If we do that then the playing staff budget increases. Anderson in theory is a key player in helping the business side of Hearts grow.

Also if your a club looking to buy players with a bit of money, the last thing you want to do is tell everyone you have a bit of money. The selling club tends to see that and raises the price.

I think the positive spin of him joining the board would be the plebs thinking he’s bankrolling a move for Messi, or am I being overly cynical? I think the answer is a definite"YES". Firstly Neilson is not going to come out and say that we are amazingly loaded as fees/wage demands will inevitably increase and maybe Savage has been informed. Do you really want RN/JS to give the world chapter and verse of our every move/intention? Why can't you just be happy for Hearts for what, on paper at least, is a piece of positive welcome news? And why do you call people plebs for believing something ridiculously unlikely that you have just made up? Chillax.

I agree with you on this. While hoping he is going to continue to financially back the club, until I see/hear otherwise I will assume he's joined the board to keep an eye on what we do with the money he's already donated and any future money he introduces through the possible MND sponsorship (or any other). He will, undoubtedly, be bringing a financial genius' eye which may well pay financial dividends even if he doesn't empty his pockets into the bottomless pit that is our/every football club. Not doubting Notts information one bit, just being careful with my hopes after six decades of supporting Hearts. One thing we can be pretty sure of, though, is that, regardless of how much he might put in, he won't allow it to be spent like it's confetti a la Romanov. OK, anyone for Harry Kane? Could do a job!

I think it's very unlikely but it would using some FoH money to build it the long term strategy would see profit directed into the playing side budget. The reality for a club like ours is that we have to explore different ways to level the playing field when it comes to Rangers/Celtic.
