Interesting question, where the energy for this partnership is coming from; and why there was not some exploration of the potential of the existing link between the Community Foundation and Livingston, Zambia. Partnerships of this kind can be really, really good for both partners, but there are pitfalls too.....

The Austin/Hart involvement/ownership of the club suggests this is not all going to end well, despite an enjoyable season in the main.
Hart? Who's that? |

@boeta - Hart?
RWB - I think I'd understand it more if we were on level footing financially.. Well sort of. Don't get why it's a priority now. And a former money launderer linking with Pakistan makes me nervous.
probably hopefully a rediculous paranoid overreaction. I genuinely hope so

this sounds in no way dodgy
Parent that pays the most money gets the visa… sorry I mean opportunity. Hopefully just our years of financial mismanagement making us cynical. |

Who is this Hart? I'm not sure what you are trying to imply, what has Rob/Clem done to make you think that. |

As this is being lead by Zavier, assume he has contacts in Pakistan, which is why that country has been chosen? |

I agree it is odd timing and the club has no history of overseas engagement of this sort (where some lower league clubs have). I have some experience of developing these links, including some involvement with the Zambia link, and, in the right context, and with careful planning at both ends, they can be excellent; but they can also be a disaster.

Yep.
I’ve heard him mentioned but surely it’s not THAT Adam Hart of mid 2000’s infamy?! |

He’s was a director in one of Austin’s companies, there’s a former U.K. most wanted of the same name and age that I think people have suggested is the same guy. It can’t be the same guy, even we wouldn’t be that unlucky. |

Wishful thinking unfortunately. (so I understand - 2nd/3rd hand info but no reason to doubt)
