Paul Barber On Radio 5

Garry Richardson has just trailed a Sportsweek interview with Paul Barber, talking about the appointment of Dan Ashworth:

Harry Wilson's tackle · Sep 30, 2018

Looking forward to it. Presented by Richardson like an astounding coup, on a par with us singing Brazil's new star, or my getting off with Fanny Ardant.

Who ever thought that this club would be in a position where we could out-pay the FA? Back in the days of Archer and Bellotti, the loss of The Goldstone and eleven points adrift at the bottom of the league, if you had asked us for our fantasy chairman, we would have probably all described Tony Bloom. Committed, loaded, but also with enough nous to plan everything for a sustainable future. We are almost singularly lucky to have a chairman like him.

Why only ALMOST singularly lucky?

Are we out paying the FA? Paul Barber used to work for the FA. It struck me they were saying the only reason Ashworth could be coming to us is for more pay. Sometimes, in life, people change jobs for a challenge rather than just monetry reasons.
It was another way of saying, no disrepect to Brighton, but....

The suggestion made was that the FA wouldn't compete with wages paid by any Premier League club. My understanding was that the guest added it because it was the one incentive that Paul Barber didn't mention. I don't think any disrespect was intended.

Almost because I don't know who everyone else has got.

Richardson's classy interviewing is a world apart from the banal questions asked by the pack.

My money is on him taking a job at one of the tv companies or at the Premier League itself.

And Steve Gritt came in when nobody else wanted the job.

Seventh highest paid CEO. Worth every penny too IMO.

I wouldn't disagree with that EP if he was more flexible with his customer care.

But will he "do a Murray" and go up the road to double his wages only time will tell
