I must confess with outside eyes, I still wonder what the deal is with Bloom. There is no doubt at all that he's a genuine fan, the Palace owners have all said how decent they are too when we've played you, but if our roles were reversed I'd still be asking questions over that £120m (or however much it is he's put in). I think it's probably my suspicion from the Jordan years (where plenty of fans shouted down anyone who dared question Jordan's finances), but it's just a hell of a lot of money to give away with no return. A hell of a lot.
Still, no one gets into football to make money! If we hadn't had our consortium come along, I'd be supporting AFC Palace right now.
I do frequently work in the City and heard separately from different well-connected sources where Bloom has made money and what kind of scale and I've got to say that what I heard surprised and reassured me. I've got no proof, won't disclose details either but I'm a massive Brighton fan with no worries about Bloom's financial position.
