Surprised at hearts total.Originally Posted by pv4
A few of those clubs should be embarrassed though.
RoarSmurfs
All 3 for Major Cities should be doing a lot better
At least Perth can lay claim to years of ineptness and Wellington well they are Kiwis after all
I hope we get rebranded like melb city. Happy days ahead
Wrong Hamburg #FCSP
Secretly I hope a Cypriot buys us.
or a Cypocrit
Bring back gold
I hope the Cro's buy us and re-name us the Newcastle Knights.
Decided to do a quick google for some of the current multi club ownership groups that are out there at the moment here's a brief list.
Multiple club owners
Sheikh Mansour Manchester City, New York City FC, Al Jazira (Abu Dhabi), Melbourne Heart.
Pozzo family Watford, Udinese (Italy), Granada (Spain).
Duchâtelet family Charlton Athletic, Standard Liège, Sint-Truiden (both Belgium), Carl Zeiss Jena (Germany), Alcorcon (Spain), Ujpest (Hungary).
Vincent Tan Cardiff City, FK Sarajevo (Bosnia).
Dietrich Mateschitz Red Bull Salzburg (Austria), Red Bull New York, Red Bull Brasil, RB Leipzig

What's the fascination with the foreign club ownership angle??
Can see few of you either were around in the NSL days or have forgotten how much of a debacle the Northern Spirit Glasgow Rangers thing became.
It's all good and well when the parent club seem interested like they currently do at Heart but what happens in a few years time when the initial enthusiasm wanes from the owner and all he sees is money being pissed into a black hole???
I will say it again. The only way forward is to diversify ownership to a group of 4-5 OWNERS where the debts incurred running football clubs are spread about between 4-5 parties and not lumped on one rich bloke who will eventually ask WTF as he continues to piss money into a black hole of debt.
Exact same predicament with Con Tinks etc. The rest of it is just window dressing.
One Rich Bloke owning the club is ALWAYS doomed to inevitable failure
Financial fair play is the difference between now and the northern spirit/rangers debacle.
Please provide us with some current working models of multiple owners.
Victree
4 blokes 25%
Victory, currently looking for more investors because 4 blokes sick of losing so much money?
I guess the counter to that would be SFC. Place has multiple owners and run like a bucket of shit innit?
Victree are one of the few clubs in this country who have turned a profit go close to breaking even so losing money isn't exactly their issue.
As for the Smurfs Plague they ain't run any worse than we are!!!. They are at least financially stable even if onfield they are a joke
The thing with one bloke wanting out of Victree (I read one wanted out unsure if that is the only one) is that the future ain't clouded cause one wants out.
Everytime Tinks/Con or whoever has any issue we are staring down the barrel. DejaVu
Might well be the factor that has encouraged the likes of Man City to buy Heart etc but considering what UEFA are trying to do with the whole idea whats to not see them change/tighten rules so that any advantage City are gaining from their New York Melburn activity are negated??
The Financial Fair Play angle is still a restrictive thing which keeps the elite clubs dining at the head table and and in future will prevent new clubs like Chelsea Man City etc buying success at the expense of the established powers. Would not surprise me at all if the whole thing was a charade from Euros big clubs to keep the likes of Chelsea Man City getting away from them
I actually agree with the Member in that as long as there are stable owners, who cares where they are from etc etc.
Just so happens our local Richie Rich's aren't exactly football lovers and either have the cash but not the passion, or the passion but not the cash.
The bright spot about foreign clubs pissing thier cash up against a wall by investing down here is that no matter how bad our game is going, big clubs will lose more just by screwing up a big signing ('sup Andy Carroll) so we'll probably never show up on thier P&L's.
Oh and the Northern Spirit was the greatest thing that ever happened to the NSL because shitkhunce like Robbie Slayer and Gypo Arnie got screwed over and lost a tonne of cash.
#neverforget
Anyone know if Eddie Obeid likes soccer?
I think we should get that ICAC company to buy us. They're in the news heaps, seem to have loads of cash to throw around. We could play in emerald green and paper bag brown.
And for man of the match awards we can hand out shitty $300 paintings that are then on-sold for $10k to get around the salary cap.
How many lads can we for in the back of a Bentley for away days?
