Bloom looking to sell (rumour)

[Marshy]

Total rubbish for me

 

[Barnham Seagull]

One thing is for sure he is strangely anonymously quiet and conspicuous by his absence.

Which makes you wonder what is going on......

 

[Guinness Boy]

Didn't Dick Knight say you can make a small fortune by investing a large fortune in a football club?

It was John Madjeski but it's a good and accurate quote.

Who? Is TB in the country or in Oz.

 

[Barnham Seagull]

Who? Is TB in the country or in Oz.

Bloom.

 

[smudge]

How long is this is this queue?

 

[RexCathedra]

For too many people, the decade-long battle to oust Belotti and Archer, and get a new home for the team, was their Spitfire summer.
Protests, marches, the Forty Notes thing. Backs to the wall. David v. various Goliaths. Fans United.

It was wonderful -- but only whenever it wasn't awful.

Some people can't stand prosperity. And roping in a Thai politician, or a petro-spiv from the former Soviet republic of Crudeoilostan, or an American sports-management consortium -- assuming arguendo that they're out there just chomping at the bit to get their hands on the team -- will surely be just the thing to bring back the golden days.

 

[Mutts Nuts]

okay so things aren't looking that brilliant at the club at the moment and this definitely isn't going to help.

I know a man who used to work high up at the club and still remains in football. he is from a jewish family and they are very close with the blooms. according to him bloom simply cant afford to keep the club running and is "apparently" looking to offload.

I seriously hope this is bullshit but thought it should be reported.

*queue binfest*

The rumour is almost definitely faulse, but what is true is Tony can definitely not afford to run the big boys toy he has bought,the current squad proves that

 

[desprateseagull]

Would Dick Knight ride in, once more? Or more likely, Amex buy out the club and lease to a franchise type management co.

 

[tomfitz12]

I did put *rumour* for a reason

for all I know it could be bollocks

 

[Giraffe]

IF you were looking to groom the club for sale Barber is exactly the type of appointment you would make.

But I am not saying that is the case.

 

[jasetheace]

I thing he is preparing to pack [er] up and leave town

 

[smudge]

Something needs to change in the short term, but in the long term, TB has to stay. I wish nothing but the best for him, for what he has done with the club I love, & I believe he loves.
It's the Albion, ups & downs; but with the Amex, we need at the very least to be a competitive Championship team.
Today, we were hanging on against Rotherham, which isn't really good enough for the club we aspire to be.

 

[Se20]

With Palace being linked with talks with an American billionaire,maybe TB sees an opportunity to nip in and seal a deal.
After all, who in there right mind would miss a chance to own the Albion ?

 

[glasfryn]

I have been thinking this for a long while
it really is the next logical step, unfortunate as it is, personally I'd rather he stayed as they are fairly safe hands.

What total crap you posted.

He can run with the big boys he's minted, comfortably a billionaire, he, like all the other chairman are supposedly complying with FFP. We will, but how many will not?

Unless you have had your head in the sand the owner can't just plough money in. Others are gambling we'll have to wait and see the outcome.

His decision to employ Hyypia on the other hand is free vend.

 

[Scoffers]

How many people who have spunked £200m can then continue to lose £1m per month with no end insight?

I have no idea how true this is, but it wouldn't at all surprise me if he made way at some point since losing that sort of money every month is the playground of the mega rich and nobody really has any idea how much he is worth.

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

Bloom will sell the club to the packer family,there you go.

 

[Mr Bridger]

I heard that he can't afford to pay for the interest on the credit cards he maxed out to pay for the Amex

 

[glasfryn]

Bloom will sell the club to the packer family,there you go.

and you know this because?
