Who reckons Archer and Stanley

[Icy Gull]

may have benefited from the 2nd sale of the Goldstone for 20+ million about a year after it had already been sold for 6 million, or is that totally unthinkable?

Everytime I see or hear how just how wealthy Archer has become it winds me and makes me wonder how he went from just running Focus to getting to be so rich. It may have had nothing to do with his Albion dealings but....... or should I just get over it and look to the future

I suspect they got a sum from the developers. They were probably on the payroll for them.

He didn't run it he owned it didn't he? I would imagine that the money he took from the club was a drop in the ocean compared to what he made from Focus-Wickes.

I almost choked when I saw the Wickes advert in our programme on monday. Shocking!!

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

Archer has flogged Wickes now. He doesn't own it. I don't think we'd have carried the ad in the programme if he hadn't.

 

[sams dad]

Wickes is now owned by Travis Perkins,who often sponsor home games

 

[Superphil]

DK refused the Wickes ads last year while Archer was still the owner, now that he has sold it, we have the ads

After the Goldstone was developed Chartwell Land sold it to an insurace company 20 Mill +, I have often wondered if them three barstards or anyone connected with them business wise were investors in Chartwell

Actually he did just run it at first - he was employed by Greg Stanley who actually owned the business.

My guess is that Archer probably shafted Stanley as much as he did us - went from being an employee to owning the whole lot and being a lot wealthier than his former boss

I still firmly believe that Greg never set out to harm the Albion. Anyone who actually knew him would have seen he was a genuine football supporter who really had a feeling for the club early on but he let that parasite Archer in and the rest was history.

Stanley spent most of his time so pissed that I don't think he knew what Archer was up to. Greg made no money from his time at the Albion and actually paid the wagebill out of his own pocket when we were in trouble.

Archer, on the other hand is a scheming **** who stitched the club and supporters up a treat making himself a pile of dough at our expense.

That was also my understanding and however strong my contempt towards the C t, he is obviously a long way from being the alcohol laden fool that his employer seems to have been.

So he never read the papers or anything then? To claim ignorance is beyond belief. Stanley was part of the Axis of Evil along with Belotti and Archer. End of. And he made a f***ing mint like Archer did.

 

[227 BHA]

On what evidence do you know that he made a mint?

My understanding is that Greg Stanley put a fair amount into the club in the early days but had signed his shares over to Archer and was safely supping large brandies in his box at Stamford Bridge when the shit started hitting the fan.

Greg was long gone when Archer ripped the guts from this club

Yes, Greg was a fool and it could be said it was all his fault for bringing Archer on board but it was Archer and Bellotti who did the damage.

I knew Greg Stanley aprox 15 years ago when he did some good things for this club and because of that I was probably more saddened than most at the way his tenure ended but like I said, I still believe that Archer took Stanley for a ride and as a drunken fool he never saw it coming

Would this be an appropriate moment to wish all three of those c**ts nothing but pain, suffering and misery?

 

[eastlondonseagull]

I think it's highly likely that Archer profited from the sale, but he covered his tracks. It's only a dirty hunch, mind.
