Excellent article El Pres.

I have to say this part of NSC is really starting to impress me and provides the indepth analysis that you dont get elsewhere.

 

[Benny Seagull]

agreed. i'm looking out for new articles in this section before anywhere else and have been very impressed with the journalistic talent NSC has to offer. keep up the good work, everyone.

More good stuff. No excuses for not knowing certain aspects of the club now

He took a homeless club with the whole community ripped out, payed its debts off, payed £80million for a new stadium, rebuilt that community even better for kids/disabled/albion in the community with a lot of transparency and risk involved, payed nearly £30 million for training facilities and he ensured through charters and laws that the club will ever go through what Brighton did, a lot of people are complaining at the moment because we have sold some good players and lost the 1st 2 games - give Bloom some credit, people need to learn about the FFP stipulations then you will understand that he cant just go throwing cash around to get into the premier league, look at clubs like Swansea and Stoke took around 10 years to get into and stay in the premiership after building new stadiums its only been 4 years

Good shit, El Pres.

Bit disappointing Matt, more two packs of Revels than cumberland sausage sadly.

"Paul Barber is the chief executive. That means he is responsible for the day to day activities of the Albion, and applying the decisions made by the board (as well as answering emails from outraged fans at anti-social hours). "

I Couldn't help but chuckle at the bit in bold!.

Thanks for that.

The purchase of shares by the NED's is odd .... I'm looking for some kind of angle there!

Agree. This section has improved NSC vastly. Thanks for the article El Pres.

I don't understand this business with the non-execs buying the shares - this is not a UK Company Law requirement. I was wondering about whether this had anything to do with a "squeeze-out" (thankfully nothing to do with El Pres's Revels) whereby a 95% shareholder can effectively force the remaining shareholders to sell up, but it's not clear how this transaction could be a step towards this, so I can't really see it. Plus, non-execs should not really be getting involved in any kind of tactical strategy against non-controlling shareholders. All in all, a bit of a mystery, unless it's simply an aligning of interests of the non-execs with other shareholders, but, even then, that's not a requirement of law....
