Team Dick or Team Tony?

[clippedgull]

It's a bit like the chicken and the egg I think without Dick there would have been no Tony ??

Without supporters there would be no club.

 

[Knotty]

How much do you think the club
will be worth in the prem ??
Two years ago West brom were valued at 125 mil if Brighton get to the prem I would like to think We would be worth as much as them if not a bit more ??

Before or after the Stadium has been paid for and other debts and liabilities paid off?

Dick all day long

 

[Meade's Ball]

I don't have any spare mud to fling, and i certainly wouldn't do so in the direction of Dick Knight, a piped legend, or for our current governor who i have mostly iron faith in.

In the words of the old song, they are a bit like Love and marriage, they go together like a horse and carriage: "You can't have one without the other"

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

If I had Tony's money I would do exactly the same thing as he has done. However, Dick was instrumental in saving us.

Different times call for different people. We have been incredibly lucky to have two brilliant Chairman following each other.

It's no great surprise that they do not see eye-to-eye. They are both very determined people and invariably they will see their own was as the right way, that is why they are so successful.

Well said. I was considering posting something about "Horses for Courses" - i.e. different types of chairmen for different situations. Dick did what he had to and could do. Tony is taking it to a different level.

 

[PWA]

Both great.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

A BIG Dick, for me.

TB is a very rich man, but legend? That title needs to be earned.

FFS! What is it with people today? So many ready to start a fight in an empty room around here.

There is NO choice between these two men. Dick Knight saved the club and Tony Bloom has secured its future. There is no doubting the Legend status of either. In my opinion anyone who seriously doubts that is an idiot.

The ability of some posters on NSC to turn molehills into mountains is quite simply astounding sometimes.

 

[Bwian]

I'm sure most of us would be here supporting AFC Brighton & Hove, though probably in the Isthmian league or similar.

Is that a Whoooosh I hear?

Ridiculous. TB isn't a legend for HAVING £150m spare. He's a legend for choosing to pour it all down a big hole, to safeguard the future of our football club.

And he was doing so LONG before his name was over the door.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Anyone else a little sad they don't seem to be able to get along?

 

[Goldstone1976]

Anyone else a little sad they don't seem to be able to get along?

Sad? Yes, very. Surprised? Not even a little bit.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Sad? Yes, very. Surprised? Not even a little bit.

Me neither. The parts of the book which deal which their relationship are certainly interesting. A real, real shame as ultimately, both have the club's best interests at heart.

What I was saying Bloom will someday want his money back so the money wasn't out of his pocket like some on here are saying
it's a business deal for him

Team Tony

Lets get real dick knight did a great job saving this club, but the dream would never have come true with Tony Bloom investment

Being mischievous, you could argue , where was blooms millions when dick and the rest of us were trying to get rid of archer...old man bloom was on the board at the time, but didn't put himself up as a dk / saviour character?

Just a thought at 6:15 am in Houston struggling to sleep!

That is not to say I am at all ungrateful of what th has done, however this anti knight revisionist history is very distasteful....a bit like eating alligator.

TB isn't an idiot. If his investment in the Albion was a 'business deal', it would be the worst, most ill-advised business deal of his life. Bloom has thrown that money away, for the love of the club. He might one day see SOME of it back, but he's well aware that equally, he might not.

It's a business deal for him If not why didn't he buy in when dk did ?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Anyway, only one way to sort this out.
