So you agree and you don’t know that’s worrying.

In her eyes Budge has owned this club since she jumped in and saved us. That was 10 years ago.

 

She is as influential now as she was before, it’s her club and her ultimate decisions on the big stuff.
 

Until we can break free from her clutches then we are expected to pony up money and shut up. It’s her board, her people and her money to do what she wants with. 
 

A graceful but clean exit has been needed for years. Zero trophies in her time and dreadful managerial appointments. The last 48 hours is typical. We get the proper identification of a quality manager (analytics game changer) yet can’t make the deal work (her bit).

It’s almost impossible to sack a board but it’s possible to make the case a board member is voted off.

Never going to happen as the FOH in the boards back pocket

How on earth did a nothing to do with Hearts become the chair of the FOH

And I believe Mallon is still standing for re-election even though he is relocating with Tesco down to Newcastle.

I must admit I do not like Mallon and even if he lived in the hotel I would be against his standing. I didn't know that about the others.

Not meet him, but listened to him. He's no doubt like a senior manager in CEC who when you meet him he comes across as very polite and charming, says all the right things required at the time, but when the meeting is over he just falls back into his incompetent, arrogant self. Most CEO's I have meet are all the same.

Kind of neutral in a football supporter kind of way, and few (if any) non-negative posts in his short time as member of JKB... He seems to doing his best to turn the forum against the board/Ann Budge with posts that suggest inside knowledge of Hearts' board that he is clearly making up in an extremely childish manner.

[Star Lizard]

I feel like this thread got off to a strong start as people vented their frustrations at the gutter press reports on the Høgmo talks FAILING (😄) but now that people have had a bit of time to think about it , it is badly running out of steam . Most of the level headed non mentalists that were irritated by the news have all calmed down now , leaving only the absolute bampots and Hibbies to carry the chorus of whining forwards 

 

What we need is another clickbait trolling article from a weegie news outlet to get the pot boiling again

Just a thought to cheer up a Sunday - Hearts fans who are also Scotland fans - of which many of us are, have a real cross to bear.....In the last 32 first class matches Hearts/Scotland have played we have won a combined total of TWO matches (one each) ......at least its Sunny outside

The Board at SFA as culpable as the Board HMFC. Neither have a clue how to go about it all differently. Results just don't lie.

[mellors1874]

Board need told quite clearly on Saturday to get the feck out of the club.

Taking the absolute piss out of us with a Poundland appointment as manager.

Lack of ambition is laughable.

If Ann budge was a bloke she would have had hell of a lot more flak in her 10 years than she has had fact. 3 years ago we had a better quality squad, since then they have had 3 more years of foh money plus euro money yet player recruitment has got worse as money was used for hotel, and as for managers in 10 years basically from craig levein old pals act. Stendel she didnt like cause he wanted to change way club was going. He failed we went down but wasn't exactly helped by board even having craig turning up at riccarton. Now Critch seems to be man and already fanbase is split again. Apart from first spell under Robbie the club and board have never been fully united. For all the good business deals outside, the board don't treat the fans as their customers, the Pr and way we are treated by board is not great, which is poor for club we get told we own which we all know we dont. We don't own anything we are cash cow for board to use money from it, which they do. Do we have any real say, through foh, no, nobody questions board ever, we are paying good money into club that is fan owned, but it isnt, money was used for stand and hotel, now its the training ground next and ran by Ann and board simple who don't care what we say or think its their club, its their decisions and if they muck up its on them.

No but fan pressure led to them demanding more as a club.

Arteta played for arsenal? Club knew him,he was also pep's assistant, pep's ain't hiring shite to be his assistant.

 

Critchley was Liverpool u23 manager moving to Blackpool, in this time frame please tell me what analytics stick out as to what is deemed as a success.

 

His overall promotion season resulted in a 1.60ppg ratio his team getting promoted via the play offs.

 

80 points,did the exact same as stendel next again season was sacked in the championship, despite him not having half his squad sold within him!!!!!

 

Stendels PPG ratio in English League one is 1.96PPG compared to Critchleys 1.60PPG.

 

But Critchley is top of the analytics pick aye okay 🙄🤔.

 

Never has Critchley had a higher PPG ratio than Robbie or Stendel.

 

How's that for analytics mate go check to see if im telling you porkies.

What changed in with the arsenal board though?  Because of fan pressure they didn't look at the likes of Emery again and appointed a rookie?

They do not stick out . That is the whole premise behind the system and what you seem to so spectacularly fail to comprehend

 

The whole point is that they do not stick out . If they stuck out we would not need to use this system to identify them

 

How are you failing to get a handle on this ? It has to be wilful ignorance now . There is no way someone can have the process explained to them by multiple media outlets doing multiple interviews with multiple people and you still not grasp it

I dont need to convince myself of anything . I have followed and digested the information available as best I could from the beginning . I read articles about how the system works from various news outlets from The New York Times to the Edinburgh Evening News . I have watched interviews with McKinlay and read interviews with Blooms right hand man at Brighton explaining how the process works . I have spoken to Brighton supporters and I have read and digested the words of Hearts centric media outlets alongside the more general ones of SKY and the BBC

 

I do not need to convince myself of anything because after digesting all of the available info on this , I had satisfied myself with the appointment being unlikely to be someone I could pick out using YouTube and a months supply of Prime energy drinks 

 

If you had chosen to bother your arse to actually try and understand how the process works , instead of sitting in your jammies convincing yourself that we would appoint someone you identified using Bongovision analytics , then you would not be making yourself look even half as stupid as you are right now with your wilful ignorance 

 

You have repeatedly demonstrated that you do not understand the process at all . You keep going on about Blooms picks as if he he is sitting in a darkened bedroom in front of YouTube just like you . That is not how this works . You would know this if you had spent your time more wisely since the news of Starlizards involvement first broke

 

Honestly man , catch the **** on for the love of Christ , because this is just getting embarrassing now
