if guss did go would tonno and charlie be a option ?
That is crucial. We'll never be taken seriously with a 22k stadium.

.... and a nice big car park that can double as a park 'n' ride site in the summer. Kills two birds with one stone.Its a very good start, and decent enough for championship, but if/when we reach the PL it must be extended to full gain from it and to bring it more money - 30,000-35,000 would be nice..... 2nd tier on East Stand, all corner filled in etc
It would be STUPID to think that Blooms ambition is not premier league football at the very,very least.
The days of the cottage industry are long gone. Its time to play with the big boys which I know will be anathema to some but sorry thats REALITY.

What on EARTH are you talking about, you FOOL? Gus doesn't have 'advisors'. Gus advises Obama, the Dalai Lama, Andy Flower, Pep Guardiola and GOD.
It would be interesting to hear people's views as to how we are going to afford premiership football if we ever get there....remember teams like Leeds/derby/Leicester who have stadiums that are larger capacity than Falmer have struggled to get there or stay in the Premiership with large gates, money etc. Also, TB has ploughed 90 million + intothe stadium, I cant see him doing the same to get these players we will need to stay in teh premiership...yes there are always the exceptions, like Blackpool BUT we must be realistic....22,500 is not going to provive the funds to buy the likes of Fabregas and Torres......what we don't want is to end up like the SCC and Portsmouth.

Wigan, Bolton, Fulham and Blackburn are well established Premiership clubs on comparable or smaller gates than we would get.
Agreed as one of the smallest grounds in the prem would not match our ambition end of.That is crucial. We'll never be taken seriously with a 22k stadium.
I love Gus so very much!
I honestly think that Gus's best course, from his own position, would be to stay with us a bit longer. There is little point in him moving to a Championship club, because (hopefully) he will be managing one (us) next season. I don't think he'll get a top Prem job just yet anyway - he is after all still a rookie manager - albeit one who's started bloody well - and hasn't actually won anything yet. So (apart from going overseas) that only leaves lesser Prem club vacancies - and if he jumps too soon, he could fail - success wouldn't be guaranteed, and that could actually set his career back.
The last successful new young manager we had (Micky Adams) jumped too soon, and his career hasn't really taken off; OK, he's doing alright, and has another chance at Sheffield United now - but he's no further ahead that when he moved to Leicester 8 or 9 years ago.
I just hope Gus (and his advisers!) agree with me!
Well you get £40 million for just getting there! Even if you get relegated first season you are guaranteed a total of £90 million which includes the £40 million plus £50 million in parachute payments paid over 2/3 years.
