Golden Gordon Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 2 minutes ago, Ric said: Not unsurprising, but if they actually stood back and thought about it, it actually hampers their case of claiming the league was called too early and that games could have been played. JKB is hardly a hotbed for Mensa members though. This. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you believe Budge/Hearts handled the process well? Budge has to be seen to be doing what she can for the club - she'll be stepping back soon enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's part of the problem here. She went hard and fast into indignation to push a narrative her tenure wouldn't end on failure/disappointment* (delete as appropriate). Someone more secure may have acted with finesse, ultimately resulting in a more favourable outcome from the two attempts at reconstruction. IMO, anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim Here Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Just now, paranoid android said: Budge has to be seen to be doing what she can for the club - she'll be stepping back soon enough. Has the proportion of Heart of Midlothian Football Club that FoH gets for their money been fixed yet? If it's based on Hearts' current market valuation, it's in Budges financial interests to wait until Hearts are back in the top flight so that she maximises the money that she gets from the mugs fans - had the handover taken in May, as originally pllanned, the FoH could have gotten the club on the cheap. Budge may well be extracting what she can from the club... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itzdrk Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 1 hour ago, Monkey Tennis said: I think this is genuinely the essence of our current situation. Ann Budge doesn't really 'get' relegation. This was brought home to me early on when she spoke of an injustice, in that Dundee United were getting rewarded having invested heavily in their team, whereas Hearts were not. She spoke as if the actual results of football matches were merely incidental. Obviously, had the season run for 38 games and finished with Hearts bottom, she'd not be pursuing legal challenges and the like - she's not stupid. However, I think she'd almost feel as she does now anyway. I think that to her, the fact that your income can suddenly be vastly reduced on account of having to play in a different division, is intrinsically unfair. It's that belief that is inspiring the fight. It's the pandemic that's allowing it. Wait till she finds out about the MLS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this present cluster f**k shows why that wasn't possible.

Hearts already receive “Compensation” in terms of the parachute fee. Your solution is literally the least likely of all possible outcomes.

Total disregard for rules/procedures which I can imagine won't have gone down well with the Government. If there's another covid spike or issue the start will be blocked.

Budge may well be extracting what she can from the club... She could be - I have no idea. I get the impression she's had enough, but she'll want her coin back. In the meantime, she's letting the fans see that she did everything she could - probably in the hope that more fans will renew season tickets, etc. As well as the coinage issue, I think there's a fair amount of face-saving involved. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve McQueen Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I imagine what will happen is that clubs & spfl will be told what's happened but it will embargoed until a statement is released,then quickly followed by follow up statements from clubs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
