Tony Bloom "Extremely confident...we'll have a competitive squad"

[b.w.2.]

Mid table = less bums on seats. Tony isn't stupid, unlike some people on here who assume all our fans will stick with it whatever.

I think what you actually suggested was that he'd be a failure / be off at the very first opportunity. ALmost FOUR YEARS later, you were proven SPOT ON.

Well done you.

4 years later, he was proven entirely wrong. He wasn't off at the first opportunity and he was a massive success for the club. Apart from that, he was spot on.

Great news.

I was going to post something earlier regarding the poor attitude of some Brighton fans who seem to want us to bring in any Tom, Dick or Harry. I am certain the people behind the scenes are moving heaven and earth to bring in the right players but quality players are not easy to attract and some deals take time but are worth it.

I think Tom, Dick and Harry are better than Emmanuel, Leon and Gary!

Interesting bounce, not only was it very uncompetitive squad but it wasn't together until well into the season. Must do better next year....and proof that TB knows no more about football than the rest of us.

Hanging on got the prices down no doubt

Think that's identical to what he said when Hypia took the job

That's because it is. Check the date of the first post.

Oh getting familiar with making myself look stupid on here

Top man. Asked to delve into his wallet again (to add to the £150m +), whilst probably feeling a little sore from the marathon, and was genial about it.

This reminds me of watching clips of Michael Fish saying there will be no hurricane!

Bloom interview on Seagulls Player just published...
“We’re extremely confident we will bring in the right players for Brighton.We could bring in a few players tomorrow but we want to bring in the best players with the budget that we’ve got and I’m confident that at the start of the season we’ll have a very competitive squad”

Is this not along the lines of what we heard last year. He's not really going to say he'll bring in rubbish players, on high wages that are bad value for money with a team full of loan, free agent out of contract players. Oh no that was this year! From the man that said we have a play off achieving squad this year, when we have used 34 different players, its clear there is little direction at top levels in the club.

This is last year. It's been bounced.

Maybe the thread should have been bounced on April 1st...............

He's only saying what he knows we want to hear. Come on Tony, put your money where your mouth is.

Sure, he's built us a 100 million pound, state of the art, truly world class stadium. And sure he's spent 30 million pounds on a state of the art, world class training facility which will provide this club with young talent for years to come. And sure, he's trying to run the club as a successful business and make ends meet so we have a sustainable club for the long-term.

But the problem is. I think he lacks ambition. Why doesn't he go out and buy a player we've actually heard of. Today. Don't consider our options. Pay over the odds. Buy anyone as long as I've heard of him. I'm not content with getting into the playoffs two seasons in a row. I want more. I want it now. I want premier league. I want us to be like Man United. Why aren't we like Man United? I want..... oh.

Sorry, I've just realised that I'm actually a massive DONG and Tony Bloom is the best thing any football club in the world could ever wish for. But WE have him. We have the best chairman you could ever want in charge of your football club. Ever.

I think you might have missed the fact that not only has he funded a "world class stadium" and a "state of the art academy" but he's also funded your quite significant losses as well.

How anyone could accuse him of lacking ambition is utterly beyond my comprehension.

I really didn't get the Baldock signing a striker was needed and when we finally signed him we played him as a winger He has shown he can finish probably as things stand the best finisher in the side, obviously injured now but what the hell was that all about?
