Club statement says this is partly in recognition of the fact PB has turned down opportunities to join "bigger clubs".
Now, it doesn't say 'Massive clubs' does it?
More likely to be Leeds then.

I have no business knowledge, and I know you are much better qualified to answer this, but is it possible bloom be gifting him a share of the club with this promotion?
Otherwise it’s surely just a new title, with a pay rise, we’ve coped all this time without a vice chairman, why do we need one now.

I suspect Tony will pass on some of his day to day responsibilities.
Dupe - apologies
Well, Tony could gift some of his shares in the club to anyone at any time*. PB doesn't need a title change to receive shares from Tony...
* subject to some minor legal stuff, and probably pre-emption rights not being enforced by other shareholders.
Given TB spends half the year in Australia he probably wants to formerly appoint a deputy so reporting lines are clear when he isn’t around (and to clarify who ISN’T his deputy)
Now you’ve said that, it makes sense, he’s got 2 clubs to run now.
I'm not sure anyone at the club needed this to tell them who is in charge!
I’m talking about the Board, not the executives
Ps - note this is deputy chairman, not vice chairman

I suspect the bit in brackets is part of the reason Tim. With the new guy coming in there was always a potential clash, which TB will have nipped in the bud before it starts.
I have no idea if TB goes to all Board meetings these days or attends by conference calls when he's out of the country but this would also make it clear who chairs those meeting when TB isn't available, or can't be arsed to attend.
Plus it stops any other club or organisation poaching Barber.
So all in all a shrewd move by TB I would say. Cunning little bugger isn't he, our Chairman.

Exactly the way I see it

Does that make you and me cunning little buggers as well then?
Yeah, that or we’re both completely wrong!
Thoroughly deserved and he works his socks off for the club. Having had some meetings with people from other clubs, whenever I tell them I'm an Albion fan there is universal appreciation of just how well regarded he is from others in the industry, and it's fairly common knowledge he was on the short list from for the CEO role from a much larger club in the North West.
He gives a talk to our students every year, in his own time, and it is always one that gets some of the best feedback.
It is possible to disagree with some of his decisions and think he does a great job for TB and the club as a whole. Some of the unpleasantness and hysteria from the comments he gets both on here and sent to the club are way out of proportion.
