If You Had to Pick A Side on The Board Room, Who's Side Would You Pick

[Taxman]

Knight or The Blooms??

Seems to be all sorts of rumours flying around today, with divide in the board becoming apparent, so who's side would you chose?

Theres only one way to settle this
FIIIIIGGGGGHHHHTTT

 

[Wozza]

You mean...

Knight with no money

Blooms with finances

 

[Albalbion]

blooms, dk has been great for brighton but money talks.

 

[Icy Gull]

I don't trust the Blooms...and I think DK may be past it, can I have another choice please?

 

[Spider]

Knight, obviously.

 

[Easy 10]

The side with the sherry.

 

[Scotty Mac]

money talks - as glen murrays signing indicates

 

[Lokki 7]

I don't trust the Blooms...

Out of interest, why not?

 

[Tricky Dicky]

I doubt very few people have enough real facts to make any sort of decision or comparison. Most of what is posted on here is pure speculation, most of it unfounded, and 90% plain wrong.

 

[Simster]

I don't trust the Blooms...and I think DK may be past it, can I have another choice please?

I too would be interested in knowing why you don't trust the multi-millionaires who are passionate Albion fans and who seem to be solely responsible for getting Falmer built despite economic conditions where such vast sums of money just aren't being lent...

 

[Icy Gull]

Ray Bloom standing by like Nero as Archer and Stanley tried to dismantle the club is the reason I don't trust them. I don't remember hearing a peep from him whilst all this was going on and yet he was still on the board.

Now tell me that I got it all wrong and I'll be happy to reconsider my cynicsm towards the Blooms but how any director who had the club's interest at half would not have screamed blue murder whilst Archer and Stanley did their evil deeds is pretty unimpressive imo.

i would hope they can work together and get the club of its arse and in a fit state to play at falmer and provide a decent standard of football that brings back the fans the club has lost in the last 12 years,the last thing anybody wants is a half full new stadium with the team going through the motions in the lower leagues,i presume the intent is to make the top flight someday.the two have shown their loyalty to brighton and hove albion in their own way and would be a loss if we lost either through a power struggle.

I'm Making a Breakaway 3rd Side, anyone who wants to join is welcome

I don't think this is a fair poll really. What do any of us know about the Blooms?

What is very clear is that there would be no Falmer without the Blooms who are it would appear are now providing a very large part of the finance, probably more as a result of the banking situation.

They also have financial clout that Knight has never had. I also think that without the Blooms money we would not have been able to stay in this division this season. How often during the Knight era have we been able to afford the number of loan players we brought in this season. Rightly or wrongly the last batch once Adams had gone kept us up but it was only the board's intent on getting these players that staved off relegation.

I think the choice is one between staying where we are but with a fairly stable (last 18 months excepted) chairman who generally knows what he is doing, to going forward as a club with someone with the financial clout to one day get us into the Premiership. No brainer for me, it's the Blooms.

That said, best case scenario is a combo of both, with Knight moving into a president role and still acting as a very capable consultant to the other directors/shareholders.

 

[vulture]

Knight saved the club....Blooms money is keeping it alive...

 

[Da Man Clay]

Hmm, I back the Blooms to get their way. Doesn't fill me with confidence though that they appeared to want Wise over Slade. There was also some talk that Slade wouldn't get the sort of money to spend that Wise would.

I feel the same way. If they have all this cash why didnt they just give Archer/Stanley his £x million and tell him to eff off...

Well said.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I don't know enough about the Blooms to judge.

However I find it somewhat unsettling to have a professional gambler running the club.

So DK for me.

Quite.

With a professional gambler, you'll never know what kind of side bets have been struck until the shit hits the fan, as it were.

That answers the question perfectly.

I am constantly amazed at how definite some can be in their views on a subject when they know none of the facts.

If I were on the board I couldn't resist telling some on here what I think of them, but that would be very unprofessional and I'd probably get voted off the board very quickly!
