I’m not too sure what this says, but it looks like it mentions us quite a bit.

It doesn't say much except to reiterate that it not a feeder team for Brighton.

He maintains close contact with Bloom, but makes it clear that the influence will remain limited. "We do not want to put together a core with all Brighton players in it. Union will certainly not transform into a satellite club. We absolutely want to preserve the individuality of this tradition club. "

Beer festival anyone?

The previous chairman has now moved to a Honoury President ( Dick Knight type- ? ) role.

They are now looking for a new CEO.

 

[Perkino]

Seems like an ideal arrangement for getting some of our youngsters some game time on loan and allowing them exposure to playing regularly whilst improving their first team squad

Interesting, Belgium is my favourite country in Europe that I've been to so would like to have an excuse for another visit.

He's gone to a club in a higher league. Surely you are not suggesting he is Belgian Division 2 standard "at best" [emoji38]ol:

Signing lots of players it seems. Tony must be going for it.

Any from South Africa?

Any from South Africa?

Maybe if a UK club failed to get a work permit ?

Pointless given what happens next year.

 

[Vicar!]

Post ground development shot. New stands behind each goal it would appear.

 

[BensGrandad]

That looks a lot better than Withdean

 

[Ⓩ-Ⓐ-Ⓜ-Ⓞ-Ⓡ-Ⓐ]

Looks like a kind of bizarre hybrid of Goldstone and Withdean

It's USG first league game tonight since Tony bought it. K.O is 8.30 their time so I think its 7.30 our time. They have just appointed Alex Muzio as president of the board. He is someone who has worked at Star Lizard for the last 12 years and owns 10% of the club.

"

"Do not think that I'll be here for a long time - I'm here for a long time - stability is the most important thing in a club. quickly, but I have already understood that our competitors also have great ambitions, and especially the means to achieve them.I will be present as often as possible, but not to run the club daily.It will be the role of the director. sportsman Alex Hayes ".

The latter considers the core entrusted to coach Luka Elsner "well balanced", but notes that the transfer window lasts another month. "So it is still possible to strengthen," he said, "but we will not show up so much in the transfer market ..."

Finally Tony Muzio from Britain, a business partner of Tony Bloom, is the new chairman of the board, with a particular mission to find a successor CEO Jean-Marie Philips.

That's interesting. We haven't had any Belgians on here quizzing us about Bloom, have we? It would have been another matter if he'd taken over an Iranian club lol!
