How about Tommy Wright as director of football? Just throwing it out there. Don’t have a problem with that, we need somebody experienced in Scottish Football preferably an irritating shitebag who will fight Hearts corner. Somebody that concentrates on Heart of Midlothian and doesn’t want to have a coffee with Dempster every month.

For me her times up one fuck up after another I’ll be grateful to her always for helping save us but the last two years has been a dogs dinner. On the other hand there’s not a CEO in any walk of life that would have survived the incompetence of the last 3 years.

Falkirk FC respond to news of the failure of league reconstruction talks
Falkirk FC Chairman Gary Deans said:
“Today’s announcement will not come as a huge surprise to Falkirk supporters who have, along with the rest of Scottish football, witnessed firsthand the utter shambles engulfing our game these last few weeks.
As you know I have been working with the SPFL Reconstruction Group over recent weeks and I received a call late this afternoon (8 May) informing me that six Premier League clubs had indicated they would not support any league reconstruction at the present time.
As a club we embarked upon this process with eyes wide open and tempered optimism, hoping that the SPFL and other clubs might see the bigger picture and act in the best interests of Scottish football. In fairness, some did see that bigger picture and approached talks in a constructive manner – but once again progress has been hampered by the short sightedness and self-preservation of a small cabal within Scotland’s top division.
You will share my anger at this latest injustice, the failed promises and the general mismanagement that has occurred at the top of Scottish football for many years
The handling of this entire situation has been farcical ranging from the decisions made by the SPFL board to those clubs who have, what could only be charitably described as, misled and deceived. The principle of ‘do no harm’ to Scottish football during the pandemic was thrown out of the window a long time ago and the decision taken today will cause harm to many clubs – Falkirk included.
To add insult to injury to release a statement on a Friday evening adding to the stress of players, staff and the many people connected with football clubs is a sign of the blatant contempt that those in charge of our game hold for us all.
I have already embarked upon discussions with other clubs who share my anger and we will be considering the next steps to take over the weekend. I will keep you informed as matters progress but for now the club has made it clear that we cannot support this unfair decision taken by six clubs and supported by those at the SPFL. Change is required.
As a club we must do what we’ve always done, let our performances on the pitch do the talking, and with your support press on through the leagues and take our place in the top division where we can continue to lobby for the necessary change required in Scottish football.”

Michael Stewart has just said that Ann Budge has written to every single club and said, basically, no hard feelings.
That's surely got to be the final nail in her coffin. Our club has become too soft under her leadership.

If all Foundation members upped their contribution by average of a tenner that would be 80 g’s a month. Job done! Personally I do not care one way or the other but if we did sue , even if we lost, it would make those in charge sit up and take notice that their bully boy tactics at the very least will hurt them in the pocket book.

League reconstruction will happen at some point i'm sure but the clubs are right. Now is not the time. I'm assuming the new TV Deal is not negotiable in the sense that all 12 clubs will get what they are supossed to get during the course of next season if it happens. (pretty sure not many clubs would want to split the money 14 or 16 ways never mind 18 ways). Times are going to be financially hard for all clubs.
Just saying!
