Ken Brown leaves, Martin Perry retiring in July '14

[LamieRobertson]

Any idea?

 

[Tricky Dicky]

It says @ 11, so should be out already

Restructuring of the board, Brown leaves with immediate effect, Perry retiring and stepping down

 

[Lush]

Any idea?

On Argus website at 11am apparently. So far "Man exposes himself to teen in alleyway."

 

[LamieRobertson]

zzzz....Brown goes..Perry retiring

 

[Lady Whistledown]

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.

 

[BensGrandad]

Surprised nobody has suggested it is Gus leaving.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Pinocchio pizza party for Perry?

Exactly.

Brown goes and Perry retiring as Albion reveal Board changes From The Argus)

The Perry bit is huge news. This is the man from MacAlpine that held the 1%, the man that made sure we got back to Brighton, fought for us through the enquiries and delivered us a spectacular stadium.

Where Dick Knight and Tony Bloom led, Perry was there, in the background, making it happen.

Very, very large shoes to fill.

It means that Tony Bloom has complete control....

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Blimey, that's massive news.

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

Martin Perry

 

[shaolinpunk]

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

 

[Gazwag]

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

Edit: just read the post above so he will, but it seems a bit strange to announce this as it will be three years or so won't it before that's finished

 

[Lush]

Well I'm interested. Partly because it always worries me when new board members are recruited (whose interests will they have at heart?). Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but Martin Perry is the last senior figure remaining from the Bring Home the Albion days - days that we should never forget in our ambitious quest for greater glories. Very happy to trust Tony Bloom's judgement, but I'm still interested in what he decides.
