Budge’s heart is in the right place, but she desperately needs help running the football department but chose the wrong horse by putting too much faith in Levein. A club with their resources, fan base, stadium and training facilities should be a strong presence in the top flight, but they only have themselves to blame for the predicament they find themselves in. If Budge learns from her mistakes she has a chance to return a stronger club to the premier league. Wasting time threatening legal action and drawing up fruitless restructuring plans over months will just eat into that opportunity.
