[Albion] Tony Bloom interview

Champions league money is huge I believe compared to Europa League. Think Simon Jordan was talking about minimum of 40 million from the 8 games you get

 

[Greg Bobkin]

We could also look at the bigger picture and what a CL season brings: A raised profile internationally, priceless experience for our players, increased chance of signing our target players, increased chance of retaining our best players (including signing of new contracts) and this is before considering what we could do with the increase in revenue.

Now I've talked myself into wanting it, we are bound to bomb the rest of the season. I can only apologise to everyone.

Oh, I totally agree that there are HUGE benefits and loads of potential for further growth and success (I fear I'm getting carried away myself!), but I'm just asking the question of what the potential fallout on here would be if the league form dropped off a cliff. But yeah – it could be mega...

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I had pretty much zero interest in the CL this season until this week, when Bobkin Jnr was watching the Liverpool game and then I caught a bit of the Madrid game last night. I then looked at the table with about 40 teams and saw that three (I think) teams down the bottom had a record of played eight, lost eight. Is that worth it for the opportunity to be part of it, or does it do more harm than good to the domestic situation?

I'm not saying that Brighton would fare THAT badly but, like you say, winning it or even getting close would be a bit of a stretch.

Yes, but...

Sparta Tirana
Westbank United, and
Young Boys of Taramasalata . . . .

"Reasonably kind FA Cup draw"

*shifts uncomfortably in chair now*

 

[WATFORD zero]

I'll be quite happy to settle for a nice European run in the EUFA or EUFA conference next season

Mind you, when I walked into a 22,000 seater Amex for the first time I (and I suspect many others) was happy to settle for a Championship/Premier yoyoing team. It seems it was only that Bloom bloke that wasn't

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

"Reasonably kind FA Cup draw"

*shifts uncomfortably in chair now*

Yes I though that too - home advantage maybe
