If he ends up as boss, fine, but if not the club won't fall apart.

That's where I'm at. I'm not going nuts because a coach I never heard of before a few hours ago didn't become manager. Additionally, even the best clubs have hires leak that don't ultimately happens. That's sports for you.

 

I'm not picking up my pitchfork until we see the final hire.

It’s almost like Hearts are now a nice PR thing doing stuff in the community, hotel, new stadium Pr sponsored and what about the the men’s football team.

£32 for a hideous experience.

 

Worst ground for away fans in the league.

 

But, I'll go next time.

 

Why?

 

Because I wanna be there when we give them a well deserved stuffing, as we really should've done this time.

The Board have almost certainly done a deal that's worth significantly less that what James Anderson has cumulatively introduced in monetary terms to date and that's made little discernible difference and improvement. 

 

The club haven't brought through a single young player who's gone on to be a first team regular or sold a player for serious money in the Budge era.

 

That's a desperate indictment. Anyone that tries to defend that has an extraordinary acceptance of failure. 

 

Absolute bunkum. 

 

The recruitment process we've seen for years has all been about the here and now, we have turned a profit on many players.

 

The club has publicly stated many many many times what it's expectations are . . . . . , and it's met those targets more often than not. 

 

Anybody who doesn't defend the club he or she portays to support, really isn't a supporter in my book.

No offence mate, but I sense you might have a pretty high tolerance for what this Board might be able to inflict and impose upon the support. 

 

They're going to be dragged kicking and screaming towards an experienced managerial appointment. That's abundantly clear. They love a wet behind the ears guy who'll be shit petrified to have the audacity to attempt to manage upwards. They know better and we're all wrong. That's been abundantly clear since the 0-5 Livingston shitfest. Know your role pony up and shut your ****ing hole. We know best as we've displayed for the past 10 years. 

10 years? Don't think Mckinlay,  Anderson & Mallon to name 3 have been on the board that long

The club has publicly stated that its model is based on signing players with a sell on fee and making large profits.  Guys like Atkinson, Rowles, Vargas, Devlin, Beni, Shankland all brought in, 5 of them still here and not a penny received for the other one.  Cochrane, decent return, Hickey sold on the cheap but name these others that we’ve turned a decent profit on? And how are we competing with Aberdeen for player trading the last 5 years?  It’s been an epic fail. 

 

Why do you feel the need to defend the club for everything?  If you’re not employed by them it’s not your job to do that.  Support the team on the pitch by all means but if the board or management team are making a ***** of things what’s wrong with calling them out for it? You don’t owe them anything and they are accountable for it at the end of the day.

Troubling thing is that they make the same mistake again and again. they don't believe they will need to sack their manager so they have no succession plan, absolutely nothing at all...so we always end up with an ex-player as manager. It just happend again and again...Once would be foolish, twice stupid,  but we are on the fourth time now!

Maybe a better/original target came available at the last minute and the board RUTHLESSLY WITHDREW the contract.

But watching the meltdown is the best part!

 

What I've managed to gather from over 30,000 posts in 24 hours, is that we might have made an offer to a manager that nobody has heard of before, and he might have turned us down and nobody knows why the guy that nobody's heard of might have turned us down, but now it's basically so bad that this guy nobody has heard of might have turned us down, that we should sack our entire board and start the club again, because if we don't the world will literally end.

[Leveins Battalion]

Hard to defend them in our current predicament. 

 

 

We have no Sporting Direction,Joe told them in January he was leaving which led to a Summer Recruitment drive from a rookie in Naismith,an ex Postman(but he's cool as he shouts mon the Jambos in videos) and a 30 year old Scout based in Southampton which led to Football Manager/Hibs esque signings like Musa and Salazar.

 

Greame Jones appointed but cannot start until November yet he has zero experience in the Role HMFC have offered him.

 

We have no Manager and all the chat that Mckinlay have about "always bouncing ideas about for every eventuality" looks to be more guff as right now from the outside it looks shambolic,interviews,list to filter bla bla bla.

 

The whole nonsense of 100 applications and we are whittling them down,it's not a cleaning job with the Council ffs.

 

We are rock bottom of the League,went out both the League Cup and Europa Cup with a whimper,have an aging squad,no sellable assets,a Captain who wants away,not won a League game since May!!!!!

 

 

If this is a Boards performing well I'd hate to see a Hearts Board who are performing bad.🤦‍♂️

And the circle of drivel will carry on until such time as we win a football match, then they all vanish.

 

Wonder what they do with their time when we win a few, this place is like a full-time job for some people.

[Finlay James]

Dear god.

 

We identified a target within our wage structure, the goalposts moved and we rightly moved on while looking after the best interests of the club.  Sounds like a pretty great board to me.

 

Dont be sucked in by wee Hibs or Sheep ******s laughing on social media. 

[spirt of 98]

This is pant wetting in the extreme.

 

who at Hearts has confirmed any of this. Also how can we get a new manager in without discussions.

 

Do people think discussions always go well. Hogo might have asked for a bowl of orange m and ms in his dressing room. Who knows.

 

Put your pampers back on and we will worry about who is the new manager not who’s not going to be!

It just proves that the club board have literally zero chance of ever doing anything correctly in the eyes of some absolute balloons.

 

They've gone fullpeltmultipleorgasmic over the thought of a manager they'd never heard off 48 hours ago into slavering wrecks when those dreams have been crushed for no apparent reason.

 

Default setting kicks in and its the entire nameless boards fault.

 

The greatest humour in it, is the predictability, therefore as its most definitely up there as one of the worst threads ever, its also one of the funniest 😀
