Really interesting and beneficial for both clubs.

At this point Bloom is simply playing ultimate football manager.

Set up a feeder club to blood your youngsters and give them valuable first team experience. I absolutely love this news if it’s true but completely get that it could also be divisive.

The man simply will not be druv in terms of his search for sporting dominance and there’s no doubt in my mind he see’s Hearts, as he did USG, as a route to silverware, European football and one assumes a pipeline of talent for us.

Clearly there will be administrative hoops to overcome but I can’t see anything other positives here.

Thoughts?!

I know it’s really helped us and I really enjoy watching USG but let’s not kid ourselves, the multi club ownership model is pretty shit for football in general.

Interesting. Especially considering the timing of their terrible start to the season.

Partially agree. It’s shit when it’s a petrol state but less so when it’s a self made billionaire looking to make us great.

Would’ve preferred Hibs. For no other reason than I love Sunshine on Leith.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Not Hibs then?

Didn't we already have some kind of agreement in place with Hibs?, not sure those are compatible.

Would be hilarious. Especially as rangers and Celtic are shittttt and you just know if it happens bloom will get hearts top of the league

We did, but are first order of business was to send a player to Hearts!

Is this actually an investment? From article it seems they are paying Bloom to use his statistical system? Plus he will get the opportunity to invest later if he wishes. Or am I reading it wrong?

Partially agree. It’s shit when it’s a petrol state but less so when it’s a self made billionaire looking to make us great.

No, it’s never a good thing.

I’m really uncomfortable with the whole principle of it.

Mmm it would be quite nice perhaps if he get us top of league too

I'd prefer us to stay in the Premier League.

And Tony Bloom is Jewish. How in GOD'S name this is ever going to work, I just don't know.

That’s exactly how I read it from a different source. Nothing was said about co-ownership. I’d also note that £10m is a huge sum of money for any Scottish club beyond the big two so I’m very slightly doubtful.

I appreciate most of you won't care but as a Scotland fan, anything that can help disrupt the duopoly of the Old Firm can only be a good thing for football north of the border
