Tony Bloom to take over? [Merged threads]

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

From what I hear, the Albion means a great deal to him, and he will put in whatever it needs to take the team to the highest level they can realistically attain, but it is very much a long-term plan and not a short-term punt.

Probably a bit late in respect of the stadium building company, but would still like to see a shitload of safeguards built into the articles of any company formed to oversee the running of Falmer after its built, so that it can't be used as a high value poker chip for any given individual. Just in case, like.

Not much chance of that, the club won't own the ground don't forget.

Would imagine Bloom would be content to remain hands-off so far as the day-to-day running of the club is concerned.

All the signs are that Bloom wants to be hands on, not hands off.

Unless he's playing Malcolm Glazer, in which case we'd probably end up keeping the stadium but with Tevez, Ronaldo and Vidic to go with it.

On the basis, that most rumours are lies and when people say from a "good source" its a bit suspicious to be honest...

I don't know if this is where the GS rumours stared, but earlier this year he was at Withdean, and was interviewed at half time by Harty during which Stevens made it clear he'd like to get into management.

Doesn't mean there's anything to it, but there is a reason for that particular rumour.

So, he's not going to get us in the premiership next year with a champions league win? Pfft. Don't want him then. He's not good enough.

Just meant that he appreciates £4 million a year over five years can be a lot more effective in the long run than £20m all at once. Might seem obvious, but there are many chairmen (and fans) who would opt for the latter.

Nothing from the club.

Are we going to be bankrolled or is it another false dawn

Why should there be anything from the club?

We have been Bankrolled by the Blooms for ages now - we would have been right in the s**t without their money

Tomorrow's Argus may or may not make interesting reading.

Yes.

Given the complete absence of any firm evidence for this thread (Argus, club website etc) can I presume that everything on this thread is pure fantasy and I can safely ignore it rather than waste my time wading through endless pointless posts full of fiction and foundationless speculation based on absolutely nothing whatsoever.

Changing chairman , potential to be bankrolled this summer

Surely an official response is required unless its all bollocks

As we would have been without the money of all the shareholders.

Just because there may be one shareholder putting a lot of money in now, it doesn't devalue what others have put in at various stages since 1997.

This thread is a merging of several threads. The earliest of which was started by someone who heard it from "a good source". This morning a couple of other threads popped up after an article appeared in the news of the world saying the same thing (link provided elsewhere in this thread). If you'll believe something because it is in the argus (which seems to get a lot of stories from here), I think you can believe the NotW (which was right about birchall going to LA galaxy).
