Harty SOCKS it to the NSC LICKERS (& Hyypia) in the Herald this week

[8ace]

£450,000 wasn't it?



Please don't BAN me [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION].

That's almost as much money as Ken Brown lost the club every month

Let's all play fair and discuss the facts.

Discuss what you like. I'm going to bed x

They don't have a chief executive on £480,000 a year as far as I am aware.

2. http://www.northstandchat.com/showt...-(New-Shirt)&p=6464873&viewfull=1#post6464873

A salary of £480,000 a year helps!!

Seriously though, the man must have the patience of ALL the Saints to do what he does.

He actually put the OP down with class too!

3. http://www.northstandchat.com/showt...to-The-Argus&p=6192951&viewfull=1#post6192951

The total remuneration for the highest paid director was £480k, I'll email you a copy of the accounts.

See you at the Hull game?

£480k for a CEO of a £25million turnover company is about right. CEO's of £5m-£10m businesses earn £150-£200k per annum, so on this basis £480k for Barber is about right. It's the going rate for a CEO.

Pretty sure it's been covered already that Barber earned that £480k

So there you go - 5 quick examples - there are probably hundreds on here so I have no idea what your point is.

It's also quite disappointing that after a regular flurry of texts between ourselves you have come out with these accusations in such a shitty way. Hold onto that idea for a beer at the Valley Bar, eh?

I think it was about £480k, and I've mentioned it LOADS of times before I'm sure, as have others.

I do suspect there's a bonus element in the total pay, as the job was advertised for quite a bit less than that.

 

[Lenny Rider]

Seriously. Wtf are you banging on about?

So Barber used the same soundbite in conversations with Paul S and Bozza? What is that supposed to prove?

How does it doubt 'Paul's

Have you been drinking?

I might have


Seriously Paul B went on the front foot with Paul Samrah, and the very next day Darren came up with the very same argument

Clearly great minds think alike.


Goodnight gents (and ladies) hopefully three points tomorrow

The last thread deleted that has any relevance to this was called "Ian Hart - Worthing Herald".

I don't have time in my life to review it fully but I believe there was some potentially libellous comments made in it. I don't recall how by though and I didn't delete the thread.

 

[Mowgli37]

Okay what sad case registered under the username: 'bozza is a dick head'?

The thread was removed after some derogatory comments about Mr Hart's day job as a matter of courtesy to him

I've defended Ian on many occasions, but think he's in the wrong on this issue.

There is a grey area at times between this board being independent and occasionally some of the moderating team having advance information that is subject to a publishing veto before a particular date and time.

However I've known Bozza a long time and his integrity is unquestionable in this regard IMO.

We won't be druv by Paul Barber or anyone at the club, at the same time people who make posts have to ensure the content is not libellous or defamatory. If you're not sure, don't post it, you're still free to call Chris O'Grady a useless..... though.

This thread presumably - http://www.northstandchat.com/showthread.php?311684

1. You'll note it was posted on a Sunday night, not a Monday morning.

2. As many people immediately noticed, it was largely what people would call 'click bait' - a contentious point to generate interest, debate and traffic. Exactly the sort of thing you have specialised in, and exactly what you critiqued me of NOT being good at back in the Scars & Stripes fanzine days.

3. I'm not one for originality but I do have a good memory and I can remember EXACTLY where the thought for the post came from. I'm surprised Paul S. can't as it was a direct response to him on a thread about him on here that basically said he was moaning at exactly what he'd spent years fighting for: a normal football club that goes through good and bad times on the pitch, where losing a few games was an issue again.

I can categorically state that the thread in question, if indeed it is the one above you are talking about, was not driven out of a conversation with any club employee including Paul Barber himself.

Could be worse.

He may be wrong but feel the love everyone and just breathe BHAFC, let's not hang anyone in the NSC stocks

Darren for all our apparent differences I'm sure if push came to shove we would have a beer in Findon Valleys only pub.

Plenty needed for Saturday's anticipated melt-down after the game - don't waste them.

 

[Soulman]

Harty says it as it is, he still HAS his finger on the PULSE

UNFORTUNATELY, I’m not sure that the 1-0 win against Wigan Athletic at the Amex on Tuesday night will ultimately stop the inevitable departure of current Albion boss Sami Hyypia.

With new management at Bolton and Birmingham also recording victories on Tuesday night, the wrong set of results on Saturday could yet see the Albion entering the international break in the Championship relegation zone.

Hyypia’s football pedigree cannot be questioned, with more than 300 appearances for Liverpool over a decade and honours including two FA Cups, two League Cups, a UEFA Cup and a Champions League winners medal. But, as both Bobby Moore and Bobby Charlton, and many others before and after them found out, this doesn’t always equate to being a good manager.

Many fans still question whether Hyypia will be able to consistently cut it in the Championship over the course of a whole season.

Looking at his Wikipedia page, it’s clear, away from football, he’s a loving family man and an all-round good egg with his charity work. So, the kindest thing that can probably be said, not for the first time in the history of past Albion managers, is he in the wrong place at the wrong time?



Even now, supporters question if he was the club’s first choice?

For all the spin-doctoring back in the summer about quality applicants, have the Albion, on the face of it, ended up with someone who, in the long run, won’t cut it at Championship level?

It’s not as if the alarm bells didn’t start ringing with some supporters early on. And it’s clear that it’s polarised opinion on the legendary Albion internet forum, NorthStandChat.

Fans who did express initial concerns were dismissed by another faction of the support in a graphic and uncomplimentary term – a barb which has come back to haunt its original authors in recent weeks.

In fact, the whole saga has almost appeared to split the support on NSC, which, is something, as both an Albion fan and someone who enjoys reading NSC, that is almost as worrying as the Albion’s form.

I’m not for one minute suggesting that Paul Barber, or anyone else at the club is controlling or censoring the forum, but as emotions run high certain threads have been deemed controversial /libellous by moderators and have been removed.

I’ve never made a secret of the fact that I consider the platform to air my views in this newspaper a privilege and perhaps did the wheels actually start to come off with the departure of Gus Poyet – and was qualification for the play-offs last season more about luck than ability?

Looking at his track record, it’s clear to see that, given the right circumstances, Paul Barber is very good at his job.

However, as we all know in life, not everything goes to plan, and clearly that’s what is happening at the Albion.

It takes a big man to admit he’s wrong, I’ve had to do it in the past, both on radio and in this column – and will do again if neccessary – so I hope that Paul Barber is a big enough character to realise that’s he’s totally misread the situation and still has time to turn things around, both on and off the field.

However, in his defence, and indeed to his credit, even in these difficult times, he’s still prepared to enter into dialogue with some of his fiercest critics.

Losing money with 25,000 attendances in the Championship is worrying, losing money with 15,000 watching in League One is far more frightening.

You just enjoy is losing. You love it. Never a positive thread.

Darren is a massive Albion fan
Harry is a massive Albion fan

Perhaps it would help Darren to clarify the communications you have with PaulBarber? The nature of them, who instigate them, whether there have ever been ably threats of libel towards anyone on NSC or yourself etc?

I think that might clear the air?

Who's Harry?

Who's Harry?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Ex-member of the inner sanctum now on the outside pissing in.
Somewhat reminiscent of a bitter old lady who can't forgive her first love for ditching her years before.
Sad but at least he has a soul mate in that other malcontented old biddy - our very own Enrest.

I'm struggling to remember when Ian Hart was a "member of the inner sanctum". If he ever was, it was a very long time ago and it didn't last long. He's always been his own man with his own opinions that are often not shared by the majority. And there's nothing wrong with that.

 

[Albion Dan]

Seriously. Wtf are you banging on about?

So Barber used the same soundbite in conversations with Paul S and Bozza? What is that supposed to prove?

How does it doubt 'Paul's word'?

Have you been drinking?

I think the suggestion thats being made is that Bozza made the same comments as PB the day after the conversation with Paul suggesting that hes being used as a mouthpiece? I have no idea but it is true and tend to think coincidence.

One thing though NSC needs to be as independant now as back in the dark days.

 

[GreersElbow]

I think the suggeation thats being made is that Bozza made the same comments as PB the day after the conversation with Paul suggesting that hes being used as a mouthpiece?

I do love a good conspiracy, any chance we could also extend this conspiracy?

Bozza is actually Barber...
