Team Dick or Team Tony?

[Barrel of Fun]

I'd always go with the maxim -

Where would we have been without Tony? We'd have been in very serious trouble.
Where would we have been without Dick? We wouldn't have had a club to be in serious trouble.

Point is - the argument is always meaningless; one would have no place without the other.

Would the Blooms have not stepped in had Dick not come on board? I don't believe we would have ceased to exist.

Why didn't they join the consortium at the time then? God knows we could have used the money.

I don't know. Maybe they were unwilling to lead from the front at that point? I do find it odd that we needed a relative outsider when they had cash.

Maybe they were waiting in the wings and dick was the preferred option for them?

Don't forget that Ray Bloom was on Archer's board. And they didn't have the sort of money that TB has since accumulated.

Puzzling as to how it all worked out in those days. Why was Ray the last to jump? Did he trust them?

They are a very wealthy family. I'm sure they had more, collectively, than Dick ever had, in those days.

Did Tony not settle the bill that had us locked out of Withdean at one point

Were we locked out of Withdean at any point?
