jambovambo Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I know we still might make the top 6 in time for the split, and if we do, that will be because of improved results in the meantime. I dearly hope we do. However, if we don't, then I believe that is the time to start really showing Vlad what we think about the way things are going on and off the field. I think the fans would have the energy for it. We would have something very "concrete" to complain about (first time we'd failed to make the top 6 before the split), which no about of spin could deny. So ... no boycott. But a huge, visible, public, symbolic display of our displeasure at the first home game thereafter. Sadly, of course, there is unlikely to be any live TV of those games. But the press and media vultures will be there anyway. Persoannly, I go for the white flag thing. Could be persuaded by the black flag thing, but it is less visible. After the game - march to Princes St. Thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave 1974 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Which will achieve nothing in the long run. Proper action must be taken in the form of a supporters buy-out headed by elected prominent Hearts-minded business men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali-1874 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I think many fans have already written this season off and have already conceded that we won't make the top six. I think the time to take action will be at the beginning of next season, depending on if we have a decent manager in or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We_are_the_Hearts Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Top 6/Bottom 6 - it makes no difference. The BIG picture is that we need a manager with decent experience who has FULL control of all aspects of the team. Until then the supporters will be frustrated and suspicious and the team will not progress. It was worrying reading Frail saying PRE-SEASON is just about finalised. Who is deciding this?

JamboGraham Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I respect everyones right to protest, I will not join in but I respect anyone who stands up and clearly demonstrates what they would like to see. However, as I asked when protests were mentioned a couple of months ago. If the protest is for a new manager, more communication, investment in squad, etc, etc then the action has a request and possible resolution. However, as I have asked before. If moves to remove or force Romanov from our club are successful; What happens the day after the "victory"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niall1962 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 As has been said i think most jambo's will concede this season. But action should be started now as things will only get worse on current form and waiting till the end of the year will only make romanov think were not serious about takeovers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graemes Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 It is sad to say but i seriously WANT us to be in the bottom six for a number reasons-top 6 will 'water down' the shambles that is our club and some will see it as a 'result' given where we were in December. It should also be used as a way of blooding those younger squad players who deserve a chance without fear of hidings from the old firm. Plus i want to leave the season with a victory against the hobos in our last meeting..sorry for the defeatist attitude but at least that would give me the only warm fuzzy feeling over the summer!

Then a short time later the same. It repetition beyond belief. Groundhog day in Gorgie. Aye - my thoughts exactly mate. Same old same old. We'll give him time to appoint a manager. We'll then give the new manager time to settle in, so we might as well write off the first half of next season while he settles in, then wait and see what he does in the January transfer market. Then we have to give them time to let the imposters we've signed get match fit and settle in with the rest of the team, by which point we'll be at the end of next season. Then we'll wait and see what happens in the close season and so on and so on and so on. Its pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a Game Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I'd like to resurrect this ... You will NOT get meaningful numbers of Hearts fans to take action or protest IN ANY WAY unless and until the club is on the very brink of extinction( and even then you'll have a hard job, just ask around) What you will get long before that is people switching off and not going and then not renewing and just going to selected games or perhaps not at all. A lot of people didnt renew last season but were replaced by the supposed waiting list we had. We no longer have that waiting list and I reckon there is a massive voting with feet and wallets coming this summer unless and until a new manager with the approval of the support is appointed in good time to prepare for next season (and I dont mean two weeks before it starts). We also have a massive lack of quality right now and our squad needs major surgery and a transplant operation before the new manager has a chance of sucess. Perhaps secondary to getting a new manager but a damn close second. Without doing one there is little point in doing the other. I wont be protesting. I'll go along to whatever league games are left at Tynecastle be they top six or bottom six. I think any chance of Europe vanished at St Mirren today so it no longer matters to me where we finish. Not making Europe is a failure for Hearts and it doesnt make it any better or worse to say we only just failed or we failed miserably. I will be considering what actual ACTION (not words that we cant trust anymore but REAL ACTION) the club has taken before I renew my season ticket. I think it is entirely reasonable that we set a date of June 30th for the new manager to be appointed. I certainly wont be renewing before that happens.

Swimmer Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Sooooo you want to protest if we don't make the top 6? I would like to see any kind of protest aimed at more transparency, more honesty and know that when a team is put on the park that it is 100% the managers team. I have no issues with VR selling players and cutting our losses in order to reduce our wage bill and allow us to operate within a sustainable budget. I also want to know that whoever our manager is, that he has the free reign to add to the squad as they see fit and then be reviewed on their ability to manage a football team. We have no divine right to be in the top 6! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bill Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 For me, there is one last chance of 'good will'. ....a manager appointed in the summer. If this happens, and the Jan 1st statement is fulfilled, then I'll be quite happy. I hope we all give it until the summer, but I don't blame you if you don't. If Vlad fails to deliver on the Jan 1st statement; i.e he doesn't give us the manager we need, then he deserves all the wrath he gets. But I'm giving it 'til the summer. Buffalo Bill .

john brownlee Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 another pointless post how many protests have you tried to start since Mr Romanov arrived and more to the point how many have succeeded or end up a comedy act for the weegie press He's here to stay and make Hearts a bigger force and get the better of the GFA and their sisters There's one thing for sure you wont get me kicking hats a round the parking lot at Tynie for the benefit of the parasites Others have tried and failed big style so I've given Mr Romanov my full support along with the Heart of Midlothian and will continue to do so until he leaves or hands over the reigns, at the moment that's not an option Gone yourself Vlad. :5643::5643: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me being missing will not make much of a difference, ten? no chance, one hundred? not likely, one thousand? now you are getting there. I don't think ANYTHING else will work. If the fans stop going, if the revenue stops coming in, he will be forced to act, one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
