Please don't shoot the messenger.

I sincerely hope not.

He should be leading us out at Falmer.

 

[Simon Morgan]

tesco?

 

[Don Tmatter]

Part of the agreement that keeps Slade here?

 

[Mendoza]

Seems like a big power struggle between Knight and the Bloom family

Couldn't you have come up with something clever

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Dick should be leading us out at Falmer no matter what his position at the club or his role at that time.

I hope people remember how much we owe this man for a very ling time.

The Knight Stand?

 

[Easy 10]

I can't believe he'd actually LEAVE the club now, not with Falmer being so close.
Perhaps he'll step down as chairman and take up a non-executive role on the board or something, but I'll be stunned if he actually leaves.

After all the stuff posted here about not watching the club if Wise was made manager, I would take a similar view if DK was ousted from the club.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

This news doesn't surprise me at all. I mean, he didn't even come on the pitch with his mic at H/T on Sat (unless I missed it). Who'd have thought?!!

 

[The Grockle]

I would be pretty upset if Knight was not our chairman for the first game at Falmer.

I never understand why people get arsey with this sort of post. You don't believe it? Fine; but don't slate the bloke because he might just be right.

I really hope not. Knight at least deserves to walk out as chairman to falmer. I will be very unhappy if this is true. Unless of course he WANTS to go, then he will go will my thanks.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I heard this today as well.

Seems to be a pretty SOLID rumour.

Effectively he is no longer chairman on a day-to-day basis.

Who will fill the void?

Nah, 'The Dick Stand'

Heard Gary Stevens (probably aided by Barry Lloyd and Ken Brown) will represent Bloom in terms of day to day admin/management should he assume control - and DK decide to take a back seat.

DK and Martin Perry should both get life president roles, great servants to the club.

True although we've seen SO many entirely ill-founded gripes on here about DK on just about everything over the years that it's not surprising that stuff that may turn out to have substance to it gets dismissed too. It's the only real downside to those crying-wolf twats who never post anything remotely positive about the club on here - Buzzer of course is entirely nothing like that.

Of course, the net effect of a thread like this is likely to be a whole load of people showing their fondness for DK's remaining as chairman and sending out a message to those who really might have some power to undermine him. So it's all good.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Gary Stevens was in the hospitality area again on Sat and seems to be a permanent fixture, so that seems plausible. I think Tony Bloom should join the board as he seems to be pumping a lot of money in and should have an official say. I am sure if this rumour is true, Dick would stay on as 'Life President' or something like that.

Knight, Bloom and Slade were all in the meeting together yesterday, so Slade must know something, otherwise if he knew there was a board room split, he could have said no to the job, knowing that he could lose it if new people came in.
