A club that doesn't need huge turnovers of playing staff every single year and a club that values the tens of thousands like me who do feel it.

I wouldn't trust them if they told me today is Thursday. We have a board more interested in telling everyone our restaurant is the best in Edinburgh while our football team on the park is as bad as I can remember. We as fans are in the terrible situation whereby we can't make our voices heard due to a pandemic and we are forced to watch the same shite every week that we have been watching for 3 years now. It's tiresome, extremely tiresome. Budge has to go. She has turned Tynecastle into a library, the team into worse than a pub team and if it wasn't for the money her rich friends have stapped into the club a complete and utter failure. We are left with a shiny stand that resembles an office block rather than a football club. Even that isn't finished! I am done with the headspace Hearts have taken up in my head for too long now. The only way to make change is to hit them in the pocket unfortunately and with regret I am out financially until we have new ownership and a new football structure. If you keep repeating the mistakes of the past, you will never move forward. Hearts, Hearts, Glorious Hearts. Oh for a 'like' button on here. Read it and weep folks; Zico's nailed it completely.

shaun.lawson Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 The other thing that's so offensive about the statement is the implication that winning the worst Championship ever seen after playing like shit all season long is 'success'. Success? Success?! Because y'know, Alloa and Arbroath are never easy places to go. :rollseyes: :rollseyes: :rollseyes: 'This is unacceptable! Unacceptable I tell you!'

Geoff Kilpatrick Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I had to go and check that FoH actually made a statement as the invisibility cloak they wear seems to be permanently enveloping them. I'm actually glad they acknowledge the pledge cancellations because that is a tangible response that people feel in control of. A root and branch clear out at every level of HMFC is needed.

Starts by saying the performance and result were unacceptable. Ends by saying we just need to accept it. If it is unacceptable, don't accept it and take action instead. "Everyone associated with the Club feels let down." Well some of them shouldn't feel let down, because some of them were the ones that did the letting down. I've said before that Budge doesn't have a clue about comms and that is so clear again. It read's as if it has only been put out because of the threat of a protest and wanting to ensure the club has been seen to have done something. But by doing so they have further alienated he fans. It is hardly high-level comms strategy to understand that if they felt they needed to ask fans to stay away, they should have split it into two statements. Put a statement out today addressing the anger of the fans. Then put a statement out tomorrow asking fans to stay away. It feels like every time something like this happens they thing 'what is the way we can communicate in the most antagonistic way'. Of course, FOH then repeat all the same mistakes in their identikit message. They also think something is 'unacceptable' but don't seem to want to do anything about it. The statement talks about the fans as 'they' when FOH is a fans group, so should be talking about 'we' the fans. Then also feel the need to dedicate one of their three paragraphs to ask fans to stay away. Why? That message has already been sent out by the club, there is no need for FOH to repeat it. Again it just alienates the supporters. The club is run by amateurs who seem to know nothing about running a football club or running a customer facing business. So depressing.

Armageddon Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 The FoH statement is arselickingly shite IMO - there's absolutely no strength in their words after our worst ever result. FoH should be making me feel like I want to add to my pledge as opposed to me feeling like they're in Ann’s back pocket. Robbie blames the relegation, GMS, Halliday, Kaesteneer and Gnando are all his top boys 🤣🤣 Walker I do not blame, sits on the bench each week, digs Robbie out the shite and is then back on the bench, a shite drive up to Brora and he gives him a token start - Robbie is a prick, total clueless prick.

He is a lucky lucky guy, because if someone at the club had the backbone to rightfully pull the trigger, he would be looking at League 1 for his next club. Disgraceful all round.

We’ve included what looks like mild criticism/concern, the same as her, but we don’t mean it and none of it is aimed at her. Please don’t ask us to do anything meaningful. Anyway, pass the gravy Donald.” Stopped reading it when it started "We welcome the statement"......just glossed over the rest.....Patsy's the pair of them...

Danny Wilde Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) Thinking back to previous club boards that were failing the club this badly. Some my age will remember being at a raucous public meeting of angry fans in The Penthouse Suite (no go-go dancers that night...) in the late 1970s. Journalist and author, the late John Fairgrieve, spoke with passion to those assembled and was on fire that night. The Bobby Parker board back then was aimlessly circling the drain much like the current one, an underachieving club in decline, yo-yo'ing between the SPL and what was then the 1st Division, as we now threaten to do. Archie Martin came in and steadied the ship, and then Wallace Mercer in after him. I would kill for a Mercer figure right now.

Some my age will remember being at a raucous public meeting of angry fans in The Penthouse Suite (no go-go dancers that night...) in the late 1970s. Journalist and author, the late John Fairgrieve, spoke with passion to those assembled and was on fire that night. The Bobby Parker board back then was aimlessly circling the drain much like the current one, an underachieving club in decline, yo-yo'ing between the SPL and what was then the 1st Division, as we now threaten to do. Archie Martin came in and steadied the ship, and then Wallace Mercer in after him. I would kill for a Mercer figure right now. yep remeber parker shutting up shop early one saturday evening shutter came down quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
