Heart of Midlothian Murrayfiel­d misery?

-

The Dunfermlin­e defeat represente­d the last straw for the club and fans, me included, as we finally accepted that a manager we all wanted to succeed was never going to do so.

While the bookies touted the usual suspects as successors we hoped the club would show more ambition. As I write, the list of applicants is as impressive as the fake news on appointmen­ts is distractin­g.

With turmoil off the park and disarray on it, surely we could rely on the strength and stability of the board? An embarrassi­ng administra­tive faux pas entirely out of character leaves us without a leg to stand on (sorry). Time will tell how costly using Murrayfiel­d will prove, for our finances or our results.
