correct.  See Paulo Sergio.

 

 

Nothing i've seen or heard from Critchley suggests he has no personality or 'Charisma', he talks well,clearly undertsands the game better than you or I.

 

 

 

 

As much as I love Paulo for pumping Hibs in the final his football was pretty pish,in fact i think only JJ and early Burley you could class as 'entertaining' Hearts teams.

 

Cazaba,Neilson,Levein and Naismith were all relatively successful (3rd finishes) but certainly not entertainers.

Rizz, Flair and hair- That's top priority in the new manager.

As an appreciator of aesthetics it is important for me. 

 

Your manager is emblematic of the club. 

 

We used to have intimidating style kings. 

 

Now we've got wee Neil critchley who sounds like some sort of made up nightmare name of a Swindon branch middle manager taken from an outatke of the office season one.

Any hint of a press conference from McKinley or the board? If a deal has been done with bloom which I can only assume is the case seeing as we’ve used his analysis company, then I want to hear what the deal is. That’s even before we speak about the manager appointment. 
 

I’ve supported hearts long enough to know that the board will likely just keep quiet and tell the fans nothing.

Aye right! Hello football world we've got loadsamoney.  Not exactly a good idea for getting rid of our dross and recruiting new players on the cheap.

Absolutely.

 

what happens once the current board have been sent back (and further) will be interesting.

Not sure McKinley came over very well when he said the fans have a ‘privileged position of 2 places on the board’ roughly 6 minutes through.

 

The fans own the club Andrew, your not doing us a favour by allowing them on the board!

 

 

 

PS Totally behind Neil, if you improve players you will be a perfect fit for the young players we are looking to bring in and those already at the club.

McKinley is a classic out of touch CEO - as long as he sucks up to the other members he thinks he will be fine.  He's currently had a nightmare in the last 18 months but as long as the sainted Budge supports him he's safe.

I’m done. 58 yrs I’ve supported Hearts first game in 1968. I’ve seen some shite boards and a helluva really shite managers but at least we had a footballing board of directors not some board more interested in restaurants & hotel curtains. I mean seriously? We put our hard earned cash into the club, sack a manager then replace him with someone who has an equally poor record yet knows hee haw about Scottish football. I’ll visit this thread about Christmas time when everyone is shouting for his head which will follow and more compensation will be paid ala Hibs. Laughing stock board laughing stock club until they’re gone. Embarrassing

I really feel for Critchley to be totally honest. It's really unfair to come into this type of environment. There's an increasing disconnect between members of the Board and the support. That's come across in the staged interview McKinlay did with Borthwick when Naismith was sacked and again today. It isn't a privileged position to have two representatives on the Board when you're fan controlled, Andrew. You increasingly sense the scrutiny of the support infuriates Budge and McKinlay in particular. 

 

There was a hope when we had a change of FoH representation on the HMFC Board that things might change. There's precious little evidence of that. If anything communication between FoH and membership has deteriorated since Mallon came in. If the quest is to seek an identikit from the FoH Director elections who'll be in thrall to the HMFC Board then I'd suggest we're comfortably meeting that objective. The job of the FoH representatives on the HMFC Board is to work collaboratively and ensure supporter sentiment is made clear in a constructive way. If FoH are reticent to engage with membership you're likely to get a CEO coming across as disconnected and dare I say, a little arrogant and aloof.

Do you remember when we hired a manager who had done prison time for having sex with a 15 year old?

It's not scrutiny.  90% of it is bat shit mental, howling at the moon, stupidity.  They're right to dismiss most of it because it's coming from folk who don't have a clue and have lost all grasp of reality.

You hate everything about Hearts, that's crystal clear on all the forums you polute.

 

Doesn't matter what the club does for some people, whether its a woman on the board or hating the New stand, the Womans team, trying to eradicate the Union Jack waving bampots. The haters will hate, the club knows it, we all know it.

 

Its not going to change no matter how many times you trot out the same regurgitated drivel.

 

Enjoy the game on Saturday 😀

He should be sacked for those comments alone. FOH need to remind him who the majority shareholders are.

What if FOH members voted to give all shares to a real person

 

What, then, could that person do with the seat on the Board?

 

Presumably quite a lot, then hand the shares back, presumably, too

The appointment of Naismith, the lack of quality signings in the summer, being unable to afford Shanks renewal, our league position and now this atrocious managerial appointment really has me wondering why I’m contributing to FOH.

The European groups stages, increased revenue from the stand and third highest attendances should mean we are ahead of the other teams alone. The FOH should see us out of sight from the non OF teams.

We should always be proud we saved the club but really struggling to see the benefit of continued direct debits.

These comments certainly don’t help.

Yeah the comments annoyed me tbh. The club should feel privileged to have fans like us.

In all my years as a hearts supporter I can’t ever remember reading such OTT reactions to anything. Jesus wept.  I really do think if we employed some unheard of foreign manager then it would be like pre Cathro levels of tissue excitement. Let’s give this guy a chance ffs. Folk want Blooms system , well we have trust it at some point. 
reality check is we ain’t getting Klopp or Ange.

we are playing in the Scottish league for gods sake.
