A well never mind eh 😂 Large capital gains tax bills tend to indicate large capital gains. I’m quite sure he understands how to legally minimise any tax.

Greedy Jambo Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Anderson has seen his money pished down the pan on a yearly basis, he's on the board to have more of a say and keep and eye on things IMO. Probably too much of a sensible answer though, he's going to plough 30 million in, honest, guv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Alexander Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 1 hour ago, davieholt said: There is no way he could be a hedge fund manager. It's a young mathematicians game which is heavily reliant on formulae and taking positions in the options market. He is a traditional investment manager who has taken a few private punts with his own cash which paid off - and how! Yes, it's very doubtful that he would describe himself as a hedge fund manager as his investment strategy is long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardiff Hearts Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Welcome Mr Anderson’s appointment as independent NED. Proven global investor who will bring a welcome addition of rigour and scrutiny to our historically - in my eyes anyway - “cosy club” Board. Levein off Board, JA on is a definite plus. As others note, he has other commitments - chairing a Swedish investment firm for example so his time will not be devoted exclusively to us. Other thing of note is that he is a committed long term investor who prefers growth and disruptive strategy rather than short term gain and spend spend spend. Not sure if that will sit favourably with those in our support who expect immediate investment and results… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwidoug Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 We will progressively learn more about Mr Anderson's financial financial position from our Lochend economist friends and I doubt if much of it will be good news. I remember living in fear and trepidation a few years ago that due to our failure to pay GST on FoH subscriptions, the entire board was going to jail and the club was to be wound up. Fortunately, we seemed to talk our way out of that one but who knows what financial perils are round the corner. All will be revealed on .net.

Mysterion Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Trying to get this back on track - I am hopeful that James Anderson will work with Ann Budge with a view to taking the Chair role when she feels ready to step down. This is the first step towards that. I would hope that between them they will identify and implement some new/fresh ideas to grow the business and increase the club presence in the city/suburbs. I am of the belief that for Hearts to grow it needs to be actively supporting the community or providing services in the to improve affinity (Big Hearts do this but there is scope for funding for expanding community coaching for example). In the short term though I suspect commercial partners/sponsors is a priority. There was a cracking discussion on Scarves around the Funnel with Stuart Duguid who highlighted how the club website needs an overhaul and has hardly any info on sponsors etc. The club website is the channel to get fans attention, build loyalty and build sales. Compare and contrast the club website and commercial activities to what Rangers have done in the last 12-18months. Bisgrove has been building partnerships, improving marketing, merchandise etc. They've taken significant steps forward to stimulate growth and income from the diehards to the fair-weather (glory hunter) fan base. Hearts really need to step up now to do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so frustrating how shite we've been on the park (and training ground) these last few years. Everything else at the club is great. Football is pretty important to a football club mind you!!!!! Does irk me the abuse and hate she gets. I find it hard to see beyond the mess she saved us from and the work she's put in to make us safe and I'm very sure in a great position to be competitive. My ire all goes towards Levein - he let us down ultimately. All Ann did was buy his snake oil unfortunately. Folk making digs about the restaurant, women's team, whatever it may be, for me don't get it. These things should be part of a succesful, forward thinking club. The single most important thing is what we do on the pitch, but all those other things shouldn't stop or be shelved if we're not playing well!!! That's mental!!
