I love talking about club owners because I want you guys to see the amount of work that goes on BTS.
For the first time since the Scottish Premiership was established in 2013, a team outside Glasgow challenged for the title, but fell.
Guess the mastermind, yes, TONY BLOOM.
Owner of Brighton, Melbourne Victory and Union Saint-Galloise.
Tony is a serial gambler, in fact, he built a career out of gambling. A graduate of Mathematics who went on to work for one of the Big 4s (EY), quickly knew what he wanted to achieve in life early in his career. Bro wanted to “revolutionalise” gambling.
He went to Asia to work for a gambling company, that was where he learnt about the Asian Handicap options (I’m sure those who bet will know this option😅).
Tony is big on data analytics, and he gained his biggest financial and social capital when everyone gave Brazil less odds to win the World Cup in 1998, he pressured his company to give the lesser odds to France, after he studied them extensively. France ended up winning the World Cup, this was where he started, he returned from Asia, opened his bet company and made loads of money off the Asian handicap he learned in Asia😅
When he opened another company, Starlizard, I read that before you’re employed, you’ll go through serious mathematics tests, the guy use to have more than 200 Data Analysts working for him😭. The way they set their betting odds was totally different from others, they would even consider if it’s raining or if the sun is shining, it will check even the players’ mental state😭, and many other criteria, before odds are set.
While operating Starlizard in the betting markets, he created like a subsidiary company called JAMESTOWN ANALYTICS in 2017, he built a model that focuses on recruiting players and monitoring performance.
This model is a crazy one. It believed that human scouts would have bias, so why not use data analytics.
The model identifies players in small teams or from leagues that you’ll never imagine, leagues where you can buy players with not so much money, just like Caicedo signed from Ecuador, Mitoma from Japan, MacAllister from Argentina, etc.
The model gives every player a rating and market value, it then monitors the players that exceeds their performance expectations and value. It also considers how players fit into different leagues, crazy work I must say.
Tony started to rake in money from just buying players low, and selling them high. He bought USG in Belgium, they had been through a lot, wallowing in the second division.
He applied the Jamestown Analytics model, USG moved from division 2 to the Pro League, they won the league in regular season in their first year from division 2, but lost in the championship play off round. 3 years later they won the league, and the cup subsequently. Players like Undav were part of the scouting at USG back then.
He bought 29% of Hearts in June 2025, the club also secured the exclusive right to Jamestown Analytics model in the Scottish league. This model was applied immediately, and they were able to sign players like Claudio Braga from Norwegian 2nd division, Alexandros Kyziridis from Zemplin in Slovakia, and some other crazy scouting. You can see the kind of markets they’re buying players from.
Hearts almost won the league in just one year of Bloom’s ownership. A man who took Brighton from League One to playing European football, USG from Division 2 to Belgian champions, I’m sure Hearts will taste victory soon.
Ladies and Gentlemen, meet one of the crazier minds, TONY BLOOM
🎥 He was once the world best fighter but lost everything after an opponent k!lled his wife. He lost his titles, wealth, properties and even his daughter 🥹

😡 "I'm here to launch an attack on Cundy and Agbonlahor..."
😤 "Dancing around celebrating!? Makes me sick!"
@JoelBeya is not impressed with Jason Cundy and Gabby Agbonlahor celebrating #AFC's loss to PSG! 🔥
Arsenal:
PL:
22/23 2nd
23/24 2nd
24/25 2nd
25/26 Champions
23/24 quarterfinal
24/25 semifinal

All I know is this team won't give up until they win it.
Hand on heart, I dont feel sad at all. Im so fucking proud of this group. Won us a PL after 22 years and took us to a UCL final. Kings who will be remembered forever. 99% of Europe would want our season.
Thank you Mikel and Thank you Arsenal.
I recognise my football club again.
