I won`t slate you.Mr Popkins said:right I know im gonna get slated for this big time , but there are so many club arse lickers on this site its untrue!!!
everyone I spoke to last night all said they would not put a penny more into the club, these are die hard albion fans!
so many people are so blinkered to martin perry and dick knights way of thinking.
on Hartys phone in last night Martin perry DID NOT give a straight answer on the hotel bill for reading, when asked if the players were asked to play for there bills he said no, but when Harty said ,did they contribute if they wanted to he said some players did, now dont tell me they players coughed up out of the goodness of their heart, they were asked!! what a politicians anwser he gave.
this club is is debt granted but ,its hardly in a state where we have 7 days or we will go bust!!
if the club seriously are strapped for cash the they must put All our players on the transfer list, not ask fans for money.
I await the slating!!

We're all entitled to our opinions. I respect yours, and I hope that you respect mine.
I believe that the club is fairly well run on a day to day basis. What is crippling us is the costs incurred try to take us forward to Falmer. The directors have invested millions into the club, and may/may not ever get some/all of it back. I don't know if they will, nor does anyone else.
If the club were to say, "f*** it, lets stay at Withdean and make that a permanant home, forget about the pipe-dream of Falmer", what type of players/managers do you think we would atttract? Once that happens, the playing standard deteriorates, we drop down the leagues and then the attendances drop.
If you want to take the risk, that's your choice. If you can't afford to donate, that's not a problem. Some of us are more fortunate than others, and I don't have a problem with donating to help.
As for the players wages; they're not fans, they are doing a job and want paying for it. Their career is fairly short, and need to maximise their earnings during this time. To pick on them for earning a few grand a week is unfair.
If you can't agree with us for donating, there is no need to accuse us of being arse-lickers for doing what we think is important to help the club. It's not like any other business and we can go elsewhere. I don't want a different brand, I love the one I've got thanks.
Mr Popkins said:I hate that arguement everyone uses about the players short careers, yes it maybe short but but when they retire how many do you know are unemployed?, they still get a new job on the same if not more money than im on!!!
spot on agree totally i wanna do all i can cos this club means that much to me and most others on here.larus said:Mr P.

bhafc99 said:Let's turn this question round. Why are all the people who criticise Knight, Perry and everything about the club uniformly ill-informed, thick, simplistic, unaware of the issues and capable only of criticism not constuctive contributions?
Uncle Buck said:Slightly sweeping and completly untrue. I am happy to admitt I question certain things, but if supporters had not questioned what was going on in 1995 then there would be no club now.
A bit of scrutiny makes the club more accountable.
ChapmansThe Saviour said:Over the last few years, BETWEEN them, they have put up to 9 million into the club. Perry said this over the loud speakers to thousands last night in a very frank messsage at half time.
I'm fed up with people complaining about things without finding out the facts that the baord is trying to tell them.

disgruntled h blocker said:It was apparent on the phone-in and Perry's half-time monologue was that the directors want their money back - and this £2m campaign is clealy a method of getting some of their money back.
CrabtreeBHA said:Mr Popkins does'nt deserve the personal attackes he's getting on here, he has an opinion and is entitled to express that opinion in anyway he sees fit. If you can only come back with personal attacks rather than informed replys to further the discussion then you are just taking the easy route and doing yourself no favours at all.
The Large One said:The directors are not allowed to take their money out, and they will certainly NOT benefit from these donations.
