Is he underwriting the £8 million loss this year and next as well as paying for the Stadium and training ground.

That is amazing. Deserves a statue!

Unlike other chairman I don't think Tony Bloom spends much time on football forums, might be better to write to him :)

I would imagine he is.

We've got to see this as Tony Bloom sees it. Is it a loss or part of the strategy? Let's face it, he has a plan to get us into the premiership in the next 5 years. That is the aim.

One assumes he is going to execute that plan ruthlessly and that we will taste the premiership between now and 2017/18.

When that happens, it will trigger a significant amount of cash (£90m according to some points of reference). Let's say we make another £8m pound loss next year, and the year after, and the year after that - we're up to £32m in losses. It's still a fraction of the £90m available.

Mr Bloom clearly has the guts to go for it. He's not called the Lizard for nothing. I for one wouldn't bet against him.

He hasn't signed, and I understand he's now interested in going to Birmingham.
Not necessarily Birmingham, but it would not surprise me that our interest was used to leverage the new Spanish passport, and now he has his hands on it we will see that he can take his pick, and the agent will ensure he goes to the highest bidder in terms of fee and wages, that wont be us.

These are my concerns too, the fee wouldn't be as much a gamble for a lower end prem team as for us and they can offer significantly more in wages.

Can he not only cover £5m of the £8m or something under the financial fail play rules? Not sure on exact number but I did not think owners could cover all the losses.

Think its £8m this year then either £8m or £5m the year after
