Once Dolphin, Now Seagull
Just listened to it on seagulls player after reading a lot of the posts on here.......it was like watching a different game. Some people on here would put a negative spin on anything but personally I thought it was ok and just what you would expect from a fans forum. Those expecting a bit more inside information on things like transfer progress etc need to have a bit of a reality check.

The answer was right there in front of us -- hire Paolo DiCanio as manager. Passion? Check. Excitement? Check. Available? Check.
But did anybody act?

I think it was more the meal deals were changed so a pie and a pint was more expensive in 13/14 than 12/13 and the adjustment to the cash back.

And meanwhile inside 'Bloom Mansions' Tony Bloom flops on the sofa calling for a bottle of 'Mouton Cadet' and a pint glass. "Good meeting Tone?" says Madame Bloom. "Erm ... It should have been darling, but I mistakenly thought it was a fans forum, I must have have cocked my diary up, it turned out to be a meeting of the mentally challenged, not sure about what...something to do with the odds of getting pies from a lady bookmaker from Gillingham I think. Apparently I've also promised to sponsor a Ward somewhere, I couldn't remember that. So I told them it will be sorted soon. All in all a waste of time but glad I went, it makes me appreciate being normal"

Mediocre fans forum for a club settling for mediocrity. We had the new start the energy the fan base and now everything feels as flat as tony bloom did tonight. Hold on I would post more but there is a lynch mob outside baying for my blood as I dare questions the clubs ambitions and that of lord bloom.

Actually I do thanks
Then hopefully you understand the need for the man at the helm to be discrete in his dealings with all those with an interest in it

few points
1. Brighton are again the 11th best supported club in the country (as the club was in the late 70's) therefore there are no new fans, jus relatives of those 30,000 and people who have moved to the area (which every club, especially major urban areas such as London or even smaller towns like Manchester or Sheffield) have. Well done Knight and Bloom for fighting like mad to bring that back after the loss of the Goldstone.
2. Having a bigger support than Leeds and Shef Wednesday should mean we can afford the best players in this division? No, parachute payments and clubs who have chairman pumping in Millions of their cash to buy players trumps that.
3. Some clubs with small home gates and not massive playing budgets such as Palace and Burnley have been promoted in recent years. Can the Albion do it? Yes, will they, well over to you Manager and players. Promotion is success, failure is not getting promotion. That is the standard. Simple.

I genuinely can't tell if this was said in jest or not, which is concerning.
For what it's worth, passion and excitement tend to mean very little when stacked against someone which genuine tactical nous.
I've personally never understood why a manager is considered to care more if he's blowing a gasket on the touchline, if anything it makes me think that his players aren't listening to him in the first place.

Just finished listening to that broadcast. If you're worried about the season ahead then you're only worried about results, and not the health and future of the club. More fool you if that's how you feel. The world has turned and football has changed. We're in good hands.
I trust. Hope is only required to pad out a few fantasies. The serious stuff is taken care of.
Long may that position last.

As always with moments like these and people questioning our ambitions I would like to point out that it is a marathon, not a sprint.
Why is that? What changes in "n" years time vs this season or next? I don't see anything other than pinning all our hopes on developing youth ... we may be successful but the Southampton model doesn't just happen because we've built a nice new training facility.
For me the clock starts again at the beginning of every season and those best prepared that season will have the best opportunity, and there's a huge slice of luck/good fortune needed too
