Holtie Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I’ve cancelled my pledges but will reinstate once Neilson has gone. I can understand why some people will continue and all credit to them. I’m afraid I am just so completely and utterly scunnered with all aspects of our club these days I feel I have to make a personal stand. I will continue to buy a season ticket, subscribe to Hearts TV and buy merchandise. Mixed message I guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart500 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Its going to be bloody expensive to pay off the current management team and hire someone of better standard (hopefully). I prefer the idea of FoH holding back monthly payments until the new manager is in place. This would mean no overall loss of income provided the current lot are emptied. The protest could be made without people cancelling pledges. I will continue mine as my pledge was for life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only for a month...it'll send the message when Stuart Wallace announces numbers are down in the thousands. Stuart Wallace should tell Budge that no more funds will be released to the club until Neilson’s gone. All seems very simple and would stop the likes of me delaying my monthly donation. Don't believe Mr Wallace has it in him to rock the boat tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacerjoe Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 If you don't like the product on the park then vote with your feet (or pay per view eyes at the moment). For me, FoH is meant to be about owning a piece of the club, and ensuring it's still there for generarions to come. Not something to switch off and on any time things are a bit shit.

OTT Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I'm probably going to cancel it tomorrow. I really don't want to, and I'm not taking any pleasure from it. I can handle one bad result, and very much do see this as a pledge for life. Thing is, I don't think Budge is listening and the degree to which that result was bad cannot be understated enough. Neilson has embarrassed the club at a national level and the only acceptable response is dismissal. I want to give the club a couple of days to fix this but its not looking likely.

best in the land Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Budge has never listened to fans, she has no respect for them. Taking away the money is the only thing that might make her listen. The sooner she's gone the better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pennyjambo22 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I’ve cancelled now for the 2nd time, there won’t be a third.

If Budge goes and Anderson with her, we need every penny, counter productive, it doesn't hurt Budge bar her feelings. No idea why she wants the hassle anyway myself it’s hardly like the fans have caved at the first opportunity in fact they’ve had umpteen opportunities to cave before this it could also be argued that queen ann has left the fans with no other levers so again hardly like a mass exodus of funds for example when hibs win their first Scottish cup in 114 years or we’re relegated or we’re told we can only stand at a goal celebration btw are you still seeing neilson as some sort of shrewd footballing version of a 1980s luca cumani ?

Colonel Kurtz Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Surely FOH could and should set up a suspense account which fans could have their money paid into which does not go to Hearts till Budge and Neilson go.currently she is bleeding the club dry with wages for her cronies.

DS98 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 So when Neilson and Budge are gone, everyone who has stopped will restart their dd’s again? Then what happens when these folk don’t like the next manager? Or the next after him? And so on. This scheme was never about holding the club to ransom, it shouldn’t be used as a bargaining chip. It’s a commitment that protects the future of the club we all love. And like I’ve said it separates us from other clubs fans like Hibs who are all talk and no trousers.

martoon Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Haven't yet, but might. Despite the lack of response today I don't think Neilson will survive this. Inclined to wait and see and make a judgement after the next few days. Won't be renewing my nephews ST, though. He's not bothered anymore. Has told me not to, at least while we can't actually go.

To be fair, if we can be, he is just as bad as most other Scottish managers devoid of imagination, geared for stealth. Be hard pressed to find entertainment anywhere these days.

Made me smile!!! Not surprised when I see some of the names cancelling and there's more than a few interlopers as well. Last night was certainly the worst I've seen from Hearts, considering the "on paper" strength of the team. It is undoubtedly the worst result in the club's history and the only thin thread that Robbie Neilson is hanging by is one based on results and PERFORMANCE between now and the end of the season. Bad performances will cut that thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a personal decision. You don’t speak for me. I am sure that the FOH board members are aware of the fans feeling both on this board and of those who don’t post or read Kickback. However, they have to make their views in private otherwise Heart of Midlothian as a Club and Business would not be able to attract players and even management By the way, once FOH own the shares the Scottish Press will be looking for FOH to fail.
