Just one of the options that at that time was possibly available to him. Think his next appointment will be with his brief to discuss unfair dismissal, but you'll probably think otherwise.....BensGrandad

He didnt have that much money to give and was subsidised by many wealthy benefactors, so that statement isnt exactly 100% true.. Yes he gave a lot in terms of time and dedication

Take a look at the accounts.

I was referring to the last bit. I have no idea what is and isn't true. But it's quite a strong allegation to make.

You're right, he didn't have that much money to give but he gave what he could, ably supported by others, and without that where would the club be?

I'd personally like to see it renamed Barbers Bar.

Nobody can answer that question as nobody knows whether TB could or would have stepped in completely had the need arose.
Directors and shareholders usually make decent incomes from high profile projects - it's hardly a dodgy allegation.

OK, I totally misunderstood what 'trousered away' meant as I've heard that in the context of something ilegal.

Would be surprised if DC made more money from the projects his firm worked on, than he paid into the Albion during the Withdean years.

I knew about Steve Ford & Alan Sanders leaving, and they have been replaced by an ex Amex employee.
The club got planning permission for being a Community stadium and AITC is a charity and nothing to do with FFP.

We do know. From Mr Bloom himself. He said that he didn't have the cash to do this even when planning application was first granted. He said that when money was available, he used it and that is why he started investing in the late 2000s.

I hope AITC can get their act together on the admin side while they are still relatively small.
- Taking six weeks to open a letter (they eventually opened it while I was on the phone) and 8 weeks to cash a cheque
- Booked my son into a residential course in August back in May, and they can't even tell me what time drop-off or pick-up will be .. they said they didn't know yet, and wouldn't know until a week before the course started. Serious?

I mentioned a few weeks ago that changes were afoot that would fundamentally alter some aspects of the club forever. This was the one I had in mind.
The club currently, are just one aspect of funding for aitc. Much comes from companies who see this as a means to meet their corporate, social responsibility goals, and other large amounts come from third sector groups.
For those bemoaning the organisation, recently a premier league club in London advertised a senior role in their community scheme. Of the 42 applicants, the final 6 contained 4 from aitc. That says two things.
1) the team can't be that bad if 4 people from one organisation are shortlisted for a major bigger role
2) why are so many good people wanting to leave now
The latter, I believe, is down to some rather horrific involvement of people from the main club.

The word I heard (from an employee of the Club, not AITC) was "horrendous".

I've been slated previously for saying it but there are unsavory things happening at the Albion !

I don't think him being a single minded control freak has ever been in doubt. Its not a case of lickers or groovy gang. The club received planning permission on the vision of a community club. We have an award winning charitable community scheme that presents the club in a very positive light and helps grow the fanbase and elicits loyalty to the club.
The club seems to want to run things differently - that's partly up to them unless they take it out of charitable status in which case its fully up to them. Its a question as to whether a money making version will engender the same positive results
