Hamilton's first goal was one touch then a great finish by miller. Second was terrible defending. They had loads of the ball but didn't create much. A recipe for disaster.Quote:

They are an absolute joke of a club. We need to make sure we don't let ourselves down by helping them out on Boxing Day.Quote:

Their club is being run hilariously at the moment. There's not one thing that Budge has touched that has turned out well for a while now.
Huge overspend on the stand.
£1.5m more needed to finish it (which you can probably stretch out to £2m given the history of their stand spending)
Unable to use the office space for leasing out because of cost v return. This was supposed to be a significant revenue generator for them.
Huge first team squad, expensively assembled and hugely underperforming
A manager who still has a question mark over whether compensation is due to his previous club
Not able to bring in his assistant yet
Can't get rid of Levein or Macphee and are actually giving them key roles until they go
Took too long to get a manager in and then had to go all out to get their target after being knocked back by others
Budge has survived on a huge amount of goodwill and with the additional financial backing of the benefactors and FoH. Can you imagine what nick they'd be in if they'd had to be self-sufficient!?
You just know Budge is having Levein and McPhee round for Christmas dinner eh

So Hearts are going to ship out some of their uninterested squad with a couple of uninterested Stoke rejects on loan in January. It smacks of us telling KT, Tiawo etc they weren't wanted and loaning in duds like Daniel Boeteng, Duncan Watmore and Danny Haynes. Going down.
Duncan Watmore was no dud. Kicked off the park most weeks with little protection from officials.Quote:

As a Hibs fan, I've got to say that's an utterly brilliant idea. 💡
What’s great about them possibly going down this season (like it’s wouldn’t be great anyway[emoji3]) is that they have documentary film makers in catching every little bit of the behind the scenes action for us to enjoy for years to come. [emoji23][emoji106]

Hopefully the time when Leeann and Ron go to get ‘advice’ from Budge will be in it. An hour of Budge spilling the beans about how she runs the place, budgets, targets etc, with LD and Ron nodding politely, followed by Budge full of pride bragging about how people want to come and learn from her.
The Failures.
I'm really looking forward to the bit where the keystone cops play the FOH leaving the AGM when they heard about Levein playing the ghost of Christmas past every week.Quote:

Shame it's not Netflix doing it.
With Hearts being such a big club it really deserves a worldwide audience.
£9Million in benefactors donations....JHC fools and their money, easily parted.
Hopefully these clowns with too much money will have seen the light and stopped throwing their money away.
Would love to see where that £9M went and what some of these players are on......almost impossible to move some on without compensating for loss of earnings....
They really are jammy B's.....hope they go down and then out of business.
Apparently it's gone towards a magnificent new stand, making a profit and ensuring that they have no debt.Quote:

Stendel has said their main target is to avoid relegation, yet Budge, in her AGM address said that their main target is still a top four finish, failing that, at least top six. There again, it’s maybe ok for really big clubs to have unachievable targets.
She also said the stand would cost 11 millionQuote:

She also said after interviewing all the best candidates available they had the best one all along in Craig Levein
There’s too many expames of auld budgey talking nonsense the list is nearly endless
This documentary could be some of the best television ever created.
The BBC must be rubbing their hands in delight that they are having a terrible season. Much the same as Netflix would have been when Sunderland’s “bounce back to the Premiership” went tits up.
Let's hope BBC Scotland have to commission a second series to follow their attempts to gain promotion back to the Premiership. :greengrinQuote:

I've not been on there for a long, long time. From Jambos I know, there were a few that still think the business is run ok, and it's just the team that is a shambles, then there are those that actually see the extent to which they have squandered HUGE amounts of money thanks to incompetent management.Quote:

So in other news it looks like Stendel went back to Germany on Saturday night for Christmas and is returning to Edinburgh on Christmas Day. That’s dedication for you.

None of them seem to question how we managed to put up the new East stand at a fraction of the price with little to no issues in no time while their stand isn't even finished and is now so over budget it is embarrassing.
In a sense, they are right, they have a partially completed stand, which has not increased their capacity. But, will generate massive revenue streams from the sale of chips, and Heineken zero, when it is finishedQuote:

One or two have, to their credit, questioned why for c£5m they could not have built an equivalent to our £3m East Stand with scope to add an extension on the back later.Quote:

Missing a few days training in the lead up to the derby
Not sure the effect this will have but if this was Jack Ross I'd feel really uneasy about it
If we can manage to turn them over in sure this will add to there fans rage

While I agree that they will be up for it as they always are, let’s not forget the players they have available for the game are very average on the whole. Even more so if Naismith doesn’t make it.Quote:

Now it’s been confirmed that Stendel is away this week, the fans are getting ever more restless if Kickback is anything to go with.
Hibs win on Thursday and I really think Stendel is toast already with a section of their fans. Him popping home to see family could be his Robbie ‘money spinning replay’ Neilson moment.
He’ll be wanting to get completely sloshed. Thats why he’s away.
They’ll have only had 2 days training without their manager in preparation compared to our 4 days with our manager. Let’s just hope it pays off for us however based on his record so far it might benefit them!Quote:

Hearts fans are desperately trying to justify Stendel going home for Xmas. It's beautiful to see.
"If we walked away from appointing him because he wanted to go home for xmas wouldn't we all have thought that was mental?" etc.
Imagine the foreign players reaction? "The gaffer has swanned off home for xmas, but no me, I've got to pop down to the university campus for training"
Imagine if you're a player, your in a team rooted at the bottom of the league, you've got a huge game against your rivals and your manager, the leader, is nowhere to be seen.Quote:

Key is we concentrate and defend very well to weather this

I'd not be impressed if it was us in that situation. At times of crisis, you need leaders to lead.
There’s a bit of a difference between a quality side tactically adopting a high press and a side cut adrift at the bottom of the table at Christmas consisting of a mixture of cloggers and half hearted journeymen running about a bit.Quote:

Exactly. They know they will run out of steam later in the game so will be trying to get a couple of early goals. After Friday that concerns meQuote:

Our best hope is that Stendel will have left Levein a lot of post it notes telling him how it should be done, Kirk will do his thing that's helped get them to the bottom in the morning and when Levein starts the late shift he'll dish out the post it's.Quote:
