Time for Bloom to sell?

Here here. It's always the loud mouths who get heard.
It is very clear that this has nothing to do with lack of money. The Jansson signing would presumably have cost £23m plus, as a previous bid from WBA of £23m was turned down by spurs. The two loans and retaining Stephens won't have been cheap. Izquierdo, Propper, Ryan, Schelotto, Suttner and Gross must have cost £35m+. Finally all our key players have signed new contracts.
This is due to mismanagement by Winstanley's team and perhaps also by Barber. Why didn't they keep Stockdale? The goalkeeper position has now cost a lot of money. It also seems as though we have failed to attract key players to come to the Albion. This may be partly wages, but that can't be the only issue.
The one inescapable management job is to get a balanced squad. From day one the only thing we needed for that was two strikers plus a Stockdale replacement. That we didn't achieve this basic requirement is an epic failure.
While it may be that Bloom's poker playing brinksmanship has had a part to play, it seems to me that Bloom and Hughton are exempt from blame here. Both will be hurting this morning.
Key question is what will happen next. There must be a significant risk of Hughton resigning. The silence from the club is very worrying. We need to get behind the team. We will have played 22 games before the January window opens. I would suggest we need 18 points by then to give us any chance of survival. Palace, Watford and Newcastle look to be the next weakest teams, so we need to stay close to two of these.
Let's get behind CH, TB and the team and give them all our support for what would be a truly great escape. We all know that we have been in much worse predicaments before. Go Seagulls!

I've woken this morning to find my previous conclusion was correct. That is there are an awful lot of F**kwits out there.

Well with the level of consistency he maintains it wouldn't surprise me if his friends in real life thought he was an idiot too.
How ungrateful. The man built the ground from the concrete below your feet to the seat you sit on each week.
And even without signing a striker yesterday which I can assure you must have been outwith their control. CH will still keep Brighton in the PL come the end of the season

Youre off your rocker, haven't you forgot what TB has done for this club.
Of course it was in their control. They have had four months to get a striker in but wouldn’t pay the going rate. That is their prerogative but to blame others is bollocks. If CH keeps us up with this strike force he is a miracle worker. May as well change the team name to Brighton & Hove Albion nil.

No, I know him, and he's a great guy, with a strange sense of humour.

Ban this prick please.
The majority of those 4 months are never productive. You can identify about 20 potential targets and never get position to speak to any of those targets for months. Then those targets also have options elsewhere. That's not to mention the failed medicals

If a wind up then do carry on, well played etc
