No experience with them, but they have won lots of awards including Calde's.

yeah the awards did make me question whether they're as shambolic as some suggest

I have friends who have found work through their job schemes. As a school governor, I have seen some great work in schools. my children have made regular use of sports courses. I personally have used one of their health and welfare schemes.

So no negatives from me or my friends.

Good to hear.

Calde won Calde's award, not the entity.

"PFA Community Player of the Year".

Lots of his work is nothing to do with AITC.

Fair do's

It isn't biased or blinkered. Its what a professional in pr and comms really believes about what has happened in the last few weeks. My wife works in that industry, she is Albion through and through, and she hasn't been impressed with recent comms and releases. So many of her peers and contacts based in brighton feel the same. A CEO of a rival firm in Brighton actually said they thought Caraline Brown of midnight comms was being soft on the club with some of the criticism.

but like us she doesn't know the facts. Did she opine on Gus's behaviour? Does she know what's written in his contract of employment about what he can and can't say, and what he needs permission from the club to say and do? She acknowledges that the club has followed legal advice.....................not a bad approach when dealing with employment law.

That's a bit unfair on AITC.

Calde designed and ran sports psychology courses for and on behalf of AITC. It was they who nominated him for the PFA award. He couldn't have won it if there wasn't an already excellent set of community programmes in place.

I referred to the pr fiasco. She was commenting on how the pr has been handled. That is nothing to do with her views on Gus, legal issues, employment law etc.

But one thing learnt early on is that lawyers don't always make great communicators. Some do and become barristers. Not all barristers are like rumpole or kavanagh qc

Also lets not forget the use of the word 'pending'. Clearly tony was better briefed because in the video (a great piece of pr, head and shoulders above anything that had come from the club before) he used the word 'impending'.

Wow, I had no idea you could get this sort of wage working for such a small charity!

Two employees received remuneration amounting to more than
£60,000 in the year (2010 - 2).

He's finally been pus...I mean 'stepped down'.....

[B.W.]

The word I heard (from an employee of the Club, not AITC) was "horrendous".

Horrendous!? Referring to Tony? The club? AITC?

 

[B.W.]

Maybe now one or two on here will wake up.

What!? A club employee allegedly says something (an opinion) that is posted on here in an ambiguous way by an admittedly usually reliable source, but with an agenda, and you expect people to 'wake up'!?

I've been slated previously for saying it but there are unsavory things happening at the Albion !

Prove it. Remember, both posters are full members of the DK love-in society.

 

[B.W.]

What costs?

In 2010, AITC cost the club nothing. In 2011, it cost them £258.

Genuine question. Why then?

 

[B.W.]

and there's me thinking that Dick Knight was part of the club

He still is, as Life President.

 

[B.W.]

Including some people employed by the club who have spent the last few weeks seemingly trying to prove that the amex is twinned with Disneyland.

In YOUR opinion.

Justify that last comment given the rather patient way I've tried to respond to yours and Albion dan's petty digs and snide comments recently. I suspect you havnt even accorded me the courtesy of reading my responses.

So in your own words. Prove it.

I helped Oxfam at one point until I realised that 90% of what they make goes to employees and the remaining 10% goes where it is needed. I now subscribe to charities where the money gets to the grass roots that need help.

Not true. You really should be careful with claims like that, and before you ask I worked for them for a while so I know better.

 

[B.W.]

Yeah, I'll admit it, I have never been totally on board. I'm not ungrateful, not anti-TB, ambivalent more like, but I didn't like the way that a mere ten years after Archer we were back in majority ownership again, despite everything the board had committed to since those fateful days, and I didn't like that our club's saviours and those responsible for winning the Falmer battle had been replaced by a bloke with money that we knew very little about - other than he saw BHAFC as part of the Bloom-family.

However I had largely been won round to him by the end of the season, he made an excellent management appointment, backed him to the hilt (ha!), was patient and hands-off in regard to the footballing side, his investments in the club are substantial and apparently have been made in a way that, whilst he can recoup his investment it won't hurt us if he leaves, he is serious about not running up massive debts, and the fans concerns for a long time remained at the forefront of the planning - it wasn't just about profit but quality too, and the vision of a community club that respects its history was continuing. On paper he made a good CEO appointment too. All of this is different to your average mega-bucks football owner. Clearly in recent weeks there are some question-marks arising on a few issues, however, so yeah, sure in my hypothetical world I'd be happier if DK was still chairman.

All good until the last sentence. Why? Dick IS a legend, but he could take us no further. Tony could, and has!

In YOUR opinion.

Yes my opinion. And if you read the post at the top of this page you will see how I have referenced others who share that opinion (and stronger)
