Trevor Birch

No, that was John Alexander.

His successor was Darren Eales. He subsequently left to take on the top job at an MLS club.

Darren Eales is President of Atlanta Utd.

The head honcho at Brighton was one of ours as well at some point iirc.

Grand opening, grand closing.

Whelp, now that's stuck in my head.

"Goddamn, your man Hov' cracked the can open again
Who you gon' find doper than him?
With no pen, just draw off inspiration
Soon you gonna see you can't replace him
With cheap imitations for these generations "

Except I think Birch is likely replaceable. Joe Rodon is forever.

Damn. Instrumental in our best ever transfer window, that's a huge loss.

Didn't he only come in basically at the end of it?

That was Paul Barber. Originally at the FA before leaving us to become CEO at Vancouver Whitecaps before moving to Brighton.

We could do with him back as his track record of securing huge sponsorship deals is second to none. The elusive naming rights might get over the line with him back at the club.
