He's about a foot lower than both of us.
That's my point, only £200m.
The journey was clearly over the moment the best he could do was O'Gravy.
If Tony does actually love my club as much as I do it's about time he stood aside and let people with proper money take charge.
Then the real fans can actually see what Tony has be promising us, but spectacularly failing.

The club doesn't own the land in either location.
I thought they did in Lancing?
For the hotel you are bang on. At the moment......?.
6.6 It is unlikely that an alternative user could be found for the proposed hotel site as it is intricately linked to the Community Stadium’s operation and for this reason it is recommended that the option to dispose of or lease the land to TCSL for a hotel development should be explored further through discussions of Heads of Terms.
7. FINANCIAL & OTHER IMPLICATIONS:
Financial Implications:
7.1 The development will generate a land value to the Council for both sites and the council will instruct a valuer to agree the value of both areas of development with TCSL. TCSL will provide income projections and construction costs to enable the land value to be agreed. The cost of the independent valuation will be funded from the proceeds of the disposal. The value may be paid to the Council as either a single premium following the relevant planning consent or in the form of annual rent payments. Any premium would be paid prior to commencement of construction of the development. Any net capital receipts would be used to support the Council’s corporate capital strategy and any rental income would be used to support the Council’s revenue budget.
7.2 The council will need to satisfy the requirements of section 123 of the Local Government Act 1972 and ensure that best consideration can be obtained and if the council is minded to receive less than best consideration by £2.0m or more below market value than an application to the Secretary of State for agreement will be required.
Quite.

Why middle eastern? What's wrong with a Russian oligarch? Or a dodgy Thai frozen-food magnate-cum-politician? Or an American sports-management consortium?
There's lots of money out there that doesn't bear close examination. It doesn't have to just be oil.
That limits your options.
Good point well made.
I do actually want someone with a background in football, so perhaps Toby should be courting the likes of David Cunningham from Glasgow Rangers.
I'm not sure. But, I struggle to believe Bloom is willing to just let 200m go. Maybe he's willing to spunk a lesser sum and things like the hotel are a way to claw back some of the cash? Or he truly believes we will get to Prem and some of the crazy money from Sky will part-repay his outlay? Or both? He seems to calculating to just toss such a some away no questions asked.

Tony Bloom, I couldn't think of a better owner, what hes done/doing you have to take your hat off to him.

What does Tony know about football? No idea, but he knows what we have been through to get here. I would wager he knows more about football than Abramovich, sheik Mansour, the Glaziers or J.W. Henry.
We know that Tony is a Brighton fan. How many owners In the top two divisions were watching the club's they own before they got a few quid?

The punters here don't care. They'll take as owner(s) anyone who can deliver the Promised land -- IOW 11th to 16th in the EPL, for a couple-three seasons.
The new money could know as much football as Carly Ray Jepsen and her cat, and it wouldn't matter.

You seem to have stopped pledging your £10 to save the club. Have you lost faith, or run out of funds?

Good for you and most of NSC.
So why employ anyone at all if you are not going to trust their judgement? That's what he did, their judgement was wrong, they get shown the door. No doubt it will happen again at some point. I am not quite sure what else you would want TB to do in the same circumstances.

My point was that I think he has not shown too much football nous since appointing Oscar and I hope it improves. He has done fantastic things for the club but that doesn't mean he cannot be questioned, although it seems some will not tolerate any criticism of him...
You probably didn't have to endure first hand the shambles of last season?

Of course people can criticise him and your first sentence of this post is entirely reasonable, although I would change Oscar to Hyypia.
Your last post suggested that he should not have trusted the judgement of the staff that he appointed, which I think is rather odd so I said so, and this thread was started as some have questioned his motives after one poor season on the pitch, which I find absurd. Hopefully you will allow people to defend him under those circumstances? Remarkably, this does not actually imply that I agree with everything he has done.
