If I was Dean Wilkins I wouldn't be planning on being manager much more as anyone knows as soon as Dickhead Knight comes under fire he sacks the manager.

Journalists are rarely totally objective. To be honest I dont expect them to be. If you want to get an objective view read a few articles on a subject from different perspectives....then form your own view.
What Naylor has written needs to be said.

What I'm astonished at here is not so much the content - I agree with bits and disagree with others, and I can take or leave it - it's the tone of the article.
The fella is supposed to be mildly impartial, although on a local newspaper that's always going to be difficult. It's just that, for me, that article has come across as a big childish rant, using nuances, innuendo and tabloid phrases to hint at getting across what many feel is his real agenda - the disgust he feels at McGhee's dismissal. By all means, ask questions of the club, we all need to do it, but I don't see that he has here. He has merely attacked the board and the players - although Dick mainly. Is that constructive? Or is he merely trying to score some points?
The piece is purely subjective - he is offering opinions, albeit quite barbed. It's interesting he offers no direct quotes from any of the protagonists. It would be interesting to see if (a) Dean Wilkins and/or Dick Knight are offered a right of reply, (b) whether they take it, and (c) what that reply might be.

Was he not at Brentford?
no one at the club trusts or wants to talk to Naylor. He has to write something so he either writes his own thoughts or makes it up. He's probably fed up at being fed: we are close to signing X, Y and Z year after year. He needs to keep his job so must fill the back page with Albion stuff. He's a senior journalist and doesn't want to be reporting from Div 4 grounds next season.

It's because Naylor doesnt aid the board's propaganda.

What propaganda?
Do people really think that there's a conspiracy around the Albion? That DK deliberately keeps the Albion running at a loss? That he is running us into the ground in the same way that Bellotti and Archer did?
We are a small club with very little money in the lower leagues without a home. You try bringing in top talent to play for us.

1) cap in hand to the supporters claiming two million to survive, then sell players worth a total greater than 2 million but still claim we are skint.
2) at the time of ITV Digital collapse club claim they are running to a strict budget, and on an even keel. Shortly after this club claim they are running at a huge loss.
The club seem to choose statements to suit their propaganda needs.

1) It's not mutually exclusive. I need around £1500 to survive each month to pay all my bills. Fortunately I earn more but if I earned just £1600 then I'd still be skint. It's even worse for the Albion because we are running Withdean at a loss.
2) If the losses are covered by director's loans (as they are) then you can run to a budget and even keel if it's budgeted to make a loss of £x millions per year and you DO make those losses.
Doesn't sound like propaganda to me.
