Some Hearts supporters intend to demonstrate against the club’s leadership at the beginning of the new year. Supporters will assemble outside Tynecastle Park to express their emotions prior to the game against Motherwell this Thursday, January 2, since the team is now in second place in the William Hill Premiership and faces relegation.
Hearts had lost the Edinburgh derby at home to Hibs, lost to a 10-man Kilmarnock, lost to Petrocub in the UEFA Conference League and let up two goals in stoppage time on Sunday to draw 2-2 at Ross County. Although Neil Critchley was hired as head coach in mid-October to succeed Steven Naismith, the team’s league standing is still precarious. Given the amount of donations, many supporters are frustrated with the state of affairs goes into the club.
The “This Is My Story” Hearts podcast is asking everyone to gather on the Foundation Plaza in front of the stadium on Thursday at 2:00 p.m. The owners of the podcast posted on social media about the problems that have enraged a lot of followers and that they mostly attribute to the board. Citing £43 million handed to Hearts during the previous ten years, in addition to additional revenue from matchdays and tickets, it called for change in light of the club’s current situation.
“Seven managers in ten years,” the post said. Another administrative catastrophe is unfolding. Another dog fight for relegation. To preserve the season in January, more money will be thrown into the abyss. £18 million of our funds were transferred through the FoH. £25 million in “gifts” to make the books balance. Season ticket revenue in the millions. Matchday money in the millions. To Budge’s brother, millions. Other than relaying board communications to us, the FoH remained radio silent. Fan-owned rather than fan-run. More like, stop talking and give us your money.
“All Jambos are asked to gather on the Plaza at 2:00 PM against Motherwell.” We find ourselves in a predicament again every 18 months, and each time we make a mistake with our next move. We need a change now. The moment has come for the FoH to take charge and speak for us, not the board. Enough is enough.
