Deputy Chairman too. This is the kicker and probably keeps him at the Albion when we’re swimming in the shark-infested waters of global-elite sport.

I worked alongside him at Abbey National‘s UK headquarters way back in the early 90s, he was in Marketing then, 30+ years ago.

From a chance meeting with him in Dick's Bar and him taking the time to speak to our daughter and granddaughter - both huge fans (when he could have said 'Sorry, got a meeting to go to.') PBOBE seems like a really decent bloke who cares about the club and fans. Hope we can keep him. TBMBE & PBOBE 'The Dynamic Duo'!

Last time I emailed him he replied what appeared to be in person.

I thought the criticism was a joke? If it is genuine then PBOBE OUT

I know someone who describes themself as an entrepeneur. What they actually mean is unemployed.

In what’s nearly now forty years of going to football I’ve never had a need to contact the club about anything bar buying a ticket.
Are fans emailing Barber because he’s made himself accessible? I’m wondering what folk did before they had an email option as calling the seagull line wouldn’t have got you very far
I guess it’s a good thing contact is accessible what I don’t get is why 99% of people would need to?

If the email was over 50000 words, definitely him. Under 50000 probs not.

I have no doubt a lot of it is tongue in cheek, it’s the ones that aren’t I was referring to.

Honestly if there are people genuinely complaining then they can take a long walk off a short pier.
Is that a typo or is the "peneur" a play on penury?

I agree with your sentiment. In our first season in the Premier League I was waiting for our train at Euston for the trip to Anfield. The last game of the season and we were playing Liverpool. A Brighton fan came and sat next to me, we started chatting about all things Albion. On my part I enthused about how well we’d done in comfortably avoiding relegation bearing in mind this was our maiden season.
His response was baffling to say the least. At no point did he compliment the club. Everything, in his view, was wrong - Bloom should have spent more money, recruitment was wrong, tactics were awful and so on. Yet here he was, prepared to go on a long journey to Liverpool to ‘support’ his team.
It was at this point I walked away. I couldn’t bear to be with that ungrateful tosser for a second more.
