I think there were many fans like myself were ashamed in the way Steve Gritt had been treated by Dick Knight. And his replacement did not set the world alight did he??

Horton wasnt it?
He didnt do too badly - if minton and thomas had not got injuries may have reached the play offs.

Horton f***ed off in the February of 1999 and if he had stayed we might have done better but instead Jeff Wood nearly got us relegated before Mickey Adams showed up.

We had a worse season in 1997/98 than the previous season although that was understandable. Thank f*** for Doncaster Rovers.
We finished 23rd that season, 17th under Horton/Adams. Then 10th in Adams' first full season.

1. Alive and Kicking raised a few hundred grand, still a good effort, but nowhere near £2million
2. This is where you confuse me, the club was running to a budget, but that budget included an expectation of operating losses that were being met by the directors. What I think DK meant at the time was that the demise of ITV Digital would not cause the club to go into administration, as some scaremongerers had suggested on NSC at the time.
Sadly the club may deny it but they do cherry pick questionsYorkie said:Someone has just proved they've never been to a Fans Forum.

They have no idea what the questioner is going to say when the mike goes under the person's nose.
My mate questioned McGhee about playing Chippy and Hammond together last August and told him that everyone could see it didn't work.
I agree the internet question and answer, is likely to be cherry picked.

At Fans' Forums, I'm always amazed at how many people who have been very critical of the Club on NSC either fail to turn up or turn up and show no interest in saying anything.Kinky Gerbils said:

There was one Fans' Forum at Coral's (2003, I think) when, knowing full well that there was going to be hardly NSCers there (NSCers rarely do turn up), I asked on here what questions they would like asked.Kinky Gerbils said:
I managed to ask just about all of them, and they were all answered.

So you don't have anything you'd ever like to ask the club?kestrel said:

We have to remember why the 'ask the club' forum was set up in the first place. Not as a service to NSC but as a way of nipping in the bud dangerous rumours that can occur at times by answering such sensitive qustions.
I guess at a time when more difficult questions are being asked it's not such an attractive proposition for the club

True, but I meant about kestrel's opposition to the Fans' Forum. He called it 'a licker's love-in'.rool said:

I think thise whole Naylor thing is quite funny really. When he was running the Purdew campaign (sorry reporting on a speculative takeover punt by Health farm magnate Stephen Purdew), he did something similar to this. Ran a few stories weeks in advance, bit of innuendo here. dig there. he then loaded his coup de grace and ran the Purdew story.
Last few weeks, he has been doing the same and has now pulled the trigger. So be it, what he has written, he has written. He's entitled to his opinion, I wish he wouldn't try and dress it up as fact sometimes but there you go. Not going to boycott the Argus over it.
The shock that a chairman may wish to know a team for a forthcoming game. We want to know, the press want to know and so why is it a shock that a chairman might?At least (maybe for legal reasons) he has made it clear that the chairman doesn't try and pick the team.
Ultimately what are our strengths are also our weaknesses. Knight's strengths are attention to detail, being hands on, showing a keen interest and being strong minded and being concerned how money he is responsible for is spent. All the things he is accused of in this article really.
The funniest line is the bit about Adams and how him returning would be a bad thing. Let's be honest Andy, that's not because you want Wilkins to keep his job, it's because when Adams was here he only spoke to you when HE had something he wanted to say.

I admire Knight for what he has done.
But it does come across that every single aspect of the running of the club goes through Mr Knight before anything is done.
And Naylor is right he is in danger for being remembered for all the wrong reasons!
