Someone needs to take responsibility

[Dirk Lehmann's Python]

I don't care if it's Bloom or Barber.

Learn from your mistakes!!

1) It's a DISGRACE replacing Ulloa with O'Grady, but you can be forgiven for making a mistake. To then replace him with someone of the calibre of Darren Bent with Leon Best is absolutely shocking.

2) It's a DISGRACE spending MILLIONS on a short League 1 striker who runs about a lot (CMS), only to realise they don't really fit our playing style. It's forgivable though, transfer blunders happen. But to then do it again with a carbon copy in Sam Baldock is piss poor.

That's the reason above all else in my opinion that we're in a relegation scrap. Someone somewhere needs a ****ing slap.

CLOWNS in charge of this club when it comes to on the pitch matters.

Blooms fault for employing Hyypia, Burkes fault for signing a number of poor players, Hyppias fault for not being as good at managing as he thought he was and not getting a grasp on the strength of the squad. Both Hyypias and Burkes fault for walking into the start of the season completely unprepared.

I don't know whose fault it was for not signing a quality striker, Bloom and Hughton probably.

The whole strategy has been wrong for a long time now and that has to come down to Bloom.

It's been a piss up in a brewery this last 2 seasons.

Nice shiny buildings but it's the people that make the difference we seem to have forgotten that.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Who's going to slap who? Is that threatening behaviour?

 

[Seasidesage]

I'm not going to slap anyone....we'll unless I bump into Alan Pardew then all bets are off...

Are you suggesting that Bloom doesn't make himself accountable for our failures?

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

No, just that we don't seem to have had a clear strategy over the last two years and that comes from up top.

 

[Stat Brother]

Bloom is responsible for EVERYTHING.

Bloom hires.
Bloom pays the wages.
Bloom fires.


How much more responsibility is there?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

This thread isn't about anyone taking responsibility. It's just about pointing the finger of blame at someone.

What is needed is what the thread title says - someone to take responsibility for getting us out of this mess. It HAS to be the manager.

 

[nwgull]

I agree, but all the while that Tony Bloom continues to pick up the £10m a year tab, he's going to be fully aware of his responsibility, and I don't think he points the finger of blame at anyone else.

 

[Brighton Mod]

How many more times, its the executive who should take responsibility:

Recruitment
Unrealistic pursuit of FFP
Vague strategy
A view from afar Tony Bloom 'we have a top six squad'
Disrespecting the Championship
Being disingenuous with the paying fans

I'm starting to find something distasteful with those who run the club I love.

But apparently there's a sale on in the club shop?

Of course and apparently we're eating more pies even though there are less people attending and after a complete botch on the parking at Bennetts Field, ffs, the car park is open for business with a handful of home games to go. Four caterers in three years, a car park upcock and that's before we get to watch a game, is there any wonder what happens on the pitch is shocking!

I feel that its growing pains,from what is really a new club,compared to even the wilderness years.Mistakes have/are being made.The buck stops with Tony Bloom,but he is a fan and he has stuck his neck out for the club,my guess that he has stuck it out rather too far,for his family's liking.This is a crap season,and my only hope that the lessons have been learn t,CH seems a step it that direction.

........................ but who will pay him back?

Is it £150 million?
Pays the piper calls the tune?

So, let's sack the Chairman.

But who will pay him back the £150 million he has put into the club?

 

[LamieRobertson]

Theres a lot of angst about

I didn't say sack the chairman, it seems he is getting advised badly from a football perspective, maybe we need more football people on the board?

Absolutely this.
However, if you pick poor players, it matters not what you pay them. They are still going to be poor.
