[Albion] We are going down

[Megazone]

The season of the Great Escape from relegation to League Two, Forster was injured. It was goals from Lloyd Owusu, Gary Hart & Calvin Andrews that kept us up.

It was Forster's goal on the last day which confirmed survival.

As good as Owusu and Hart were at the end of that season. Forster's goals the same season were priceless, we would have been relegated by march otherwise.

 

[origigull]

Yup. Back to back away draws without conceding a goal, and one of them at a ground we have NEVER won at.

Right now, I'm happy with that as I didn't expect any points from those 2 matches to be honest.

It seems that CH tells the team not to lose which means defend which is why there is not enough attacks in the games at the mo. If you attack there is more chance that we will score. If we defend there is more chance that they will not score. If we attacked more we might have won one game and drawn one etc, etc.

The CEO got £680,000 from this club which is flirting with relegation to division 3 - something is very wrong

How much money did his work, contacts and experience bring in though?

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Surely it'll be paid back?

Bloom does have a family, I'm pretty sure his background roots will have him passing down his money.

If we take Blooms contribution to be £200m, let us say we were paying interest on it at a fairly lowly 5% that would be £10m per annum. How is club that losses £12m a year even going to think of paying the interest? Even if the rate were that low and even if we could pay it that wouldn't reduce the £200m he has put in by even one penny.

So please, please tell me how he has a hope of making money out of this.

Selling players?

Unless and until Hyypia is sacked, we're going down. Dead cert.
And to play it safe, sack Burke, too.

He has converted some of his capital into shares, thus virtually wiping out some of the debt.

 

[The Merry Prankster]

What players? Even if you take the player trading profit of the last year (the lack of whichs reinvestment is rooting us to the foot of the table and so obviously isn't going to work for long) that might just balance the books for one year but it wouldn't contribute a penny towards interest payments and certainly no capital repayment.

That is not a stat it is an opinion !

 

[Medwayseagull]

he's entitled to his opinion though , just as much as you are saying we'll stay stay up, just because it doesn't sit right with you eh

Where did I say we are going to stay up ?

First team 18 months ago. First team now. Sales from. Money reinvested.

Jesus, you write in bloody riddles don't you.

I'm done, believe what you want. All I see is a bloke put up a hell of a lot of money with little chance of getting it back (if he wants to) unless we play top flight football (and even then it would be a push) and you think he has been asset stripping ...

Your post is spot on. Some people are just clueless... or drunk. You can't 'asset strip' a team if the initial cost came from your pocket anyway.

 

[Medwayseagull]

It's my opinion that we will. Maybe I should put 'In my opinion' after every view to make it easier for you.

Also, "We might do" is absolutely not hysterical is it

Clearly it is too difficult for you to understand the difference between the two but never mind you keep on stating opinions as fact if it pleases you.

For last season, where he oversaw a massive reduction in running costs, and we got to the play offs.

It's a fact.

 

[Medwayseagull]

It's a fact.

I suggest you get hold of a dictionary.

 

[Crispy Ambulance]

I suggest you get hold of a dictionary.

I suggest you wind your neck in.

We have not scored in the last 2 games. Fact.
If you do not score, you will not win games. Fact.

 

[Spicy]

I'm with the positive posters on this thread - we are not done with yet and still have time to improve. The team needs us to get behind them not to criticise them.

I understand very clearly thank you. No need for the hysterical over reaction

 

[portlock seagull]

We haven't been able to score goals for 3 bloody seasons. Even the Sahara isn't in drought for that long.

Boring and Hove Albion, the dullest team to watch and only £38 a ticket in the east stand lower by the corner flag. Great value.
