Bozza Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 The times they are a changin, sang Bob Dylan, and that rings true for our beloved club Melbourne Heart. Coinciding with the momentous change of ownership, the MHFC Supporters group and The Big Heart blog have decided to unite under the official supporters banner, Red & White Unite. This is aimed at growing a more active online social supporters group that hopefully also builds our club’s membership. read more at http://www.redwhiteunite.com/red-and-white-unite-with-the-big-heart/ I am looking forward to this developing and encourage any of you keen on writing anything to get in touch with the boys via their blog or contact@redwhiteunite.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Brush up on your geography Bozza. Our new owners are not "Manchurian" but "Mancunian." They are Neither !! Well, maybe, maybe not. The money behind the move might come from the Middle East - although that in itself is debatable - does the money come from those who purchased the oil or those who sold it? - but the official statement issued by MHFC reads (in part) as follows: 1000hrs - 23 January 2014, Melbourne: A consortium led by Manchester City Football Club has acquired Melbourne Heart FC effective immediately. The consortium also includes the ownership group of the Melbourne Storm as minority shareholders with a 20 percent stake. Ferran Soriano, CEO of Manchester City, said: “We are excited about the opportunity to make Melbourne Heart one of the most successful football clubs in Australia and throughout the region. We believe the strong sports culture of Melbourne combined with the football and commercial expertise within our consortium will make for a powerful combination both on and off the pitch”. Bart Campbell, Chairman of the holding company Heart Consortium Group and Chairman of the Melbourne Storm NRL side, said: “Partnering with City to co-invest in Melbourne Heart will further strengthen the sporting landscape in one of the world’s greatest cities and bring a range of new capabilities to AAMI Park. We are excited to be a part of this unique project. It is our shared ambition to replicate the model that City created with the New York Yankees around New York City FC and for both organisations to benefit as a result”. http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/melbourneheart/news-display/Club-Statement/83936 IMO, in the context of what Bozza wrote the word he was looking for was indeed "Mancunian."
