Clarification from Paul Barber on Dick Knight Selling his shares

[Tooting Gull]

I'm sure one thing we can all agree on is that highly partial historical accounts from the main actors - which is basically what this is - are far more interesting than pages of fence-sitting.

The Argus have done their job and zoomed in on areas of conflict, as is normal in any such book. And nothing on here will harm DK's book sales.

My personal opinion was that we were very lucky to have DK at the helm at that time, in the same way we are very lucky to have TB at the helm now. Dick couldn't do what Tony is doing now and I don't think Tony could have led the fight for Falmer in the same way that Dick did.

15 pages of knicker twisting boiled down to this.

Or should that be:-

This.

Don't you have to send in a voucher cut from the book with the form which suggest buying his shares is conditional of having bought his book.

There is no voucher.

I have the Kindle version - I presume someone that has the hard copy can confirm this - there is just a form.

I WONDER if Dick Tight MENTIONS what HAPPENED to the £1 MILLION we got from COCA Cola ?

A villa in TORRELMOLINOS ?

There is a voucher on the cover of the hard copy.

 

[Creaky]

Yes he does

Hardly - it was £250,000 not £1,000,000

Is it a 'voucher' or the form?

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Hardly - it was £250,000 not £1,000,000

I'm surprised he had to mention it though - I thought every supporter knew who we brought with it

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Is it a 'voucher' or the form?

The form is at the back, the voucher is a corner of the inside front cover.

No doubt there will be a way for people who have bought the kindle version to buy shares with proof of purchase.

Was he the best chairman we have ever had after that? Possibly in the top five.

Well there's a cover quote for the 2nd print run.

There is. A voucher on the front cover, form at the back.

Form AND the separate voucher...

I went to see DK evening last night at burgess hill.
just for the record at no stage did he come across as being bitter. For sure he said that he would have liked the hand over to TB to have been a bit different. He said he would have liked nothing better than to have been chairman until the ground was completed and on the first game to have walked into the centre circle with TB and given him the keys, so to speak.
idealistic? Maybe a little, Understandable? Yes for sure. TB wanting chairmanship earlier having just thrown a load of cash into the club, understandable? Of course it was.

Sometimes in life everything you would like just isn't possible. DK said that although what happened wasn't as he would have chosen he felt that unless TB's cash had not come in when it did, the stadium would have been delayed a little longer, maybe another two years. His view was that the supporters had waited far too long at that time, so although stepping aside was not what he wanted, it was what he felt right for the club and it's supporters.

What's wrong with that.

I was there too, and absolutely agree he wasn't bitter at all. He made his disappointment clear in talking about the chairmanship episode, but he did it straightforwardly and with some humour.

Cutting the voucher from the dust cover and detaching the form means you no longer have a mint copy.

 

[portlock seagull]

This. But could we also try and get to 30 pages? If it helps, knight was the worst chairman since archer...

Come on, we're nearly there!!!

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Hardly - it was £250,000 not £1,000,000

And there's a photo in the book of Chris Kamara handing the cheque over - with DK commenting that "Mark McGhee can't wait to get his hands on it".

Maybe Ernest is off-target with his accusations?

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Come on, we're nearly there!!!
