Ann's Role After Takeover

[Del-icious]

What is it?

Will she be involved in any capacity at all or is that her offski once the loan is paid off?

It's actually a horrible thought that she won't be running the club anymore Proven this year that she has what it takes so I'd love if she continued as chairwoman or something.

Not really that clued up on the members/hierarchy of FOH. Who would be head honcho when the takeover takes place? Ian Murray?

Dunno.

She appears to be running things perfectly, in which case it would be great if she stayed on for as long as she can.

Hope we can just vote her in to run the club.

No doubt the fans groups will rip the club apart though in a power struggle.

Enjoy this while it lasts.

[Sarkozabal]

Hopefully she gets to keep the club for as long as possible.

I've been against fan ownership from the start, but to be fair at one point it was the only option. If Mrs Budge is interested in keeping control, that's an infinitely better option than the FOH.

Unfortunately this is correct.

I think the idea of FoH providing funding and professionals like Budge and Levein running the club should be what continues after the loan is paid of. No doubt fans will spoil it, though.

I'm voting maple leaf as owner, Dave mclaren as chief exec.

The admin over there would slit their Granny's throat to get a seat on the board.

[Cheeky Gnando’s]

Give me Mrs Budge over our cretinous support any day. Dreading the day she comes good on her word

[Snake Plissken]

Can we just declare her dictator for life and be done with it?

[Herzog]

Can we maybe just do a year by year thing after the five years is up?

[Johannes de Silentio]

In the event of Mrs Budge being muscled out by large breasted Hearts men, one consolation is the presence of Craig Levein as Director of Football - I see him as being pretty much a fixture in that role, and I don't see many people having the nerve to take him on.

With Levein overseeing the footballing side of the club, we'll be ok in that respect.

Budge has to stay, though.

[Mozzer]

Anyone who puts themselves forward once her time is up should be automatically disqualified from any position of power within the club.

At present we have an astute, professional and passionate individual running the club...every decision she has made has been in the best interests of the club. Every effort should be made by FOH to ensure that remains in post for as long as she feels she can contribute something. The very idea that you would allow someone like Budge to walk away is madness.

For decades this club has been run by lunatics, incompetents and charlatans...all of whom contributed in taking us to the very brink. Now we have the chance to do things properly and to ensure the long term survival (and maybe better) of the club. Can you imagine the situation with one of us on the board? Or worse someone from the admin team on a certain other site...I'm fairly sure Dexter could tell us what that would be like.

If it ain't broke then don't fix it.

There will be an inevitable power struggle between Craig Levein and Gary Mackay with support of Hearts fans groups. They have been positioning themselves for years - it's only a matter of time.

Craig Levein will be forced out by Gary Mackay + the supporter factions who will proceed to take us back to the dark ages of football and run the finances like they are the treasurer of a local grass bowls club.

[I.J]

If that prick Mackay is anywhere near the club in an official capacity, it'll be enough for me to jack it in once and for all.

I would hope to Christ that even the dullest of supporters would see that Levein is far preferable to Mackay.

You could be right, though.
