I've not read through the thread. Hopefully it's people taking the micky out of the original post but no doubt there will be some going along with it with some gems that would make Trump and Musk look sane rational people. 

 

So let's look at what I assume will be the points being made and debunk them. Unless someone has come up with something radically new.

 

1. No football people on the board. 

Fact - our board probably has more people on it who have worked in football than most others.

 

2. Ann is a woman who sold an IT firm years ago.

Fact - She saved the club (always annoys the right people that one). She held (might still do actually) very senior roles in firms and introduced James Anderson to the club.

 

3. The football has been terrible for years!!!

Fact - we are going through our most successful league sequence since the 50s.

 

4. Transfers have been awful!

Fact- Kickback was in unanimous prise of summer transfers. Michael Stewart was ridiculed for suggesting we need pace.

 

5. The hotel will be ridiculed.

Fact - It's been a major success and brings in revenue. (If you're the kind of person who has been against the hotel ask yourself how you managed to get into that position in life?)

 

6. Sarcasm about the womens team.

Fact- sponsor pressure made Man U create a women's team. James Anderson is very instant we take it very seriously. (Again ask yourself how you got into a position where you openly post in public you hate it... says alot about you)

 

7. Digs at Naismith and Robbie 

Fact- two of our most successful managers ever.

 

8. Digs at FOH

Fact- they saved the club with Ann and bought it for us.

 

9. The word amateur will be used alot.

Fact- our board is full of professionals and the club is run incredibly well.

 

10. The penny pinched on PHM

Fact - Nobody knows what happened, who leaked what or why. When it was leaked some people were very critical his record in Japan, the fact he managed a woman's team, his age, the fact he was unknown. A big chunk of people were not happy. Suddenly he became the 2nd coming.

 

We are all annoyed the team is not firing but let's support it and leave the anger misinformed nonsense to Rangers, Celtic and Hibs.

It sounds like he wanted £1m a year after tax, we offered £500k which is all fine. But that surely should’ve been discussed before the interview stage, you dont go for an interview in another country without knowing the wage on offer. 
He looked like an impressive guy, doctorate in football and actually won league titles (we were told by the happy clappers that wasn’t possible to find) so it’s disappointing that an agreement couldn’t be reached. 
But if he knew the wage and tried to coral them at the interview then they made a mistake in going to him as hes not the type of character we supposedly took weeks to source.

He was elected to the board as a director by the members.  The other FoH directors then elected him as chair.  All democratic.

It's amazing they've not all resigned. More than 24 hours have passed since a rumour spread on the Internet and no one from Hearts has explained it or even confirmed that it's not complete BS.

This is the right time for the whole model to be looked at and changed. 1 Director is standing down with maybe more if rumours are to be believed. Mallon moving down to Newcastle.
