Jim in the West said:There's no one trying harder than McGhee to keep us in this division. It's about time some of the "McGhee Out" brigade examined their consciences and asked themselves what THEY are doing. It really is tedious in the extreme to read all this crap about sacking McGhee. Let's get real - even if DK wanted to get rid of him, we couldn't afford to, so can the "McGhee Out" lot please channel their emotions into something more positive - like getting along to Withdean and making some bloody noise.

bhaexpress said:It's not Withdean so much as the fact it's too small to generate sufficiant revenue, what's so hard to understand about that ?
Jim in the West said:Don't know what you do, but, let's say you are a foreman on a construction site, and you have to build a new housing development. You've got a year to build (say) 20 houses. But you can only pay your labourers half the going rate, and you can't rent in any scaffolding, etc. You spend most of your spare time travelling around the country looking for blokes who will work for £3 an hour, but funnily enough you can't find them. Your boss knows you're in a an impossible position, so he doesn't sack you - he actually admires the efforts you're going to. He remembers that the last time he gave you such a thankless task you actually succeeded (miracle of miracles), and thinks you could repeat the trick. Unfortunately you have to put up with a load of stick from a bunch of ill-informed by-standers who try to undermine your efforts. Luckily for the success of the construction company, the boss has a long term vision, excellent judgement, and a good record in ignoring the doom-mongers.

Bwian said:I think you are wasting your time with these people. They seem to think that playing at the shithole that is Withdean has no affect on the club at all. It doesn't stop people attending games on a cold, wet February evening, it doesn't limit the club's income stream that is already stretched to the limit by attempting to secure its future.

Let's forget Falmer Dick-there are people on here who want an instant fix so channel all of the club's money into firing McGhee and bringing in Danny Wilson who is struggling in his current job. He can then bring in a few overpriced deadbeats who won't keep us up. Then we'll be well and truly f***ed-no money for next season's players, no money to move the Falmer bid along and no end in sight to the f***ing misery.
It's time some of you took a reality check. We all want a winning side to watch in this division-the reality is that until we get some serious money we are always going to struggle.

Repugnant Toad said:Sadly, hard though your job is, you've only made it harder for yourself. You let all three of your specialist plasterers go in the summer, and have tried to replace them with labourers who are either crap at the job or just out of school, which unsuprisingly doesn't work. You then blow the rest of your budget on a foreign labourer based on a picture his dad sent you of one of his building projects. Unfortunately, it transpires these houses collapsed a week after they were built, and the labourer's actually utter shite. So you give him a year's paid leave, apart from one shift in December, when he does a decent day's work, but doesn't appear again. You then fall out with your best and most successful worker, and let him go to another building site, then spend the rest of the duration of the project engaging in rows with the rest of your workforce. You then wonder why people are saying you've done a crap job.

bhaexpress said:Some people have no idea. Get it straight, we are broke and DK will not jeopardise the club by paying wages and transfer fees that will put us in the mess that the likes of Derby are now in. I doubt that Jesus Christ could keep us up under thouse circumstances.
