What Were Your Reactions To The MASSIVE Knight/Bloom News

[Mendoza]

What a mad few hours, Knight moved up to Life President, Tony Bloom bank rolling the stadium with £90 million and becoming the new chairman of the club we love

poll to come........

I had a lie down.

All though i Knew it was coming. For the first 5 mins in was in shock. Then excitment. The worry about Bloom with a possible 90% hold. Then excitment again.

 

[Simon Morgan]

Mixed emotions: the realisation that it wouldn't be the same without Dick, but also hope for a younger, richer man at the helm

 

[Deleted User X18H]

I was delighted ........................but until I sit in a big steel structure to the left of Village Way Northeast Moulsecoomb I will be worried !!!

I think that Dick Knight will be regarded by future generations of Albion fans as one of the clubs greatest heroes. The man who saved this club, I really feel quiet emotional. I wish him every happiness and dream about the day he sees us hosting Man Utd in the premiership. I think there are some very exciting times ahead for our club. Thank you Dick

I was pre-warned it was going to happen but was still surprised it actually occurred.

this is where I worry. I know NSC isn't the vast majority of fans, but a lot of people on here seem to be quite young and don't have much knowledge on everything Knight did back in the day. All that is seen now is a young, rich money man taking over from an ageing chairman making bad mistakes

I hope that this is not the case

good for security of Falmer, though I am confused as to who was origimally lined up / due to finance the project-

did they all pull out when the recession bit, or were they just in it for the glory, with,no intention of stumping up their wonga?

as to the costs doubling, wtf? surely a good time to renegioate LOWER costs, with so many people desprate for work..?

cheer to DK- for all his efforts for BHA, and bringing the bodacious Eva Herzigova into the worldwide spotlight.

it was courtesy of scott McCarthy on my facebook. i felt like rubbing his scrotum against my face.

 

[Bombadier Botty]

I crapped my knickers when I heard the news. Apart from that all was fine.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Disappointed that the status quo couldn't be continued, with Bloom putting money in from behind the scenes. But obviously too many footballing mistakes for him to want to stay out of it.

 

[goldstone]

I'm not so sure about the whole thing.
Firstly, I'm not overly pleased that gambling money is now behind out club. Gives the whole thing a rather nasty smell.
Secondly, how secure is his money. Is a firtune made on gambling ever secure? What has been won can just as easily be lost.

 

[itszamora]

He's been elected chairman, he is NOT single owner of the club.

 

[Wardy]

First reaction was feck me they were right. After that I was wow.

 

[Steve Foster]

Not at all surprised. Several months ago I made a thread on NSC that BHA had lost the funding from the banks & that the Blooms would be taking over.

The only surprise is the risen cost of the stadium. Or perhaps Slade has been given £20 million to buy new players?
