Sure mate and it had nothing to do with the club needing to sell players to cover its debt? CCM do it every year as well for that very purpose.

Don't be fooled Heart aren't magically producing players they may have an eye for talent but all they care about is selling there good players to cover its running debts. They will scrafice success in order to make $$$.
interesting to see if the Heart continue this route considering they made a profit this season and the TV money will help cover wages, but don't come out and try to fool the public that selling players means youth development because its not every club can sell players.
I'm sure if Victory wanna sell Connor Pain or Nick Ansell there would be a clubs somewhere that would want them at the right price, but Victory ain't in a position like Heart where or is in to have a fire sale. We are More interested in Winning the league :)

Look all I was pointing out is yes concentrate on youth whatever but there is no need to preach as much as the Heart do on the matter because then every time they sign a 30+ has beens (which they have signed a few in the past), it just makes them like like idiots and the old "Youth policy" jokes will always come out.
Let it evolve and take care of itself like every other club does in the end it would be judged on its merits like it should.

Still a bunch of hypocrites..

Melbourne Heart has been forced to delay its much-anticipated unveiling of Harry Kewell – because it doesn't know where he is.

Heart CEO Scott Munn arrived in London on Monday expecting to ink an incentive-based contract with Kewell, who had agreed to play for the minimum wage of $48,000 as the club’s stellar capture for the 2013-2014 A-League season.

The contract includes a pay-per-play component which would send his salary well into six figures.

Instead, Heart officials have been left hanging on nervously wondering whether Kewell, 34, is making an eleventh hour attempt to join a European club rather than commit to a homecoming.

Planning was so far advanced in the great Kewell caper that pay-tv had been alerted and was on standby to beam his anointment as a Heart player back to Australia.

However, Munn and the TV cameras have been forced to wait.

Munn – who did not answer calls on Tuesday – remains in the English capital anticipating Kewell’s return, and confirmation that he will commit to Heart.

It’s believed that Socceroos coach Holger Osieck’s preference for Australian players to opt for Europe over the A-League, Asia and the Middle East whenever possible may be weighing on Kewell’s mind as he ponders his next, and final, career move.

He was overlooked for June’s FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Japan, Jordan and Iraq after not being deemed fit enough following nine months out of the game and just a four-match stint with Al Gharafa in Qatar as an injury replacement for Mark Bresciano.

This potential setback has ominous echoes of Heart’s last venture into the market for a big-name Socceroo when Australia skipper Lucas Neill flirted outrageously with the club four months ago only to dump it at the altar and opt for Sydney FC instead. He subsequently apologised for the backflip.

Heart officials will be hoping it’s not a case of history repeats and sources in England say Kewell may very well still sign with Heart and a make a second coming to Melbourne after his one-season stint with crosstown rival Victory brought mixed reviews and ended with his exit to England for family reasons just over a year ago.

However, his disappearance has left the club on tenterhooks.

Newcastle Jets, the other major A-League player in the race for the former Leeds, Liverpool and Galatasaray star was knocked out of the running with the club unwilling to up its ante by $100,000, leaving Heart with a seemingly free run.

lol typical gone walkabouts
 
TWG doesn't have a great track record when it comes to breaking stories relating to Melbourne Heart... think I'll wait for an official announcement either way. Not fussed if he doesn't join, I've never really liked him.
 
looks like heart are getting closer and closer to signing him....

first game will be interesting

I can't believe it's news that he's been left out of the Australian squad, surely that would be assumed by most people these days, he's past his best and has very little left, Heart would be lucky to get half a season of decent football out of him if he did move there.

Aren't they signing him for minimum wage? Pop a fork in him, he's done.
 
Kewell officially signs 1 year deal with the Melbourne Heart.

Boy is he gonna cop it from the Victory fans round 1.

lol you actually think Kewell will be seen in a wheelie bin?? No way he'll have his own training facilities away from that Heart dump.

Anyway good luck to him hope he actually does well, can't say the same for Heart through, hypocrites.
 
I don't see how Heart are hypocrites. The club have been telling their members for the last six months that they are focussing on a) improving the match day experience for the fans (better seating plans, fan approved walk out song, opening up the Yarraside to GA) and b) signing a couple of well-known names to get the Heart brand out there. Harry Kewell is well known and when he signs on for peanuts its even better! Still need a marquee and Garcia to re-sign though. So no, Heart aren't hypocrites.

That youth policy crap? that was said once by the club in season one, the only people who bang on about that are Victory fans now. We are proud of the players we have helped go onto Europe but the club is not saying they are the best at youth development. Really that would have to be either Brisbane or CCM. Get off your high horse and stop living in 2010. The youth policy has been dead since season one. They only new youth talent who really shone last year for the Heart was Jez Walker. Aloisi is the manager now not JVS, and he has never made the claim there is a special youth policy at the Heart. Hypocrites? No.

Sure whatever mate.
 
I don't think there's a worse demographic of supporters in Australia. Either part-time supporters, bandwagoners, or people who won't give Heart a chance (wanting a successful competition won't undermine your support for your team). Such entitlement and smuggery.

We are there cross town rivals ffs!! its our job, No doubt they do the some thing to us too just go back two years when we signed Harry and the s**t they were saying about us and Harry as well.

It does go both ways mate Heart fans ain't angels when it comes to banter especially over the Victory.
 
And he joins the ever growing list of Victory rejects to join the Heart. Good luck to him, and hope the Heart can build their crowds and overall supporter base as a result, cos really they've done nothing much in that regard since their inception. Round 1 is going to be juicy!
 
"Not our style, our goal is to uncover the next Harry Kewell. The circus comes to town and then leaves." - Scott Munn the CEO of Melbourne Heart when Victory signed him two years ago.
