Who thinks Mr Bloom has got it right this season?

[The Andy Naylor Fan Club]

THIS SEASON is only one week old. Ask me again in twenty weeks time.

 

[British Bulldog]

It's Bloom, everyone reports to him remember.

In which case it's time he bent over and took one for the team.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Only Mr Future and Mrs Reflection will be able to judge with accuracy.

 

[wigman]

I personally think he has financially! On the pitch its a disaster!

It is not often that I say anything negative about our club, but TB is paying Barber way too much.
£488,000 is a year is a joke.

1/2 a mill to 'enhance my ticket buying and match-day experience'. Bargain.

We have not been promoted with a set of players for 2 years. Would we have been this year with Barnes, Ulloa, Upson, The Pig, Ward, and Buckley. My guess is not. So right to cash in but wait to see how the money will be used before reaching any conclusion. Anyone coming in will need to be better than those that left.

I see what you're saying but with a business head on TB invests that £500k in PB to make sure the out goings are minimal and the income is maximium.

PB won awards for his work with us last season and I don't think anyone, in fact, i know none of us on this board could do any better.

Always easy to judge when you're looking in and don't really know what is done on a day to day basis. I take my hat of to the bloke.

They were our best players though. Wouldn't it be better to keep our best players, but replace the passengers from that side? Our team this year could have looked like:

................Stockdale

New RB - Upson - Greer - Ward

Buckley - Bridcutt - new MF - new MF

...........New striker - Ulloa

But with FFP now being a thing, I guess that's impossible.

 

[The_Viper]

How can anyone who is willing to give 23 other sides a 15 point head start in a disgracefully tough league even be thought of as getting the early season strategy right

If paying the chief executive around £9,000 a week is "a joke", what do you make of Stephen Ward demanding £13,000 a week, while some of our squad are milking the club for even more than that?

Does this go in our trophey cabinet?

 

[knocky1]

Has he made mistakes. Yup sure, its virtually impossible not to.

Are we better of with Bloom than 90% of other Owners? Damn right we are

If you cannot give the man who funded our £100m stadium and World Class training facilities a bit of leeway then I think you've got a pretty shallow mind-set.

Sure things look bleak on the pitch right now and Promotion looks to be completely out of reach at this point, but Bloom is in this for the long-term and I'll support him and the people he hires through bad decisions and good.

Up the Albion

Oh dear.

What hat are you wearing?

 

[knocky1]

"This season"??

Why are you judging after THREE BLOODY GAMES? It's completely pointless. It's like writing a progress report on a play after 30 seconds, then you complain about inapt acting.

You are right we are completely pointless after 3 games but as a critic you should be inept not inapt.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

How many kids have had Ulloa and Buckley on their new shirts, paid for by their parents. Now I know players move on in a season but we have hardly kicked a ball.The kids must be gutted and the parents pretty pissed as well.

Genuine question: when you get a player's name on the back of your shirt, is it sewn on or steam-pressed on? i.e. can the name be unpicked and replaced or are you stuck with it?

The latter.

Who thinks Mr Bloom has got it right this season?


I would imagine that if I had to play poker with Tony, right now would be the best time !

 

[scousefan]

I think the club have messed up this year. They've been a bit unlucky in the transfer market but they have gambled by leaving things so late. However I trust Bloom to do his best to turn it around. I just hope it's not too late

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

The latter.

Cheers.
