I think you're over thinking it TBH. It seemed a perfectly reasonable statement to me. If we were top of the league by twenty points Bloom would have probably still had a quiet word with his manager before jetting off - like he does every year.
How else do you want it worded?
"Albion chairman Tony Bloom reassured under-fire boss Sami Hyypia about his future before jetting off to Australia."
Seems pretty factually accurate to me.
