Now THAT is a giant flag I'd like to see at the Amex!

About time he had a banner (like Dick) to recognise all he's doing for us.

Its hard to imagine where we would be without our Tony at the moment

Whenever i watch Breaking Bad i think of Tony, working behind the scenes like this man.

 

[Don Quixote]

I demand a pitch presentation every home game, just like the Withdean glory days

It will never be the same again not seeing Dick on that pitch every single home game.

i wholeheartedly agree with the overall appreciation of the way our chairman operates - and just how good he is.

but I think comments about Gus "posturing" and the like are unfair. He is the manager and so the public front for the club, and as a well respected football person gets asked to do things on the tele and so on. But I get the impression most people outside the club would consider Gus to be eminently sensible and measured. he is seen as one of the good guys.

 

[Working class pride]

I'm not quite sure what your referring to.I presume you mean the speculation about our manager.

My post is nothing to do with this week, although again, he didnt feel the need to be plastered all over the press saying how he managed to keep Gus. He just let the actions speak for themselves and its business as usual. My post is more an observation that TB is not on the radio or TV at every opportunity. If it is a player that has signed, then he leaves it to the manager to speak. Or if the stadium then it was Martin Perry and now Barbour. Other clubs seem to have chairman busting a gut for media attention, whether on twitter or radio or tv. Bloom however just leaves that to those below him and delivers like a master. Just quietly pulling the strings. He also, when needed will also speak to the fans, but normally when there is a concern over something or a statement of substance once or twice a year when there is something to say.

Probably a groundshare with Whitehawk.

Probably a groundshare with Whitehawk.

I'd still like to see this. Bollox to the Amex - Whitehawk is a one bus journey for me.

Couldn't of put it better myself.

you could if you had used "have" instead of "of".

 

[grubbyhands]

you could if you had used "have" instead of "of".

Ha Ha , You sound like me, how funny. Silly isn't it but it really rankles me when "of" is used instead of "have". Do I need to get a life?

Have you noticed that with a minimum of press coverage, Bloom quietly pulls the strings and gets things done. This is a great asset to the club and in contrast to the classic "look at me" media, attention seeking chairman in football.

Seems to me that TB is not a man in THAT much of a hurry. He's put absolutely everything in place for the Premier League stadium-wise. And the training complex plans show his clear intent to build a DYNASTY. Just needs the team to produce the goods now. It WILL come, and sooner rather than later, either under this manager or under another manager. Nothing's surer. Keep the faith and enjoy the ride!

 

[Black Rod]

Disappointed we won't get a speech at half time on the pitch hearing about what a miracle job he has done keeping Gus at the club.

No, you don't need to get a life. Pedantry rules OK!
Without wanting to get at those who get things wrong, It just jars when I read things that are not right - missing or misplaced apostrophes, split infinitives (even though most people would accept them these days), your and you're being confused and so on and so forth.

..........What I do know is that if gus had left for Reading then Barber would probably have been seen as the major reason why.Now he is not leaving it is Tony bloom who is the reason why......

That seems a strange perception. What would Barber have been accused of and is he likely to be accused of it every time there is talk of another club after Gus? Also, what would Bloom have done to get Gus to stay - offered him more money or more transfer money (and will he need to do this every time there is an approach for him)? I really don't understand the 'Barber is responsible for everything bad, Bloom is responsible for everything good' reasoning but I guess some people will always think that way.

I really don't understand the 'Barber is responsible for everything bad, Bloom is responsible for everything good' reasoning but I guess some people will always think that way.

Cos a) it's comedy gold, 2) Nobody dare (rightly so) say a bad word against TB, iii) all clubs need an 'enemy' on the board.
