If we are is such a poor situation, then hopefully there is someone out there. Suppose we'll see in a couple of days.

Bring on the Arabs!!! I agree with you that hearts are the best club to invest in, in Scotland. A team with an amazing history, a great academy and facilities, the possibilty of expansion for the stadium, a potentially huge support, passionate fans, the abilty with the right investment to challenege the old firm, have a manager already who looks perfect for the club. I think investors are a bit wary of the OF as there is too much baggage when you buy them, and almost a felling you have to be that side "minded" otherwise fans wont accept you.

Gibbo Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 The mystery consortium, comprised of anonymous but very rich people with the clubs' best interests at heart, who are willing to invest millions, if only the current owner would go away, is a long standing tradition at Tynecastle. It never seems to actually put its money on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
