I think he actually said they were looking to go above the old firm. As in winning the league.Quote:

Shankland and Halkett trying to put off Engels at the penalty yesterday. Halkett shouting "£10m? Aye right."
The answer after scoring the penalty should have been "Actually it was £11m ya free transfer fanny."

Hibs players with more goals this season than Shankland the anti-vaxxer:
Miller
Ekpiteta
O'Hora
Levitt
Newell
Welsh
Molotnikov
Vente
Boyle
Bowie
Kuharevich
I think they might just manage to split the Old Firm.
The Old Firm being Celtic and Berwick Rangers
Always full of wind and pish, it's the yam way.
Had a peek over, some are confidently predicting catching Aberdeen who are 14 points in front of them. That’s 5 games, I know that form can dip but Aberdeen unfortunately look pretty well set up, hearts don’tQuote:

Hearts making an early move to catch Dundee 😂😂😂😂
In fairness to them (yuck) Aberdeen have had a very cushy start to the season. They haven't played either of the Glasgow clubs yet and the "better" teams they've played have been at home. Aberdeen will drop plenty points.Quote:

Rumours of a £10m investment from Brighton and, more importantly, access to their database. If it comes off, it's a game changer for our noisy neighbours and Scottish football...
Surely they'll all veto it given all their critism of multi-club ownership and how it would mean they'd be a feeder club. 🤔 I mean if they're not dead against it then that would make them hypocrites and we know they are all paragons of virtue.Quote:

Between us we’ve squandered some sums on Tom Kite over the years.
They'll absolutely romp the Championship next season with the Brighton investment. How will Morton and Partick compete?
Brighton might want to do some due diligence on how HMFC spent the last £55m of free money they have received.Quote:

Thought that would be quite obvious to be honest. Hearts are such a big club Brighton's owner will give them £10 million quid and access to his database without wanting much.Quote:

On face value looks like a decent investment for Hearts.
Will be interesting to see what %of shareholding he would be after and how much this dilutes shares owned by Mr and Mrs Jambo £50 per month subs. Most of them have “part owner of blooded turd” on X and social like a badge of honor.
Good time for the leak of a left field story when they are rock bottom of the league and 1 win in 14 competitive games 👀
I’d be more concerned if they were involved in choosing their next manager. They have a habit of being very good at that at Brighton.
90% of those that vote or 90% of all co owners?Quote:

The total nonsense "deal worth upto £10m" is basically what it could cost a team like Hearts in the future to access the data. Brighton might chuck a couple mill in there as a sweetener to get hertz to sign up.
They might get "free" access to it but they will be giving up all their own data - kinda like the online Fremium model (Facebook instagram etc)
And like someone said if Hearts and say a similar sized club in Holland or Greece say are all using the same data. It's back to square one and the team with the most cash gets the player. Its basically a fancy dan Wyscout ...
We will have access to in some shape or form, and be part of the all the Data sets here.

It's a strange world when Brighton and Bournemouth seem to be pulling the strings in Scottish football ...
A "fancydan" analysis tool that has made it's owner and developer a £billionaire through his sports betting company. If this deal comes off, the team most at risk is Rangers because Hearts are likely to become serious challengers for 2nd place within a matter of years. Have a look at what was achieved in a relatively short period of time with Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium. As Hibs supporters, we should be very concerned by this development although, paradoxically, it may make our dear leaders more likely to listen Foley and his advisors to avoid being left behind.Quote:

Just says 90% of members, I'm guessing it will be of those that decide to vote.
Ann Budge still owns the 15% of HMFC she picked up for almost free from Vlad’s daughter. She didn’t hand those shares over to FoH. Sell them to the Brighton owner and it would be the best way to keep FoH as majority owners and get out of the club with another bag over her shoulder with SWAG written on it.
Hertz have had excess millions pumped into them for years...result...bottom of the league and an empty trophy cabinet. Serious challenge to Rangers...behave.Quote:

That's for "investment" eg shares. If Bloom is taking shares, as was suggested earlier, that would dilute FOH's holding. So they would be voting for or against that dilution.
If there is no investment, then for me it's a Board decision, and FOH don't need to have a say.
The cavet to all of this, as many have said, is that we know very little about the deal itself. :greengrin
The club wouldn't get the cash then.Quote:

That’s true. I’d still wager that disposal of her (almost) zero cost shares for significant benefit to her will be part of any deal.Quote:

The group has only recently put some key appointments in - most notably Tim Bezbatchenko, whose job it is to oversee getting the most out of the group. He’s already been to the club to start getting things going according to Ian Gordon’s interviews last week - Malky is in talks with the group regularly so I don’t think it’ll be too long before we start to see some differences.
Hearts might get some benefit from this, in fact I’m certain they will, but without the partnership our group of clubs, it’s a big ask to get really good players to come to Scotland, never mind to come for the sort of wages Hearts can offer.
At least with us, the players can sign for Bournemouth who can afford the wages and have the status, and spend a season or so on loan with us.
Ultimately about managing the team. Not a good record recently and becomes very difficult with a revolving door policy.
As soon as the deal is signed Bloom will pull off his mask, Scooby Doo style, to reveal underneath it is actually Lee Johnson who will then give Budge the link to install the app he "designed" and got the Dyson engineer that lives downstairs to build.
£10 million quid in the championship will see them ok sadly
One would imagine there are no restrictions on the disposal of these shares considering she seems to have been writing all the rules herself.Quote:

What’s the current value of HMFC to a billionaire potential new owner? £30m? 15% of that is £4.5m. It’d be hilarious if she did sell for that sort of number considering the increased value in HMFC is due to the fans and Anderson.
Surely the 8th wonder of the world single tier main stand tripled the value of the assetts as well?Quote:

Much like Hibs increased commercial ventures if it brings in more funds then it benefits the club. However, it still relies on how you use the funds to then make up a squad and field a team.
We have access to Bournemouth's data but also are integral to the larger group. How that plays out is yet to be seen but it feels like a long term project rather than a short term fix.

To those who regularly lurk on kickback (you know who you are :greengrin) what's the general consensus on this? Yay or nae?
They are falling over themselves to go ahead. They are saying Brighton guy approached us first but walked away as out structure was too complicated. They are moaning that some FOH supporters are more interested than being a “part owner” of the club than success. Oh the irony.Quote:

Some hearts fans seem to think this guy will give them access to his "magic software" for free, plus £10m to spend on players.
Sounds like pish, imv
I think this £10M is talked about because the News headline when the story broke included it. When you read the article it becomes clear that the ten million is the sort of figure Hearts could make from great successful transfer dealings. I haven’t seen anywhere that ten million would be ploughed in as a minority stake quoted by anyone involved.Quote:

Not sure but I'm pretty confident there'll be a fanfare in the media when its actually finished. Unless of course it is finished, alfresco press area, staircase to nowhere etc etc.Quote:

Rather than the bad run, the narrative this week seems to have been more about the Tony Bloom thing and how his algorithm is going to find them better that the current crop. Maybe they'll unearth the next Dylan Bikey.
St Mirren are a goal up, mon ref blow your whistle :wink:

Excuse me not splitting but passing them according to Zinedine Dhanda. He told BBC: “Yes, definitely. I think we can go past the top two. We have shown how good we can be, so what’s stopping us? [emoji1787][emoji1787]Quote:
