Congrats to the bloke. Hate the whole, 'too young to go/should have gone earlier' debate. Football isn't so simple.
They're a good club, He'll probably develop well
Heart have apparently been bought by the Melbourne Storm owners for $9m.

ridiculous that they wouldn't sell the licence to South Melbourne if they've gone and done this

Melbourne Heart sold to Storm owners for $9m
OWNERS of embattled A-League club Melbourne Heart are understood to have agreed to a $9 million sale of the club to the same company that owns NRL club the Melbourne Storm.
Rumours of the sale swept the sport on Saturday night as the Heart slumped to yet another loss, this time 3-1 to arch-rival Melbourne Victory in the Melbourne Derby at AAMI Park.
It was the club's 16th straight game without a win, keeping it rooted to the bottom of the table and putting further pressure on under-fire coach John Aloisi.
Aloisi is struggling to retain his job, but that has been overtaken by the events regarding Heart's sale.
The Storm is owned by New Zealand entrepreneur Bart Campbell, having bought the club off News Corp Australia (publisher of The Australian) in May.
Negotiations for the sale of the Heart have been going on since the start of the season. The Australian reported on October 10 that a sale to the Storm was imminent, though co-owner Peter Sidwell said at the time there "was no truth to the sale" on the eve of the season opener against Victory.
Sidwell did not reply to The Australian yesterday. Heart chief executive Scott Munn denied yesterday the club had been sold.
"We have been approached numerous times in the last year. We are on record saying there have been six or seven approaches, some that have been absolutely inappropriate, some that have been interesting," Munn said. "But the club is not for sale. We will continue to talk to people if they want to help grow the club, to invest in it and help improve the league. It would be foolish if we said we didn't."
Asked if the Storm had bought the club, Munn paused before giving a more considered answer.
"I am not privy to who owns the Storm. All the talk is about me and the club," Munn said. "As I said, we have had different approaches and the club's owners have a clear goal to deliver in the long term for the success of the Heart."
A former barrister in the New Zealand High Court, Campbell is regarded as a mover and shaker. His company manages All Blacks superstars Richie McCaw and Dan Carter.
The Heart, which is understood to be one of the few A-League outfits to turn a profit last season, was also the target of a huge approach from Victorian state league club and former National Soccer League giant South Melbourne, but that was turned down.
Meanwhile, Munn says Aloisi remains under pressure while taking a swipe at former Socceroo Mark Bosnich, now an analyst for Fox Sports.
Bosnich upset the Heart camp and Aloisi when he asked the coach during an interview after the match if he would consider resigning in the wake of the club's poor results. Aloisi hit back saying, "Bozza, you don't know me well then" and "I am not a quitter".
Munn defended Aloisi. "John is the ultimate professional and Bozza is paid to give an opinion, one that is not necessarily an educated one. But that's fine," Munn said. "Fox Sports is good for the game, but Bozza probably lost a bit of respect from some people after last night's silly statement."

IMO it's only a matter of time before the FFA cave to the compelling case SMFC have put forward into letting them come back into the league. I welcome it - but I hope there's three Melbourne teams as opposed to replacing one.
the more teams there are the greater the chance of having single ethnic (supporter) clubs. ill then be forced to follow anglo grubby leagueQuote:

So 9 of the last 15 games are at home if we can turn Turton Rd into fortress we surely must be in good stead to make the six.
Heart
CCM X2
WSW
Roar
Glory
are the remaining away games.
we'll choke and miss the six by a point
RM said top 6 is a must so it won't be all gloom if we miss out.
lulz.Quote:
