Hearts hosted their 116th AGM at a packed Gorgie suite on Thursday and the club’s directors enjoyed a straightforward meeting.
Following the club’s recent on and off the pitch success, the shareholders inside the room were all happy with the direction of the Jambos. Hearts chair Ann Budge and chief executive Andrew McKinlay did most of the talking at the top table, while millionaire benefactor James Anderson was also present.
In the first in person AGM since the pandemic, Budge was also given a round of applause for her part in taking Hearts out of administration in 2014 after the Jambos became fans owned last August. Hearts director Gerry Mallon’s appointment to the board following his appointment as the Foundation of Hearts new chairman was also ratified by shareholders as Budge, McKinlay and sporting director Joe Savage faced up to shareholders and covered a range of topics. Here are Record Sport's five takeaways from the big meeting.
