What TB has done for this club is fantastic, the only problem I can see is the expectation which has been fostered i.e. "Premiership ready" "expecting playoffs" etc. Arsenal suffered for years after a new stadium if we had been fed this scenario there would not be such a binfest about every player that isn't top notch and expecting mid table for a few years would have saved major angst.

There's no doubting Tony Bloom will go down in BHAFC history as the man who transformed the club both on and off the pitch. But, this makes it even more baffling to see what is happening this season. If you take a step back and look at it on the face if it, the people running a football club are responsible for ensuring there is a competitive team in place, within the clubs budget, when the season starts. Now, for whatever reason, this season, in doing this they have failed. The transfer windows is irrelevant, as it now looks like were will be 2/0, potentially 3/0 on Tuesday (I hope not!), so what is going on?!

No doubt he has done a lot for this club and is a good bloke, brilliant stadium , brilliant NO 1 training facilities, but so have Dick Knight, Martin Perry etc etc and the fans who marched and protested for years !!
There are too many people living in the past, we need to move onwards and upwards and that means, believe it or not, spending larger amounts of money on quality players to get us into the Premier League, not stupid daft amounts with over inflated wages I may add.
What would be wrong in spending £15million on a left back, another centerback, and two quality strikers ?? Nothing and paying them £15-25,000 a week ??
Assombalonga when begging for £4million ****ing £4million why didn't WE buy him ?
My mate works at Forest and has done for years, and has said he is on around about £16,000 a week plus bonuses.
About rightish for the Championship, when you know the lowest paid in the Prem are probably on at least double if not a lot more.

Where do you think the club is going to get the money to pay wages like that if not Tony Bloom?? It can't print money so it has to borrow from somewhere and a bank isn't going to lend money to someone who can't pay it back. Where do you think the club can borrow £10m a year from?

The expectation has been fostered by the club and in reality they can not match what they have created that's why the customers are moaning and quiet rightly to,you do not pay a lot of money for an inferior product especially when you've been lead to believe otherwise. Also tony bloom upgraded all the lounges and fixtures and fittings costing no doubt millions more than actually needed to be spent I should imagine the training ground also ,we seem to like winning awards for best stadium,best pies ,best catering company then got shot of .now best training ground , and forgetting all about the team ,and having to sell the best players because he cannot afford what he has created It was one club one identity under poyet,now one club one ambition . All sound bites designed to make us spend more money If we can't afford it for a season or two then fine but don't treat us like mugs

This, We are being asked to pay top dollar for all this. We have pimped up the stadium and spunked money on trims and tassels. The expectation was sold to us and we could not believe how lucky we were. Somewhere down the line someone forgot to buy any decent players. We have decided to create our own players, but this will take time. For £20.00 quid I will give them time. For £40.00 quid I will not. I have supported this club for all my 42 years and will continue to but I get more value watching Worthing Rugby or my local Bognor Regis Fc.
