[Albion] Survey: What do you think of Tony Bloom?

[Fungus]

Wasn't sure about Q3, so plumped for Norwich. Not many contenders, are there?

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Done

 

[Bozza]

He's utterly despicable.

He has brought in a team of administrators who are determined to fleece Albion fans at every turn, squeezing every last penny they can whilst delivering a horrendous experience both on and off the pitch.

The sooner we're free of Bloom and his cronies the better.

Brentford.


Brighton-lite.

Done. I'm guessing Newcastle will win Q4 hands down.

I put Man Utd for that one. I can't stand the fact that a foreign billionaire has been allowed to restructure the biggest club in the country such that they were cash rich and now have to service a loan to the tunes of £millions simply so that Glazer can have his grubby mitts on the wheel. I don't like middle eastern civil rights abusers running our clubs, but at least you can make an argument that they are doing some good if they plough their fortunes into UK infrastructure such as the owners of Man City have done. Where is the benefit to Glazer being allowed to run Man Utd?

I'm in a quandry. I want to support Mr Chairman, of course I do. But i don't want to do anything that supports or increases the sales of the Mail.

I need to delve into my mind palace as this has all the makings of a three pipe problem

 

[Simster]

Newcastle.. Chelsea.. et al too obvious.

The people running Watford are a sham and easily the worst owners in the PL for the football club itself.

Yes the actual owners of Newcastle and Citeh are atrocious as people but in regards custodians of the teams it’s hard to fault either (yet).

However in regards to how the owners behave in a footballing context can’t see past Watford for me.

I'm not sure about this. They obviously have a hire em fire em reputation, but so do Everton. But if I'm a Watford fan, I've seen the owners preside over the rebuilding of Vicarage Road and regular stays in the Premier league. Their manager turnover is a source of mirth, but it's really not the worst thing is it?

 

[rippleman]

It was only a one pipe problem after all.

Done to support Mr Chairman

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Done.

Other OK owners - Brentford for me - but there's not much choice really.

Q4 - who to pick - so many to chose from - could have gone for Utd, City, Newcastle but plumped for Chelsea - Roman started all this 'PL as a personal plaything' with his dodgy Roubles.

 

[Fungus]

Brentford.

Brighton-lite.

I did look at them, but was put off by the owner being a professional gambler.

Oh...

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Brentford.


Brighton-lite.

Yep. Put the same. Seem to understand their local community, the same way the Albion do.

Think it has to be Norwich or Brentford. The pies swung it for me

 

[nicko31]

The only other club I could consider that compared to BHA was Norwich, albeit with less money

Worst for me West Ham...

Depends on your priorities, and whether you have any misgivings over the sources of the funds, but you could argue for any of the following:

Chelsea - Abramovic has ploughed a BILLION pounds into what was a mid table club going nowhere - won countless trophies, attracted the best players in the world, modernised the stadium.

Brentford - Benham has mirrored Bloom. Taken them up two divisions and into a brand new modern stadium, in the Premier League, playing decent football, and with an imaginative recruitment structure.

Norwich - Delia, etc - all their own money into the club, rather than mortgaging it to the hilt. Three promotions to the PL. Run on a sustainable (occasionally profit-making) plan. Club's future top priority.

Leicester - Vichai and family - have ploughed a ton of money into a provincial club. Won the PL and the FA Cup, established as top half PL side. Regularly gift the fans drinks, scarves, t-shirts, pints, pies (and crappy clackers). More importantly, have ploughed a fortune into the local community - millions to the local hospital, etc. Seem decent people, who genuinely care for the area.

I voted for Norwich too - proper club

The "let's be having you" swung it for me

Norwich for me as well, although tempted by Brentford for reasons outlined, and in two minds about Leicester. On the one hand, overseas mega-rich owners, which was what the survey was supposed to get us upset about (I presume). On the other hand as said elsewhere, they are well liked by fans, and working well with the community.

Leicester for Q3 and Chelsea Q4 for me.

Agree with both your points.

Just feel if I was a Watford fan I’d be wondering if the owners really cared about the club and if it was a plaything for them until they get bored.(I appreciate a lot of teams could fall under that).

Think the lack of stability there is a cause for concern if I was a Watford fan.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Done...

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Brentford and MU for me for the same reasons as Simster.

 

[m@goo]

When they asked 'what in particular makes you think your owner has run your club well' I nearly
responded 'are you f***** kidding me'.

It is a hard one to answer because there's so many things but I simply said he always has the clubs best interests at heart.
