[Albion] Paul Barber signs new six-year extension

[Cheeky Monkey]

A great bit of news to offset the ambiguity flowing from the confused ramblings of RDZ.

Probably the most beautifully constructed sentence I've seen on here since I joined this complete waste of time back in 1997. Absolutely stellar wordsmithery from beginning to end, succinct, slick, flawless, not a wasted word.

Massive profits
New contract for PBOBE
Joao Pedro announced fit
Enciso announced fit
March possibly back before the season finishes

And now we can that someone has managed to fashion a coherent sentence on NSC!!

What a time to be alive!!

Shares in bottle top manufacturing plummeting

Well someone has to draw the short straw.

 

[Mancgull]

Somebody mentioned this on here a few weeks ago, and it raised a bit of debate, but there was no proof offered that Barber actually does have a shareholding. Actually, I think the dullard (or @Bozza?) mentioned that in the most recent shareholders filing there was no indication that he had shares.

So - does he have a shareholding? I honestly don't know but it seems it might be something that crops up in future so a definitive answer would be good to have.

I think he does. Seen it documented previously. Not a big one but still, must be worth a bit.

 

[Official Old Man]

Best signing of the year.

 

[METALMICKY]

He’s the second highest paid CEO in the Premier League.

And your point? We all know the likes of Chelsea would swoop in with a wage increase if they wanted him and he knows that too.

Frankly I think he's worth every penny

I’m not sure I realised CE’s worked on a fixed term contract like players do. Always assumed it was just standard PAYE, I had no idea there was a length of time specified. Seems bizarre to me.

Usually rolling 12 months contracts in my experience - agree it's a bit unusual. Presumably another TB masterstroke in locking PB in, or making sure it'll cost another club a bomb to get him out

A great bit of news to offset the ambiguity flowing from the confused ramblings of fools trying to over-analyse the bored answers RdeZ gives to dumb questions

Corrected for you

Doing a v good job.

We are coming up to the end of the financial tax year - it seems like a really appropriate time to look at our overheads and projections for the 24/25 tax year to budget ahead but also evaluate where we are in terms of profits and what sort of contracts we can afford to renegotiate.

Really, there‘s absolutely nothing to give grounds to this kind of speculation - there won’t be a day that goes by without our top players and staff being linked to some club or other because everyone is interested - ’Weare Brighton’ after all and we are taking the EPL by storm, with our management, with our football and with our financial acuity.

Of course all you say may well be true. But I feel we have been at this junction many a time before, and we end up financial winners, but rebuilding again. I don't fear it, if PB's time is up, I am sure Mr Bloom has his next replacement too!

 

[AlbionBro]

Levy and PB effectively have very similar roles, albeit the former has a substantial shareholding.

Plus Levy I think has a reputation as a control freak …. @Kinky Gerbil might confirm.

Yes maybe, but my Spurs mate seems convinced PB will end up there, he is probably wrong, as he also said Spurs would be mid table if Kane left!

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Barber agrees deal to 2030​

As I just said on another thread......

Shhhhhhh........

Under the radar.

With all that transfer money.

And a buyer's market in the summer.

I just did a sex wee, or what passes for one at my age.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

PBOBE staying is infinitely more important than any manager that comes and goes…….

Or stays.....

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Barber in the hutch. I hope TB now snares RDZ in June after the hint that we’ll be spending big on players in the summer.

Like I said, only succincter

 

[Weststander]

They lucked out with no European ties. I predicted a strong PL season due to that huge advantage.

But I also said the same about Chavski.

i think it says a lot that, given we don’t lay out huge wages for players, when you look at the table for the highest paid CEOs, Barber is well up there (think he’s the second highest paid?). obviously there’s differences between that and player wages as when you pay one player more, others will come asking, and i think the CEO positions at the likes of Newcastle and City are artificially deflated, but i still think it speaks to how much TB values him. fantastic that we’ve managed to tie him down. he gets a lot of flak but we couldn’t do what we’re doing without him

I hope we sign four players for the “Barber shops quartet” headlines

Weird last sentence I’m sure the wheels would continue to turn with another doing the job.

i’d hope that would be the case and i have no doubt tony would have many good candidates should PB choose to move on eventually but i think there’s a reason he’s paid very highly as most other PL CEOs go and that we’ve been very keen to keep him tied down here

Based on his predecessor it’s not a given
