jw1739 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 3. We need to keep playing at AAMI (unless we were to build our own ground) Don't think they'll be investing that much money mate! AAMI is a beautiful ground to play at regardless. Neither do I, but I just wanted to put in there to negate any smart ass that came along and said what if they built a new ground I wouldn't worry about it. The people who as from 10.00 this morning own our club have enough dosh to build a home ground and a private railway to it...and buy off any opposition that there might be... But it won't come to that. We'll have a home base for training etc. etc. but use AAMI Park as our home ground. Until we grow too big for it...

ForestHeart Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_FC I think it will be a colour and name change ... if you see what happened with their team ... New York City FC. Melbourne City FC in the pale blue ... following this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mulhollanddrive Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 We got rid of our history the day after JVS left the first time! This is our real beginning, we will be owned by this guy and his consortium potentially for the rest of our lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defibrillator Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 This is stunning news - simply stunning. Can't get the smile off my face. Looking forward to a pre-season match against City in June or July filling the MCG. An immediate impact would be to loan us one of their many talented kids right now who can bang in goals - would just fuel the excitement and give us something tangible to show their intent. Not too much to ask......????? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sash Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 "Heart will share resources with the Storm, as the consortium involves Orica GreenEDGE cycling team and Jayco Caravans owner Gerry Ryan, who was involved in the purchase of the NRL club from News Limited, publishers of the Herald Sun." Even without the Man City involvement, the involvement of Bart Campbell and Gerry Ryan would've been exciting on it's own. But the whole thing is mind blowing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post cadete Posted January 23, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) On the worry front: 1. I highly doubt the FFA would let their be two Sky Blues or two Blue teams in Melbourne, so I doubt we will see a Colour Change. 2. If PPL are upset about altering our name slightly, look up the clubs that made up the NSL on Wikipedia and get over it... Name Changing is Aussie Sokka Folklore. 3. As hediak pointed out: We will always be "Heart/The Hearts" as us fans will always call us "The Hearts".

belaguttman Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Better brush up on my Man city history I suppose BUT HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!! Bela was always worried about getting some real football people in - well me thinks that this fits the bill. Players should be buoyed by this and they better be fully pumped for the game against AU! Yep, Bela is happy. Of course the devil is always in the detail and that is thin on the ground at the moment but at least we are owned by football people so our primary purpose will be to be to be a football club rather than to be profitable. Its great for the league as a whole and for us in particular. The specific appointments will be important - admin, coaching team, and I'd love to hear comments about their football philosophy and specific infrastructure to support it. Mrs Bela is also happy, her uncle was a Man City goalie. Edited January 23, 2014 by belaguttman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 To the bloke complaining about the takeover...what did we stand for anyway? It was never really clear nor was it ever achieved. In this day and age, identity in a football club, especially in the A-League, is complete bullshit. Football is a business, a big business, and those who have the most money and resources win championships because they can buy better players, better managers/coaches and draw bigger crowds. In three full seasons we made the finals once (just), we have one of the lowest attendance averages and are the laughing stock of the league, with a winning record (for every league match) of just over 26 per cent. That is the result of penny-pinching owners focusing, for good or ill, on building a sustainable club with good fundamentals. That is fine, and has served us well, except it is time for change. It was business-savvy of the previous owners, not football-savvy. The time has come, and Sidwell et al. alluded to this in their statement, to pass the Club into the hands of experienced owners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD. Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I welcome the name 'Melbourne City FC' means a logo change) but we need to be red and white and play out of AAMI. All of this happens. I'll be happy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torn Asunder Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I can't think of a bigger A-League story in the history of the A-league - massive for the league (and personal vindication for never supporting Geelong Victory - they will soon be the known as the second Victorian club). All members and fans who have supported this club from the beginning, need to get to the rest of our home games and show the new owners how much we love this club! Welcome Manchester City and thank you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalHeart Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Like others happy for a name change and to be nicknamed "hearts" but will be disappointed if a colour change follows. However as stated above dont think FFA will allow it and it appears as if we will be staying at AAMI. So freaking excited, can't wait for us to have a fixed training base close to the CBS (fuck off Epping) have a W-League team and have owners that will NOT accept mediocrity. Buzzing!!!!
