You wouldn't have heard it, but I was told from someone (fairly high profile) within the club who still visits Gus and remains on speaking terms with him. Not a "look at me" post in the slightest and I don't want to get into a "who was it?" debate as that will remain confidential

I think the OP is a wind up. However there is a serious point. Barber arrived in June 2012 just after we had finished 10th in The Championship. The next season we finished 4th. The season after that 6th. If we finish 10th or below this season what will he have achieved? Arguably, regression.

Barber has got zero to do with on field performances. He's looking after the P&L and more importantly, trying to drive the revenue up.

In that respect I'm not sure he's doing too good a job and I'd rather he got on with the real business of generating income than architecting the constant propoganda that's spun out of the B&HA marketing machine

Any chance of you being the next to piss off?

No one else would have Mutts Nuts so i guess we are stuck with this pratt

None what so ever i have supported the Albion from childhood and always will,in our over 100 year history we had 1 very short period in the top flight.Why do so many on here feel that because we have a shiny new stadium we are suddenly going to be competing with the likes of Arsenal,to do that we need to spend money on the team they win or lose games not the ****ing stadium

Very little evidence of that from your usual posts on NSC

We didn't spend money on the stadium when we were at the Goldstone and thats why it fell into dis-repair, lots of it was then condemned and helped lead to financial difficulties that saddled us with Archer and co.

Do you think we would get to and be able to sustain PL football at Withdean and survive?
Do you think that ................

Ahh forget it, your an idiot and it's just not worth the time and effort to point out the obvious to someone as blinkered as you who thinks that the PL is the everything and we have to be there or else the...the....world explodes or something? I don't know what and why you think it's essential? The club will survive without it.

Why is that, is it just because i do not expect promotion like the idiots that post on here.We are not a top flight club the shiny new ground will not change that, lower your expectations ffs, Letting Murrey and then Ulloa go proves my point

 

[Guinness Boy]

Why? The teams on field performance isn't his remit.

How much of his job is to with the team?

Surely his remit is only the commercial side......

Barber has got zero to do with on field performances. He's looking after the P&L and more importantly, trying to drive the revenue up.

Sorry, but bollocks, bollocks and bollocks.

He is CEO - Chief Executive Officer. Not CFO. Not Marketing Director. In charge. Of the whole club. If his making a profit leads to us going down the club is f***ed and he would be the one to go. I'm sure he knows that.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I have said before Barber doesn't seem to fully understand the value of good will and it's benefit during down turns. He's alienated too many with his simplistic price increases; anyone can jack up prices during the good times. It looks like we're heading for a lean on-pitch period and we will see a sharp decline in income as a result. Maybe Bloom will see this a get shot of him.

So does he pick the side, does he decide the tactics? - no
Does he scout the potential signings - no

Does he work with those who do and with Bloom to try to sign those that are potential targets - yes, but that is as far as his influence goes on the playing side of things.

If you are blaming him for the poor results, why not blame Bloom and he's likely to have been the one who had the final say so on potential signings. - Oh i forgot, he's not a target of irrational hatred on here

 

[RexCathedra]

As Gus said in the summer, when Barber arrived he predicted it would take him two years to undo all the good work he (Gus) previously did

The rooster on the dunghill makes the sun rise, by crowing.

Fact.

Well done for jumping to several conclusions at once.

Tony Bloom is paying Paul Barber handsomely - very handsomely - to run his football club for him. Performance on the field is therefore part of his remit.

Believe it or not TB has more going on than Brighton and Hove Albion FC and therefore employs someone else to run it for him. If something bad happens to the club on Barber's watch then he'll be held accountable and no mistake.

Nothing bad has happened - yet. But if i entrusted someone with one of my businesses and it found itself returning worse results each year I'd be calling them in for a little word.

You assume that i think that this has happened. It hasn't. But it might.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Why do SOME fans have to have a 'hate' figure...someone to blame...Paul Barbers job is to run the club with a remit to keep us within the Fair Play Rules...and as far I'm concerned he is fully fullfilling and worthy of his position.

So if nothing bad has happened and in the vast majority of our supporters think that nothing bad will happen any time soon why do you think he needs to go?

Explain the logic?

You're a bit thick.

Just a bit?

I tell you what. You point out where I said he needs to go and I'll take it from there.

Barber is a top Premier League Chief Executive in waiting, IMHO.
