Ken Brown leaves, Martin Perry retiring in July '14

[Westdene Seagull]

A bar is and never has been enough. Dick Knight is a once-in-a-lifetime figure at the Albion. I can't imagine how there will ever be anyone as important again. The very least there should be is a statue, and I certainly wouldn't object to a Bloom one alongside him (although I guess this can't happen while he is our chairman, unless he develops a huge ego). I've even identified the spot. It should be at the top of the path from the station just before you arrive at the club shop. Make it happen!

I agree. And to add to that the stands should be named to honour those who worked tirelessly to get us our new home ( and financed it ) :

North Stand = The Knight Stand
West Stand = The Bloom Stand
East Stand = The Perry Stand
South Stand = The Fans United Stand

Maybe we'll soon be watching 'The Apprentice' starring Tony Bloom.

"steward 433 ...you're FIRED"

 

[CP 0 3 BHA]

I knew that.

And just to avoid confusion, and to put the record straight, I was purely posting my plans for this evening.

A bit Trigaaar happy in every sense of the word!

Martin Perry you're a star.

Nobody has commented on the fact that Derek Chapman is stepping up to the role of interim Chief Honcho (to fill the Ken Brown role).

Derek is a real fan and one of us. And this is good news, even if it is only a stop-gap measure. To be honest, I have been slightly concerned over the past couple of years to be seeing new members of the board being appointed from what appears to be a pool of "mates of Tony Bloom" - who, possibly, don't have much of a background in football (or Albion supporting). But, if Derek Chapman is now at the centre of the inner circle, I'm reassured.

And a PS ... A million thanks to Martin, for what he's achieved and how he did it. And how he will continue to do it until 2014.

 

[Washie]

I think two statues should be at the station approach, Eather side just as you approach the stadium have a statue of martin perry and dick knight, so Liverpool have the gates, we have the statues lol

 

[Basil Fawlty]

I think now that Martin Perry has retired. He can throughly now keep his mind set on building us a state of the art Training Ground and the expansion of the Amex. Then leave with his head held high after these two have been done. LEGEND.

Very much this.

Message from Ken...

"The Albion are a special club with special fans. I hope you all get to the Premiership soon."

Thanks Ken. It's been the 'Premier League' for several years. A man with his finger on the pulse ....

A decent sort indeed, always patient and professional in my experience.

Martin Perry can retire knowing that few people in the history of the Albion have contributed as much to the club as he has.

 

[Triggaaar]

Martin Perry should have his own giant legends poster on the wall behind the West Stand.

Take down Leon Knights.

Definitely

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

I think Garnier's wages could be the stumbling block. I wonder what Mr Leschly is up to these days?

6-2, 6-1, 7-5.

 

[The Large One]

What I'm struggling with is the antagonism towards Ken Brown. Does anyone KNOW that he was no good?

Or are they, because of his relative anonymity, just filling in the blanks because they haven't been told otherwise?

 

[Lincoln Imp]

I'd just really love it if we used the British term 'Chief Executive', which is how Martin has always been defined, rather than 'CEO', which is as American as soccer.

THIS

We owe him, BIG time.

Is this a 'Never in the field of footy conflict...' I feel coming up? A statue epitaph?

 

[Bold Seagull]

Blimey slated for ''zzzzz'' to put record straight this was me going bak to sleep...been up all night with a stomach bug.

I was not slating Argus...dont think i have ever.
Perry i recognise the huge amount of work he has put into the Amex and the ongoing work
Brown ..don't really know so much about him...but hey.

Hope this puts record straight

Soz chaps....now its zzzz (bak to sofa)

Ha ha, this has to be one of the lamest posts Lamie, I've read since joining NSC. You're actually saying that you typed zzzzz to let everyone know you're drifting off to sleep with no reference at all to the thread you're posting on...
