Francis Albert Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 19 hours ago, Sherbet said: Heard that JJ walked . Not good As far as I am aware the club has not yet acknowledged his departure. They made a bit of a splash about his arrival presumably seeing it as a plus for a somewhat disillusioned support. I think it likely that the parting was not entirely amicable. Hard to explain the silence otherwise given some of the stuff that qualifies as news on the club site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hire their pals and people not up to the jobs. From the club set up to the academy it’s all going in the wrong direction.

With Budge ceding responsibility for day-to-day club business to chief executive Andrew McKinlay, Jefferies has chosen to step away from his consultancy position in what was an amicable parting. Amicable parting meaning they want to do it one way and JJ wants to do it another so good luck to them. Maybe they will be right and JJ wrong. I know who I would put my money on. JJ went in there to do what was right for the club he loves, not for any benefit to himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis Albert Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) Have Hearts ackwledged his departure thanked him and wished him best wishes? Whether he wants it or not the least I would expect of the club. The club made quite a bit of his appointment to get fans on board at a difficult time. WTF is the problem with just saying thanks Jim?

Amicable surely means agreed parting. So why not some public acknowledgement of the parting? One party wanting to to it one way and the other another way doesn't seem terribly amicable.

That is all that was required. When nothing is said - it leaves a void or a doubt. There are those who are happy and willing to fill that void with rumours or lies. Of course they may be correct in that JJ was unhappy. We dont know - which is the problem. McKinlay does not seem to have a clue on PR. Do we have someone who is in charge of PR?

DH1986 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Even if JJ did walk away because he didn’t agree with how things were being run…..it doesn’t mean he’s in the right. And he really can’t say anything about Savage giving people he knows a job…..JJ did exactly that his entire managerial career. Anyone who signs Gary Locke and Lee Makel to play in the English Premiership is certainly no angel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He started 6 league games in 4 months…and was subbed off in the first half in two of those games He actually barely completed a full 90 mins in the majority of matches in his shortish Bradford career.

No idea, it wasn't easy so watch English games in those days, but 38 games and 2 goals at that level isn't bad after his injury troubles. Nice to see a Hearts youth player get a shot at the big time. He was heading for a really good career before his injuries, and still had a very solid one. Edited July 23, 2021 by ToqueJambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
