Ken Brown leaves, Martin Perry retiring in July '14

[hans kraay fan club]

I fully expected MP to be the one who got the acadamy built

He is.

 

[Eggmundo]

With Perry gone our fight for the training centre is going to be a lot harder. The man know's how to campaign.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Coincidence?

BBC News - Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams to stand down

Rowan to the Albion?

 

[ees complicated no?]

zzzz....Brown goes..Perry retiring

you dont think thatsbig news?

 

[Triggaaar]

Why the zzzzz? It is fairly big news, given the importance of their roles in recent years.

Nobody else knew about it. Gets a bit boring slating the Argus just for the sake of it.

This.

When Naylor's exclusives have been revealed here days before, it's pretty irritating, but this time it seems he has revealed something that NSC didn't know, so fair doos.


I will also take this opportunity to say:

Thank you Martin, for everything you have done for us. [tony tiger]You're grrrrreat![/tony tiger]

 

[Blackadder]

That is big news. Mind you, Perry not going until 2014. Wonder where Brown is going? I mis-read the last paragraph. Instead of Robert Comer. I originally read Robert Codner!!!!

 

[BensGrandad]

Perry not retiring until the stadium expansion and the training ground are completed (2014). Good news.

Martin Perry

Great news that he will complete the job but why announce that he is retiring now as that is not likely to be finished for at least 12 - 18 months.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

In possibly related news, Dr Rowan Williams has announced this morning he's stepping down in December, leaving a vacancy for the position of Archbishop of Canterbury.

I think Martin Perry would make an excellent Archbishop. Or Doctor Who.

He's not gone yet, he's retiring in 2014. Until then, he will remain in charge of the stadium expansion and the training complex projects

"The Board will recruit a CEO for the Football Club, and in the interim long serving director Derek Chapman will take on the role of interim CEO. He will be responsible for the day-to-day running of the football club until the new CEO is in place."

Someone with Amex connections maybe?

Not going until 2014.

in two years time?

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Sounds very much like Brown was sacked.. why?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Surprised nobody has suggested it is Gus leaving.

Gus is 10/1 for the Archbishop of Canterbury vacancy. Though the Church of England funds aren't what they used to be, so Terry Connor's odds have just shortened considerably.

 

[Triggaaar]

I feel a song coming on...

 

[Curious Orange]

Brown pushed??

From the Argus article it sounds like he has another job lined up.

Good to see that Martin is going to "finish the job" before he leaves. Frankly, he has earned his retirement, and we Albion fans will be forever grateful for the job that he has done for our Club.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

MP is still CEO of TCSL (until 2014) who run the planning applications.

 

[Surrey_Albion]

Nobody should underestimate just how important Martin Perry has been in getting the club to where it is today. Absolute hero

Agree completly

 

[trueblue]

Anyone that thinks that changing the two men in charge of running the club on a day to day basis isn't big news needs their head testing. Especially given Perry's contribution through the years - albeit a predictable departure with the stadium delivered and training ground on the way. From here on, Albion's future plans may no longer be shaped by the past. Very significant.
