Is it TIME to SACK Ken Brown ?

[Tubby Mondays]

Can I just say lay off Tubby because he doesnt put his holiday plans or ask NSCs advice on his personal life on here.

Im thinking about though, its obviously less hassle than having an opinion.

 

[The Large One]

Isnt it implied by saying 'We cant tell you where its coming from...' That it is in place?

Er, no. Why would the financial transaction be kept a secret if was already in place? There would be some kind of law that said you had to disclose your sources of funding within your accounts.

If they'd said 'we can't tell you where it came from...'

My point being that I dont think it is and ever was. Leading to my worry that there may (or may not be I concede) people being employed by the club that may not need to be, given their wages and apparent lack of impression.

'Apparent lack of impression'. Do you mean, 'you don't know what they do - or even that someone does it, and because it doesn't directly affect me, it's probably sod all'. If not, can you explain?

For instance - I am in semi-regular contact with Paul Rogers. Him and Kevin Keehan organise the increasingly popular Friends of the Albion business breakfasts. They are also responsible for Friends of the Albion, liasing with over 200 companies who are in the Friends of the Albion. They also organises things like the 1958/83 Albion Celebration Dinner, hospitality at home games, the runinng of Albion promotions like Heroes & Winners and Withdean Wager, selling match and ball sponsorship packages, selling Kit Sponsorship, the Kit Sponsors' do... Probably loads more stuff I can't think of just yet - and that's just the stuff I know about.

 

[Caveman]

It's not even as simple as that.

You highlight a very pertinent point, but for me, it's still the excessive cost of getting into Withdean which is the killer. One point in case, the Gillingham game (£10 a ticket) was a home sell-out. According to Ken Brown last week, the number of returns since then for the re-arranged game? SEVEN.

KEY!

Yeah thatll be it.

OK , KEEP Ken Brown & SACK Dick Tight then

Anyway, getting BACK to the point, I don't think we should SACK anyone, AND without further ado I shall CRACK on and WAX lyrical no more.

Carry on.

 

[1066gull]

Thats right. Sack Ken Brown so we have Dick Knight controlling everything again. The idea for KB was to relieve DK and MP of certian duties.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Just because Ken Brown keeps a low profile doesn't mean that he isnt working his nuts off trying to bring in additional revenue. Perhaps all the posters on NSC with all the brilliant ideas to bring in the dosh should tell the club rather than whinge.

 

[NMH]

The rafters?

Where are they?

SACK ERNEST. He knows so little about the club that he thinks we have RAFTERS.

I'm just glad I wasn't drinking or eating when I read that post, or it might've spurted out through my nose!

(Shepherds pie - not a pretty sight all over the keyboard and monitor)

 

[NMH]

Anyway, if we are to take this stuff seriously for even a second, I'll say that we ought to welcome people as investors putting their money where their mouth is, and especially if they have a good record in football, already.

 

[SICKASAGULL]

Be fair to Ken Brown you cant expect any improvement until we have a decent side playing in a higher league, a number of one time regulars are of the same opinion, you could leave the gates open and they would pass on by.Its that shttp://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/images/smilies/mad.gif
erious.

Brown out Ernest IN we want a Brightonian as head of the Albion not some cockney wide boy

 

[NMH]

Adams had one season rebuilding, Wilkins has had nearly 2 seasons now so how much more time has he got ?

If DW could come across a player of a Zamora quality, I reckon we'd run the division.

We don't have that at the moment, and our strikers need two touches before they 'risk' a shot.

Know of any more Zamoras or Wards out there Ernest you Football Genius?

But isn't El-Abd the 'new Zamora', according to you?

THAT was a good one, Withdean Whingerer



It's probably escaped your notice that AeA is becoming, match by match, our best and most consistent player.
'Course it has

Actually, it hasn't. El-abd has been generally VERY GOOD since around October, although he's still prone to a few cock ups - e.g Yeovil.

Not sure about 'best' player, but most consistent? Along with Kuipers and Elphick, probably.

 

[e77]

As someone pointed out on the phone in the other day, a big reason for the small attendances is the size of opposition.

Anyone know if attendances have fallen or risen in the Football League in the last five years?

 

[Tubby Mondays]

You think Kevin Keehan can do the sales AND commercial job on his own?

You think Martin Perry can work full-time on the Falmer project from his office at Withdean with five other people AND run Brighton & Hove Albion on a day-to-day basis from the offices at North Road?

You think one physio can cater for 30-odd playing squad members?

Go on, how does it work?

Has Kevin Keehans post been advertised yet given that he left months ago and it is such an essential role within the club?

Go on, has it?

 

[Tubby Mondays]

Why not discover the facts first and then criticise if you feel it appropriate.

Why do you feel the need to criticise when, by your own admission, you know nothing of who does what, how much they are paid or if they are paid at all? (It is entirely piossible that some Directors are not employees and therefore do not get paid a salary.)

Still dont know so tell me.

Give me the facts.

 

[KNC]

I think you will find Dodge now has Keehans role.
