Yep, get her to ****.
 

Don’t even enjoy supporting Hearts anymore.

You & I both. 

Not for years now.

 

if Neilson is manager next term, I’ll not renew for the first time in my life. 

 

It’s really that simple.

 

I couldn’t bring myself to enter my debit card details for two ST’s whilst this utter clown is in charge.

 

One must also imagine the players are potentially downing tools, so bad a result that is. 

 

But his headline making losses are so many, he’s patently not the man to secure any kind of normality. 
 

Worse than Levein and as bad as Cathro. 

 

Budge needs to retire from it all too.

Been saying it for months now, we are not going anywhere under budge, infact she is now seriously damaging the reputation of HMFC.

Please feck off now mrs budge and take Robbie with you!!

[sandylejambo]

I am hopefull she'll bin him in the morning, if she does then she' back in the good books, if she does not then it's time for her to go.

[Famous 1874]

Ann Budge loses every ounce of any respect that I had left for her (clue - not a lot) if she fails to sack Robbie Neilson by close of play tomorrow. 

 

Genuinely unbelievable if he survives this. He’s clearly lost the vast majority of the fans. Is anyone stick backing him? And I also believe that people have finally woken up and realised Budge is a major part of the problem. I have wanted her out for years.

I'm sorry but how can folk still trot out the excuse "If it was not for her we wouldn't have a club". 

 

Fair enough she stepped in when no one else looked likely. Fair enough she has gotten us into a healthy financial position. 

 

But we are a FOOTBALL CLUB. We need forward thinking individuals that will take us to the next level (that with our infrastructure we are more than capable of reaching btw). 

 

Your two "fair enoughs" kind of make a mockery of your first sentence.

That's about where I'm at although it still might not get her in my good books for long, you are correct , if she can't see it's time for a managerial change and a good part of the support are really pissed then she just doesn't get it!

[glynnlondon]

I'll say this for her era though , the ability of Hearts under her watch to find lower and lower rock bottoms every season is ****ing impressive.

Wonder what gems she has in store for us next season.

Oh god please no! What a thought! I hope the majority of hearts fans don't renew season tickets in high numbers if she sticks by robbie 0-0son, would be the best way for us to force her hand.

[Valois No1]

She must sack Robbie and she must leave the club as well. Her record on the pitch is a disgrace.

[Geoff Kilpatrick]

FoH could complete the share transfer and remove Budge today.

 

Why they don't is baffling.

He won't be sacked by her. 

 

He has just led us to the worst result in our history but he will still be in that dug out on Saturday, guaranteed. 

 

Absolute farce and embarrassment. 

He should have been sacked straight after the game. Just like Levein should have been sacked after the 5-0 defeat to Livingston and just like Cathro should have been sacked at the end of the season instead of being allowed the summer to sign players and then have a disastrous League Cup group stage.

 

Last night is by far the most embarrassing result in the clubs history. Beat by a Highland league side in the 5th tier of Scottish football who have not played a competitive game in 3 months. When you consider that our squad travelled up there the night before and stayed at a hotel to prepare while the entire Brora team would have been working their normal jobs the day of the game, it really does make things even more cringeworthy. 
 

Yet Anne Budge’s view of last night will be “Oh well, you can’t win every game”. Results like last night cannot go unpunished, yet it will be. 
Anne Budge should not be allowed to make one more decision at our football club!

The blame should lie firmly at Neilson’s door.

 

Budge has brought in a manager who who has already won this league with Dundee United (and us previously), so it would be safe to assume (without the benefit of hindsight) he would be able to do so once again with ease given we have better and bigger resources.

 

As soon as Budge has hired Neilson, that’s her job done from a footballing perspective. From there on in, it is up to him and his coaching staff to get us winning and playing like a team perceived to be a class above the rest in this league - which they have failed to do so.

Good sensible post but no point in the rush to blame the world on here. Budge has ensured we will come out of covid unscathed which is her main job. She supplied a new manager to get us out of the championship, one that most though was a sensible, if not inspiring, choice. She brought in Savage who everyone thought was a great move.  Having said all that she really has to act and Robbie has to go. Of course she will never please the OP as it's hard to change her sex (yes I know it can be done)

[pointon]

She better sack him today 

[Selkirkhmfc1874]

She showed she can be decisive getting rid of Gary Locke and Daniel Stendel , she also showed she can be stubborn sticking with Craig Levein but today she's got to show her decisive side and get shot of Robbie Neilson. If she doesn't goodluck selling season tickets this summer.

The mistakes of Cathro , sticking with Levein, and now Neilson has cost the club an absolute fortune between signing absolute duds and paying off coaching staff after making appointments who've been a huge mistake and again it's going to cost us a fortune to sack Neilson.

[allystrachan]

The decision on Stendel was made easier due to the terms of his contract. 
 

She didn’t sack him, she just didn’t renegotiate new terms.

Going to be a big job for the mods this morning merging all the new threads started because its seemingly easier starting new threads to say whats already being said in a dozen other identical ones.

He will survive this. She’ll see last night as one of those things. I’ve been saying for years now that she doesn’t really care about results. They don’t matter to her

Would make a decent name for our next documentary.

She’s shown that she is out of her depth, arrogant, incompetent, disinterested in success and totally, totally unsuitable.

 

That is all.

[Deevers]

Time for her to show some strength of character and leadership and get rid of a Robbie  - and don’t for gods sake go to Levein for suggestions as to who should replace him. There have always been suggestions that it was Levein that pointed her in the direction of bringing Robbie back.

We contribute enough through FoH to easily pay out his contract. If the terms of his contract have a performance clause then he should be off today. Budge is now the problem. Players, coaches and directors are all protected regardless of how they perform. Usually when clubs sink this low it's because of finance but ours is fine. Time to change things at the top.

[jock _turd]

This woman did some good stuff saving the club but since then it has been a total disaster. She is the common denominator over the whole sad series of event since we regained  the SPL . I think she has no idea at all about football and this alone is enough for me to say it is time for her to step aside get someone in charge who know how to run a football club . She could still be a major member of the board but she should have no say whatsoever about football matters. It is not going to be easy from here but we badly need someone who knows what they are doing . She has to step aside and let someone else run the club or we are going to perish .

As for Mr Neilson if he does not resign this morning he is a total charlatan he also has to go... who to replace him short term until the seasons end? Well anybody off the street could do as well as he has been doing.

That was the turning point for me.

 

When every man and his dog could see Levein had to be sacked (and had been the case for some time) she referred to unhappy fans as “a pile”, if I remember correctly. All because she didn’t want to sack her best pal and “he would know when to leave”.

 

As you say, ******* clueless and insulting the fan base with her ****.

That’s where I’m at... last night should be the final nail of many nails. It won’t be.  
Sacking Robbie would be the easy thing to do, we don’t do knee jerk reactions... we have a plan ... look it’s on a wall on a PowerPoint, didn’t Agness do well to get this on one slide. This is just a headwind and we will get through it together.  A retired business woman who has no business being in football. 

The grotesque overspend on main stand - new pitches - squad - non football related priorities - progressive agenda (too much too soon) - the failing academy. 

The fans have paid for the majority of this, wasn’t it 3 years and we owned a debt free club???... why don’t we ?
She is as stubborn as she is incompetent.

I know, because I have an understanding of company law. What would it take for you to accept the clear explanations that have been provided by several posters?

 

You've had Comapnies Act quoted at you. So here is a question for you. What part of the FOH/club agreement do you think prevents FoH from making use of the provisions of the Companies Act?

I admit it was some time ago, but I have read the papers.

They are quite explicit about what the FoH cannot do and very quiet on what it can do. We cannot hire and fire the manager for instance.

They are also quiet on who actually leads the club forward other than the board on which FoH have a minority and 'someone' influences/ controls. It has always been destined for a squabble and I refer back to Blackburn and Jack Walkers charity being overturned within a few years!

The barrackroom lawyers say company law will kick in, that is a maybes aye maybes naw as there is an agreement in place? Our last legal challenge to a pre-determined agreement went well eh! How long did that take and how much did that cost?

My reading was that the existing shareholders had some kind of preference shares, when in fact their shares were absolutely worthless and should have been absorbed into FoH!

What you are implying is that Budgie has retained control for her own aims/ purposes even after having been repaid almost all sums due and the remainder lying in a bank account and FoH are complicit!

[Rannoch]

I like Budge and she has done great things on the business side for the club. However she has a high tolerance for failure and humiliation on the football side. It’s this I fear most. There does not seem to be a level of degradation she will not accept.
