Ann Budge to Step Down as Hearts Chair in December
Ann Budge will step down as chairperson of Heart of Midlothian at the club’s annual meeting in December, concluding a 12-year tenure marked by the club's rescue from financial ruin in partnership with the Foundation of Hearts. Budge leaves following the approval of a £9.86 million investment from Tony Bloom, owner of Brighton & Hove Albion, ushering in a new era for the club. Her leadership saw significant infrastructure improvements, redevelopment of the youth academy, and strong community engagement. While some fans criticized her managerial appointments and team results, many supporters and club officials have expressed deep gratitude for her dedication and vision. Budge stated she is proud to have stabilized and grown the club and feels she has accomplished her goals. The club has begun searching for a new chair as it enters a phase of fresh leadership under Bloom's minority ownership.
