he's a prick. I don't care if its a wind up, I'm not convinced it is anyway. I hope so for his sake, but if that is the case then I do slightly worry about such a complete fucktard being out on the streets to be honest!
Thank you for being polite in correcting me. And thanks to 'Hercules Rockerfeller' and 'Deano's Invisible Pants' for also being reasonable with heir responses.
I didn't remember the announcement of Archer buying the club, so assumed it took place before I started watching the albion in the late 80s. I was young and uninterested in who owned the club, more interested in who played.
For the other responses my post got, I wasn't trying to say Archer was better than Knight. The point I was trying to make, which I know now is based on an error, was that Archer wasn't always the figure of hate. That he oversaw a successful period in the club and still ended up as a figure of hate (rightly so). And that just because Knight "saved the club", does not mean he won't screw up.
My memory screwed up, and my argument is faulty. My apologies.

I'd call that period under Stanley as 'chaotic'.
BISA was formed around then, and the club became 'open' for the first time. We had meetings with the Board, and found them largely ambivalent towards us. I got the feeling Greg Stanley wanted to be open and honest, but I found him little more than ambivalent. Barry Lloyd was openly hostile when challenged and Dennis Sullivan spent the entire time doodling. These meetings were basically fruitless, and with hindsight, largely pointless.
Then Archer was invited on board...
DK may have been the person who told Wendy he was sacked, but it doesn't make him the person who made the decision.

I'd have him face Starship and "We Built this City". On rock and roll - as I am not sure we have the steel.

Mike Bamber vs Dick Knight
If you think Bamber was a saint, then read Alan Mullerys biography, he was certainly shafted by him. Dick Knight saved this club, you name any other person who was prepared to take over from Archer and the massive mess he put this club in ?. Go and talk to Dick and you will find out where his heart and loyalty is. He may have made some errors in judgment, but we still have a club to support. I assume that all you DK critics are perfect saints and have never made any mistakes. Put a sock in it and get a life, be constructive and not destructive

That's funny, I was there less than 12 years ago for a similar event.

Don't know what it is about the expression 'you brain dead mugs' but it genuinely tickles my funnybone every time I read it.....ie every time I make the mistake of reading the Argus webpages, from whence this 'vile free loading bit of scum hater' generated from I believe.
The "no better off under Knight" (than Archer) and "do you ...think...they'll build a ground to play clubs like Crawley" comments were marvellous work, btw.
That is all!

Are there still meetings with the current board or have they died a death as well
What so on the 8th May Dick Knight was not the person that said " I felt that Dean wasn't taking this club forward in the way HE (Dick) wanted and he said to the board about it and they agreed - Doesn't suggest a board apart from Knight that were that bothered with what Dean had done - Dick Knight also said that this club was "moving at a very fast pace" well you got that right Dick just the direction wrong!!
One thing i think everyone needs to think about is IF Dean had so many issues with players as has been said - Why did they offer him the coachs job ?? i would suggest that there no issues just more PR bulls**t from Dick
.....because they thought he was an okay coach, and was better suited to that than day to day man management?
Yet another half-baked assumption to suit your own agenda. Considering you are supposedly 'in-the-know' - you don't half make up some crap.
If you are being sincere, I suggest you should book yourself into the nearest asylum.
If you are trying to be funny, I hear Stan Boardman is looking for a new straight man for a double act.
In any case, you are an absolute tool!
