Buzzbomb1874 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Between the Chief Executive and the Sporting Director they should be able to see that Neilsons position is untenable. They should be having serious discussions with Budge about the way forward because it is clear that the discontent between the fans and the club is growing game by game . No other fans have contributed in the way we have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCW1976 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) Only ever saw his interview upon appointment. Maybe, also on the BBC documentary Inside Tynecastle (Bowling Club)? I do remember thinking that he seemed far, far to disconnected to the role he was fulfilling. Vlad's reign was brutal in so many ways. This is now as bad (albeit, in a completely different way, but still as hard to deal with). Edited March 27, 2021 by MCW1976 Spelling error.

maroonlegions Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) Budge and her ego are the problem, until she hands the reins over to the FOH things will stay as they are. She is running a holiday camp, for wage thief's, spongers and charlatans. She started off by sucking the fecking life out of the atmosphere at Tynie. Remember she wanted a fecking Tynie that catered for a family day out. She just does not get the hard core supporter. The sooner she fecks off the better. When and If the FOH take over they better get their finger out to clear the utter wage thief's and jokers from our club. She is in for a shock when the STs go on sale.

Lets leave aside the FOH subscriptions - which should never be the relied upon model for funding for the club... folk will stop buying season tickets if we are shite.. just like every other club in the land ? Whats different about us that means we’ll implode without FoH? If you employ the wrong people and perform badly you will drop down the league and drop income and suffer and will need to cut cloth accordingly... it’s fairly straightforward..

That would be highly unusual to say the least. A CEO is responsible for the operating structure of a company and all ‘executive’ roles report to the CEO, so that would mean the SD and RN (unless he reports in to the SD) so the CEO is ultimately responsible for hiring and firing and overall performance of Heart of Midlothian Football Club. Of course if RN reports to the SD then we should be hearing more from Savage. AB is now ‘just’ the Chair and responsible for the Board of Directors, not operational roles. So he SHOULD be the main man so to speak, at least on paper which makes it all the more puzzling why it’s still the Budge show. It also makes sense when she announced the changes to the structure that it would mean her taking less of a hands in role. The CEO should be the one making statements and doing interviews around the overall direction of the club in my view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
