[News] Bill Archer (not dead)

[Weststander]

What?1?!?

My anger is still the same. It certainly doesn't consume me.

I met Campbell well after his involvement in the Indian in Nutley.

I gave both barrels and he took it to be fair. He tried to explain but as I said go on NSC and explain it. He declined, wanker.

Archer and Stanley, via the triangular arrangements, pocketed the multi millions. Not Campbell.

Why did he go along with it? A sycophant to Archer, or his ego in wanting to remain an Albion director to the bitter end?

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Where though?

The SDNP means that nothing will now never be built in the countryside around the city, bar far too small sites being infilled south of the A23.

They were offered a site in Pease Pottage which would have meant Horsham Crawley Brighton etc would be equally served.

 

[Easy 10]

The pie-in-the-sky bullshit we were being fed at the time by Archer and his cronies. Proper back of a fag packet stuff, although I remember actually being excited by it at the time, more fool me.

Palace fans, beware.

 

[Weststander]

I remember singing Build a Bonfire week after week and getting so angry at what he had done to us. He will always be the ultimate Bogeyman for the Club (a betrayal that makes the current anti-Potter stuff seem laughable), and annoyed that he is so wealthy that even paying such a large fine ain't going to bother him that much.
I don't think we should forget what he did, not least because it has defined the narrative of what the club has become over the past 25 years.
But, I actually think we as a club have moved on, and I mean that in a positive way. We are dreaming of Europe for God's sake, with a manager and a team who are fighting for everything (in a very different way to Steve Gritt and the boys 25 years ago). And that to me is much more important than worrying about what a sad old man is doing, trying to fiddle his taxes.

I’ve known his greedy ilk.

Believe me, this tax case will really hurt him.

These people are arrogant control freaks, they must ‘win’ every battle, it becomes personal against the adversary, here HMRC officers. Greed also, being worth £100m’s wouldn’t stop him being hellbent in not handing over to the public purse.

For cancer alone or all services?

All I can think of now is how long it would take to get out of that car park. 5000 spaces!!

 

[jackalbion]

That was never going to happen. We were always going to have to move from the Goldstone at some point. It's not that I have the problem with, it's the nearly going bust and spending 2 years at Gillingham and 12 years at an Athletics track. Although admittedly they were actually good times when you look back on them.

I often think about, and I know it was impossible, but imagine if they had managed to build the Amex on the Brighton station site. It would be the best ground, and definitely the best away day, in the country.

It would have been an interesting ground for sure, imagine if it was at the cement works, be a nightmare to get to.

 

[Horses Arse]

Time to let go

Nope

 

[Horses Arse]

in 2002 the tw@t was worth 350 million, just think about that for a second, never, ever, ever forgive or forget.

And the slimy fucktard is still trying to get one over on the general public.

I hope he suffers in hell for eternity

This is the only time I wished I believed in religion.

 

[Horses Arse]

No, not at all. I’m actually very hateful and bitter. I can’t let go of people who hurt my feelings and lifestyle. I’m still very bitter about Scott McGleash’s goal celebration not to mention Dean Hammond’s goal celebration against us for Southampton!

I was actually just posting a Shakespeare quote.

Hey nonny nonny

 

[Dave the OAP]

I think the bit where you typed ‘26 years ago’ needs to be considered a bit more.

So what are you suggesting, we ignore our history?

you are an archer apologist and I claim my £5

 

[lawros left foot]

Never forget, never forgive.

And, I don’t care that I won’t go to Heaven.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Most important stage for the minds recovery of trauma and abuse is………letting go.

And besides, it could’ve been worse

PS I went to Gillingham both seasons. I couldn’t give a shit about Bill Archer now.

You have a point but I'm not sure you quite read the room. I never think about him either. It isn't about letting go. It is simply amusing to see him suffering, and perfectly reasonable to post a thread on it. I never think about Gary Glitter or Boris Johnson, but I will certainly do a little shimmy when they get their come-uppance. You'd need to have a heart of stone to not laugh at that.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

It's not a question of 'letting go'. Archer is rightly loathed by us because of what he did to our club, but on a wider level he is just one example of the loathsome, callous self seeking at the heart of this economic system - the country is ruled by people who would thoroughly approve of what he did to BHAFC. They would see the £56.25p 'purchase' of our club as the actions of a 'red blooded businessman' out to 'provide for his family'. The whole edifice has to go.
I'll still have a few pints when he does though

Alas, we are entirely of the same mind, again.

Hope all well with you. I enjoyed the autobiog.

 

[WATFORD zero]

He doesn't even rate a passing thought in my normal day to day life, but since this thread is here, surely someone can find an e-mail account that doesn't go through his various businesses, just so that he can be reminded that, at the point Dick and Tony have got us to what is seriously dreamland, there are a number of people that still hate him with a passion and still hope he dies horribly

While it's still the case, in Britain all that extra money will buy you a few weeks, maybe a couple of months at the end of your life to consider what reputation you will leave and what memories people will have about you once you've gone. I'd just like the opportunity to remind him of what thousands think his inheritance will be

 

[Easy 10]

Quite looking forward to this thread title being amended. Can't be too long.

 

[lawros left foot]

You can’t expect all to remain the same by changing one part. There is a strong argument that a move was inevitable, regardless of ownership. There used to be constant talk of a move to Waterhall. Hillsborough accelerated the process. I loved the Goldstone as much as anybody and if people want to cling on to their anger that’s nothing to do with me. I’m just saying that I’m not angry about it and I’m fine with that.

I’m glad for you, that you can forgive.
Archer and his accomplices were never interested in moving the club, they wanted to kill it, I don’t believe for a second that they had any intention whatsoever, in the club getting a new stadium funded by the sale of the Goldstone site. The money from the sale was only ever going into the pockets of those 3 crooks. Thankfully, their ultimate aim was thwarted.

Their greed was obscene then, and Archers tax dodging is obscene now.
A truly hateful human being.

 

[dangull]

If it wasn't for him Brighton might still be playing at the Goldstone with a capacity of 17,000

Sometimes things turn out for the best, even if it didn't seem that way at the time.

 

[Brian Fantana]

Time to let go

I strongly suspect you’ll be in a minority here.

 

[Dick Head]

Time to let go

No it's not.
