My apologies, didn't take into account that it may have come across as dead serious to someone with a palm permanently glued to the face.

You should try to moving that hand from your face sometimes... makes you see things better, youknow.

Easy to say now, isn't it? Just like it was easy for you to say in the summer that you would not hold it against GP if he left the club for a top one if TB / PB told him "ees complicated" about the transfer window. If in ten years or so a season would go shite - which does happen to nearly ever...

Okay, to me it is really clear that "projects" don't work like that and that the Premier League also does not work like that. Running a football club is a never-ending project, Brighton and at least 91 other clubs are always trying to improve and get better - the "project" never ends. Three...

I've felt similar things but obviously not with Brighton. I've cheered and screamed while watching Brighton but obviously it's not the same thing as when I watch Lunds FF score the winning goal against Lunds SK in the dying minutes. Sure, supporting a Swedish 7th tier side perhaps doesn't come...

Yes I can agree with that. I'd say its just about exactly as unusual as a top 6 club offering the job to another PL manager after six games. No project has ended. You could maybe say there was a change of project manager but as far as I've seen the club is still up and running and the team is...

Ok.... hmm. Nah, still not really getting the point. He had players with good potential and helped them fulfill it. Not sure we're disagreeing here?

No one said Biss and BW were at Brighton because of GP so whatever your point is, its pretty easy to miss it. Nope, I don't think you should get on your knees and worship the ground :shrug: And no, Potter does not have a restraining order against me.

Yes they were. Bossing the PL every week huh... Yeah, he was at Swansea for one season, introduced 10+ players with limited or no senior football experience who were subsequently sold for a lot of money. Dan James for example could barely get into the Macclesfield matchday squad the season...

Probably not. You don't make billions by making apologies. I think Tony Bloom is a lot of the things you don't accept that Potter, Bruno etc. are. You think Chris Hughton felt backstabbed when he was sacked after keeping the team in the PL? You think Dick Knight really thought it was entirely...

The only way he could get his money back is likely to sell, yes. Unless he finds himself in a financially difficult situation for one reason or another I just struggle to see it happening though.

Interesting theory. Certainly never experienced anyone telling me to f*** off here, so you're probably right that I have a big fear against experiencing such a thing. As for you last sentence, you don't like me and I don't like you and this is nothing new.

Yes he got a six-year contract with one of the highest buyout clauses and lowest wages in the PL. Because he thought it was good for Brighton. Not as some kind of charity thing. "The project" is never done. I can't understand that I have to explain this, but football is a continuous thing. It...

Say the expected media-trained shite and he'll be cold and robotic, "behave like a fan" and he's evil and calculating. There is nothing he could have said that wouldn't make people twist the words in the direction they want.

Absolutely, no doubt that he left due to personal and professional greed. Still, the retrospective idea that TB was doing him some kind of megaservice by not sacking him just isn't true. They were doing good things for each other: GP operated on a comparatively small budget, and TB accepted...

Tony Bloom and Graham Potter did a lot of good for each other. TB didn't keep Graham because of some kind of loyalty or favour but because GP was giving him what he wanted. And GP, who could very likely have got a job at a somewhat bigger and wealthier club already a year ago, stayed because TB...

The players were indeed brought in by the recruitment team. While it may be a strange coincidence that everywhere GP has been, previously unknown or raw players have developed postively over time, I'm inclinced to believe he played a part in it. In Östersund, the club signed players for less...

"You" referred to mr sheebo and not... anyone else, pretty much.

Bloom stuck with Potter through some terrible runs and Potter stuck with Bloom despite being the only club in the league, possibly ever, to achieve a net transfer profit over 2.5 years. There's plenty of managers who in the past have either walked or thrown their owner under the bus for not...

Because I don't want to. Like I've said 10 times or something. Go to the f***ing Shed End yourself, I'm not interested. Problem with Bruno is that people thought that they and the club owned him but eventually it turned out that Bruno owned Bruno. I can see how that is disappointing but when...
