I posted this in another thread but it belongs in here

That Broughton must be well in with Chelsea though to be going there end of season party, Season ticket or no season ticket.Big conflict of interest here in my opinion. He has done feck all since hes been here apart from tell us the club is for sale, and dont forget who brought him in , them two lying ba.stards . Funny how Yossie was never linked to Chelsea and now with there man on the inside him and another few players are also getting it in the ear from him about Chelsea, This fella needs to be fecked off , First Christie and now him , are suits are becoming a fecking joke, different agendas than what we have .

An if he hasnt said it to her , tell him to sue the ar,se off the mail then, and her

A perceived conflict of interest you might say as he has no obligation or responsibility toward Chelsea and has no formal input into the decisions they take i.e. he has no material interest in the club. Attending official Chelsea FC events - attended by players, staff and club officials - a potential platform for information, inadvertantly or otherwise, to be exchanged - does nothing to diminish that perception and you have to ask whether he would have been better to stay away. But, because it is a question of perception and integrity ("Can I trust this man?"), a moral conundrum arises because those perceptions are as likely to be false as they are true, and is it right to expect him to pass up the opportunity to celebrate - in private - his team's successes given that he may well have every intention of discharging his duties as our interim Chairman with the fullest degree of probity? He's a passionate Chelsea fan, he's a highly regarded figurehead in business, he's also LFC chairman; that doesn't mean he is corrupt.

The assumption here of course is that his role as chairman gives him access to sensitive information that - if exchanged with the relevant people whom it appears he might have a degree of access to - could give material benefit to that club i.e. Chelsea FC. Whether it's the lowdown on our wage structure, our exact bargaining position in relation to Torres or Benayoun; whatever it is, it might give an advantage to Chelsea. This isn't just theory either - preventing the exchange of valuable information is one of the reasons football managers are put on gardening leave. You don't want rival clubs knowing which players you're looking at and how much you can afford to pay for them. Equally, though, our financial position is known by all and sundy to be precarious and Chelsea aren't exactly short of a few quid, so how much benefit is there to be gained from the information Broughton may have at his disposal and is it worth him risking his reputation for?

My view: He's here on an ad hoc basis to sell the club, players will not be sold or bought on his say alone - if at all, and any benefit to be gained by exchaging sensitive information with Chelsea would be negligible. Therefore I'm prepared to lay off the guy on this one.

A simple I like the fella would have done.

I hate the owners more than anyone else.........How could they hire such a d1ckhead as our chairman.

Just ask the BA staff what they think of their CEO :no

To even suggest that torres has to move to to fulfill his ambition (move to chelsea ? give me a break). :angry:

by **Boocity** » Wed Jun 02, 2010 8:24 am

He's not the CEO of BA thats Willy Walsh, he is the chairman.

I think all these conspiracy theories are silly, OK so he is a Chelsea supporter, just because he is brought in by Liverpool does he immediately have to renounce his Chelsea support, I mean if anyone here got a job at say Man U, would you renounce Liverpool and all of a sudden be a ManU supporter??

Do you think Steve Morgan no longer supports Liverpool, do you think that if Steve Morgan was invited to a Liverpool celebration party he would refuse, probably not.

The BA strikes are a load of garbage. Work shy gob sh!tes.

We're turning into the French FFS.

BA reduced the number of cabin crew on long-haul flights from 15 to 14 and introduced a two-year pay freeze from 2010, so they go on strike. They're lucky to have a fucking job in this climate.

Pathetic.

Jim,

I’m sorry you think like that but you are entitled to your opinion.

I note your opinion doesn’t seem to be shared by the media.

You may also recall that I am Chairman with the principle remit of finding a new and suitable owner for the club. I am nevertheless Chairman and I’m surprised you don’t seem to think that releasing the manager from his contract is a Board matter.

It just proves one thing Girl ,how completely out of touch with the common fan Today's regime is .... this soulless ghoul is acting as a figurehead for this great club let alone a spokesman ..... Its shameful

We have to show the world this clueless droid doesn't speak for us the fans and show it now .....

Im sure he will enjoy negotiating Torres' exit to Chelsea. :angry:

Broughtons a tory kunt.so he Wont give a fook about the working class

by **Redangel** » Mon Jun 14, 2010 1:25 pm

Things were pretty bad at this club before Broughton came in , but they've got a whole lot worse since he arrived. I'd love to know how much they're paying him for his one day a week. Having said that , perhaps we should be thankful he's only here one day a week , heaven knows what damage he'd do if he was full time !!

by **dawson99** » Mon Jun 14, 2010 1:32 pm

LOL

you people are funny. Because he's a tory he will be a bar steward?

Like he says, he didnt get rid of Rafa, hes just there to sell the club, hes good at selling things, and hopefully hes in touch with RBS, the quicker he sells the club, the bigger his bonus, its that simple.

but you guys would all rather cry and moan and be convinced about conspiracy theories... you lot make me chuckle
