SST twitter report heart are being sold to Melbourne storm.

Bl chris/Benjamin?

-PB

nailed it.

On the upside, if true, at least we will have a team with a wealth of experience on salary cap rorting, should give Sydney a run for their money :-"

Interesting!
Penrith can't by WSW.
But okay for Storm to buy Heart?
Can see how that will work in Melbourne?

But but, Heart owners and shareholders are happy at the club :-$

Wot.

Well, this seems to have of come out of no where. At first, thought the OP might've seen the "troll" account that is floating around...

You forgot Newcastle. If true then Gallop will have to veto the deal based on his recent comments

Difference being nrl club directly owning al club vs larger org owning the 2 clubs as separate concerns under banner of larger parent org?

Key difference is a sports holding company of England based kiwi private Rugby club owners and a local member owned rugby league club.

P.S. Is this not the same thing as the Jets and Knights with Tinkle Toes?

South's position is very clear - we made our final offer, which was rejected. We are happy to bide our time and wait for future expansion. We're currently fighting (and winning) a much bigger fight to protect the existing South Melbourne rather than any future part of the South Melbourne club.

If another consortium is prepared to pay more than South were prepared to pay - good luck to them.

Or maybe the FFA & Heart owners simply didn't want to let South in. ;)

Fwiw tinkler bought the jerks first

@SocStoppageTime @LeedsHeartWhite @MHFCIndex @MelbourneHeart @MelbourneStorm only on here for a few mins but I have heard the same .

Yes. This is more like the Tinkler situation than the Penrith deal.

Only on here for a few minutes but as @SocStoppageTime reported earlier mail is strong Melb storm on verge of buying Melb heart

They have a great hit-rate. They've got 2 things wrong, lay off it.

:lol: :lol:

Milligan,Leijer,Fred,Carle,Vukovic, Adelaide lads. That's a bit more than 2, and I've probably missed some :lol:

:lol: yeah I bit.

But it's embarrassing how they're treated on here. They're simply a group trying to break new to Aus football fans, and some blokes give them shit despite haul of broken stories this offseason.

Rather than I concentrate on what they got wrong, how bout you show me what they got right (cos I'm honestly not keeping track)?

Well I can tell you for sure that two of Heart's shareholders didn't want to sell to South, the others didn't have an issue. Wouldn't surprise me at all if the identity of the buyer made a difference.

I'll rephrase:

"If another consortium is prepared to make a more attractive offer than South made - good luck to them."

As I said, South have a more important fight to win.

What's more embarrassing is idiots that continue to take their "scoops" as gospel when they have been wrong more times than not over the offseason.

Anything that they have gotten correct so far had either already been reported or making the rumour rounds.

They're nothing more than pathetic buzz thieves.

Ironic ironic ironic
puts a smile on my face

Peter Sidwell, oneof the owners of Melbourne Heart, has confirmed by text message to me that there is NO sale of Melbourne Heart.

All very odd that this rumour (or news) comes out a few days before a season.

People have been way off the mark before and may well be the case again.

I can see value in the MS owners taking a stake in the club, or even trying to buy the whole MH license, given that it would likely be able to negotiate a stronger rental deal at AAMi Park and potentially broaden both clubs supporter base with a year round offering.

The most interesting part would be if this did happen, would MH move its training base to AAMI Park, to join the MS? Now that would be.. interesting to say the least :lol:
