Tony Bloom in The Sun

[perseus]

Ante bid.

All the cards are still hidden. What is in the river ?


PS: I never thought the £55 million costs stacked up, now that it is £93 million ?

I have to say, I got a bit of an eric reading that

 

[Tooting Gull]

Good article, and not just because it's 'about Brighton'. Decent angle, and done his homework for someone who normally covers only Premier League (and normally exclusively top four of the PL).

Interesting point Pavilionaire makes. There was a lot of scorn heaped on those who dared to suggest Sussex was far too big (and too relatively wealthy) a place not to house some possible benefactor for the club with real money. I'm sure we're all glad the sceptics were wrong. Maybe even some of them are too.

Have to say that for the Sun that's quite a good read!

Bollocks it is! The whole lot is lifted from various interviews Bloom has given including his podcast with Insider. There is Nothing new in the article at all. If journalism means you can sit on your arse in your office and surf the Net all day and get paid a lot for so doing, then maybe I'm in the wrong job.

The only positive thing about it is that we actually have a half page in a national paper.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Ian McGarry and Rob Beasley are both high profile football journalists, so the fact they've written serious articles about the Albion at a time when there is a GLUT of top flight stuff to write about is an indication that the Albion have not been forgotten, and maybe that Bloom's money could make us a serious player later on.

After all, League 1 club find new chairman to finance stadium at this time of year would normally be a story for an underling journalist, not the top football writer of both papers?

Tony Bloom is saying what everybody wants to hear. Playing to the crowd. How much dosh has he really got?

It's not how big it is, it's what you do with it!

Well, the Albion are not going to win the Champions League with a piddly little ground like Falmer. Funny it is on the same page.

Ajax did, three times in a row.

Their new(ish) stadium holds about 50k doesn't it? What was the capacity of their ground when they won the Chumpions League then?

[Scoffers]

Do you mean Pende? Penge is far too close to Selhurst.

Indeed, I was trying to be funny. Oh well

 

[Skint Gull]

I'm surprised many of you are pleased with this article. When I saw it yeaterday i thought 'Cheeky fucks have just lifted that from his other interviews', it wasn't a decent peice of journalism, just a lazy page filler more than a week late cos they needed to fill space due to the Chumps league final build up being a midlle of the paper pull out! If they'd done this last Weds i might have had some respect but the fact is they've probably been holding this story till such time that they have run out of stories about Joey Barton, Manure or Chelski

Ian McGarry is known as "Voices" on the Sun sports desk because of the people in his head that tell him to write things. This piece doesn't seem to have as much pure invention as some of his stories, such as the one claiming that John Terry told Chelsea's lawyer that Graham Poll used the F word to him. The brief in question has denied not only the details, but that any of the conversation took place.

Maybe, he is bluffing and hasn't got the clout/werewithal and just got good press connections ? An Alligator just snaps its claws is armour-plated. It seems more like a political appointment to me

I get the distinct impression you WANT Falmer to fail, and would be delighted if Tony Bloom turned out to be a complete charlatan. Whats your agenda ?

That is what Poker is all about, kidding your opponent that your hand is better than it really is. You can even see the glint in the corner of his eye.

I learned this from Cassandra.

Good to see perseus returning to the board to remind us all what a prick he is.
