Leeds Utd, Nott'm Forest, Cardiff City, et al... do you think we'll always be safe from an Asian takeover? My spine shivers to think we get bought out by some Malaysian syndicate.
not unless bloom becomes skint
You think he wouldn't go for the right price?

no, not unless he was sure the club would be protected. Most buyouts to foeriegn consortiums are because clubs are either skint or unsustainable
Like Man City? I think if the money was there ANY business man would look at the proposition, and our leagues are seemingly more owned by Asians, Americans and Russians... would a business man turn down a nailed on profit?
ExactlyTony Bloom will only EVER do what is best for this football club.
Trust in that if nothing else.

How do you know that? You aren't basing anything on fact, if we became a prospect for profit to some Asian conglomerate, why would a business man not look at it? Not basing my scenario on fact either... just so many 'attractive' clubs are being bought out nowadays.
I'm basing it on the fact that Tony Bloom is a Brighton & Hove Albion fan who has the best interests of this football club as dear to his heart as do any of us. I'm not sure whether you remember a quote he gave just after taking over as chairman, but it went something like this:
"Every true football fan has their love of the game built around their support of a team. Mine is Brighton, always has been and always will be."
I trust that whatever he does if this situation should ever arise will be motivated by the best interests of this football club.

The old saying 'everything has a price' is true 99% of the time IMO. As far as The Albion are concerned, I don't think this is the case because, as others have said, TB & his family f***ing love our club. If an investor came along, he wouldn't turn them away, as long has he had ultimate control. Just my opinion like!
That's trust, not fact.

Wasn't his uncle a director in the Archer/Stanley days?
