Excellent, excellent work from the chairman.
Only one aspect of all this concerns me now - Bennett's attitude to all this. I am hoping he can appreciate the lengths Brighton rate him, how much he is wanted by colleagues and fans alike, and that he can put all of this behind him as quickly as possible.
Gary Dicker calls him an absolute professional, so I am confident that this will be sooner rather than later.
I'm sure he'll be professional, and obviously if he wants to leave its in his interests to play as well as he can. he will know we wanted him to stay, so he's going to feel "warm and fuzzy" towards us as well. But there is the worry his head will be a bit messed up, he might try TOO hard, and so a dip in form could be around the corner. I hope if that happens we don't get on his back. This will be a real test of Gus the man-manager.

This was clear from the start. Bloom could afford a pissed-off player and to be a million worse off (which is really peanuts considering what he has put into the club) if he could keep Poyet happy. And so it proved.
So, alls well that ends well. What have we learnt from all this then. Not a lot really apart from reinforcing the good things about our club at the moment.
Tony Bloom is now officially the King of Brighton and Hove IMO. Well he already was but you know what I mean.
Gus has played it about right and as he says it wasn`t really down to him.
As for Bennett, well he needs to just play his heart out and get us promoted and we`ll all move on with no hard feelings. These things happen when you have good players.

Sadly for you guys, you've already lost him........mentally, okay, we won't get him, but someone will soon.
And if we do get promoted, he's going to end up hating your club.
Sad all round.

But not as sad as registering on a rival club's messageboard (and even uploading an image), and writing glib nonsense.
When you fail to go up and have to off load your better players to cut your debt Bennett will see he made a mistake when we will be playing you next season.
Don't be surprised if Lambert is poached as well.
Bless. Thanks, we hadn't thought of all that. You can toddle off back to your dull farming community forum now.
They`ll upset your tummy, eating fruit like that.
Shuffle off back to the big eared boys now will you.
You didn't match our valuation for him, that was the only reason he didn't go.
Very difficult to take anything a inbred from Norwich has to say when your "majority chef, sorry stakeholder" comes out with utter shit like:
Where are you? Where are you? Let's be 'avin' you! Come on!
Please jog on and talk about something you do understand -turkey farming
I was working on the assumption we would. Then next season we'd be in exactly the same boat as Norwich, and Bennett would see there was no advantage in the move. If we don't go up and norwich stay in the championship they'd still have the higher division over us. I thought that was implied.

Stop with the inbred jibs - really pathetic and boring,the equivalent of everyone saying we're gay. Just not funny, believe me, they've heard it all before. And if you're laughing, then your sense of comedy and timing is absolutely dreadful. Norwich's a lovely city, arguably one of the best this country has to offer. And Norfolk's a wonderful county.

The only people he can blame are himself and his agent
We had no reason to sell him having just rewarded him with a new three and a half year contract with no doubt improved terms.

Asked if a £1 million bid was accurate. Gus' It was getting close, it wasn't about about how much, they really pushed him' 'they made it very difficult'
A couple of replies on here have alluded to the quote from Gus saying "they really pushed him" as if he`s referring to Bennett, but is he referring to Tony Bloom?, Ive read and re-read the full quote on the argus website and I`m still not sure he`s not referring to TB being pushed by Norwich, especially as if it refers to Bennett its basically saying they tapped him up and I`m not sure Gus meant that, or did he? What do you think?

My first impressions from that quote was Bennett being tapped up.
How can 1 million be pushing Bloom?

Once TB came out and said Bennett was staying then that was going to be the only outcome. Bloom has delivered on everything he has promised and he wasn't going to sully his reputation on a matter as important as this.
As for the Norwich fan's comments, well, it is clear he doesn't know the player or the team spirit we have. I would put a lot of money on Benno playing just as well for the remainder of the season, starting tonight.
