[h=3]Bloom: 'We can go up without Gus'[/h]8:26pm Monday 24th June 2013 in Albion By Andy Naylor
Tony Bloom
* Tony Bloom insists Albion can mount another promotion push without Gus Poyet as manager.
* The chairman has hit back at the sacked Poyet for claiming after the play-off defeat by arch rivals Crystal Palace in May that Albion may have gone as far as they can.
* Bloom, breaking his silence over Poyet's dismissal, said: "Gus has mentioned he fears that maybe we have hit the roof. I don't have those fears at all.
* "I just think we are moving nicely upwards and I think that will continue and I think we will have a very good shot at promotion this season, so I disagree with him on that.
* "Financial Fair Play is hitting all clubs but, because we have such good crowds and such a good fan base, perhaps it hits us less than other clubs.
* "Certainly it will affect our footballing budget a little bit but I feel we have every chance of a promotion push.
* "It's not easy at all but I would be hopeful of at least a top six finish."
