Disgusting, I feel dirty buying that top now. I'm at the stage where I actually resent buying tickets and anything that funds the club

Thanks for saving us an that but fuck off

Aye I'm sure you do Ann

In other words: he's always able to talk me round because I'm a soft touch and don't know anything about football.

Are you serious Craig!?

Yes.

Ok on you go

Wow. What's she doing admitting that?

I hoped we were wrong with our hunch that she's more interested in hospitality numbers than the football. You do know you have a responsibility to make sure people get value from their season ticket book? It's a big financial sacrifice for many people you idiot.

That's the first time I've ever heard an owner of a football club state publicly that they are happy finishing mid table with a mediocre product as long as the gullible idiots (:lewis : ) keep buying the shite we sell.

Unbelievable.

Fuck Off Budge.

She's turning into the Maggie Thatcher Spitting Image puppet.

She's clearly not looked at the form guide since the new year if that's her opinion. I'm assuming she just saw 'Cup final', took it at face value (i.e didn't see our route) and thinks everything is rosy.

He's not bombproof, though

“I'm pretty content. I don't go out there expecting to win every game. I would like to, absolutely, but it's not realistic. I'm like every other fan. I want to see the effort and desire. That's when I go home and think: 'What happened today?' I haven't quite worked out why it happens in football: One week everybody is up for it and the next they got out the wrong side of bed. I don't begin to understand why that happens. I guess it's because they're people and we all have a bad day at the office.

Because the manager is a dour faced cunt that looks like he can barely be arsed getting out of bed in the morning never mind motivate a football team.

After that insight into her mentality, if 8,000 season tickets had been bought then Levein would maybe have went (certainly no guarantee) but it would have been some seriously average name that replaced him and the funding for the team would have been cut.

Balance sheet over football department for Budge. We are Hibs circa 6 years ago.

Forget Levein, it's Budge that has to go to move forward.

Been saying this for a few years now, we were very clearly heading in that direction.

“Craig isn't good at business” why the fuck is he on the board of directors then.

There's this interview too.

Quote:“I've been representing the fans for the last five years. If the majority of them don't want me to be here, that's fine. They won't get any objection from me.”

Ah wait, think it's saying pretty much the same things.

Just confirms everything we already knew, but I can't believe she's actually come out and said it. It's like Boris Johnson coming out and saying he wants a no deal Brexit because he's bet against the pound.

That's us through the looking glass now, and Hibs five/six years ago is exactly where we are. Fucking unbelievable thing to say.

pretty much what we expected. Outrageous thing to come out and say though.

Exactly where we are, more interested in making money than being a successful football team.

Can the mugs supporters with ST's start Vladimir Romanov chants up at some point this season? What I'd give to have that lovable rogue back :

Despite what she says, Budge will be forced to act when Tynecastle is seething and it's definitely coming.

I can see there being CPR levels of seethe before the end of the first half of the season, contrary to what those posters over the road think.

Dear customer.

Cough up, and shut up.

Budgie knows best.
