For those of us of a certain age this news will come as a horrifyingly bit of bad news , PB is doing his job to a degree of sanitisation that would get his face on a bottle of Dettol .

Those of us old enough to remember what I recall as the good old bad days probaby find the sanitisation of football hard to understand.

But here's the thing , Brighton and Hove Albion are not thinking about the likes of us , and rightly so, the club is still trying to woo back the lost generations of Brighton fans and considering we sell out every game PB and Co have got it spot on .

On a matchday one of the things I love about our club is the amount of youngsters sporting their colours as a badge of honour.

So whilst the cringeworthy rules keep totting up it doesn't seem to have stopped people wanting to come to football and season ticket renewals and sales are going well for what is still a uncertain season coming up .

Like him or loathe him nobody can say he's doing a bad job , so I raise my flask to you Mr B for a job well done and long may you continue to promote The good name of Brighton and Hove Albion.

Actually Harty had the scoop on this in his Latest TV interview pilot with Barber that he shared on here a few weeks ago.

"i've just agreed a new contract with the chairman that will keep me here for a few more years ...and i'm enjoying it"

He has done nothing I wouldn't expect from an employee on £50K+ per week.

Surprised there are still fans who are only prepared to give a grudging 'he's doing an OK job'............must be the former flask-bearers I guess. Quite possibly the best CEO in the business IMO (if not who'd you swap him for ??) and if as shrewd a businessman as TB thinks he's the right man for the job I ain't going to argue. As well as the day to day management of the club, his performance throughout the pandemic has been outstanding.

I believe that Mr Barber is also on the excellent Albion Roar tomorrow. I’m hoping that he’ll be roaring out his disapproval for the ESL rather loudly!

 

[The Andy Naylor Fan Club]

What a result. He's mustard.

 

[vagabond]

Deserved.

Good man, fearless, happy to have him fighting our corner in the PL.

 

[amexer]

What does he do with the little time he has in between appearing on radio and writing emails

Here follows a bit of constructive criticism to the [MENTION=21711]Albionroar[/MENTION] team, which I hope you take on board in the spirit in which it is intended and don't get all arsey about:

Please don't interrupt your guests so much. When you get someone like Paul Barber on the show, we all really want to listen to what he has to say and not some personal thoughts and loosely related anecdotes of the presenters.

Cheers.

Tongue in cheek I’m sure but I think Barber acts with a lot more integrity and transparency than most other chief executives. Sure he gets paid a lot, but he’s one of the key running cogs of the club, we have players on 100k per week and I’m sure Barber works a lot harder than them.

 

[Weststander]

Ridiculous, are we ever going to be free of this man?

Next thing you know, they'll tie in Potter for 6 years.

 

[scoobiewhite]

I’ve met MrB a few times through work and found him nothing less than entirely impressive.

Sharp as a tack, he also clearly suffers from the affliction of having compassion and empathy.

Ultimately he seems incredibly driven though.

What else could you want really?

Top bloke IMO

YES! I do love what Ady and Alan have to say, and genuinely find them both enjoyable to listen too. But Alan, please - you're on it week-in week-out, let your guests have a few minutes uninterrupted because you have some superb people on the show.

Football administration requires talent, talent needs to be compelled with a competitive remuneration package and a real ability to make change. Bar the bottle cap/flask ban, I really cannot fault PB at all and he comes across as someone who genuinely wants the club and community to thrive. The latter part to me is really important, the club is critical to some people across Sussex and he appears to be genuinely interested in their welfare.
