Everyone wants a bit of Albion. They admire the whole set up. Interest is universal in our players, coaches, administrators. This interest rarely equate to offers or “negotiations” , let alone the individuals even considering it. This one had barely anything to it, it appears.
But you’re right...
Given he’s stayed here for 11 years, turned down offers in the past and dismissed this one, and for all we know - not interested in certain offers on principle - then perhaps not.
Of course he might leave at some point - but this “rumour” was pretty thin stuff.
A “well placed source” said it was all “nonsense” . No surprise though that clubs are interested. In same way that they’d like RDZ to be their coach and Dunk to be their captain etc - so what.
None of the reporting i've seen suggests anything other than they're interested in Barber. Well, what club isn't ?
He might well be open to offers - although SA and a move definitely would be a surprise given his investment in Brighton, and for example his work for womens football . Of course...
