Did you have a moment of temporary blindness and miss this bit then:
Seagulls Chairman Dick Knight has publicly stated that Shipperley is a target and also announced that United have left it to the player to make a decision on his future.
But Warnock hit back by saying: "It's absurd, I don't know why Dick should make a comment, it is not factually true."
The case I think that ROSM is making is that McGhee pursued ambitious targets without (verbal) support from the board. That is obviously untenable, Knight went on record many times supporting bids for the likes of Shipperley and Dichio.

to be entirely accurate that is a quote attributable to warnock concerning a quote by DK - but of course as you say, this was last season when we were still a championship side. You and I both know we are talking about the summer and the dichio fiasco. At the end of the day, MM says who he wanted and the club made approaches. sorry - it looks like the club backed the manager no matter how far fetched his requests. Though I havent seen the DK quotes about Chopra, McPhail and Johnson

that says Knight encouraged them to proceed with squad strengthening. White then refers to Dichio. Tenuous LI, tenuous!

How is a direct quote from Dean White tenuous? Do you want me to find the loads made by Knight at the Fans Forum about Dichio then?

absolute rubbish - that is not what i said and no amount of journalistic gerrymandering of quotes and statements will say that.
speak of facts rather than what you believe has been said.

Funnily enough, there is a great post on here that disproves that theory comprehensively. Made by ROSM I believemunster monch said:I'm sure I either read or saw an interview where Coppell says he was waiting to be asked to stay but the offer never came so he took the Reading job.
Don't ask me to find the evidence though

what did you expect him to say - sorry Mark wants Dichio but I think he's gone a bit gaga? It is a quote from Dean white which follows on from him being told to press ahead and strengthen.
It's a bit like me saying - continue on this thread LI, there's a good chap and you then insulting someone.
That doesn't make me responsible for the insult!

correct - if someone can be bothered to search for it.

How can words from the trouser challenged geezer himself be a theory?
He either said it or I was having another cheese induced erotic dream about him again. I'm factually right or wrong but it wasn't theoretical.

Errr.....right
I'll take that as you DO want more evidence about Knight's seriousness about chasing Dichio. I am genuinely surprised at you questioning this because Knight has given many quotes where he was quite proud in saying he negotiated Dichio's release by Preston and matched his salary. (The only flaw was that the player didn't want to come.)
But as your need more convincing, I'll find the quotes for you.

accepting that knight doesn't actually say go for dichio to white or wilkins (you do accept that dont you?) - perhaps having succesfully negotiated a price and wages (funny for a club who many say have no money) then it isn't rocket science that he woudln't come. But my point is that MM went for people who are out of our league - even if we agree wages and fees. You have done nothing to disprove that. MM names who he wanted and the board go for it. Imagine how chuffed knight must have been to get a fee and wages agreed.

OK, there you go ROSM
http://www.seagulls.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/LatestDetail/0,,10433~855735,00.html
report straight from the Seagulls website, direct quotes from Knight, no mischeivous spin by Andy Naylor possible.....really can't find the quote there by Knight that McGhee has gone gaga
It was a good chase, we agreed 2 out of 3 elements of a deal, got Preston sorted, the wages element was OK, just didn't get Dichio/agent onside. Shame, but I think justification about why it is useful to chase Championship names.

Don't think my five months pregnant girlfriend would be too impressed, but thanks anyway. Paying for sex is more your thing, isn't it? Seem to remember you boasting about that on heredwayne said:Fuckin 'ell London Irish really needs to get laid. Maybe if we all club together we can scrape £50 to get Mcghee to suck him off (that'll be more than his dole money anyway)
