[Albion] Bloom Calls Emergency Board Meeting This Week

[Bold Seagull]

Bloom is a ruthless tough business man and a fan any one that thinks he will not sack Potter if he thinks we will go down with him in charge I think is wrong

It’s not that they’re wrong, you can only really go off past evidence - he doesn’t like mid season manager changes. I think he’d have left Hyppia to dig himself out had he not walked.

This meeting will be about Covid and Jan transfer window.

 

[Birdie Boy]

Fair enough. I guess if I had said “I heard a conversation of unspecified volume and vehemence once in an unnamed place between two unnamed people”, it might not register much on the thread Richter scale. Apologies to those offended.

No need to apologise, only snowflakes are offended.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

More likely a 'board meeting'....without the 'emergency' ('additional' perhaps)....... As you say, plenty going on for them to discuss - finances, upcoming window, Covid, current form, ground expansion and covid STH ticket allocation (I'd also add lack of a breakfast pie at a 12.00 kick off myself but I'm not in charge)

Will be genuinely staggered if he sacks Potter. Far more likely to come out with a strong statement backing him.

Yes, this. Not Brighton’s style to ‘hire and fire’.

The most stupid mistake was the early contract extension, but hindsight is a wonderful thing.

I’m struggling to see the benefit of removing Potter but then I disagreed with the sacking of Hughton. (Perhaps I don’t like change).

My understanding is that part of the technical director / head coach set-up is in part to retain a footballing philosophy when replacing a manager.

Also Bloom did almost sack Hughton before the end of season but felt it was probably too late to make a difference.

. Performances have been good and we’re probably a few points away from where we deserve to be. We’re confident it will turn.”

That quote is from Ashworth from October... 2019.

Why was that a stupid mistake, I keep seeing that quoted?

The longevity of the contract might be irrelevant depending on the clauses within it for early termination. Potter is supposedly amoung the lowest paid PL managers. Scott Parker is supposedly on over 3x as much. Even if there wasn't a protective termination clause, paying out the rest of Potter's contract would only cost you the same as 1 year of Scott Parker.

I'm with you on the managerial changes though. Too much emphasis is put on what influence they can in reality have. Year on year the table reflects salary levels and transfer fees. You get the odd anomaly, and sometimes a manager does produce a kick, but the truth of it is they can only achieve with the tools they have. Look at Wilder, hero to zero. But he hasn't gone from great manager to poor one. It's what is on the pitch that delivers.

I think it is possible that they will be discussing the strategy if the season is halted immediately after Fulham win on Saturday and we fall into the bottom 3.

If indeed your source is reliable, should you be running to NSC to tell everyone ? Especially given that the club are quite forensic in clamping down on such leaks.

Your entry will court nothing but unevidenced speculation and achieve little except a few hours of attention on you.

I had to get the message to GPott somehow and I haven't got him on SnapChat Bro!!

WRT attention seeking behaviour, it's pretty easy to see from my posting history on here that I'm mostly a lurker and only join in when I think things are getting boring. I see very little altruism on NSC so if you are the 'protocol & etiquette police' I think you need to up your game. Without 'unevidenced speculation' this site would need a memory stick not a server. And I don't run anywhere.

Blimey didn't see that coming .

 

[Farehamseagull]

Is this about the upcoming changes on NSC? Have Bloom and Barber forgotten the email addresses they registered with?!

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

I saw a bloke outside the Cliftonville this morning who was dousing a mince pie in brown SAUCE!

Talking of whom . . . whatever has happened to Enrest?

He gave up using NSC.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

He gave up using NSC.

Hilda probably banned him.

Big Hilda has him tied up in a little known sex dungeon under the Cliftonville as her lockdown plaything

I can reveal categorically that even if the Albion were to end up in the bottom three after Game Day 38 (don’t you just hate that American inflicted phrase?), Graham Potter will keep his job, as ‘Potterball’ is a long-term project. So that’s that then...!

That's a good article.

I wonder what the emergency is ? A decision on selling Bissouma ?

Has it been confirmed there is an emergency meeting?

I was wondering about that. Maybe considering cashing in on Biss and White to offset relegation and have a proper good go again next season when the world is a little bit more normal? Risky either way, but that's Tony's game.

If there is some kind of emergency meeting I would believe its either about a fat ****ing bid on Bissouma or about the Covid situation.

Not as far as I know.

As per post #8

Even as an "out" voter in the managerial poll I don't actually expect Tony to get rid of Potter - very far from it. And, if he did, I would have expected the decision to have been made yesterday and carried out today, a la Hughton.

I think [MENTION=38333]Swansman[/MENTION] and Potter will be hanging around for a while unless Potter has enough. It was the same story as Hyypia. You could also spin it as not wanting to pay off a contract.
