00:00Barry, before we go into the season review, I should probably just touch on the news about Tony Bloom's proposal being a landslide pass by the foundation of Harts.
00:10Harts fans are pretty keen to see the logic behind it because the rest of them voted in pretty significant numbers for Tony Bloom's proposal.
00:17As we said right from the outset, absolute no-brainer for Harts to welcome him on board when you see the success that other clubs have had with him involved.
00:24Union San Gilway obviously crowned the Belgian champions there at the weekend.
00:30I think that's seven years since Tony Bloom and Jamestown got involved with them.
00:34They were in the second division at the time, so you can see the kind of progress they've made.
00:37Brighton's well documented how they've risen, got promotion at the English Premier League and some of the players that they've signed and sold on while still maintaining themselves as an established Premier League club.
00:50Exciting, I think, is probably the best way to describe it for Harts.
00:55I don't think anybody should be expecting that next season they'll be winning the league or even up challenging for the league.
01:01I don't see it being that kind of rapid upward trajectory.
01:06It'll be quite gradual and steady, but if they give Tony Bloom time and the fans get behind them,
01:14then I'm pretty sure that the influence that he's got and obviously the partnership they have with Jamestown will certainly lead to a big improvement.
01:22And I think Harts were congratulating Union San Gilway on their first title in just over 90 years or something like that, certainly in the Belgian top flight.
01:31And as you say, I think Harts fans will see that news and you already begin to plan the how far could you take a Premiership trophy parade type stuff.
01:41If you begin to think of that type of fantasyful situation in four and five years, the scenes at Aberdeen over the weekend as well with the Scottish Cup maybe in a shorter term showing.
01:52It's those type of things that fans will begin to dream about with this type of thing because it is so unique and it's not something every Scottish club is going to get.
01:59We'll see you next time.
