Argus having a pop at Dick Knight

This is piss-poor journalism by the Argus. Knight is "probably" ...
Why not ask him, instead of guessing and admitting that you're only guessing?
Naylor's piece on Saturday was just a report of the interview with Gold that Southern Counties Radio secured. This latest piece is a pathetic attempt to keep a story going, when all along, the Argus hasn't had a sniff at either of the individuals that they are featuring in it.
And as for the speculation that Derek Chapman is lining himself to take over as Chairman ... where did that nonsense come from?

And which troublemaker has posted the "I love Dick" comment on the Argus site in the name of "Yorkie Licker, Newhaven"?
The forensics point to someone who is obviously fond of the expression "licker".

That is quite funny and pathetic in equal parts.
Good to see Naylor's got his fingers on the pulse again.

What would be wrong with DC becoming chairman?
Lord Bracknell
On fire
He doesn't want the job.

Said who and when? His business record would make him an obvious candidate if the next chairman came from within the existing directors but with the possible involvement of Adenstar in the building of Falmer there would be a conflict of interest.
I still think that a total outsider is a more likely option.

He did. Last season, during the kerfuffle about the Blooms.

That was then is it still the same now, now that that bit of dust has setlled he may have changed his mind.
Personally I hope not I hope that we will get a large input of money from somewhere and when we move to Falmer we will become a professional club in all aspects, on the field in the administration, ticket sales, catering ground entertainment etc not the pathetic shambles we have had to endure, through no fault of any particular individuals other than LDC for so long at Withdean.

Stupid IDIOT
I ALWAYS have my finger on the PULSE, once Falmer is BUILT no way will the lickers be ALLOWED anywhere near who ever is running the CLUB.

Unless they suck up to the new owner.
I'm interested to know how Vulture and Ernest know about little bobble hat meetings. Are they members themselves?
There is an AGM for the supporter's club which takes place annually and attended by the chairman, chief exec and current manager.
I would presume this would happen with a new chairman.

The easiest way to find out if Derek Chapman wants the chairman's role is to go up to him and ask him. Believe me, he doesn't want to be the Chairman. "I've got enough on my f***ing plate as it is..." etc.
Besides, can you imagine someone as charismatically undiplomatic as Chapman at the head of the club?
Yep - that is dreadful! How many people read that and thought it was actually the truth? Probably most...
As for the other post on the Argus forum - plainly obvious that its someone with a small pea brain who really can't be arsed to have a mind of their own.....pathetic..

Isnt that what the Argus is for though...picking up on a story and running with it.
People forget just how supportive the Argus were over Falmer..they could quite easily have taken the david and Goliath approach and backed the little man against the nasty big bullying football club, but they didnt.
I think this discussion about possible investors/owners etc etc is very interesting to read and hopefully teh Argus reflects peoples views on it, who knows perhaps more than the people on here?

Yes, but not creating the story.
If any new man comes in with serious dosh then it is the end for the bobble hatters. Some of them are beginning to fret already.
All clubs do the ''Community - We want your input - bit when they are on their knees but that evaportes when the club is once again run by a powerful chairman or board.
Oh for the Bamber days. You cannot beat a good dictator.

they are not creating a story, they are speculating what would happen if things were to change.
Isnt that what the Sun, Mirror, telegraph, Observer, independant etc etc do every day on the back pages? is the Argus not allowed to do this then?
