So Melbourne Heart paid JVS $700k to finish eighth(out of eleven) in a season where you lost about $3 million and attracted an average attendance of 8,315(average without the derbies was 5,828) which was inflated by hosting two home derbies(next season you only get to host one)and you think that is value for money?

I hope the Heart do well, but seriously Kosmina would provide better value for money.

Cheap stats there Joffa. Heart started up in one of the most congested sporting zones in the world, during one of the most dire years since the HAL's inception and almost clinched a finals spot with a bunch of guys who only met each other (mostly) 7 months prior.

The value of JvS is yet to be proved, but I'm watching the way he brings the young guys through. If he can build a great team from decent young players, then MHFC have a great shot at being viable on the field and on the balance sheet.


Fair enough, I agree with you that the worth of JVS has yet to be proved. I for one hope he does prove he is value for money and I also hope the Heart succeed.
