That club is a shambles.Pathetic really but a sign of the level they've plummeted to. The bigliness illusion is probably all that's left now and that's predicated on an opinion of jumbos like this.

Certainly big spenders possibly the 3rd biggest and look where that went and what its delivered.

Arguably 2nd biggest administration event in Scottish football history, and number 1 in the biggest Scottish cup shock in history stakes.

2nd biggest capacity stadium in Edinburgh, but they get to be the all important 3rd by having the 3rd biggest pitch in top flight football in the city. It's maybe number 1 as the smallest non EUFA compliant professional pitch in Scotland though.

The last major trophies in the city have all been won by Hibs so I can't think of anything else that quantifies championship Hearts perception of bigliness, or why it's even that important to trumpets like this?

Is the perception all they have left when it really should be an ambition?

Whatever it is jumbos, keep believing, keep increasing the exposure of just how absurd it looks and sounds outside the glass curtain the world calls a window.

Big clubs have decent sized football pitches.

Big clubs don’t lose to Brora..Alloa..Raith..Dunfermline..Peterhead..Dunde e and QOS regularly.

It's that myopic parochialism coupled with the delusional arrogance that stifles them. If they were humble enough to see their position, scrap everything in their set-up and start again they might actually be effective. Can't happen with that regime though, too sure of it's importance.

[007]

The beauty of their situation is that Budge won't be able to justify to herself giving Neilson the boot just now because he is going to win the league comfortably, even if they do stumble their way to the finish. We've seen before how much time Levein got and Cathro before him, who was given the start of the following season.

I can see Neilson going the same way as Cathro, they'll be crap in the league cup and they'll either get knocked out at the group stage or scrape through. Either way, it's quite likely they'll get off to a stuttering start in the league and the pressure will be on straight away to get rid of him. By which time the transfer window would be shut so the replacement would be snookered from the off.

The fans can see this hence the big effort to get Neilson out now, to give the replacement a chance of not being in a relegation battle from the outset. Budge is either too clueless too see it, too stubborn to accept she's picked the wrong guy again, is in denial or it is a combination of the foregoing.

If they don't act now, which I don't think they will, next season has another sh*tshow written all over it. They really need a clearout and a reset with the right guy at the helm. They've been doing the player clearout every season (sometimes even 6 monthly) but because Budge doesn't have a clue about football she keeps picking the wrong guy. They probably need to reset the whole setup, not just players and coaches. I wonder if golf dude knows any better than Budge does. Would be interesting to see who is in his list of contacts in football.

[Andy74]

They spent the summer believing everyone else was to blame for the position they were in.

Could have been a good opportunity for them to reset and address some things but they’ve chosen not to, so chances are they will be a shambles for a while yet.

For me the best laugh was the cup final, where Scotland's number one shot-stopper faced what was then a best of three with a one goal advantage for the Scottish Cup, against what had until then a nervy, buttery-finger youth trainee.

We all know how that one went...

“He's trained as a plumber Is this Budge's final push to get the stand finished”

Made me laugh

He's obviously not the sharpest of tools going there.

Maybe when he was on his plumbing course, he misheard, and thought he had to get Gorgie registered.

[hibstag]

The documentary confirmed all this.

Hearts obviously had a lot of influence over what stayed and what was edited out, so I can only assume the footage of everyone nodding and agreeing with her as she waddled about saying inane nonsense was the very best of it.

My favourite was when she appeared at the desk of an underling and asked “Anything happening that I should know about?”

Anyone who’s had a boss like that knows that you can just string them along until they piss off and you get back to playing candy crush or whatever.

Its what wasn't in it that made this documentary funny,

it was full of office staff walking Stendal about in case he bolted or Locke talking rubbish or 'queen' Ann in loads of staged scenes like mentioned above.

meanwhile just out of shot the club captain was being emptied, a couple of journeymen german footballers were arriving to aid and implement the fabled regime change that the sacked barnsley manager could not deliver. Obika was firing it in and Anne was left plotting the downfall of the corrupt SPFL and reorganising football to suit hearts,,, the best bit that i am surprised they never edited out was the gokarting when the assistant was introduced to several unimpressed looking senior pros

[147lothian]

They had someone from the Federation of Hearts on the Sportsound on Saturday.

It's like the Judean People's Front.

I can just see them attend their AGM armed with a bag of bun's, anyone who call's someone from the Judean People's Front a member of the Judean Popular Front or worst still Popular Front for the Liberation of Judea who they see as "splitters" being pelted. They probably think they have moved on because they are not slapping them on the head with a large fish anymore.

Yeah, they couldn’t fit that in because they needed 10 minutes for the marquee on the centre circle and the worst dining room in Edinburgh.

Clearly, the launch of this magnificent exclusive world first catering experience was the biggest story in Scottish football last year.

i have to say I don’t really understand this FOH thing even after all this time. Do the fans take over the running of the club? Does the queen leave or stay? Do they need to keep donating after they take over?

It seems from the outside looking in that when FOH get the club - do they have a picnic on the plaza and decide what happens next - I just don’t get it all. Maybe I’m daft.

They are taking control. But that doesn't mean fans decide d2d what's going on. It has already been agreed that an exec board will run the club and not the FoH board.

Whether that is Budge or not is neither here nor there, tbh.

They'll be fan owned but it won't be run by the fans. However you can be sure that many of them won't see it that way. They will think they are entitled to make the decisions.

Think of how peed off they are at the moment and multiply it by 10 once they officially own it. They'll be wanting the managers out so often protests at the plaza will be a monthly event.

So I was looking at the table after Raith's win last night. There are 5 games to play and a 10 point gap. I think if they blow the lead they had and drop into the playoff places that would need to be the pinnacle of the banter years shirley? I know it is highly unlikely given how inconsistent the teams below hearts are but just imagine it, hearts lead is down to 2 points and they head to Starks park for the final game of the season, all they need is a draw, but they are overrun by a rampant Raith and Gullan puts 2 past Gordon... We can all dream I suppose!! :greengrin

This post from KB today takes some beating

Neilson honouring the recent hearts tradition of taking over a poor team and making them worse

This one wasnt bad either:-

For those not watching. The good news is we've not missed any sitters, while Dunfermline have put 3 absolute sitters past the post, so we are better than them at not missing sitters. Also, Logan is playing better at right back than White is at left back and we continue to pass the ball sideways before passing it backwards which is probably why we've not missed any sitters. Has to be said, though, that Logan tends to look to play the ball forward so obviously hasn't caught the Hearts virus yet. Long throw ins continue to fall short while long corner kicks continue to be too long and playing with 2 wingers means no crosses are coming in from either side rather than just one, so maybe a bit progress there. My prediction is that if Dunfermline continue to miss sitters we'll get a well earned goalless draw.

This. He actually made them worse than they had been yet seems to have some kind of untouchable status with them. All leveins fault I guess despite the fact he was removed from manager position in October!

And Budge thanked him for taking no salary once football stopped by exercising the clause to end his contract and not telling him. He only found out when he'd heard from elsewhere they'd appointed Neilson and to add insult to injury they'd paid compensation (which arguably the salary he'd waived had gone towards).

Loving how she moved the goalposts re the timing of transferring ownership and used the pandemic preventing them from having a party to celebrate it as the reason. What's the problem with completing the transfer and just delaying the party? There's absolutely no justification in delaying both. I'm surprised that lot aren't kicking up a fuss about it, it's not as if things are going so great over there that's there's no need for a top-down change. I think she's doing a Donald Trump not wanting to relinquish power.

Particularly like the bit in the 1st article where she says it would be a disaster if they go about selling season tickets the wrong way as if she's some kind of expert on the matter. I suppose it's something that's she's maybe learnt a lesson from this season's fiasco.

They need Budge to take a step back and someone else to take the reins but either Budge's ego won't allow it or golf guy doesn't have cojones to, or both.

If golf guy was brought it to run things then it isn't clear what he does because anything that comes out of the club seems to be from Budge but I might just not have seen any of his output in the papers.

Even their own website isn't clear, they've got Budge as the CEO and golf guy as the Chief Executive Officer.

I’m sure it’s very simple and Budge is abundantly clear: she runs the club and the new guy does... other duties.

There will be a desk somewhere with Craig Levein’s name on it, he can use that.

[Col2]

For us Budge has been brilliant, even better than Vlad.

Vlad managed to buy them a couple of trophies but Budge has yet to finish above Hibs in the top league or win a trophy. She has overseen an incredible waste of resources, pissing away £11m of fans money, overspending on a one tier stand by £15m, wasting any advantage they might get from significant benefactor contributions, lined the pockets of her brother in law (Hibs fan) and looked after her family and friends with freebie’s and ego trips.

She has appointed terrible managers and allowed a player recruitment approach that is right up there with the worst.

She has appointed a patsy FOH director (her pal Stuart Wallace) and a CEO who has had zero profile or visibility. She has also ensured a mainly female management layer covering PR, HR, Finance that looked as amateur as a knitting club on that BBC documentary.

She has zero self awareness but her ego will not let her move on, unfinished business and all that. Onwards and upwards Daniel 🤣🤣🤣

Played 182 matches in the top flight. We’ve won only 62 of those matches.

If we fail to finish 3rd next season we will match the worst run outside the top 3 since 1985. If we fail to finish top 4 the following season it will become the worst run outside those places since 1970 to 1985.

Via the FoH (£12 million nearly), James Anderson (£15 million) and yearly season ticket sales (£4.5million roughly a year), the fans/fan have handed over near £60million. That doesn’t include Merch, match day money, streams etc etc. No trophies, one 3rd place finish, 2 seasons in the championship.

97 players signed. 7 transfer fees recouped. 2 transfers of over £1million (Hickey, Sow). Lafferty and Rossi higher end 6 figure sums, the rest minimal 6 figure fees.

1 academy prospect sold (Hickey). All other academy graduates have left at the end of their contracts. As we see with Irving.

0 minutes to anyone under the age of 20 in the league this year.

0 academy prospects making their debut this season. Only 1 last season and 1 the season before.

First ever defeat to Alloa. First defeat to a non league team since 1900. First defeat to Queens and Raith at home for decades. First dropped points to Morton, Arbroath in decades.

2 wins in 10.

This isn’t a blip. This is the club rewriting our own history and not in a good way. This is the club changing our standing within the Scottish game. St Johnstone have won more trophies than us in the past decade and have finished in the top 6 more than us over the last decade. The anger isn’t cause we lost to Brora.

I had a chuckle at one KB poster who clearly wasn't smelling any coffee. They insisted that they didn't have a poor first 11 then went on to list a team for next season that named players in only 9 positions, included Ginnelly (who is on loan from Preston until next month), Souttar (who may or may not recover from his serious, long-term injury), and Haring, Halliday and GMS who have all been rank rotten this season, by most accounts. I'll let him have Gnandouillet, who, although he is 29 and hasn't played at a higher level than Blackpool, hasn't yet been proved a dud.

If we fail to finish 3rd next season we will match the worst run outside the top 3 since 1985. If we fail to finish top 4 the following season it will become the worst run outside those places since 1970 to 1985.

Via the FoH (£12 million nearly), James Anderson (£15 million) and yearly season ticket sales (£4.5million roughly a year), the fans/fan have handed over near £60million. That doesn’t include Merch, match day money, streams etc etc. No trophies, one 3rd place finish, 2 seasons in the championship.

97 players signed. 7 transfer fees recouped. 2 transfers of over £1million (Hickey, Sow). Lafferty and Rossi higher end 6 figure sums, the rest minimal 6 figure fees.

1 academy prospect sold (Hickey). All other academy graduates have left at the end of their contracts. As we see with Irving.

0 minutes to anyone under the age of 20 in the league this year.

0 academy prospects making their debut this season. Only 1 last season and 1 the season before.

First ever defeat to Alloa. First defeat to a non league team since 1900. First defeat to Queens and Raith at home for decades. First dropped points to Morton, Arbroath in decades.

2 wins in 10.

This isn’t a blip. This is the club rewriting our own history and not in a good way. This is the club changing our standing within the Scottish game. St Johnstone have won more trophies than us in the past decade and have finished in the top 6 more than us over the last decade. The anger isn’t cause we lost to Brora. The Brora game was the straw that broke the camels back.

Pretty much word for word what the fan/ podcaster who got on Sportsound tonight with Banderson said.

As an aside, Levein and Pressley covering our match last night followed by John Collins brought in to comment on Hearts predicament tonight. If only they trolled the butt cheeks in the same way

How is that? They tried to get all of Scottish football to bend over and do them a favour because they didn’t like their league position when football was called to a halt, then went to court when they didn’t get their way, delaying preparations for the restart.

Their current troubles are karma, pure and simple.

The bizarre thing is that mr benefactor is clearly a very astute guy. Quite why he’s chucking money away to be wasted by the Gorgie basket case is a mystery.

£20m odd on an unfinished stand with laughable sight line restrictions and other significant flaws, the rest on a very expensive relegation. It’s not even saved any jobs. What kind of return is that?

The thing I find weird about them, sorry, one of the things I find weird about them is that quite a few want the same to happen to them again, in fact some expect it to happen again. In which I mean a rich benefactor come in and spend loads on them without expecting a return. There is a certainly amount of irony in the fact that they themselves have become a benefactor to an extent through FOH. I think this attitude comes from them still to this day believing that they owed all that money to themselves and no one was hurt by their huge list of creditors.
So many still hark back to the days of Vlad when they should be ashamed of what happened to their club in that period, they almost ceased to exist but they revel in it like a over-privileged kid who despite their parents going bankrupt still expect a new BMW for their birthday. They really are a strange group of people.

That still is a worry as they still have over 8000 contributors each month and benefactor's 'investments', thankfully it doesn't look like Budge is going anywhere and there will be plenty more money peed up against the wall in the next couple of years. I am not sure the gorgie faithfully realise how much financial damage this season in the championship is costing them though, they haven't really reduced costs that much and I believe they have a couple of players on around £5k per week, even prize money, there is a £500k drop from 12th in the Premier league to 1st in the Championship. It will be interesting to see how many STs they shift this year if they don't get rid of Robbie. They could turn into more of a financial basket case than they are already.

From what I've heard Billy, Pressley is a good coach but better suited as an assistant.

I was friendly with Kevin James before he emigrated and he always said SP was a really good motivator and a really decent guy. Perhaps those traits better suited as an assistant and a mediator between manager and players.

There doesn't seem to be any concern amongst Jambos that the Budge loan is £5.5m currently (although £2.4m of that is covered by FoH, so the net loan due to Budge is over £3m). With the recent chaos caused by COVID-19 it's entirely possible that this £3m has risen higher during this current season. I can't see how this loan could ever be repaid to Budge, unless it's paid out of further FoH funds or Anderson ponies up and pays Budge's loan off. There's no way it could ever be paid by funds generated from operations.

They really are saving up a lot of financial difficulty for the future and the more people we have here highlighting this fact, the bigger the feeling of schadenfreude we'll be able to experience.

Apparently it was to have the bigliest glass curtain in Scottish football or something? I didn't realise we were competing in glass curtains but there you are. And correct me if I'm wrong, but does the mural on the gable of the flats to the left say "Champions" on it?

Maybe it was to be "Championship" - some serious foreshadowing there.

Now if the vision had been realised it would have been stunning.

Theres a scaffold on the front of the building and the builders, Grigg and Son , have been rebuilding most of the front elevation in stages.

Strangely, there is no building warrant been applied for , for what is a major construction project, so the name of the applicant is not revealed.

As a rough guess it it looks like a £ 200,000 project at least. A drop in the ocean for our super rich council.

It sits its well beside other favours such as selling one and half acres of council land to the Club for their stand project for the sum of £ 1 , and dropping the tram supplement on the project just because they claimed their fans never travelled by tram to the games.

Anyone think of any other financially favours given to them lately ?

I was involved in loads of common repairs, including some pretty funky structural stuff and some where almost 50% of the elevations were rebuilt/replaced, and we never once applied for a Warrant.

At times we would redo a shop/shopfront at ground floor level and separate authorisations were required, but that's not the same thing.

Normally, the main contract would cover the issue of what is termed ‘non negligent damage’ such as damage to surrounding property as a result of such things as piling. Usually, it would specify that the Main Contractor would arrange insurance for the benefit of their client in the event of any claims made against them from such issues.

My understanding is that Hearts decided to (mis)manage the contract themselves and there was no main contractor. The likelihood is that no such insurance was arranged and Hearts will be liable for the costs of reinstatement. There is no way that the Council should be picking up the costs.

Hasn't stopped them in the past.

Yep their much vaunted academy has produced next to hee haw. The Hearts fan on Sportsound last week suggested that not one academy player of theirs had played a single minute of league football this season. What a horrific indictment of their system. The fact that they are releasing the next Andrea Pirlo for nowt at the end of the season is a dagger through the heart for them. What’s worse is that he is remembered as much his for tackle on McGinn as he is for his good goal against Celtic. Pathetic.

They win the league but instead of giving their young players some minutes they go and sign a 33 year old right back until the end of the season.

I hope they go out and buy a dozen more players and add to their already massive wage Bill

Apologies, this is slightly off topic i think as i'm not sure how far back the banter years extends, but did i imagine it or did we have a sort of timeline thread of the utter madness that was Romanov's reign ? I'm trying to convey just how bat***** it all was in a post online and i just know i'm not even scratching the surface.

I have a feeling that the Brora result is going to keep me happy for a while. Quick coffee break at work and just remembered that Brora Rangers beat essentially Hearts first team and that made me smile.
