How good does it feel to know that unless we are offered silly money we are no longer a selling club!

Skint years RIP
speaks volumes about the progress of the club's ambitions under Bloom.
not to be disrespectful to Knight (for whom i will always have immense gratitude) but this is the type of chairmanship that can really progress the club.

Bloom: We Don't Welcome Interest
Posted on: Sun 16 Jan 2011

Tony Bloom has told Gus Poyet he does not have to sell any player, after the Albion boss last night revealed Norwich City have expressed an interest in winger Elliott Bennett.
Albion chairman Bloom confirmed that it is the only official enquiry so far this January and that the approach was not welcomed.
Bloom told seagulls.co.uk, "There has been interest from Norwich, but we do not want Elliott to go anywhere, and we have made that clear to them.
"Elliott is a key part of the squad, which is why we recently gave him a new three-and-a-half-year contract. He has been superb for the club since he came here, and we are not surprised he is attracting interest from a club in a higher division."
Bloom also says he would not be surprised if bids come in for other players - but warned clubs he has no plans to sell any of Albion's key men.
"We have to be pragmatic. If you are top of the table, then other clubs in higher divisions are going to be attracted to your players.
"That is part of football and is to be expected. But we don't welcome it, and do not intend to, nor need to, sell any of our best players.
"We are trying to build something big here at the club. Our aim this season is to win promotion to the Championship. We are currently in a great position to do that and we want to do everything we can to maintain that momentum.
"Our supporters know I am not a fan of doing business in the January window. Saying that, we are looking to strengthen our squad even more this month if we are able to recruit a player who brings different qualities to what we already have in the team."
If this was an episode of 'Fighting Talk' I'd be hitting the 'Hallelujah' button

Good statement but if the right money came in and you could perhaps re-invest that in 3 potential new Bennetts or say Austin what would you do ?
More interesting is that Slade signed him, however Poyet seems to get the best out of him.

Fair comment our feathered friend, and if EB does fancy the move and holds out for it then Tony's bluster counts for very little... but let's hope not eh?
