Kris Boyd reckons that Tony Bloom’s proposed investment in Hearts could lead them to title glory in the long-term.
The Brighton chairman has guided the Seagulls from the English Football League to Premier League force capable of clinching deals like a £30m move for Matt O’Riley from Celtic. Hearts have been in talks with Bloom over an investment deal and to take advantage of his analytics-driven approaches that have proven successful elsewhere.
Brighton are the face of his success but over in Belgium at another club Bloom is involved with, Union Saint Gilloise have finished runners-up in the top flight when mixing it with sides such as Anderlecht and Club Brugge. They have also lifted a Belgian Cup
“I would imagine in the next few months that is exactly what will happen at Tynecastle. I don’t think it is a certainty but there will be more of a chance. There’s similar traits when you look at Belgium, when you take the big ones of Club Brugge and Anderlecht, you could argue they’re like Rangers and Celtic, Union have been able to come through and challenge them. I think it could be done if the transfer recruitment policy is done correctly.
