Noades - Lovable rogue?

whatever Noads did or didn't do under We££ we were heading for the conferance.no money no hope at least we enjoyed coming to GP for a while

We were not headed for the conference. Micky Adams got Brighton promoted in 2000-01 without spending a penny. I hope you don't have fond memories of the Noades era as I certainly don't.

:sorted: I agree.
How people can suggest that Noades is evil is beyond me, he saved us from oblivion.:rolleyes:
I've got to stop it now, are you for real and how can we be debating whether this madman was good or bad for us?:confused:

We were all conned. Sorry.

That was Brighton. Adams was sh*te when he was with us

Tis true, he made no difference when he took over at GP. I was one of those jumping for joy when Noades took over. Sure he was a dodgy geezer but I thought he had the right combination of business sense and football knowledge that could have worked for us and in his first season the non-league signings and the, by lower division standards, big money signings looked to have worked. Of course we all know better now but for a period there was an air of optimism at GP that maybe it was our turn at last.

Sorry, but no. If i was in Noades position (ie., NOT a Bees fan), i would have done just the same, to whit:
* I am a wealthy property developer
* I see an opportunity to buy a piece of highly desirable land and to hopefully sell it to build a leisure-oriented development, which is how i made my money in the first place
* I have an opportunity to run a football club too, which is something else i enjoy doing
* Things change and do not go as i planned - ie., no quick and easy sale of GP and relocation to a brand-spanking new leisure precinct including my football club, so no quick and easy realising of my investment - so i look to plan B
* Plan B is to sell the available assets and possibly the ground as well, whcih will mean relocating the football club to somewhere possibly less desirable (better keep this one quiet for as long as possible....)
* The fans hate me, but it goes with the territory

And i would put it to you gentlemen, that those excellent folk on our Board and others who have loaned us money in the last 12 months to keep us afloat, probably p1ssed off a fair few people along the raod while they made said money. It is business gentlemen - get over it.

The first and foremost role of a Football Club Chairman should be to be the Custodian of the club

Tis true, there was an air of optimism, white wigs and songs about runny noses.

Then it was a bit like going out with a model who you find is shagging all of your mates.

Noades wasted a fortune, where we are now scrimmping and saving to buy an Elder Noades was handover transfer fee type money to non league clubs so that we could ground share and return from midweek home matches at 1:30 in the morning.

Lionel Road was to small for Noades, the council whoes help we needed where all "left wing loonies".

Can anybody beleive that if we had moved to Woking we would have found our way back to the borough of Hounslow. Without another benifactor there is just no way we as a club would have found the money to build anything like Lionel Road or even to purchase a bit of a park where we could have put down our jumpers for goal posts

Herman, Paul Evans, Owusu, Ingamarrsson .. happy Days :fishing:
 

Noades - Lovable rogue?

If we had gone to Woking we would have gone the same way as Wimbledon and Woking would be a League club now and maybe some bees fans would have got together and started a new club maybe shaing a ground with Feltham or Hampton , Just like the Dons fans did!
Theres no way a club like ours could survive playing so far away from its fan base and we would have had to join forces with Woking!
Apart from that Noads was no worse than the other guys who have been in charge and was a bit unlucky with the TV deal and changes in the Transfer rules!

+ Tony Folan, Gavin Mahon, Martin Rowlands,Stephen Hunt, Darren Powell.....say what you like about the fella, but he had an eye for spotting "real players".....when you think he got most of the above for free and only Herman cost real money and we made over a million profit on him .........could you ever have imagined him signing Mackie, Brown and Thorpe ??

Perhaps somebody would like to ask AS what he he thought of Ronnie Noades as he played for him ..........rather that all the " experts " on here ?
 

Noades - Lovable rogue?

Noades had a bad philosphy that by signing four players there might be the chance that one of them might be a success.

I'm sure everyone enjoyed that Championship season, but little did the majority know he was ****ing us over.
 

Noades - Lovable rogue?

You've only named players that were ok how many did he sign that were rubbish. After we won promotion he did away with the reserves, but still had 40 pro's on the books. There were loads of ex palace juniors who were crap, Kennedy & that little fat ginger bloke to name but 2.

Well I know your not an expert. Paul Evans was a£100,000 Buy So was that french ****er Jarvery or whatever his name was.Partridge never came cheap. Rowlands awas £40,OOO Powell and Mahon were 20 grand buys. Ask yourself what sort of contracts they were on. How many games did Jarvery play. ? Oh there was Owusu another 20 grand Ingamarrson the ****ing list goes on. Noades was offered Lionel rd so rumour has it, he ****ed that up as well. and talking of Mackie, he went in for him as well but could not get him.
We are still paying for that silver headed ****s bad management to this day.
Why do you think walks to Wycombe, Brighton ,Hartlepooland stockport have taken place? Why do you think there's bucket collections at every home game? Why do you think people like Paul Steadman and Pete Johnson fought Noades's moves to Woking and Kingstonian? it's thanks to them and their like that we still have a football club to support. All Noades wanted was to sell GP, and make himself a tidy bundle. By the way it was never Noades's money that was spent but ours. Noades should have been locked up.:nono: :nono:

:rolleyes: You presumably mean the Bosman ruling, which happened three years before Noades bought the club? He tried this lie on us while he was around, but I'm surprised anyone fell for it. His big splurge of cash also took place before the ITV Sport deal came in, so it's collapse is not relevant in assessing his financial management of Brentford FC either.

i hope that description is just an excuse to get debate on a thread going! that is way wide of the mark! or are you worried about being sued if you print what we all think (honestly held opinion and not actually harming someone's reputation defences readily available in that regard!)

i wonder if "lovable rogue" is actually an anagram of cucking funt?

lol

There's going to be a party in TW8 when that happy day arrives. I'm hoping it will be a painful one.

Ed, surely you don't mean that on another human being? I'm suprised at you:confused:
I agree the blokes a James Hunt but......
 

Noades - Lovable rogue?

marky, are you sure Noades is in fact a human being?

you walk into a room with Hitler, Pol Pot, Mussolini, Stalin and Ron Noades, but only 4 bullets in your gun, what do you do?

shoot Noades 4 times, of course :sorted:

Noades - Lovable rogue?

he was/is a to$$ bag. End of. Thread Closed !
 

Noades - Lovable rogue?

Noades only immoral act was he lied, and we all do that now and again...

............... He saw some property and bought it to develop it. He lied to us in terms of his overall intentions, but it was his money, his game and therefore his rules........... .


But surely the whole pointis that IT WAS NOT HIS MONEY. It was BFC money in terms of his borrowing against OUR assets, i.e the land the club own.

He led everyone to believe that it would be his money “funding the club”, but all he did was borrow and push the club in to the mire that we are still “enjoying”.

When Noades bought the club he said it was because it was debt free (not absolutely, but to all intents and purposes). Where was it when he departed? We could all have done the Noades game and stuffed BFC finances into the bargain, but hopefully we would all have had more respect for everyone involved with the club?

Noades = pile of

Noades - Lovable rogue?

He was on my flight today back from Dubai, fcking tart, nearly went up to him and asked him why he did what he did to BFC but didnt want to upset my family.

Best bit was my wife saying that his wife was an old hag who thinks she looks good due to the 20 odd face lifts she has had........she did look bad.
:eek:

Bad enough coming home from 100oF heat every day for a week, lying by the pool relaxing and having a great time then you bump into people you really hate:sad: :sad:

She was repellent ten years ago - I can only imagine she's had half a dozen more facelifts since then. :yuck:
