They way I look at it, if there’s problems behind the scenes, they’ll surface sooner or later. If the club don’t pull their weight, it’ll show on the pitch and the fans will then, and quite rightly, act accordingly….the way it’s always been. Aye, we live in a different world of communication now and people take what they want from it. It can help but it can also be overcoming. Nothing wrong with keeping a close eye on things because it’s too easy to just trust who’s in charge of Hearts without concern. People take the pish at all levels in life.

Nerja Jambo Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 The only thing I've not heard trotted out yet is the " fan owned but not fan run " excuse. Maybe both HMFC and FOH should remember the first part of that, FAN OWNED. As for fan run, maybe the fans could make a better job of the transfer window than the club are. And for those who had their sense of humour genes removed at birth, that is a joke, a bit like this transfer window. The board have only themselves to blame for all the criticism they are getting.

They're not going to come out and say they are happy with top 6 and if they come out like Savage has in the past and say we are going for the league they either get taken at their word and criticised when it doesn't happen, or the whole club gets laughed at by the rest of Scottish football and a sizeable chunk of our own fans. All you will ever get is a vague version of "we aspire to be the best we can be with the means available to us" it's completely meaningless.

Anne Budge used to regularly give summer updates like what you are looking for. Maybe she is spending more time on her yacht over the summer months like I would if I was worth what she is.

Clearly have a developing problem in regards to the stadium, capacity and supply/demand. Can reduce away allocations all we like, but we're dealing with a ceiling of 19852, it doesn't do too much for the 7k apparently on the season ticket waiting list. Talk of stadium redevelopment is exciting and should for the large part be a positive and encouraging discussion. Would like to see the club at least start by acknowledging the unprecedented demand and long term plan to redevelop the Wheatfield/ rest of the ground.
