I've known about Bloom taking over/Knight leaving since May 5 - nearly two weeks ago.

The old inner circle is dead. Long live the new inner circle!

I know how much most of the players are on a week, and the fee Albion are demanding for Lynch.

I also know all Slades transfer targets and which two players are soon to be transfer listed...

So, am I the most in the know?

I have no contacts, but a brain that told me Knight could not stay on and the only way that the builders would have started work on Falmer was if someone was paying for it. It wasn't going to be the banks so clearly Bloom or someone else was in for a lot of cash. It was either that or no Falmer.

Oh and I know one of the bank people that the Albion approached for Finance over 18 months ago who told me that they were saying they had a major investor who would stump up a large part of the stadium finance.

That could be a reference to Bloom's money. Then again, it could be a reference to the money which fell through...

Care to share your knowledge then?

It definately was the former and I've discussed this with Giraffe.

I overhead something "slip" about funding, well over a year ago and it pointed quite clearly to investment from an individual.

"The story is complete rubbish, Dick Knight will be chairman until Falmer and then he'll retire from the club to enjoy his hard work". :lolol:

I was told months ago but like so many others on this thread who are in the know decided not to announce it on here until it had been in The Argus and on The Club Website.

In fact Tony Bloom told me himself just after he asked me if I was holding Mr Bun The Baker in my hand :lol:

I knew about it a couple of weeks ago but had to keep schtum for obvious reasons. Glad it's in the open now.

I have never posted a 'rumour' on NSC but I do find out quite a lot from one reliable source. I was told about the Bloom takeover having been pretty much sewn up in the 1st week of May.
