One out of the last four has been poor. Seems a pretty good record to me.

[Albion] Bloom's managerial appointments
- Thread starter Cheshire Cat
- Start date
Style of football.
We were lucky to be in, it was other teams shortcomings that allowed us to get there towards the end, and then we were well and truly shown up by Derby.

Yes, though the fact he allowed Hyypia to carry on for so long was bizarre.

The entire club has been learning how to find it's feet since the beginning of the Amex era. Mistakes have been made but we seem to have learned from most of them. Whatever happens, Bloom has the best intentions for this club and it's future.
Injury crisis? What CMS and Orlandi?
Not quite how I remember it.
He was going to leave in the February but was persuaded to stay.
We were so boring, Yeovil away, just terrible football - Craig Conway, we are so lucky with what we have now.....

Totally disagree with the OP on this.
Poyet was a great appointment and it wasn’t TB’s fault it all went his head. Since then we’ve had one really bad season under Semi/CH and this is the second worst. All the others have been pretty good - this the first year in many when we’ve gone backwards.
So I reckon TB has done pretty well.

We battered Derby in the first leg. Lost the second leg 4-0, but had loads of injuries. It wasn't Garcia's fault.
We did not batter them we lost 2-1, watch the highlights.
We were a poor footballing team, apparently as the last 48 hours have suggested this is the fault of the manager.
Sorry, I didn’t rate Garcia and thought the football was very dull.

You are rewriting history here, Garcia got little backing, lost good players who were replaced by shit ones, had an extensive injury list throughout the season, but he still got us to the playoffs. Absolutely no surprise the football was dire given what he had to work with and the fall out after Poyet

Oh and look how well we did when he left, it took some equally dire football from CH to keep us up after Hyypia and we then we spent a shitload, comparitively, the following season.
I think Oscar would have done well for us if he’d got the backing he needed but for whatever reason TB put his cheque book away and made money on sales after Poyet for a season and a half.

This. That could be a TB master stroke. TB is obviously a very successful businessman and a top BHA fan but not necessarily a footballing genius.
So what does he do? Employ someone who has built up one of the best reputations in the English game.
This.
Another stupid thread.
If you want to pontificate about shit owners then look no further than Old Trafford.
I am more than happy with TB.
Is this a click bait thread?
Basically, Tony Bloom has appointed managers who have taken us to the play-offs more than once; got us promoted more than once and seen us play in the highest echelons of the football league.
If that's poor and patchy decision making, then I'm lost for words.
Some people on here need to give their brain cell a rest.

75% of his appointments have been good. What on earth are you on about?

60% of the time, he's been right every time.

If memory serves that was the year Paul Barber couldn't open his gob without mentioning Financial Fair play. The year after the rules were changed to the 3 year loss which eased the cheque book slightly (and were the catalyst for Gus's ceiling comments)

Yes Hyypia was a poor appointment but he was gone by Christmas. If our first half of this season had been like our second half I think Chris would have been gone by Christmas as well.
Will always love Chris but football has always been a results driven business. Chris knows that and must have feared the worst on Sunday.

I don’t agree at all.
Poyet gave us some great football and left Garcia with the makings of a good team, the fact is that we actually went backwards. Investment wise(That is not rewriting history, but what the table states), that downward trend continued with Hyypia.
The quality of signings were an issue, but we picked up Lingaard on loan, Upson, Ward. Plus we still had Crofts, Stephens, Buckley, Lopez, Bruno, Greer, Barnes (first half of season), Calderon, kuszczak......
