I get what mak is saying, if levein was better at his job we could actually be punching way above what we’re used to if the resources were used properly.

He seems to be propped up by a big section of the support just happy to accept rubbish because it’s better than not having a club to support at all though Monty Oh Well

There seems to be a serious lack of ambition now from our supporters, it’s shite like. Seems like the support is so divided Laugh

The prize money for finishing higher up the league wouldn't make a huge difference, but the extra money from a European run would make a difference even if we just got to the round before the playoffs. I guess it's balanced out by the money spinning defeats at Murrayfield and Hampden last year, but doubt we'll have that comfort blanket this season.

You could also argue that having such a bad manager and team within a structure where players don't develop impacts on our ability to sell players. There are literally three divisions of teams in England capable of paying good fees for our players and the last time we got 7 figures for a player was selling Osman Sow to China, three and a half years ago. Have we even had bids for any of our players in that time?

Not saying I want us to be getting rid of players, but we could probably have flogged Souttar to a Championship side for about £3 million in the summer if he wasn't playing in a long-ball gang who lose more than they win. Monty Oh Well

All this shite about Budge doing a great job in the business side. Fuck off.

She is sabotaging the club by allowing an inept,  egomaniac to have a free hand to do whatever the fuck he wants with the football side of the business. The only side of the business that fucking matters.

I genuinly wish they would all fuck off and get out of my club. I far prefered supporting Hearts during the worst days of Romanov. Anything is better than this.

I literally said 'medium to long term' Jezza

We're always comparing the way we're currently run to Hibs a few years ago, and look what happened to them Jezza

Our form since the end of last season is relegation material Jezza

Haemorraging funds on three year deals for players you pay off after one doesn't fit many traditional definitions of 'good business' Jezza

Going massively over budget on the stand wasn't great business either Jezza

If we hadn't done those things, we would've literally spent less money and would therefore have better profit margins, without any reason to believe performances would've been poorer Jezza

Fuck you Jezza

I'm not fussed about having the nicest balance sheet in the league, results matter.

The reason football clubs increase money coming in should all be geared to getting better players on the park.

We have some great players, we've also chucked cash at shitehawks who'd be better suited to playing in Acey's intermural-no-cunts-a-student league.

If budge isn't dragging levein over the coals for every dud signing he's presided over then I reckon she's chucked it too.

Fans on social talking about stewards / security huckling them on back of other fan complaints. For shouting and swearing. Nothing racist or sectarian. Just shouting and swearing at the team and management.

One fan saying they got thrown out with a warning about returning with same behaviour. 

Is this exaggerated? Is it really so bad in areas of the ground that when we joke about pay up, sit down, be quiet. Is this now a reality? Has she created a new stadium vision and set of fan standards without engaging fans on the subject? As part of her assault on disobedience and traditional fans she so despises?

Again. Maybe my understanding of FOH is wrong. But if its not them, some fans group needs to be challenging her. Who represents fans opinions to her? Isn't there a FOH yes man on the Board? 

Football has been for primarily working class males who like to drink and shout. Yes. Great to have lots of groups. Families. Women. Elderly. Kids. Disabled. Of COURSE and totally support that as a community based club that avoided heading out to some plastic home outside Edinburgh. But. Has she just decided the core element of males in groups who like to drink, make a noise and get a bit rowdy is to be attacked and is this part of her drive to change Scottish football but also, to defend herself in the stadium from all forms of criticism?

Tell you what, KB doesn't speak for the fans. I saw an entire section going mental at the directors box yesterday. Get her and Levein to fuck.

RedM and co will find it harder and harder to spin this. The cunts on KB are looking more comical and deluded every week.

Why is she talking shit like this? Why can it not be “I believe hearts can challenge for Europe”

Got to say my good pals Hibs can be up there too.

FUCK OFF

I fucking hate this love in she's trying to forge with Hibs. Fuck that. They're our rivals and can fuck off and die as far as I'm concerned.

I'm genuinely fizzing reading that. What the actual fuck.

We've waited weeks for her to speak out and THAT is the best she can do or say?

Honestly man just fuck off.

Surely, surely to fuck someone must be proof reading her statements. Surely someone somewhere must be pulling her aside and going "Ann, the fans are very upset just now. Perhaps now isn't the best time to discuss Hibs?" 

There must be someone who checks through social media and feeds back what is happening or being said. Because there's no way she does it.

"Hmmm, things are looking poor right now. Better discuss with the papers how confident I am about Hibs turning things around. I'll make a mention about us too".

Staggering stuff it really is. So ludicrously out of touch with the fans it's scary.
