MELBOURNE Heart is planning for life after John Aloisi with the under-siege coach hanging on to his job by a thread while finally confirming that sale talks were taking place.

Aloisi cancelled training on Saturday as he and the club considered his future after ­Friday night's 1-0 loss to Wellington left Heart six points behind second-last Phoenix and winless in 17 games - two shy of New Zealand Knights' A-League record.

Aloisi, who has another year left on his contract after this season, has lost 24 of his 39 games as A-League coach while recording just eight wins and seven draws.

The Herald Sun on Friday revealed a $12 million sale to a consortium led by Melbourne Storm chairman Bart Campbell was imminent and Heart broke its ­silence yesterday confirming talks commenced four months ago and were ongoing.

"Melbourne Heart has been approached by a number of parties over the past 12 months,'' the statement said.

"The club has always maintained that the owners would consider transferring ownership if they considered the sale to be in the best long-term interests of the club, which includes players, staff and members.

"Over the last four months the club's ownership has held discussions with one particular group who has expressed an interest in growing the club.

"Any discussions will ensure the club's existing ­structures remain, in order to prevent dislocation to the club's ­philosophies or personnel.''

It's an intriguing backdrop to Aloisi's future.

Sections of Friday's 6486 AAMI Park crowd chanted "Aloisi out'' and "You're s--t, and we still turn up'' at the final ­whistle. With Harry Kewell back in action only suspended Patrick Kisnorbo and injured marquee Orlando Engelaar were missing from Heart's best XI against the battling Kiwis.

Former coach and now technical manager John van't Schip is favoured to take over from Aloisi if he departs.

Van't Schip, who returned to the club on a part-time basis this season, flew back to ­Europe after last week's Melbourne derby.

There's no respite for Heart, which travels to Central Coast Mariners next Sunday followed by a tough trip to Perth Glory.

Aloisi did not address the squad after Friday's loss and, as is customary, will review the game at training this week.

"There's going to be pressure on me I know that, but all I can do is make sure I prepare the team to beat the Mariners and to make sure the players are ready,'' Aloisi said.
