Vinnie Jones phoned Jim Jefferies saying he could do a job for him 
Jim was like, nah.

We turned down a million pound for Gary Locke from Coventry City. 
Thats big money back then by the way.

There’s several worse culprits who took far greater sums out the club for fuck all in return.

Kabore scored 2 in a 6-0 win against Falkirk today. Gordon got minutes.

And of course Elton got a goal. The best bounce game player in the world

For the time being it’s just great to watch the likes of Braga and Kyziridis do their thing.

BoJack, couple of threads now you're defending the Board / Budge.

Club shill imo



Who are you at Hertz?

I'm not sure where you're getting that impression from those posts. The first reads as a critique of the board not appointing a manager like this before; the latter seems to be more of a dig at Levein.

He was probably just raging because he's a year older and all he's got to show for it is a chippy tea, most of which he's spilled down his best XXXL NFL top.

He's literally having a go at the board? 

I have been droning on about Budge and Co making a cunt of running Hearts for several years

Thankfully Bloom buying 30% of the club and putting in his guy to sway the board direction has yielded some good results so far. Almost like prioritising putting a decent team on the park, paying decent amounts for players (smashing the transfer record as well) and managed by someone reasonably qualified is what we were crying for all along rather than internal/cheap hires - sometimes literally without the necessary qualifications as we had with Naismith.

It’s madness isn’t it… using a financially stable platform to build a good footballing model is showing its worth very quickly under Bloom’s steer.

Budge, McKinley and co see themselves as some kind of footballing elite and were trying to be pioneers of a ‘bootroom’ model for Managers. We were meant to be churning out Manager’s from within and sourcing our players from Costa Rica and Japan…absolutely bonkers. Average players being coached by below average managers.

But we built a hotel with no windows so it’s all good guys!

Guaranteed they will hang around for any potential success and take credit for it

It was downhill from the second they started dismantling a very successful championship side in 2015, bar a couple of good euro trips - and it was the trips that were good, we didn’t lay a glove on anyone or compete - bar the FC Zurich game, Thanks Jorge!

You know in time that will become the Ann budge stand, should be the Jimmy Brydon stand

If we do extend tynecastle I hope we knock it down first and rebuild it as it was meant to be, it’s an absolute shit stain on the clubs fabric

Still waiting on our maroon trees on the plaza.

Has Queen Anne written a book yet?
Charity book for a charity shop, full of charity appointments. 
No mention of how everything was turned around in 6 months with the right people in charge.

And the wall mural if we’re going down that path.

There were chips!

Borch, Ageu and Kerjota will be in starting 11 after international break

Do we get champions league qualifiers if we finish second? Not that it’ll matter 

Don’t think so. 

The co-efficients fucked.

Looks like that young boy from the academy is going to go to Man City
