[Albion] Chris Hughton leaves with immediate effect
- Thread starter Bozza
- Start date
He's made his money out of being smarter than others. if you want to be part of his consortium the buy in is usually seven figures so TB isn't targetting the poor and stupid like the saps who spunk their money away each week at Bet365.

Not seen such Bravery!

That's some agenda bursting through there. I wonder what club you support.

Either Stains or Muff. If it's Muff, he should be careful throwing accusations around about where the money comes from to fund the club.
Is of course the correct answer.
I've spent a lot of money on Muff over the years.............edit.....I now think you're talking about Plucky Little Bournemouth instead?
Mmm, spending money on Muff is not usually an admission for a pubic message board... public message board.
Still, yes I was referring to our plucky little South Coast "neighbours". Although I'm still unconvinced that 90 miles is particularly in the neighbourhood.
The point, which you seem to have missed, is that Everton never have been a "bottom half team". They are a very well established first division/PL team, and although in over 100 years of playing at that level they have sometimes finished in the bottom half (who hasn't?) they have very rarely even flirted with relegation. To try and make a point about 'bottom half teams' and using Everton as an example is never going to end well!

Nope, an hour googling and you're still just scratching the surface.
Going to have to do better.
I don't think this conversation matters on this thread - It isn't helpful
You obviously feel a similar aggrievement to myself on the subject of the sacking but a sort of ''mud slinging exercise'' isn't helpful to either party. The relationship is terminated - Both Parties move on. Time will tell who needed who the most
It is sad that Chris has to start again but he has proven time and time again that he is a talented man and he will do it again. Many Brighton fans feel the same as we both do on the subject so we are not alone. I really like Tony when I have met him and Chris is a superb bloke and a true Gentleman. There is no mileage to be gained in your argument. I am the first person to throw my hat into a ring to fight to defend Chris but this isn't the sort of fight I would concern myself with.
I would leave it mate. When all is said and done, you can't do what some Brighton fans have done and use the last 23 games as a stick to beat Chris with. You have to take his tenure at the club as a whole and judge him on that. The history books will say ''he was a success'' - And wherever he goes next he will be a success there as well.

That is what he is doing now - he made his money from online poker sites that he sold for over £200million - then he put that money into vulture funds that manipulate the property and financial markets.
And if you think that his current gambling activities are not impacting on the Asian gambling market (where addiction is a massive problem among the mass of the Asian poor) then you are being more than a bit deluded.
By the way - billionaires are not smarter than ordinary working class people - they are just far more willing to exploit their fellow human beings for profit.

I agree - my comments about Bloom came from the fact that some are arguing that Bloom was acting in the best interest of the fans and the club - he isn't - he is playing the odds as he always does and acted in a way he considered to be in the best interests of his investment. If he needed the money in the morning he wouldn't think twice about driving the club into the ground if he felt it was in his interest to do so.

Go on - enlighten me - or are you someone who also believes that Bloom's financial activities have zero impact on the poor of Asia?

This has got to be the biggest load of BS that’s been written since 9.30am on Monday.
I've read some bordering-on nasty drivel over the last couple of days - but congratulations, you take the award for the most ill-judged, ill-informed, self-opinionated crap in that time. And you've been up against some stiff competition.
I shouldn't indulge you, but all Bloom has EVER done, is do what he thought best for the club. And given it's his own money (not debt against the club), he is unlikely to ever make decisions that will "run it into the ground".
You clearly know very little about Brighton as a club, or about Bloom (not many do), so take your narcissistic twaddle as far away from here as possible, you are embarrassing yourself.
