'I'm no Abramovich' says new Brighton chairman

[Notters]

I'm worried about the Times spelling "realised" with a "z" though!

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

I Hope we all realise how lucky we are ....Its only really sinking in for me know that we have something that we have never had before, Financial stability.

Bloom, I Salute you, what a legend

Not wishing to sound an old twat but when we had Bamber as chairman and Wickenden as vice-chairman together they were considered to wealthiest men in English football, believe it or not, and what did they do to a team in the same league as we are now. Things are looking good.

 

[pishhead]

That is a cracking interview and should put to rest some of the fears some people seem to be having.
In tony we trust.

 

[BensGrandad]

Some people will take a lot of convincing eg down at the allotments an old boy, hark at me I am 65, said ' that chap whose bought your club seems a bit of a dodgy character'.
My answer was that nobody seems to know much about him or how he came to be so rich so we shall just have to wait and see but I am excited for the future, more so than I have been for many years.

 

[Vankleek Hill Seagull]

Certainly is.

Not written by Nik Szczepanik, was it? Seems awfully well clued up.

Yes, the article is written by him.

 

[goldstone]

Great interview. I like what the guy says and the way he says it. Makes the future sound pretty damn positive.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Yet again - as with Mr Slade - he comes across as considered and articulate. He's cautiously optimistic which is good. I'm very impressed but will be interesting the first time we see this man's steel. You don't get rich without having a very hard streak. Did we see the first sign in the one comment "we have to be run it a little more professionally"? First hint of a criticism of DK and the way he was running things.

 

[OzMike]

I like the way that the publicity machine has started moving.
A little bit of profile raising doesn't hurt when wanting to attract a better class of player to the squad, they will all know who we are now and that we mean business.
I must stop pinching myself I'm getting a rash!

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Is coming across really well, clubs we are dealing with re transfers must be licking their lips. Good on him has done what the majority of us would have done if we had the chance like the bit about the Times Rich List especially as the article appears in the times. Guess we will find out how rich (or the Times guess at it) in about 9 months in the next lists then

FYI: The Rich List is published by the Sunday Times - a different newspaper from The Times, even though they are part of the same company (and across the road from each other).

 

[Bald Gull]

That is a brilliant article. He is coming across so well in all the interviews so far. I have to admit to being nervous when it was all first announced (despite being hugely relieved at the money coming into the club) but he does seem to be Brighton through and through and, although I'm still sad to see Dick go, these are going to be an exciting few years...

 

[throbinson]

To me we are in very good hands, he loves this club like we all do, so its only up from here

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Very interesting article, comes across well and says all the right things. Whilst I still think people are entitled to ask any question they want, this has put to bed some of my personal concerns. Happy, happy, happy !!

 

[crasher]

"His wife is Australian and he has a 17-year-old son Down Under"


Strange name for a boy isn't it?

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Certainly is.

Every Albion fan knows that Falmer isn't going to be a 25k capacity stadium.....except Nik apparently

Oh yeah, Compare Bloom to bamber?
The difference being Bloom wants to create a legacy for his family and the most important being that he is a brighton fan and in it for the long run, Please dont compare bamber the money grabbing prick to bloom

You're quite an angry person. You should try and relax more. It's sunny today..go to the beach and lie still for a while taking deep breaths.

[fire&skill]

Great stuff.

Thank you, Tony. Very excited about the future now.

Thats certainly how I read it, I can certainly see a Karen Brady type at the club in the near future.

 

[Father Jack]

a great read, he makes the right noises, a well spoken manager and chairman, brilliant news and hopefully good times ahead.
