With that sort of ambition then we will always be a bottom 2 division side. I'd gladly take QPRs billionairre setup over the shit we are getting now every day of the week.
Dick served the goods when we were in dire straits but if we are ever going to the next level he aint our man, and some of the decisions in the last 3 years have been nothing short of attrocious.

Care to post your letter on here?
At last a constructive comment, these problems are not new, how many "fans" would turn out for a good draw in the cup, maybe if the good weather supportes came out and supported the club we would be doing better but how easy it is just to blame the manager, remeber the blame stops at the top and that is DK, am I the only one that thinks that players are selected from above Adams, nobody will convince me that Booker & White are MA first choice, this was a condition of him coming back. DK will not change things because the fans say so as he is a stubborn businessman so we should just get on with it and encourage the team ourselves
Spot on as usual Daniel. Tired of the horseshit now, personally.
are you liz costas love child ffs are you another one of this club arse lickers than would rather have Uncle Dick and co in charge and stay in this league or do a hull and get into the premiership.This club has become a little gentlemans club

Quite agree the club has the feeling of being a little club for uncle Dick and all his little cronies who like to crow along with him thus making themselves feel important.
Unbelievable!
This comment is rubbish he did not get lucky with zamora he obviosly saw potential that nobody else saw in him at the time as in Bristol Rovers reserves. During that time he sighned quality players for us as
1) Kuipers
2) Pual Watson briliant in the season we were promoted TWICE
3) Danny cullip
4) Richard carpenter
5) Lee steele who was a had a bloody good partnership with zamora
6) Pual rodgers who who was wigan captain the season before
7 )Simon morgan who i dont know if you remember was exceptional for us
Im sorry mate the list goes on he was not lucky at all he sighned a new squad then and he will have to do it again as the squad has like last time got too much deed wood in it.

Yes, he needs to build a new squad and get rid of the 'dead wood', which is why he re-signed Mayo and Hart.

Yeah a bit like Elder, Martot, Dixion, Mcfaul,

But realistically who is going to buy us?
We have ABSOLUTELY NO assets that would be of any interest to investors. They would have to prop us up at Withdean for another 2 seasons at least and then at Falmer when we don't get 15,000 every week or whatever the break even figure is.
Willing to risk Dick walking out and leaving us in the lurch?
I'm not.

My problem is that the club is run very unprofesionaly. Dick reminds me a bit of Doug Ellis in that his medling in first team is holding the club back on the pitch and off it to a degree (not willing to pay the going rate for players in wages etc).
I have nothing much against the guy and was the saviour of the club for which he will allways be honoured and respected for but that does not mean I agree with everything he does and everybody has a shelf life. Lets face it he's now an old man which I doubt makes him very easy to work with.

Please tell us what is going on behind the scenes at the club. I'd love to know because you obviously know a whole lot more than I do.
Is he meddling in on-the-pitch issues?
Did he refuse to pay the 'going rate'?
If he did refuse, why was it?
Did the club have the money to pay the 'going rate' in any case?
Do you know what the 'going rate' was?
Why is he not easy to work with?
In what areas is the club run 'unprofessionally'?
Given that you know you are right in what you say, how would you solve these problems?

It seems from this and numerous other threads that NSC has plenty of members who know exactly how to run a football club business.
All we have to do now is find the one who has many millions to put into the club but is prepared for the prospect of little or no return on those millions.
Simple really.

As was said by many on here when Wilkins was sacked, DK took a massive risk in bringing back Adams.
To get rid of your manager (who is playing mainly home grown players) when you have finished 7th in the league puts huge pressure on the incoming manager, as anything less than a play off finish has to be seen as a backward step.
Personally I don't want Adams to be sacked yet - it's far too early IMO, (and could we really afford to pay him off?) however he has made some pretty big errors since coming back, (Keeping White, bringing back Booker, retaining Hart / Mayo / bringing Hawkins in at the expense of Lynch, bringing in Savage etc....) and he must start to get some decent home league results quickly or by Christmas there will be the 4000 STH at Withdean and no one else.

But your opinions came over as facts, that's why I asked if you knew something others don't.
If a chairman being involved in transfer and contract negotiations is 'meddling' then that's what most chairmen or, in the case of some clubs, chief executives acting for the board, do. Neither Ferguson nor Scolari get involved in the financial side of players' transfers and contracts - David Gill and Peter Kenyon do it.
As for everything else I mentioned, you have simply guessed at everything in order to be able to criticise DK.
It would appear to me that you nothing of what goes on behind the scenes, nor any of the salary negotiations, or the 'going rates' for anything. In that case, your criticisms are baseless. You are of, course, entitled to your opinions but, without any facts to back them up, they lack any credibility.
You may be right in everything you say but you can't come up with any facts to back it up. You don't KNOW that you are, you just want to be.
