Oh don't be so stupid. Clearly there are hundreds of people on here with a proven track record in successful player, agent, club negotiations.
And don't forget most of those same people are far more successful businessmen than Bloom. He clearly has no ambition.
He's spent in excess of £130million and is also absorbing losses.
But ambitionNO.He does not care one jot whether we go up, stay where we are or go down.
The real worry that some of the geniuses on here are pointing out is that if we drift around in the championship then our crowds will dwindle. And if we go down - the we will be playing in front of 14,000 every week.
My concern is that this has not clicked in Barber's brain - or anyone else's at the club. They won't have seen that coming and will be pricing everyone out of the market.That's because Bloom brought Barber in to alienate all of the fans, drive them away from the club and ensure that his massive investment is an utter white elephant in 3 years time.
The other real concern is that Barber and Bloom have done a deal with a hotel consortium to be able to build on the land round the ground, turn it into conference facilities and create more revenue streams. What they are also going to do, my source tells me, is make the football club a sideshow and eventually turn the Amex into a massive conference centre and church for Jehovahs Witnesses.
Honestly. I give up reading some of the paranoid, unfounded garbage on here, posted by simpletons, crettins and conspiracy theorists.
If Bloom and his trusted advisors don't want to pay the salaries and fees and agents costs to bring in some players then fine.
I sadly did a deal with the club in 1980 that I would support them through everything. I don't have the luxury of throwing a huge hissy fit and childish tantrum because we are not spunking money we don't have on players and agents that will be gone in 3 years.
What really drives me round the twist is the utter hypocrisy on this board - something that seems to be particular and prevalent within football fans the world over.
On one thread the 'Will POmpey fold' makes interesting reading. Brighton fans smugly telling the world that they deserve everything they get.The true pitfalls of poor owners, a manager and club hierarchy happy to spend their way ti buy an FA Cup.
Scroll up a couple of pages and the hysteria around the clubs unwillingness to spend money, to sell all their best players and just use some kids for the rest of the season - its staggering. Its brainless, it makes no sense and it is a little pathetic.
If we sell three players, get no-one in and carry on - so what?
I shall carry on happy that we have an honest, sensible, charismatic and hugely successful owner rather than a bunch of Americans, Arabs or God Forbid a DIY owner, a dodgy local businessman and a toady MP as the front man.
Happy with where the club are, the plans for sustainable growth and the people who are responsible for the direction we are going.
This board has started to take on maniacal proportions of hysteria and unfounded gash when it comes to the apparent 'real objectives' the club has.
I think that I want to settle down and raise my children in the warm glow of this post. Very well put.

Out of interest, what do you think this board should be all about?

Interestingly, I understand that early on TB did let the football fan in him become too involved. But he realised this and made one of his most important senior appointments.

If you think it's depressing now you should have been on here at 0730 this morning, it's been an upward trajectory every since.

"Albion have agreed a fee for Charlton star Dale Stephens.
Addicks boss Chris Powell has confirmed his club have accepted a bid for the in-demand midfielder."

Transfer deadline are always utterly tedious. Weeks of guesswork and ill informed speculation for one frantic dash on the 31st. I'll fire up the laptop on the morning of the 1st February and see how the dust has settled. Before that I just refuse to worry. I might do so after.

Well said. The only exception would be you say " I sadly done a deal in 1980 ". It is never a sad day when you find the team you support through thick and thin and it stays with you forever.
