bloom sells the club

[BensGrandad]

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum is the ruler of Dubai - he is very involved in horse racing but not known to have any interest in football
Sheikh Mansour is the deputy prime minister of the UAE and a member of the ruling family of Abu Dhabi. He bankrolls Manchester City.
Methinks you got your Sheikhs mixed up . . .

And I remember at the time saying what you said was a load of sh*t. And guess what ? It hasnt changed.

Also the Man City owner couldnt buy us as ownership rules within the UK prevent owners owning 2 clubs in the same country, otherwise half the lower leagues would already be feeder clubs by now.

Yes got my sheiks mixed up as you say.

That is as rules are at the moment who is to say the rules wont be changed in the future as money or lack of it dictates. Having said that I dont see TB selling for few years yet.

It simply wouldnt happen, fan pressure wouldnt allow it - much how the league 3 proposals wont happen.

 

[BensGrandad]

Money would win I think, as I have said I believe that this is the very long term plan of TB possibly in 2025 when the stadium etc is clear.

 

[blueandwhitestripes]

Maybe TB should go down the Watford/Charlton route and create a merger of sorts with a couple of other clubs (Ajax would be nice). He could then forget a lot of these tedious transfer hassles, focus on the youth academy, and just keep loaning players and avoiding FFP. I wonder what the NSC reaction would be if this kind of arrangement happened to our club.

 

[Return of the Rev]

Brilliant piece of business that would be. 100m stadium, 30m training facility and then sell. If the club is worth 50m I would be surprised. It doesn't make sense because it's not true.

stadium must be 120 million after expansion,30 million training facility,1 million waterslide development and 30 million losses since moving in add up to 181 million

Of all the ridiculous threads started recently, this strikes me as the most ridiculous.

whoosh over your head then

[glasfryn]

this is something I muted some time ago and got well and truly slated
it will happen but after we have the academy well and truly up and running
this is of coarse only IMHO not a rumour or ITK

 

[Marshy]

I dont believe for one minute Tony would sell.

I could see it maybe once/if we make the Premier League, even the I dont believe he would be able to let go.

He is a brighton fan after all.

nail on the head

 

[Hometownglory]

I've just had a mental image of Bloom walking out of the lift on Dragons' Den.....

 

[Javeaseagull]

I don't think for one minute that Tony Bloom is ready to sell the club but if he did would it be so bad? He has built a superb stadium and even better training facilities. They are not going to go away and cannot be used for anything else, like a shopping centre or housing. We owe him a lot for being in this position.
He has always made it very clear that he is not a sugar daddy with an open cheque book and the club must pay its way. If some mega rich person wanted to invest to take us forward quicker I doubt if he would stand in their way.
Now, in the meantime, where are the new players?

On the contrary. If he could no longer afford to keep spending money on the club then I believe that as a fan he WOULD sell.

Brighton Blue Sox!

 

[wehatepalace]

I certainly think there's something happening, all that business last week of three non executive directors suddenly converting loans to shares.
I actually think the club is an attractive proposition to a wealthy owner now, the infrastructure is in place, any new owner would have nothing to do except concentrate on achieving promotion.

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

The shares was only a tidying up exercise of no importance and would be largely irrelevant in any takeover.

Well, with some of the rubbish going on in here, one does wonder what some people are prepared to believe........

 

[Dick Head]

Could be handy when we play Millwall.

I agree . . . . and boy haven't there been a few!

Yep! Reminds me of some of the scenes in "Life of Brian".
