Knight has done so much good for this club but he has also made mistakes, and while I still think he is the man for the job and I'll back him 100% I am privately worried that he will not deliver.
It was clear he should have appointed Coppell instead of Hinshelwood, he should also have given the job to Dowie instead of McGhee, 5 years on and no extra 2,000 seats at Withdean, Falmer is 50/50 at best and, by his own admission, there is no Plan B.
I get the impression the club are under-staffed and struggling with all off-field issues, like the technicalities of the planning application, the season tickets, the redesign of the kit, website etc.
If the club are to move forward he needs help.
Fair points but there still remains the question - help from who?
As for Hinshelwood - maybe he was concerned at the adverse reaction Coppell would get being Ex Palace. Dowie was always a non starter due to Knight's ethics - you can't really knock a man for that.
I think the Ticket Office have improved immeasurably so that point is a bit unfair. I can't defend the kit situation - I still haven't got one. The Falmer situation is caused by geography - like it or not it is the best site available South of the bypass and in the Brighton & Hove conurbation. It is not Knight's fault there are no brownfield sites.
