OFFICIAL - Tony Bloom Chairman, Dick Knight Life President.

[sir danny cullip]

Fantastic news, will Falmer now be the Tony Bloom Stadium or such like? Good job Dick. I wonder how hands on Knight's role will be now? Could be useful to have him negotiating transfers as I recall numerous chairman and managers saying how he drives prices for their players down during negotiations, that approach could be needed with Blooms cash coming in as clubs and players will be demanding more.

 

[Dandyman]

[Napper]

how much on players ?

 

[Publius Ovidius]

so we are to be funded by one person!

Hands up all those people who didnt want an Arab or an Abramovitch........we have our own now!

 

[Giraffe]

for all those that quoted dick night is to stand down...how right you were...

Not to mention those of us that made it quite clear obtaining bank funding was not going to happen and therefore the only way the stadium was going to happen was through someone like Bloom......

 

[Silent Bob]

So one man is control of the football club?

Best hope he's the right one.

 

[NF9]

how much on players ?

500M

Kaka, Ronaldo & Messi will all be unveiled within the next 24 hours.

 

[Wozza]

Bloom currently holds a 75% shareholding in the club, having converted £18 million of loan stock into shares

That can't be £18m already in, can it?

[ward is god]

I have been away for a few days and asked my husband if there was any albion news - no he said - so I thought I would check up anyway and now this! I thought Dick would be Chair until Falmer but I thought something was in the offing with all the comments at the end of the season by people 'in the know'. I thought no one person was supposed to be in control of the club after the Archer saga so what has changed?

 

[Trigger]

New Bloom sweeps clean!....

Excellent news, all the best Tony!

I hope and prey he wants to keep his Grandfathers name in the high esteem it should be Harry Bloom loved BHA lets hope his grandson dpes as well
