Brighton Charmain Tony Bloom looking to invest £10M into a SPL club. No, not Rangers, but Hearts. 

 

Appears there are people out there willing to invest in Scottish clubs...........

Read somewhere that it's going to be QR codes going forward. No source though. 

Thanks Cammy seems a strange one. Whats the point in us having the smartcards

No - just an example of someone willing to put money into a Scottish Club.

 

His record at Brighton and USG is phenomenonal though and a business / player trading model we should be looking to replicate. 

 

A great article in The Athletic about him,.

 

This Is great news for Hearts and would elevate them considerably.

Yeah, weird decision if true. Looks likely given the Dundee game and now EL games are QR codes.

I would pay them to tap into their recruitment strategy. 

 

I wouldn't want them 'investing' in us, though.

If the investment meant access to their recruitment and business strategy then it would be worth it. 

 

If this comes off, it's huge for Hearts and Scottish football. You'd imagine if this is a success, he'd be willing to invest further.

There would be no point.

 

Any money spent on the smartcard system will be saved and used to cover the unpaid invoice for Todd Cantwell's leaving night.

A lot of Brightons recruitment and business strategy is/was propped up by heavy debt owed to Bloom.

 

They owe him £100's of millions.

 

We have that benign investment currently - what we don't have is a financial package offered to us in our domestic broadcast deal that would allow our board to bite the bullet and invest in capital projects to turbo charge the club.

 

That's pretty much why Bordeaux went bust btw, France are struggling to put together a decent TV deal and potential buyers, like Liverpool, decided the risk wasn't worth it.

 

Bloom is a gambler, he started out on slot machines believe it or not - he saw the premier league riches and decide to roll the dice with his money and it's paid off.

If we are going down this route then I'd rather see us invest in Linfield than anyone else invest in us.

 

Especially with the post Brexit rules on youth.

 

Possibly a Welsh premier club too.
