they were offered falmer first season at same rate but declined
Is that true?
He retired as President of GNS earlier in the year but is now working for Amex as a consultant. He is a smart guy and will bring a wealth of valuable business acumen to the club. Nothing to do with taking money out of the club at all.
Its a good move for both parties

I think it's great that we have experienced business men working within our club.

When you read business-babble quotes like this though, it makes you appreciate Gus's interviews even more.
"Godfrey added, "It is a huge privilege to be invited to join the board of a football club which is clearly on the up and one that I have actively followed for a number of years. The board's ambition is for the club to be the best both on the pitch and in everything we do off the pitch, and I am delighted to be part of a team who will aspire to achieve this."

i would have thought the club will be looking for a higher profile company now, but hats off to them for supporting us at a less glamorous stage of our renaissance.
my money would be on our shirt sponsers becoming Overline but how cool would dark star be?

Sorry Lush, I'm not quite sure what you expect him to say ... "It's an everage club, going nowehere, don't know what I'm doing here".
Happy birthday for next week BTW.
I must admit my first reaction when I'd heard he'd been following the Albion for a whole SIX years ever since he'd moved to Sussex was "where were you when we were shit?" Or more pertinently "where were you when we REALLY needed you?"
My second reaction was to realise I was being a bit small-minded. If you want the club to stay a noddy, two-bob third division outfit with only long-term diehard fans being welcomed at Falmex then yes, this is a 'bad' appointment and it should have gone to someone who's been a fan for forty years, was an STH at Priestfield and once gave £100 to the Alive and Kicking fund. If on the other hand you want the club to show a bit of ambition then this sounds like a good appointment.
Another potential comparison with with the Bamber era: Could Private, sorry, Mr Godfrey be the new Keith Wickenden? (Thought by many to be the real business brain on the Albion board of the late 1970s)

I miss those birthday cake symbols we used to have on here, I thought it was a nice touch.

I'll bet he has.
Sorry Phil, but the club could have gone to the wall and Amex wouldn't have given a f***. Please don't insult our intelligence and suggest we doff the cap to these random business hotshots.
