The Brighton & Hove Albion FC Board of Directors

[Withdean Wanderer]

1) Does anyone know who is on it?
2) Does anyone know what shareholdings are owned by each investor?



Probably been discussed over the last couple of days (although ask the club q would suggest otherwise) but i cannot find it, so if someone can point me in the right direction? (e.g FIXTURES)

 

[Del Boy]

Not a clue, had never heard of the Blooms until today, do they do anything

I think they are busy in Crawley!

Every year I see signs in the area saying "Crawley in Bloom"

 

[Del Boy]

Found this previous thread about da blooms

 

[LANGDON SEAGULL]

Dick Knight (49%)
Martin Perry (1%)
Ray Bloom (16%)
Derek Chapman (34%)

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Found this on Tim Carders site, no idea who some of the mentioned people are, but presumably they are no longer involved

"Dick Knight emphasised that the Board would not allow the club to be destabilised by any changes, and that the support and investment – which is helping to pay for Withdean – provided by Ray Bloom is most welcome. The new shareholdings are as follows: Archer 41.25%, Knight 37.92%, Bloom 16.67%, Pinnock 3.23% and Perry 0.83%. However, the voting system was shown to vest the “balance of power” in the non-executive directors, Sir John Smith and Richard Faulkner."

 

[Del Boy]

So I possibly spend more in merchandise a year thean Martin Perry has in shares?!?

That is the answer then, but i wonder if there are any other Directors on Board who aren't Shareholders

 

[Don Tmatter]

Norman Cook & Bill Brown have both put considerable sums into the club but for whatever reason havent joined the board.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

As mentioned on the Carder site, who are Richard Faulkner and Sir John Smith?

I THINK Sir John Smith was someone appointed by the FA in 1997, to overlook the running of the club.

 

[LANGDON SEAGULL]

John's right, they were appointed non executive directors in 1997 as an independent voice on the board to oversee the smooth running of the new board

Both of them? I see.

I wonder if anyone else is on the board then, or if that is the lot. Hmmm

 

[BobbySmith]

Thinks this is out of date, as our Norman has some shares, I believe...

 

[John Boy]

The person who owns the Friday Ad used to be on the board, but resigned, not so long a go

From the BBS, a story from Ananova?

DJ Norman Cook has invested £500,000 into Brighton & Hove Albion to become one of the club's leading shareholders.

The DJ better known as Fatboy Slim has bought 11% of the shares in Albion's holding company.

He has passed up the chance of a seat on the board.

His record label, Skint Records, has already been Brighton's shirt sponsor for the last two seasons.

A club spokesman said: "We are delighted to have Norman's much-valued support."



Also, who is Bill Brown?

 

[1066gull]

Maybe NSC can buy a share(s) in the club?

Don't laugh....

Barcelona are owned by the fans and look at them. If we can come together to sponsor a player, who not buy some shares?

The Idea of a supporters trust has been discussed often, and it is established that it might well happen when we get to Falmer.

But I am more interested in the CURRENT Board...

Also, who is Bill Brown?

Apparently a minted City type who is a name at Lloyds of London.

 

[Gully]

I went to school with a lad who went on to become a Lloyds name, doubt if it will be him though, he supported a team that are our nemesis.
