More pertinently, why are you trying to stir up an argument when both parties actually involved have resolved the issue with no problems caused?

Question remains if Poyet wanted to leave 'as soon as possible', why didn't he take the Reading job when it was offered...?
I get the feeling Gus was trying (foolishly) to call Bloom's bluff - he wanted to stay and take us up but knew the budget was restricted and we'd reached the 'ceiling'.

In which case, hang your head in shame. What kind or proofreader would miss "meticulously pouring over DVDs"?

Good content there, I agree with your views on Poyet too, glad to see there's unity between Bloom, Barber, Burke and Oscar.

Good report, thanks to all involved.
What a great Chairman Tony Bloom is. He seems pretty open and honest. There is still so much to admire about how he goes about his business in a quiet, discrete but highly effective manner. He impresses me as a man of great integrity with The Albion in his heart. Reading between the lines I suspect he must have felt thoroughly betrayed when Poyet asked to leave just as we were on the brink of glory. I suspect that Tony is a chastened and more cautious man as a result, I can't blame him for that.
I like that he pops up from time to time in a variety of constructive situations whether its travelling to away games on public transport and happy to casually engage with fans or via meetings with local groups. We are lucky to have him especially when you think of some of the less gifted Chairmen that are around.

Sunderland job was available but need instant action. Di Canio got appointed a week later. Reading were as good as sunk but Sunderland were able to be saved

I was about to pen my thoughts on that excellent article (thanks very much for putting it up OP) but you've pretty much covered my thoughts. Lucky we are indeed, TB will surely go down in The Albion's history as one of the all time greats, no mistake.

From the way TB spoke about it Tuesday night there was no hint of calling TBs bluff he made it pretty clear Gus wanted out at the soonest opportunity, what he had lined up we don't know but my guess is like most he knew Reading were Championship bound and he truly thought he was only good enough for the Premiership. My impression from the way TB spoke was that the relationship was never as cosy as we thought on a personal level.
Good write up of the evening.

Excellent write up! It really is gratifying that the club appear to be so approachable.
I need that to be:-
Bloom, Barber, Burke and Boscar.
But then again im a little weird.

Great stuff, though I bet the Barber haters wont like some of it.

Thanks I said TB but should have added PB, but assumed that everybody would automatically put his trusted man alongside of him.
The supporters will be here long after he is gone.
