggest budget in Scotland. Something is rotten to the core at Hearts and IMO it's Budge. Get her out and overhaul the whole football and business side of the club. Football comes first, without that everything else falls down. It's about time someone sat her down and told her she needs to make the tough decisions. She's making a healthy sum where she is and is in a position of privilege. Fair enough she saved us but that doesn't give her free reign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Sidebottom Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I have zero confidence whatsoever that Budge actually understands the magnitude of the result last night and will act on it. What does it say about the standards at the club if he is not removed immediately after a result, and more importantly a performance, like that?

credit card Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Enough is enough - P45 time. Sick of the absolute dross being served up to us for good money. He has overseen 3 of the worst results ever for Hearts. Birkirkara, Alloa and Brora Rangers. In all 3 games we were pants. It wasn't a case goalie has a brilliant game, or spawny goals, or dodgy refs - we were mince with no grit in all 3 under his motivational "spell". Seriously Ann get him and all the players coming to end of their contracts told today they too are not fit for the famous Heart of Midlothian. Play the bairns they can't be worse.

Yeah exactly. I think the levein sacking was at a point were even the few that still wanted to give him a chance had given up (similar to Robbie now) as he had a full round of fixtures by that point. Robbie should leave after that result and the way we have been this season. My faith in the board to make it happen is lacking though.

NextGenerationJambo Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 This entire season has been nothing short of an embarrassment. The result last night was just the icing on the cake and unfortunately doesn’t even come as a shock to me and probably many others. I fail to see a single area that Neilson is competent in. We leak goals, we can’t break down teams that have a fraction of our budget, we are poor from set pieces. Can anyone name a single player that has improved as a footballer under Neilson? We have internationalists being made to look utterly average by part time players, teams must absolutely love playing against us. You could forgive it all if we were doing what we set out to do this season and demolishing every team in our path or at the very least, playing out of our skin attempting to do so, instead we’re out both cups to part time opposition and limping over the finish line in the league. After the way we were treated last season, we had a real chance to show people what we are made of as a club, instead we lack the most basic principles of a football team: no passion, no intent, no creativity, pish signings, pish tactics and worst of all, excuses galore. It’s bad now but if we don’t make some big changes we are in very big trouble of getting relegated again (if we make it up) and this time we won’t have an excuse. If Budge had any foresightedness at all she would see we are regressing at an exponential rate. How she can’t see whats unfolding in front of her is genuinely bemusing. She’s clearly an intelligent woman and has shown in the past that’s she’s not scared to be cut-throat, so why now, at a defining time for our club, has she decided that everything is going to “plan”? The silence is deafening and after everything the fans have been through and done for the club we deserve more. I personally won’t cancel my pledge but I don’t blame anyone that decides to because as many have said it’s clearly the only language they speak. Neilson out. Budge out. “Players” out. Or I and many others will be out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micole Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I have been following Hearts for over 60 years, and despite some of the debacles I have witnessed ie Admin, bad defeats to, let's say lesser teams ect I have always always stood up for my team ( probably like many others on here). But for the first time I am embarrassed by my team and it really hurts. So thank you Levein, Neilson, for doing something I never ever thought could happen. As many have said we need a root and branch clear out , but I'm afraid it ain't gonna happen anytime soon. HHGH!!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes getting beaten by your local rivals is bad, but Robbie Neilson is the undisputed master when it comes to breaking records for "worst defeats in history". He takes it to another level time and time again yet Ann Budge just gives him a pat on the back and carries on business as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All roads lead to Gorgie Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 We need to pressure the club by all ways we can. Emails telling them we will not be putting any cash in until the man who has just given us the worst result in our history is removed and there is a proper open process in place to find a manager who really wants to take us to proper success, we all deserve after that after putting up with so much dross for ages now.
