Tony Bloom due at a Q&A in Horsham tonight (17 Sept)

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Did anyone ask about an update on the Hotel !

Yes, confident it will get permission.

No casino.

Will go to tender when permission granted. (Not sure if that meant tender to build it, or tender to run it once complete)

Just back from the game. Tony in a very relaxed mood. Didn't duck any questions. Highlights as I remember them:

We were interested in Vydra but loan fee an issue and his wages were 4x more than we pay.
Hotel planning permission progressing - not 100% definite but expected to get go ahead - will not have a casino.
Bobby Z deal contained a number of things that needed to come together - they did and he signed.
Garcia and Hypia were not the best communicators and that is key for a football manager these days. Garcia was an excellent coach. In hindsight they may not have been appointed.
Bmuff deserved to go up last year but everything went their way (injuries, good manager etc). Have made some good signings and some not so good ones.
500 capacity stand at Training Academy to watch u21 games.
Tony has three reason by which a manager might be sacked - turns out they don't have the skills he thought they had, genuinely lost the dressing room, and lack of wins (results).
Proud of clubs response to Shoreham disaster.

500 capacity stand sounds excellent

500 capacity stand sounds excellent

My thoughts exactly. Gives the U21s more of an incentive to progress and play at the AMEX. Great move TB
