Had texts from 3 people who have today decided enough is enough and are stopping their DD's. For clarities sake this is not a decision thats been taken lightly and it is one that will be immediately reversed once Levein leaves the club, indeed they will make up the shortfall of what isn't paid in the meantime but they feel a stance has to be taken. Long time season ticket holders, 500 club members, FOH subscribers etc etc etc. 

The argument that Budge won't be paid as quick doesn't wash as she's not going anywhere soon in any case and this is only about the footballing side of the club and the complete shambles the first team setup has become. The statement today was the final straw, the lack of accountability for a historically horrendous run of league form coupled with the complete contempt that has been shown towards supporter feelings. They all have tickets for Sunday and Wednesday but will not attend SPL home games until he is removed. I don't think they will be alone in taking this stand, it was obvious last weekend how many ST holders were not bothering.

Cannot support the FoH’s inaction during what is a clear crisis at the club, cannot support them being silent/implied approval over the ‘genuine fans’ comment and cannot in good conscience support shelling out money to have Budge calling the shots after she has been paid off as is clearly their intention.

The FoH have 35% of voting rights on HMFC already and for them to be putting no pressure on the CEO and Chairwoman and Director of Football publically is really poor.

What platform is there for fans to let the FOH know they are seriously unhappy with what’s going on?

Cancelling subs can’t surely be the only way the FOH members are able to voice their opinions, how frequent are the meetings etc?

Hmm - these are the visions from the FoH site.  Struggling to see where they're progressing with achieving any of them.

I cancelled my DD last night and won't start it up again until there's a statement from FoH and Levein is out.  Budge is entrenched here until we've paid her back, and yes I realise the irony of cancelling a DD directly affects that process, however what else can us mere mortals do to show our displeasure?

Her email yesterday just goes to prove that her ego has overtaken the ethos she had when she initially put her money in (thanks etc etc etc) - she doesn't know how to run a football club, probably because she doesn't know how to effectively manage the personalities involved.  Levein has her wrapped around his little finger, so the future is always going to be Levein - she will not get rid of him, and I'm betting were we to get relegated, she still wouldn't sack him.

Treating us as children, or worse, customers is absolutely unforgivable - I've read back most of her statements - and it really does read as if she's a teacher dictating to a classroom full of unruly kids.  The "Genuine Fans" can't be construed in any other way other than an insult to some of us who've been supporting the club our entire lives - we are ALLOWED to voice our concerns and displeasure - maybe take a step back and ask why a large proportion of the "customer base" are upset and angry?  

It was brilliant that she came in and saved us - but that was in the past, we're now looking at what's happening now, today, and worrying about what might happen over the next few months.  Does she not understand, that without a decent league placing, or worse, a relegation, we will be unlikely to attract quality players, unlikely to sell as many season tickets, lose sponsors and advertisers, increased wage to turnover ratios - does she not see where that will eventually lead?  In case she's unsure - she should take a look at Dundee United.

She clearly don't give a flying fuck about what we think - probably never has to be honest, so it'd be good to know a date for when she expects to be fully paid back and out the club.  

And, if she can't see that Levein is the root cause of all this - well then maybe she needs to get better advisers.

What a fucking disgusting comment Tim

This is really going to come to a head soon. When you pledge you have a small stake in the Foundation and/or the club. This idea of "pledge and shut the fuck up" is a recipe for disaster.

Am I over thinking this because of my view on Budge?

But has FOH made a commitment to doners that the subs are used for amongst other things the stand? But without doner approval or consent, Budge has halted the stand being completed in order to channel said funds to Levein to compensate for his shit recruitment allowing him to bring in more and more broken football players in a desperate attempt to save his job?

The use of genuine fans has acted as a smokescreen to what should have been the focus of fans in that statement. The complete glossing over of any commercial update because of social media and press coverage or some such nonsense?

I'm gonna speculate. But STs and walk ups down. Player sales revenue down. Corporate down. Sponsorship down. Agents fees and recruitment costs up. Women's team investment. Increased estimated cost to complete stand. 

It makes we wonder that we don't have the money to fire Levein and his back room army plus bring in a new mgt team.

I’m glad he’s made it clear they will never challenge the board regardless of what is said to the fans.

Up to the individual if they are a take my money and do what you want type or speak for me type. It’s clear now so that’s good. Personally I want a voice for the fans on the board otherwise I fail to see the point but others will be happy with how they’ve acted so that’s all good.

Can’t argue if pledges have increased.

Pledgers have increased. I could just be reading too much into the use of that particular word, but it's easy to see how you could spin it if you lost £100 worth of pledged money from one person, and gained £5 pledges from ten people.
