    Not sure how you can't say Bournemouth's league position isn't a success. Where do you think they should be?
    Where I think is irrelevant.

    But they finished 9th in the EPL a few years ago. This group took over last year and they are now 17th with one win in ten.

    Bournemouths success has nothing to do with this group. They are not an example that can be used to show this guy knows how to run a football team.

    They are about to buy an Auckland expansion team who will join the Australian league, so easier access to a league we've bought from before

    The vegas golden knights is a better measure as they have owned that longer. Sign me up.
    I watch NHL and the job they have done there is amazing. Was gutted the won the Stanley Cup mind you.

    By your own admission he's only been there a year. They are making major investment to improve them.

    We are also comparing apples and pears. The English football league is the toughest in the world to make big progress. Look at Man Utd and Chelsea, billions spent and still pretty poor.

    The level of investment required in Scottish football to compete and regularly win things/qualify for Europe is miniscule compared to England. And this guy certainly has the required levels of wealth to hit those numbers needed in this country.

    They went into enormous debt after 9th and had to start again. He has cancelled the debt is building a training centre and new stadium. He's taking them up a few levels with the hope they maintain the Premiership place

    Hibs offer a potentially easier route into Europe than Bournemouth. Good opportunity to farm players to us to get that experience and increase their value long term.

    I think so too. I don't think he'll do things by half like Bournemouths training centre and stadium. He says he it'll take 5-6 seasons to make them a top 10 club. When they bought the Las Vegas ice hockey team they said they want the Stanley Cup in 6 years, they did it in 3.

    As was discussed when it was the City Group, there’s zero evidence that any of these groups are remotely interested in the teams they buy succeeding, indeed with the current UEFA rules it’d actually be a headache for them.

    We’d probably get some players on loan, and Bournemouth would presumably get first look at any decent ones we have. I don’t see them funding a spending spree or anything, beyond perhaps some training centre upgrades etc.

    Bournemouth are a tiny club in English terms, they punch absolutely miles above their weight. They're probably league 1 in real size. They're league position is probably about 20_30 places above where the should really be.

    We have always punched below our weight. Imagine what we could do if we not only met our potential but far exceeded it, like Bournemouth do.
    Exactly right.

    We've got more season ticket holders than Bournemouth have seats in their stadium.

    They should be our feeder club!

    Did Bournemouth not pump us in pre season? I wonder if this was in the pipeline then?

    Is this Chris or Brian McLaughlin? Only asking because the BBC article is by Chris.
    Chris is the journalist.

    Brian is the one who can’t wear a belt and a tie on the same day or he’ll turn in to sausages.

    This is what we've been saying for ages. Have we finally found that elusive billionaire that also sees it?!

    I’m willing to bet it’s only a minority investment until the rules get changed on multi club ownership. If he’s investing, it’s for full control.
