Is that's true? If it is then congratulations must be given the Ann Budge for maintaining her incredible record of dubious appointments.:agree:Quote:

Hearts friendly against English side cancelled following latest Covid-19 safety measures

Hearts have had to cancel their first pre-season friendly against Millwall as a result of the latest Covid-19 restrictions.
The clash with the English Championship outfit, who are training at Oriam this week, had been due to take place in Edinburgh on Friday.
Hearts were left ‘incensed’
In his statement he says how much he's looking forward to working with Hearts 'and Oriam'. Have they just thrown that in to try to cover up their embarrassment at being banned from training there? ie trying to pretend they own it rather than just rent it like anyone else who wants to use the facilities?Quote:

Budge appointing her own CEO and indicating she will be hanging around a good while yet, calling the shots on strategy.
Good news. More catastrophic mistakes guaranteed.

Leanne Dempster must have failed the interview.
He was not too popular at Scottish Golf and they were glad to get rid.
They are like the 'c' list celebrities that hire out a posh looking pad for their Hello magazine home photo shoot with the aim of portraying themselves as high rollers when in fact they've got a 2bed flat in Hackney.Quote:

We can only hope that he is another glorious failure in the same way as every other Budge appointment has been.

Poor wee souls.
Anyone else think that it strange that teams like Millwall, from London, travel all the way to the Oriam, to train?
Surely there must be nearer places for them to train than that....
what was the other team, Hull?
They would normally go abroad, so this is next best option for some kind of a training campQuote:

Let me help you out Budge. Scottish football feels in a precarious position right now, and the risk of other players breaching protocols is weighing on everyone’s mind.
After you have spent the last 4 months criticising the SPFL and SFA and then taking the former to court, absolutely no one is willing to do Hearts any favours, especially when the stakes are so high.
They simply don’t trust you not to f*** up.
You reap what you sow, as they say.
"The Jambos owner also explained Robbie Neilson's squad trimming and why she picked her new chief executive"
Her new CE? Surely she's selecting on behalf of the FOH?
Aww what a sin. Shouldn't have got relegated then started training early like the big boys when no other lower league teams were ya titQuote:

Just as a matter of interest, exactly how many goals did that goal machine Langer score for them? Remember him? He’s that guy who scored in every town he plays in. 🤔
Think Langer was another of their midfield maestros and the man who scores in every city was Avdijaj.Quote:

Despite spending other people’s millions has she actually finished anything.
The new wonder of the world office block with the glass curtain , forgot to order seats ,had to change the layout , the staircase to nowhere , not knowing what they are going to do with some of the space in the stand and no money to finish it.
The million pound pitch that was ruined because one of the benny factors wife's wanted a concert on it.
Sure she likes to be in with the oneleagueback crew as they once sent her flowers , sure that where Stendells name came from.
The only thing she wouldn't listen to anyone about because of her undying love for him is anything bad about Leven to hilarious consequences .
She was very unlucky at the court of session and arbitration finishing 2nd at both places.
The million pound contracts that allegedly never went to tender she gave to Hibs supporting brother , the club bar managed by her Hibs supporting nephew.
Luckily nobody from the press calls her out neither do the thick Hertz supporters probably scared she leaves and takes benny factors with her.
If she continues her monumental #### ups I for one say long live Queen Bagpus Anne
Her comments on the new CEO are great...Quote:

He knows a bit about Europe and European football is changing....urmm not exactly too of a championship teams needs that, which is handy as knowing a bit about Europe because he had a few SFA jaunts there probably doesn’t really add up to too much at all.
Almost as convincing as her list of reasons she gave for Our Daniel at the infamous introduction presser.
Quite rare to find a CV with “inept, downward spiral, failure” on it.Quote:

Budge is hopeful that the first team squad can resume their schedule on Monday, but still can’t make head nor tail of why the SFA and SPFL decided to force them into a week of inactivity.
Seems to be a lot of chat that John Souter has had another bad injury. Don’t like many of the jambos but he seems a decent young guy who has been unlucky with injuries. Hopefully not as bad or just a stupid rumour. Now if it was Naismith....
Was having a conversation with my Jambo mate last night. He's still gutted, and can't understand why they punted Stendel. Reckons rebuilding in the Championship with him clearing the deadwood and bringing his own guys in would have been ideal. Thinks the joy around Neilson from other Jambos is all false and he's dreading the style of football. Good to hear one of them being honest.
I played golf against a Jambo the other day. He thought that the season should have been declared null and void but conceded that could not happen due to the tv money. He also conceded that a 14 team league would not work.Quote:

He's normally quite sensible, the sort of guy who signed up for FOH then cancelled the DD almost immediately he decided Budge had saved them.

I am convinced they would have stayed up had they left it to Stendel. There is overreaction and there is overreaction Hearts-style. What a mess.Quote:

Hope it turns out to be false, but that seems unlikely just now.

Two league wins in his entire tenure; 1 point out of 6 against Hamilton; 1 point out of 6 against Kilmarnock, 1 point out of 6 against St Johnstone; 0 points out of 3 against St Mirren, 1 point out of 3 against Ross County; 4 points behind 2nd bottom; 6 points behind 3rd bottom.

Feel sorry for the player personally but it’s hard to feel “that” sorry considering he plays for a team who’s support actively called Ian Murray a cripple for years and made songs up about him ending up in a wheelchair.
Brutal thing to happen at a time when they’re not meant to have been training.

That's some amount of time out injured and still has 2 years remaining on his contract. How's that medical department Levein was heading up?

Remember when she took over she said most clubs were terribly run and she was going to apply her business knowledge to make sure they were run properly. I’d hate to think what state they would be in but for the magnificent job she’s done. She loves the limelight. A few muttering from the fans that they aren’t confident the way the clubs going but they keep quiet so they don’t get rounded on by the kickback mafia. As one guy said great for winning the championship but after that. Not sure how many players they have now as so many have gone which shows how much foh money they peed against the wall. One very strange group of folk. At least with the sevco fans they are consistent in their nonsense. The stuff the jambos come out with are from another planet.Quote:
