Hearts boss McInnes is fully on board with Bloom's ambitions as Tynecastle men get season off to a fine start
Brighton owner Bloom was at Tynecastle last night to watch Hearts open their Premiership campaign with a richly deserved win over Aberdeen.
Earlier in the day, Bloom had claimed Hearts are already capable of splitting the Old Firm and finishing second in the table this season.
McInnes, who revealed he will sit down for discussions with Bloom for the first time today, is more than happy to buy into the English entrepreneur's vision as seeks an on-field return on his £10million stake in Hearts.
'I knew what Tony was going to say ahead of him saying it and I've got absolutely no problem with it at all,' said the Hearts manager.
'There are so many people like Tony who are ambitious and want Hearts to be successful. He has come in with a fresh pair of eyes and come out to say exactly what he wants. It's what we all want at the club.
'We've got work to do. We've got to come from a long way back as a bottom six club last season but I think we can make progress.
'We are still working off the same budget as the last couple of seasons but Tony, myself and others feel we can bridge the gap and maybe get ahead of others is through recruitment.
'We can be a lot smarter and better on that side of it. Hopefully it gets us closer to the teams with more money than us.
'It's not to say it's a certainty, we've got work to do to achieve it. I'm aware of that and I'm just enjoying working with the players. We're still a long way off where we want to be.
'Tony would have loved hearing his name sung as well. I knew Tony was coming up for the game for a while.
'I haven't spoken to him yet, we've exchanged a few text messages, and we will sit down tomorrow.
'I think he would have enjoyed the game and the result because, as he said, he just wants to see a winning Hearts team more often than not. That's what we all want.'
McInnes was gratified by his team's display as Graeme Shinnie's own goal and a Stuart Findlay header secured all three points.
'Every manager wants to get the first league win as soon as possible and I thought we were thoroughly deserving,' he added.
'We came out the traps strongly and were probably worthy of going into half-time a couple of goals ahead.
'I don't think we were brilliant in the second half, but when we got the second goal we managed the game brilliantly from there.
'It was a tough game, as you'd expect against Aberdeen. What we've got in there is a bunch of lads who are screaming to do well, fully motivated. We can play better, but it was a good start. We'll take the three points and move on.'
Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin was left dismayed by a lacklustre performance from his team, whose start to the season doesn't get any easier with a home game against champions Celtic on Sunday.
'In the first half we were disappointed with our performance because Hearts the battle with second balls,' said Thelin.
'We had to do better. In the second half there were less mistakes and we created chances, but in the 50-50 duels we have to do better in the future.
'We knew what we were going to face today. It's going to be a different type of game against Celtic.'

How will my pension be impacted by inheritance tax?
Q. I understand pensions will be brought into the realm of inheritance tax (IHT) in the next couple of years but I wondered if there was any information concerning how the value of the pension will be assessed? Other assets have a financial value which is easily understood. They may also be given away and, provided that the rules are adhered to, may avoid IHT. I do not believe the same can be said for pensions. My understanding is that they cannot be given away during your lifetime, which is why the government is looking to include them within the IHT assessment. The real value of a pension may depend on the tax treatment it will be subjected to. When a pension is assessed for IHT purposes, is it the full value of the remaining pension that becomes part of the estate for IHT? Please note I live in Scotland — will this affect the income tax charged to my beneficiaries?Neil As you note, from April 2027 the government has confirmed unspent pensions will count towards your estate for IHT purposes, meaning more people will be affected by the tax. That said, despite IHT being one of the most unpopular taxes in the UK, it is levied on a minority of households — so it might not affect you at all. About 5 per cent of deaths result in any IHT being paid, though the inclusion of pensions may double this proportion. You will need to exhaust your nil-rate band of £325,000 and main-residence nil-rate band of £175,000 (an extra allowance for those leaving their home to a direct descendant on estates worth up to £2 million) before any of your estate is exposed to an IHT charge of 40 per cent. Furthermore, if your estate, including any pensions after April 2027, is being inherited by your spouse or civil partner, there will be no IHT to pay at all. And in general terms, it is best not to let the tax tail wag the pensions or investment dog. To confirm, it will be the full value of your pension, before income tax, that is assessed for inheritance tax. Tax, including IHT, is clearly a consideration when making retirement decisions, but it should not be the only consideration. If you die before age 75 your pension, up to a limit of £1,073,100, can usually be passed without your beneficiaries having to pay income tax when they withdraw it. Above the limit they will pay tax at their normal rate. If you die after age 75, your beneficiaries will pay income tax on all of the funds at their normal rate. These rules will still apply when defined contribution (DC) pensions become subject to IHT from April 2027. For those unfamiliar with the jargon, a DC pension is a retirement pot where how much you build up is based on what you pay in and investment growth. Your contributions benefit from upfront tax relief, the growth is tax-free and your money available to access as you wish — with up to a quarter available to take tax-free — usually from age 55 (rising to age 57 from April 2028). The alternative is a defined benefit (DB) pension, where you are paid an income for life, though these are increasingly rare as they are so expensive to fund. Where it can be passed on (usually to a dependant) this income will remain free of IHT when the rules change. Annuities, an insurance product that pays an income for life, which can sometimes be passed to a named beneficiary, will also remain IHT-free. However, certain lump sum death benefits from defined benefit (DB) schemes will be subject to IHT from April 2027. Broadly, any money left in a DC pension pot on death — whether it's untouched or has been put into 'drawdown' — will count towards your estate for IHT purposes. IHT will only become a factor if passing it on to someone other than a spouse or civil partner and the total value of your estate exceeds your IHT nil-rate bands. In terms of valuing DC pensions, that shouldn't be a problem as they are all cash amounts. On gifting, there is nothing stopping you accessing your DC pension and handing the money to loved ones. Provided that you live for seven years after making the gift, this money should be IHT-free. On income tax, these proposals are UK-wide but it will be the income tax rate that applies to your beneficiaries in the country they live that will apply. Income tax rates in Scotland are different from those in England and Wales, with a lower starter rate of 19 per cent on income between £12,571 to £15,397 a year, but a number of extra income bands and a top rate of 48 per cent on income above £125,140, instead of 45 per cent. Any beneficiaries living there could pay a higher tax bill if they withdrew a large sum in one year than if they lived elsewhere.

Scottish council staff off sick at record rate
The level of absence among council staff is at its highest level on record as local authorities are urged to improve their workforce planning. Figures released by the Accounts Commission on Thursday showed the absence rate among non-teacher staff rose to an average of 13.9 days in 2023-24 compared with 10.8 in 2010-11. During the same time, the teacher absence rate increased from 6.6 days to 7.6 days. • We are in a new era of health in the workplace — things must change In a report the commission urged councils to plan their workforce into the future, especially given the age of staff. While 35 per cent of staff — the highest level — are between 25 and 44, a total of 27 per cent of workers are between 45 and 54. There are 29 per cent of workers aged 55 to 64. The commission said: 'Addressing rising sickness absence, embracing innovation and digital technology, and increased collaborative working will all be necessary to attract and retain staff and ensure we all continue to benefit from a skilled and motivated local government workforce.' Local authorities should align their workforce plans with their own priorities, the report said. The commission added that councils were dealing with 'clear and continuing financial pressures' and had to 'transform how they deliver services' to cut costs. 'Auditors report that councils have responded positively to these challenges but that further progress with workforce planning is still needed in light of continuing financial and demand pressures,' the report said. • Scots out of work for sickness and disability at highest level for 20 years Jennifer Henderson, a member of the Accounts Commission, said: 'We all benefit from a skilled and motivated local government workforce; staff are the most important resource that councils have. 'Councils must fundamentally reform how they deliver services, and Scotland's 260,000 council workers are crucial to this. 'Councils need to align their existing workforce plans with their priorities so they can ensure their workforces are the right size and shape, and their staff have the skills they will need. In particular, they need to ensure workers have the digital skills necessary for the scale of changes ahead. 'We have seen many councils already responding to this challenge, and there are valuable opportunities for local bodies to learn from each other.'
