Well we've got one of them in Tony, but the question really is would we want different ?

There is if they can sign you up to a dodgy sponsorship deal

Obviously dodgy sponsorship deals are banned and will be discounted from income for FFP.
Trust Tony's accountants though. We'll be using any loopholes as much as the next team. No doubts.

3. 4 is also good though.
If 1 were to happen I would stop attending Albion matches. I would go to Lewes matches every week instead.

... a billionaire Arab/Russian oil tycoon who would throw money at the club for fun ?
Who the hell would want to pay good money to watch an oil tycoon's plaything?
I'd rather follow my local football team.

A fan in charge? We have one thanks and he comes from a family who have been involved for decades. I think you'll find that TB is thinking of the future of the club, hence the angst of quite a few on here over our lack of money being thrown at players. Sheesh

But do you not accept, that in many ways it is a vicious circle. If we start playing poorly then the season ticket sales may well be impacted upon next season, thus affecting us from a FFP perspective. I'm not anxious, but it is clear for all to see that we need at least a competent and pacy left-back and we may need to spend hundreds of thousands to get one, if this means selling someone to balance the books or go 'at risk' for until the January window (when we sell someone) then fair enough.
We have also seen over the last 40 years that the Albion supporters are quite fickle.
In terms of the thread, Tony Bloom every time.
My guess would be about forty thousand people. But I do agree with your point, I'd struggle with it as well. Problem is that without having that kind of ownership it seems like the best you can ever hope for is about 7th place in the top division. Football really has gone a bit shit hasn't it?

Apart from the millions for the AMEX. In my opinion, Tony Bloom's more Simon Jordan than Steve Parish...
The "50+1" German model is the perfect balance IMHO.

1. For me, it would be good for at least a couple of seasons and we would do it in an original way being Brighton and all that.
Get into the Premiership and when the billionaire gets peed off we can anticipate the parachute payments to see us through for a few years to come.

I must have missed the bit where Jordan invested in the infrastructure of Palace. Simon Jordan was a charlatan and gambled massively on the playing side as far as I recall. He was also a mouthy orange ****. Nothing like Bloom.
That is a good thing isn't it? We needed the Amex or we wouldn't be here. The stadium is really important, just ask Parish.

A couple of idiots who will sack the managers weeks after appointing them, but have the funds to buy big money names.....

Guess City spending £90million in this transfer window so far has thrown that theory to bed.....

Is it really necessary for you to post your uninformed drivel on a thread about ownership of The Albion?
Please just stick to Palace related threads, there are enough of them.
