Bill Arrcher`s friend

[Questions]

Whilst away on business last week I met someone who claimed to have worked under Bill Archer, and said he knew him very well.
He maintained that the Albion would be in their new stadium by now if the fans had not kicked up such a fuss and just accepted a 2 year ground share at Fratton.

utter gash surely?

Total and utter bollocks, still anybody who worked with Archer probably trained to be a consumate liar.

Oh yeah.

We'd probably be Trowbridge and Bradford Albion or something by now.

He said it had been 9/10 years and that Brighton were still at least 3 years away from a new ground. He said Archer had told him that the Brighton fans had got what they deserved for failing to support the club through the tricky early 90`s period and had been the reason for the initial huge debt.

Oh so he had been trained by Bill Archer then. More fool him for believing Archer's bullshit.

Good fishing Questions. You're getting more bites than Ernest nowadays.

As if I would wind people up on such a subject. Sick jokes, immigration, racism maybe but a new stadium ?

Did you kick the shit out of him ??

He couldn't, after all, Turds of a feather stick together.

He was only relaying Archers views not his own. Where do you think we would be had we waited for Archer.

Have I upset you.

Have I upset you.

No, not at all, you just wish you had.

 

[BensGrandad]

I think that we would have been a hell of a lot nearer having a ground as he had the money to 'buy' his way.

I was told at the time by a number of league chairman to stick with him as he had good plans for the club. Whether or not that was true nobody will ever know but we have gone so far we just have to 'keep right on to the end of the road' as the song sung by Birmingham supporters says.

I must have hurt you. I`m sorry.

 

[who me?]

just proves that someone is telling lies here.

archer,you or archers friend is totally ignoring the facts that at the time of the of loosing the goldstone archer was relatively poor.
as an EMPLOYEE of the stanley trust archer had a resonably well paid job but his wealth(relatively speaking but not that substantial) his fortune is based on share options awarded well after the goldstone sale when the focus/wickes/great mills "empire"became a listed company.
one of you is also ignoring the fact that albion debts included loans from the stanley trust and massive penalties for late payment of interest payments,charges that archer could ensure were levied by not making payments when they were due.

archer wanted to shut us down and pocket his share of the surplus from the sale,if that was not true why did he give up control when the no profit clause was re-instated in the club's constitution.

he gained control of the club for 66 quid on the back of a promise to the previous board members that he had the best interest of the albion at heart.the only director of a football club to attend less than a dozen games in his 6 years in control.he had no plans for us except extinction.

he damned nearly got it

Utter RUBBISH...66 quid...

It was £56.25, so I thought?

 

[who me?]

o/k so i got the vat wrong

i thought tony blair started his bombs for iraq fund a bit early


100 pound shares were issued he got 51 stanley got 49(w.t.f. does stanley always escape the hate he is due for his part in the destruction of the goldstone?)

so archers total investment was 51 quid +vat

Originally there were a number of prominent fans who were taken in by Greg. Perhaps if more pressure was put on Greg in 95/96 (rather than on Archer and Bellotti the mouthpiece) things might have been very different. But it's water under the bridge now.
