any suggestions on what I should say to him?

Archer, is apparently, giving a guest lecture about business success at my university next week.

I wouldn't go if it wasn't compulsorary for one of my modules.

Ask him if he still looks out for the Albion's results. No point abusing the bloke, it will just get you into trouble.

You'll probably say about as much as everybody else who posts about meeting the likes of him & bellotti, Absolutely f*** all. I'm looking forward to the day when somebody posts that they bumped into one of them and gave them some verbals they'll never forget.

I'd start off gently, giving him some room to hang himself. Do you think you can be successful and ethical, respectful of others, that sort of thing.

Then depending on what he says, hit him with some form of the 'What would your view be of a grotesquely greedy multi-millionaire shitting on an entire community for the sake of a few more quid in the bank?"

I think that falls short of all-out abuse, while maintaining integrity.

I blagged my way into one of the meetings that the FL held in 97 about whether they would dock us points. All posh like, in a suit, I went over and spoke to the ****. I promised him that I would be at his funeral and that I hoped it would be soon. He didn't get a chance to have me thrown out.

as it says below.....

Ask him if he still plans to keep his promise to all Brighton fans that he made on national TV, to deliver a state of the art stadium in Brighton for the Albion to play in. In order to keep that promise is he going to donate any money to help with the building of Falmer?

Yep. You are probably right. Generally I am not a very aggressive person but just thinking about being in the same room as that **** fills me with a rage that I don't think anything else could.

I am quite prepared to tell him exactly what I think of him, not that he will probably care.

I like that.

I can offer you 1 crumb of comfort from not too long after the closure of the Goldstone,i was buying petrol at the garage on the A27 near the newmarket pub,when our dear friend Mr belloti came out of the shop,i had to double take just to make sure i was not about to abuse a lookalike when b4 i could utter a word a, oi belloti you fooking wanker rang out from the back of my car,belloti gave a glance over and unbeleivably i swear to this day i thought i saw a smile on his face,i was big and hard and waited till he had gotten into a car b4 i gave him the wanker sign,hope this helps

I would just get there early, sit dead centre wearing the Albion shirt. And then, when he pauses for a moment or two, break out into a chorus of "Bill Archer, is a wanker, is a wanker". Though, I myself wouldn't do that, I'd be more subtle and get sussex by the sea as a ringtone, and set it off. Mess with the mind.
