To be fair it’s all of those things. Doesn’t mean it’s wrong
They said Tony was the owner of Starlizard, what is Starlizard? From what I gather it is a betting consultancy which offer consumers an edge in football betting, but I thought that there were very strict rules on people being involved in sports betting and in being part of a football club, I’m very uneducated on this subject so may be completely wrong.
Agreed. Up until your last sentence.What is there to disagree with? They make the reasonable point that Brighton is set up as a defensive unit currently with Dunk & Duffy as outstanding CBs. Changing that to a high press, free flowing team looks a bit of a stretch and requires some good recruitment, with possibility of at least one of D&D moving on. Frankly, cannot see what is bollox about that. Perfect sense IMO but a change that is required as the CH way has been found wanting. Of course it is a risk but less than keeping CH would have been.
Cheers, that is an interesting read and I was thinking along the same lines, It is rather odd that no one can put their finger on exactly how he’s made all his money, and that Starlizard employees are made to sign non disclosure agreements, and also the fact he doesn’t really take interviews, but who am I to question him. He’s probably just a closed off man.Article on Starlizard from a couple of years ago:https://www.businessinsider.com/inside-story-star-lizard-tony-bloom-2016-2?r=UK
No idea how accurate/hyperbolic it is but it's interesting.
Never actually got a handle on where Bloom's money comes from, largely because I don't care given the effect it's had on the club, but all the stuff with Man City recently has got me thinking slightly (Not suggesting there is anything at all untoward in Tony but just on the ethical responsibility of knowing who you're supporting I guess)

I’m so utterly bored of people underestimating Uncle Tony, plus he’s got Mr England DNA sitting on his lap these days. We’ll be alright.
They just don’t get it! I’d rather we swashbuckle our way to relegation then endure 3.4,5 seasons of attritional dire football! Knowing the result would ultimately be the same. There is life outside the Premier League FFS. The King is dead. Long live the King!
