Pitched to me this afternoon by someone not dyed in the wool Albion but clued up on footballing matters

Bloom wants out.

Get a manager in who he knows won't cut it.

Shit storm ensues, with a number of supporters directly having a pop at Bloom and Barber.

Bloom says enough is enough and with two concrete assets, stadium and training ground, sells out to a foreign investor, possibly with the Amex link from America.

After all we've been through I hope he wouldn't resort to that, but clearly something's not right.

Bloom might want out but im pretty sure hed rather be selling it as a top end Championship assett than a div 1 bankruptcy candidate. Plus there was always a chance Hyppia might have done well which would have screwed the plan.

ATFC Seagull · Nov 1, 2014

Interesting, I would say no for 2 reasons:

1. Hypia looked decent on paper, and most on here thought the same.

2. He has been backed, to a certain extent, in the transfer market, esp with these latest 2 loans which I'd imagine aren't on cheap wages.

Can't believe that bloom not a quitter things will be sorted mistakes have been made remember bloom still new to this game so will learn from this and make things right whatever that entails.

part of this makes no sense.

if you're planning on selling your asset, you would go out of your way to maximise its value - even if just artificially for the short term

surely, it would've been better - if selling - to have ripped up the FFP approach, bought big, got the team close to promotion spots and then sold with the club looking viable for promotion.

not saying he won't sell. but I can't see how Hyypia forms part of the plan.

Suggesting Bloom is scuttling the good ship Albion to find a buyer is both daft and, dare I say, libellous?

Perhaps if TB wasn't having to stomach all the sniping and snide remarks, after building exactly what we wanted, he might not want out.

If I were him I'd definitely be saying well f*** off then, you ingrates.
The only difference is I wouldn't be selling up, I'd just put a feckin great big padlock on the front door.

Marshy · Nov 1, 2014

A ridiculous thread in my opinion

desprateseagull · Nov 1, 2014

cant see anyone wanting to buy, right now, with the club dragging along relegation zone.. might be cheaper than if we were near top, though.

I'd go right along with that.

btw, last week, someone who's not involved at NASA but really likes astronomy told me that the Americans didn't really land on the moon, it was all faked just to put one over the Russians.

Was kinda thinking the same...maybe the OP has his own agenda

Hmmm......personally I think that's a conspiracy theory too far. Have to agree with the last four words, though.

Jones is the weak link, was last year and is this year.

On the other hand it could just be a case of someone trying to stir up some anti Bloom and Barber feelings because they are no longer part of an inner circle and treated like a special fan? Who knows what goes on?

BensGrandad · Nov 1, 2014

I dont agree completely but Lenny has his ears to the ground and is usually fairly near to the point. I think TB could be thinking that owning BHA is an expensive hobby and would like to cut his losses.

El Presidente · Nov 1, 2014

It would be a poor financial decision, and Bloom doesn't make many of them.

Acker79 · Nov 1, 2014

Makes about as much sense as one of The Truth's posts.

Apply even the slightest bit of logic (as several response have so far) and the argument falls apart.

2nd Yellow · Nov 1, 2014

Agree with others above, this makes zero sense.

If I'm looking to sell my house, I decorate it first, change the carpets and generally make sure everything is as good as it could be. I don't smash the place up with a sledge hammer and leave the appliances in an unsafe condition.

gullside · Nov 1, 2014

Another loss, but I can still see us turning things around, good to see the strikers off the mark and before this game we only had 5 points less than we had last season so there's still time. Hyypia needs time and I think he will get it right in the end, we've not been battered by any team most have been by a 1 goal margin. UTA
