Taking each point in turn:-
1 - I disagree, I think Bloom has shown restraint in his dealings with our managers. Gus got himself fired, Oscar and SH quit, so it's not like he's the new 'Deadly Doug' or anything.
2 - We invested to a degree but I doubt you will find many that think we've done a good job, so I agree
3 - I think a lot of managers would want the job. Our budget is good, without being excessive since Bloom will spend as much as FFP will allow, we have a very decent stadium and training facilities, 25k supporting every home game and a very lively away support
4 - We have 25k+ going to the home games now, with that amount of fans you are always gonna get some who will bitch and moan, I remember some chap infront of me at Withdean who didn't stop moaning game after game even when we were winning back to back titles. Some people are just wired that way and any manager worth their salt understands this as SH proved today when he was very complimentary about the fans.
5 - Totally disagree here, I think a number of decent candidates will apply. We might not attract the old fashioned manager who wants to run everything (Pulis/Redknapp etc) but to be honest, FFP kind of prevents that anyway. There are plenty of other decent managers who would gladly take up the reins not least because I think it's obvious we are under-performing and it's a good opportunity for an organised and experienced manager to add saving Brighton from relegation to their footballing CV.
