Forza Cuore Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 She needs / deserves to retire and hand over the reigns. Who to I've no idea. The football side of Hearts isn't working. We are handing over fortunes to FOH and we see nothing for it. Quote
ShedBoy Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 If only she gave every manager a 3yr project 😙 Quote
Robbo-Jambo Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Next season should be pretty mediocre then. She really has no idea on the football side of things. Quote
Lovecraft Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) Anne says cheers for the FOH cash chumps. It means we can piss away loads more money on shite players. What is it so far this year? £250K She must be pissing herself laughing. Edited March 3, 2021 by Lovecraft Quote

tian447 Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 We need to stop trotting out this 3 year / 5 year plan pish. We've been through plenty of them and it's not working. Our immediate short term planning should be to put together the best team we can, play to our strengths, and win games. Once that is sorted, we can start talking about 3/5/10 year plans, but we can't prioritise what the team will look like in seasons to come, especially if the current team is shite and it leads to things like relegation, like it did last year. Bet you that wasn't in any of the 5 year plans we've had so far. We seem far too focused on fantasy, and don't spend enough time in reality. Concentrate on getting it right now, tomorrow, this season, and next season. Not for Season 2022/23. Quote

lost in space Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 So if Neilson doesn't get us promoted, he can have 2 more goes? If we do manage to go up and get relegated again - he gets another year? How stupid. Quote

kingantti1874 Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) I don’t read to much into this type of stuff in all honesty, what would we expect her to say. Like all other managers Neilsons future will be decided by results and the fans will ultimately make that decision , not Ann budge or anyone else. he will get to see this season out without doubt , but if we start badly we will turn the screw, and if he isn’t removed.. the person not doing the removing will also be removed it’s really as simple as that.

leith_dude Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Sensible words from Ann. Mental that she needs to be asked about it given we are on track to meet the target of winning the league. Quote

cunny1874 Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Cant understand some fans that say yes all is good we are winning the league..its a PUB LEAGUE with our budget the question was never will we win the league or not neilson come in and it should of been an easy year (free year) to look at what we have with younger players and add players to that list to start the building now for getting back to 3rd and European football..but no he's brought in terrible players and playing shocking football and not changed anything with team we still look poor home and away and still have no speed in team...so what happens again in summer we see 10 new players come and its same old story they need time...🤡🤡 Quote
The Fonz Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 I think it's pretty clear at this point that she's not remotely fussed about anything that happens on the park (apart from when it's the LA Philharmonic or whatever tearing up the pitch). Malaise forever. Quote
Sertse Posted March 3, 2021 Author Posted March 3, 2021 She's ****ing delusional. When we were trying to fight our way from bottom last season she was on about finishing third. I've honestly 0 faith in the leadership any more. What's she's saying is she doesn't give a flying **** what the fans think or want. Another 3 year plan where we scrape promotion, try to avoid relegation then aim for the illustrious heights of 6th in 2 years. Do other clubs deal with this shite as well? Quote
Gordon Ramsay Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Basically Robbie, the team can perform as shite as you like and you don't need to worry about it. 3 years worth of wages coming your way no matter what. Quote

indianajones Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Massive amounts of respect for Budge. We all owe her a lot. Utter sick of XYZ at the club mouthing off in the press about stuff though. Just do it on the pitch ffs. Quote

Juho_Makela_Goal_Machine Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) Very rich from her saying that clubs are too quick to react. She was months too late in sacking Levein and that's what put us in the position to be demoted. She's acting as if it is the same situation as it was in 2014 and it very much is not. And read the room Ann, seriously. Going on about 3 years when you know that will only make the people who want him gone more angry, its just silly. At some stage she needs to put her hands up and say 'this isn't working, and I need some support to help me with the football side of the club'. But this to me is arrogance based on 1 and a half successful seasons out of 6. Edited March 3, 2021 by Juho_Makela_Goal_Machine Quote

Sertse Posted March 3, 2021 Author Posted March 3, 2021 Playing for Hearts has to be one of the safest jobs in the country honestly. Play as you like, show up if you want. Never get held accountable. I'm honestly appalled our club is being managed like this. Quote
GinRummy Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) She’s said nothing I wouldn’t expect. Backing the manager, the day she doesn’t he won’t be here and spelling out what she expects as a standard, this season, then the next two. Nothing to criticise her for here. Quite like her top as well. Edited March 3, 2021 by GinRummy Quote

OTT Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 51 minutes ago, jonesy said: She must have to look at her decision making processes if she is having to defend yet another manager. This. We're raising legitimate serious concerns, pundits like Stevo are pointing out that they can't understand what we're trying to do and we're playing a league bellow where we should be and are to some degree struggling. Stevenson pointed out that it looks like we're relying on individual bits of quality from Boyce and Walker in an attacking sense, but I also think Gordon defensively. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot going on in the middle. Our defence considering who we have is woeful, our midfield isn't probing or creative enough. Its altogether not good enough for the resources he has at his disposal. And thats before we even start discussing the total absence of young players (with the exception of Irving and occasionally Henderson for some reason). Budge is terrible at holding the football department to a standard. I can appreciate that she wanted a safe pair of hands and taking a step back he is on course to achieve what was set out, but our academy isn't succeeding and we need a much clearer and more structured game plan. Think Gary Mackay pointed out we need to worry less about the opposition and play our own game. Levein suffered from the exact same obsession about nullifying the opposition to the extent that your own play gets bogged down in negativity. My preference is to let him go in the summer and get in someone who can promote youth more effectively. However, that isn't going to happen because this is Budge. He'll the full duration of his deal and we'll just need to live with the eye bleeding dross we're being expected to pay for. Quote

Ibrahim Tall Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) Thing is, if Robbie genuinely has some sort of ‘3 years grace’ period then surely that in itself is a reason so stop playing shitebag tactics and open up a bit? ‘Sideways, play it safe and sneak a win’ football makes sense if you’re under extreme pressure to get results, but if you’ve actually got that freedom it’s idiocy. If we played with the same degree of adventure and urgency as we did last time around in his ‘1st’ season I’d imagine no one would be complaining. Edited March 3, 2021 by Ibrahim Tall Quote
