Handing over during covid while we were in the championship after demotion would just be setting up the next owner to fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The financial health of clubs will become clearer later on and football isn't out of the wood yet either imo. I still expect her to leave within the next year and if we hadn't been demoted then I think it may have already happened or be happening as we speak. Covid and demotion was quite a dramatic and unforseen event, not many carried on with business as normal. Whether she could have, I don't know but the impact on Hearts and imo Partick was the worst out of all the clubs in Scotland. I don't think that could be argued.

Bazzas right boot Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 4 hours ago, frankblack said: Hearts were every bit as erratic back in the Mercer and Robinson days. For every good season where we qualified for Europe we'd have a mediocre one finishing mid-table, and we had a few seasons where we were even worse e.g. under Tommy McLean and Stevie Frail. The most consistently near the top of the league was in Levein's first spell where we also qualified for the Europa group stages. Yip, and I enjoyed the Mercer days we were very unlucky. The reason I brought it up was that a poster that hates hibs has specifically called us out on losers/ loser mentality winning is everything and seemed irked about a host of clubs that have won trophies during her tenure I pointed out- we won nothing under Mercer and have actually been to more finals under Budge in a shorter time. a host of clubs including Utd, Motherwell, St Mirren and hibs also won cups under Mercers reign. I therefor wondered if he considered Mercers reign as " Fail, fail fail" as well given his criteria or if there are other things at play. Does he also view Doddie as a Failure of a Hearts manager? He's not answered yet. Someone else also pointed out we "aren't skint" now, but rather than a criticism of Budge I think that's a good thing.

So yeah, thanks Ann, we are almost out the other side and that's when it'll be time for you to up sticks. I think there needs to be context looking back at periods in our history. We undoubtedly were the strongest team generally outside the Old Firm from mid 80s until admin. Other teams come and go having their time being 3rd for a season but fall away into obscurity for another decade. We’d maybe have a season slip up, 2 max, but always come back. And before our worst period in the 70s, I’d say Hearts were a constant for most part, pre and post war. Totally agree we are still big underachievers though. I’m not taking up argument with that. But I wouldn’t say the slide we’ve been in for the last few years falls in line with what Hearts are. Not at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is it now or where has it been for the last few years? It's a fair comparison imo. We were on our knees when Budge taken over. I agree with all with you say but the particular poster I posed the question to has highlighted the issue of loser mentality, and winning is everything along with the fact other clubs have won trophies, he then uses this as a platform to hate Budge. I asked him a simple question - Does he feel the same about Mercer? We are not where we should be, that is clear. However we are promoted now after demotion. As I said the question was put to another poster as he has highlight the issues I mentioned a few times, yet under Mercer they existed as well. Maybe he does hate Mercer for the same reasons- that would show consistency. I don't know- he hasn't answered yet. The fight is in the club, just some supporters have gone soft and given up- more a reflection of them than the club imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, He commented something like " we don't even get to play the OF eight times under Budge" In fact, he's correct, because we -under Budge and Robbie kept Rangers down when we got promoted, so in fact he's right, we couldn't play them that season and couldn't manage the 8 games. Last season would have have been the first, but it wasn't as it was incomplete. I also won't discount our wrongful demotion so easily as to include this season. That decision was not played out on a football park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haken Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Quick google: The original meaning of woke is to awaken after sleep but the word now has other social connotations. "By the mid-20th century," says the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), "woke had been extended figuratively to refer to being 'aware' or 'well informed' in a political or cultural sense."
