It's the reason we haven't seen him go so far.

I said go north, but not that far north!

Seriously if it means change at board and club management for Heart it can only be upwards for them.

Apparently Tony Fernandes, the owner of QPR is involved. This is the rumour I've heard. Not sure if anyone else has?
Couldn't be doing any worse than what they're doing now! Their whole board/administration is a shambles, always has been.

MUSCAT ADMITS VICTORY WEREN'T AT THEIR BEST

Muscat admits Victory weren't at their b...'Buyer ready' for Me...
EMBATTLED A-League club Melbourne Heart is understood to be close to being sold to a company that owns NRL club, Melbourne Storm.

Rumours of the sale swept the sport last 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 loss in succession and continued to put pressure on under fire coach John Aloisi.

Heart gift-wrap Victory derby win

It is believed negotiations for the sale of Heart have been going on since the start of the season.

The Australian reported in October that there was something in the wind, though co-owner Peter Sidwell said, via a text message, that there "was no truth to the sale'' on the eve of the opening game of the season against Victory.

Heart chief executive Scott Munn denied today that 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.

"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 was involved in the talks, Munn said there was no truth to it.

However, there was a very long pause and a considered answer when asked if the company that own Storm was involved in talks.

"I am not privy to who owns the Storm. All the talk is about me and the club.

"As I said, we have had different approaches and the club's owners have a clear goal to deliver on the long term for the success of the Heart.''

If this ends up being another false story, I will laugh my head off and there should be a few 'journalists' who should just retire over their use of the wrong sources :lol:

If it ends up being true, fantastic. The club needs a change. Major survey more like it, and the only people who can do that are those who can invest time, money and have some clue about making a club be successful.

I know its bad, but I have given up this year. I can't be bothered taking time out of my schedule to go to matches when all we see is lame performances and a coach who seems to get away with murder. If things don't change, I wont be going to another game this year and yes, I have a membership. I frankly just don't care.

Bring on new owners I say.

This will turn out like the wwf after the invasion, and the moment the handover is completed, some greek guy will come out to the greek national anthem, and yell 'THE CONSORTIUM WAS ME WOOO' then take off his shirt and he'll have a SMFC underneath.

Well he did try to buy the Phoenix so its not so far fetched. The guy is kind of a con artist though. Upside is that he owns Racing de Santander.
