Paul Barber responds on Albion managerial situation

[HawkTheSeagull]

Ooohh, I have become a bit of a casual observer around here lately, but if this has been a day of infighting on here, then I've missed it. I actually think the discussions have all been rather sensible.

Closest your getting to that is people thumbs down-ing you, gives you the ability to bring out the child in you.

(And yes, I fully expect this to be thumbs down-ed, in fact if it isnt, ill be seriously disappointed).

"Contrary to what may have been reported locally...." - 2/5

A good one. Possibly backed with ... "and on social media." - 11/4 the quotecast.

I can't say I'm not a little worried about certain noises emanating from the club right now but I've extremely happy with how it's been communicated and how open the club appear to be in regard to talking directly with fans. It's reassuring.

No it's not. Like last summer someone has had the guts to leak to the press the TRUTH that the club would HAPPILY hide from us and now that that has happened the club has to scramble to limit the damage, probably by LIEING to us some more. Barber and Bloom keep telling us that the budget is fine and increasing whilst 2 managers walk out because they are not happy with it and the player signing process.

Barber isn't actually going to ADDRESS the player signing process here, he isn't going to say he agrees it is a bit iffy and will be looked at he is just going to say how amazing he thinks it is and in an indirect way us to shut up and stop asking questions that are in his eyes none of our business.

Have they all been eating beans?

WILD SPECULATION ALERT!!!!!

I have a STRONG suspiscion that Barber is going to try and take a super injunction out against the fans/NSC to try and stop us discussing and speculating about the mess that is player recruitment, the budgets and manager recruitment.

Pretty sure that's not how a super injunction works..

 

[Questions]

Well I DON'T want another day of infighting

Yes you do.

 

[Questions]

Odds that regardless of the content of Barber's message, the usual suspects will declare it to be 'corporate bullshit'.

Yes 1/4 No 15/2

Will you take £40 on yes then Hansy for me ?

 

[See-Goals]

I'm trying to work and keep an eye on here and the official club site, can someone hurry up please?

No

It's Hans Kraay not Hansie Cronje you're dealing with here

"Paul Barber responds on Albion managerial situation" - yet more lies!

 

[drew]

Presumably the club sheep that have all been saying 'we don't need to know anything' WON'T be reading this statement...

Do you really think that any statement is going to give you and all those clamouring for the minutiae of every detail, conversation, contract clause etc the information you want. Get a life!

 

[Questions]

If any representative of Brighton and Hove Albions upper management structure mention the words moist, artichoke or the advertising slogan 'Mr Kipling does make exceedingly good cakes' I will donate a substantial sum of cotton wool to the REMF.

I can see that point of view. But we don't know that Barber won't address it. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt until we know either way. Personally I'm hoping for a candid response and I think they'll need to tell it how it is to appease many supporters. If we can't financially compete now that our squad has aged, and there's no money to buy players that'll keep us as top six challengers then I'd like to hear that from the horses mouth.

I think our match day thread format will be under thread too, it doesn't comply with the corporate image the club are trying to portray since we moved to the Amex..... too many spelling and grammatical errors.

Nothing crooked about placing a sporting bet ROSM.
Anyway he's not really Hans Kraay is he.
