Odd take.
I’m still confused….unless this is like that Rangers and Celtic nonsense, but I always thought that was some of their bigoted fans rather than the Football Clubs.
Sorry I’m English and from the South Coast so don’t really understand the nonsense that goes on up there.

We’re not a Protestant club. A few bozos fly the Union Jack and sing the Billy Boys song but it’s a small minority.
For what it’s worth, one of the first chairmen of the club, Elias Furst, was head of the Jewish Congregation in Edinburgh.
This investment wouldn’t be straightforward as the club is now majority fan owned so would need the backing of the Foundation of Hearts (of which I’m a member).

Shame they can’t get the transfer fees correct MC went for £115 not £100 , there are a few other fees they got wrong as well
We don't play in a Mickey mouse league so tricky.Mmm it would be quite nice perhaps if he get us top of league too

Ah that’s that then.
I wonder why Hearts. No disrespect to Hearts, but 10m is chicken feed in football terms and there must be a lot of bigger clubs willing to get their hands on his knowledge for a lot more. I guess he doesn’t want to help a potential competitor but even so.

If it got USG from Belgian second division also-rans to Europa League regulars, it could do wonders for a club like Hearts.
But yes, maybe next season though.

Presumably being UK based it's easier and more convenient for Bloom to manage the various legalities, whilst being pretty much the largest available club he could wrestle a sizeable stake in north of the border.
Similar opportunity to USG, I imagine we might have less benchwarming loans in the Champ next season and a few more in Scotland and Belgium (again).
Also don't underestimate Edinburgh as a draw for a player. Lovely place to live despite the cold.

^ does TB not still live in Australia (on and off)
That’s a good point actually, there’s quite a lot of paperwork for data now the UK is not in the EU.
He seems to be at the Amex for every home game, so must be more off than on if he does.
I don't really see what's in this fir Mr. Bloom. The £10M is what he'll presumably buy his minority share with, if approved by the current owners - not that 'investing' in football clubs is likely to see a return; buying a football club (or part of one) is just spending money, shirley? Still, it's his money.............................
Presumably Hearts will pay to use Starlizard?

I expect his intention is slowly to build into co-ownership
It's all utimately for the benefit of us as his one true love. He's is looking for anyway to legally game the system and have control in our favour of our playing assets.
Honestly i'd rather our non squad players or youth team had a better development window than farming them out to random pathway clubs where they may or may not be used in the way we deem appropriate.
The USG pathway has slowed since he had to reduce his holding to comply with UEFA co-ownership requirements but expect he will develop a similar ownership model with Hearts in time.
And we'll have exactly the same problem that we had with USG if (and it is a quite likely if) we finish up in the same European competition at some point in the future.

Think its Bloom’s business what he wants to do here but think it could be an excellent move- both for Scottish football and for Brighton. We have another team we could develop our talent with- Im thinking Bloom’s mindset is that he wants access to another league where qualification for European football, potentially even champions league football, is possible. Top 4 places play European at least at qualifying round level. You dont necessarily need to beat the Old Firm - even then I think Celtic and Rangers status quo is there to be disrupted and Edinburgh is the perfect market for that.
