[Albion] Promotion to the PL was worth £200M, or so we kept being reminded.....

[227 BHA]

Most of those clubs - QPR, Norwich, Hull, Boro, Reading, Fulham, Sunderland - have had two or more spells in the Prem, as have Palace, Burnley, Southampton, Leicester etc.

You want to take that risk?

 

[Westdene Seagull]

You are thick .

And you're a dick for wanting a new board. I suspect you weren't around in the bad years otherwise you'd realise how good our current board is.

I was here under Mike Bamber mate, a real football man.

Back already! ...Anyway hang around don't get disheartened after one sortie

 

[Gazz15]

Good to see you are back already! ...Anyway hang around don't get disheartened after one sortie

I meant to say "I'm done here for now".

Life is too short and all that.

 

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

You don't know me, and suggested I had not been around Brighton since 1970 - quite astonishing tbh!

As for flack, it's water off a duck's back, but I do see why so many wont post on here now, no-one likes to discuss the reality of the club! You are either a 'bedwetter', a Palaarse sleeper' or not lived here since......

With that I'm done here.

Thanks for the entertainment but don't rush back. As Gazz15 must refer to your age it must be time to do your homework before school tomorrow. Good luck with your exams this year although I hope for your sake you won't be pinning your hopes on a maths or economics pass.

Oh, if you ever pass the Amex or the training ground, just have a quick look and think how much money it cost to build and maintain such places.

 

[Albion my Albion]

Meet up with you? I don’t do invites from bulletin boards and it would be a bit pointless wouldn’t it

Chicken s**t!

Meet up! Meet up! Meet up!

I'd like to see two strangers meet up somewhere and buck some knucks about what they typed on a message board.

Thrills!

 

[jimhigham]

Hasn't Tony sunk something like £250 of his own cash into the club at this point. Say it as a quarter of a billion pounds and it sounds outlandish. I reckon he's entitled to ease up on the rate of loss a little bit.

Well it would appear someone is available, so nows your chance

I've no idea. I'm just being boring with facts and pedantry as usual. Forgive me.

 

[GreersElbow]

Just because we offered 23m for a player it makes it all better. The thing is we didn't get him probably because he was above our pay structure which makes the bid rather pointless

another missing the point and fallacious arguing otherwise.

Your inference is that we didn't get him because of our pay structure.....jesus wept.

And we finished the game yesterday with 10 outfield Championship players, doesn’t say much for our recruitment does it.

That's not the point. OP was stating we didn't invest, whether they were played or not is not the point.

 

[TottonSeagull]

I can’t think of an adequate replacement for CH, though I worry about his history of getting a team promoted but not keeping them up.
Similarly Anthony K dazzled in the Championship, but can’t hack it at the top (deja vu Leicester )
Why spend millions on a striker when we have Baldock ?
I honestly can’t fault the team, but everyone else has sussed out the style we play.

What a clown!
He has no history of getting teams promoted and not keeping them up! He took Newcastle back up and got sacked with them in the top half of the table. Norwich were already in the Prem when he took over and he didn’t get them relegated. When he was sacked they were not in the bottom 3!

 

[TottonSeagull]

I blame the Board for our likely relegation, NOT the players or Hughton! We had every chance to recruit in the summer with our windfall, and rather cocked it up.

I have been around since 1970!!!

Talking shite since 1970!

Haha, nothing wrong with facts and pedantry.
It just seems clubs haven’t been yo-yoing as much the last couple of seasons and seeing clubs like Hull and Sunderland in the positions they are in is worrying as parachute payments no longer = instant promotion

 

[Brian Munich]

Tony Bloom is a gambling man and after yesterday I would hope he takes the gamble on breaking the wage barrier and getting a couple of new players in.

He’s not a gambler; he takes calculated risks. There’s a big difference.

Sunderland were a bit of a basket case playing wise and Hull have big issues with the owners. Middlesbrough who went down last year are on the fringes of the play-offs as are Villa from the year before.

 

[Lower West Stander]

We obviously need someone else in - but I’m getting ever more frustrated by not giving Baldock a chance.

Goal scoring has been our biggest problem this season so I really don’t understand why he isn’t at least given a chance. It has been patently proved that our current set up is not conducive to scoring goals - so why don’t we change it?

He's a gambler alright, he often risks all on the "River Card'!! (For the benefit of the illiterate) Sussex Nomad

 

[poidy]

As I said to someone yesterday....we need an upgrade on a 36 year old Glenn Murray!!!

We are not, I repeat not, trying to replace Lionel ****ing Messi here.

It shouldn't be this ****ing difficult!!!
