Bloom in the ABSOLUTELY THEORETICAL EVENT OF US REACHING THE Premier League

[Kalimantan Gull]

How do you think he'll approach it?

We've lost 25m this year, and he can presumably recoup all of that with the Sky millions, plus from previous years and stadium building. (are these loans from the club or donations? Can he take it back if he wants?) Beyond that though, how will he approach it? Sensible financial management whilst trying to consolidate seems most likely, but could he invest even more money in the club, in the knowledge that FFP limits are far greater in the prem. How well-to-do is he?

Has he bought another club?

Seriously, we're not even half way though the ****ing season! 10 games ago we were 4 points behind Norwich, now we're 15 ahead. Things can change pretty quickly.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Nowhere near the PL yet.

 

[Dr. No]

Has he bought another club?

No.

Kahuna hasn't happened and may not (hopefully will).

 

[Sussex Nomad]

The money for the stadium and training ground are loans that he is prepared to right off as share issues.

 

[BBassic]

I have no answer; just wanted to say that for some reason I read 'theoretical' and 'theatrical' and my mind instantly filled with stage directions as if our promotion push were a West End show.

Carry on.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Just want TB to get there, to start recouping some of his outrageously generous outlay. Very much doubt there's a single chairman/fan out there who deserves it more.

Oi. Don't change my thread title just because of your stupid superstitions.

We're going up. get used to it.

 

[clippedgull]

He will have to make major investment in the playing staff if he has ambitions of trying not to be a yo-yo club. Of course we have to get there first!

 

[Triggaaar]

On a couple of your other points though:

(are these loans from the club or donations? Can he take it back if he wants?

They're loans, but it makes no difference. He owns the club, so if they were donations they would be donations to himself. If his club made £500m he could take the money out if he wanted, it's his club.

 

[Triggaaar]

Oi. Don't change my thread title

Don't tell me what to do

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

All these people scared to be confident that we're going up . .. remember this time next year we're going to be getting dicked over by Liverpool and hammered at Spurs, and you'll wish you'd basked in the glory of this season a little longer

Man City
Chelsea
Arsenal
Spurs
Man U
Liverpool
Everton

The only sides in the 20 team Premier League that should cause us concern, IF we get there.

Remember this time last season when we were getting dicked on by Ipswich and Middlesbrough. One step at a time...

Of course I do, and we're better now. I haven't watched football for 25 years to not be able to recognise a promotion team when I see one

 

[Hotchilidog]

He'll blow the prem money on players to stay in it. He'll be over the moon and glad that somebody else is finally chipping in. If he ever wants some of his money back he can do that later if we are able to establish ourselves.

Tony has not built this club up to be one season wonder, and anyone who has seen or met him on the train platform at away games will realise he is not in this for the money, but he's in it as a fan.

You forgot the other £800k! Might get a pot of gold but plenty of grubby hands will empty it as soon as it arrives!

Yea, a minority seem to think this is the one and only goal for TB, just to get there. We will get there sometime, fingers crossed it's this season.

They have probably had plans in place since moving into the Amex about how to approach the PL, and thankfully those kinds of decisions are way above my paygrade.

I will just enjoy the ride, expect to lose against most sides and take nothing for granted. If we can pull off survival and sustainability then we need to get a bloody statue up of this man fast.

 

[Taybha]

Probably the sort of bloke that will simply reinvest in the club with minimal fanfare or want of publicity , i kinda want us to make it this season to actually give him something back for all he has given us rather than i just want us to play top flight footy again , this is our season .
