It’ll be interesting to see how it pans out for them. We’re a year down the line with BKFC and depending on how you view the season that’s just passed, with third for the men, the women champions and the under 18s champions, you could argue that we’re seeing a difference already.Quote:

My concern is that we turned Bloom down in favour of BKFC and I’m not sure how much that motivates someone to prove a point. I’m sure it would rattle Bloom more than it pushing Foley to prove we made the right call.
It will be even more interesting if this signals the end of the James Anderson money :greengrinQuote:

Interesting to hear him speak and all the things he's delighted about getting at Hearts, i'd be astonished if they weren't already in place and being done at Hibs. He really has been out the loop (never been in it) at Killie and probably an old school Aberdeen for a while...
EG.
• With JTA he now doesn't need to trawl through hours of soul destroying footage - SDG never had to do that, we have basically the same set up that is proven in the EPL but just dont bleat on about it - Tick!
• He sends request for postions/players to a director of football - SDG Tick!
• Infrastructure - Bigger stadium, own training ground soon to have its own private indoor pitch thats never double booked with Dodgeball student teams - Tick!
• Big support :rolleyes: - Tick!
• Capital City, lol - Tick!
Basically if you are not doing most if not all of the above these days you are standing still/ moving backwards not moving ahead.
Bring on the hoof ball!
They have use of a training centre, it isn't theirs.Quote:

They didn't pay the rent for the previous one, and their landlord, mysteriously, was very very slow in pursuing the debt, to the extent that they made their famously big creditors list as well.Quote:

What I took from it was his relationship with agents and how he cannot deal with them in the same way. All he can do is give details to James Town. Essentially he can only select players James Town approves. Going to Hearts means he is giving up a lot of the control he had enjoyed at his previous clubs. There is no way he can operate the same way, he has to develop a new way of working. He didn't sound to comfortable about it. I suppose that is exactly what you would expect when a control freak has to give up some control. I don't think he is fitting in to his new position like a glove. It is going to be a tough gig for him.Quote:

Although to be honest all this was gleamed from various conversations with some Hearts fans I have to confess to as having as friends, although they are generally the more balanced kind.
He wasn’t a Hearts fan until he got involved with the club.Quote:

The philanthropic donation to all SPFL clubs during covid wasn’t blind charity but was needed when Budge backed Hearts in to a corner by trying to bribe the league with his money to restructure the league to 14 teams so Hearts could avoid relegation. Hearts were asked by Doncaster to show him the money to prove it wasn’t a bribe. The subsequent vote didn’t go the way Hearts wanted.Quote:
