Apparently, DK doesn't want a yellow carpet

I remember Fozzie drawing a raffle at the supporters club disco whilst I was lying between his legs, What a top man 
Foster got the hump when he was poo-poo'd trying to get Stephen Whatshisface into the club.
He wanted total control and Knight told him to stick it.
I could've dreamt this all up however, though I'm pretty sure it's right - just can't remember for definite if his name was Stephen.

Was he potting the brown, dipping his biscuit ? Or were you hoping for a golden shower??

My guess from that situation was that Fozzie had been promised the manager's job if Purdew got control, hence being pissed off when Knight said the club wasn't a toy for megalomaniacs.
Shame that's made him completely cut ties, but no doubt he's one of those who'll be back when Falmer is built. I remember my mum writing to the club to complain about him swearing in front of the South Stand in the 93/94 season.

Did she write in and complain about just about every member of the crowd having a good swear up too

No, just him. He did it really loudly as we were defending a corner, shattering the innocence of the nursery that was the South Stand forever. She got a nice letter back from Bellotti saying it would be dealt with...

Not sure about the Manager bit, but the rest is the reason for cutting the ties with the club, he told me when I met him at a do, and innocently asked whay he never came to the Albion nowadays.
Very bitter about the way DK refused to entertain Purdews offer. I was quite taken aback by how furious Fossie was when talking about it, used a lot of F C and A words to describe DK and the situation. I have to say, Fossie won't be back anywhere near the club until DK is out of the picture.

I'd heard several overtures about the Purdew for Chairman / Foster for manager bit.Superphil said:
The principle reason, so goes the story, that Knight turned down Purdew was the wanted total control. And this was not that long after Bill Archer had been turfed out. Once bitten and al that...
But most of this does seem to be hearsay.

Foster comes across as spectucularly naive there. All he said was 'back Purdew because he is loaded...' Interesting he didn't try to woo the fans with any statements of intent or give details of any plans.Mr Banana said:
Incidentally, did Purdew ever make good on his threat to invest in Portsmouth or Luton Town?

After only about 2 years from wresting the Albion out of Archer's control you can't really blame DK from acting the way he did can you? There was a genuine fear of having one person like Archer in control of the club and most people - from what I remember - thought DK was quite right.
And as for Foster as manager, what sort of track record has he got?
