Dick Knight: 10 years on and look at the mess

[dougdeep]

He's an Albion fan and has been for longer than most of us have been alive, he only has the club's best interests at heart.

 

[Screaming J]

Look at the mess the club is in after 10 years of the Knight regime.

Dwindling gates, overt player rancour, millions in debt, divided fans, part-time coach (Chapman), no proper ground (Knight promised Falmer within 5 years!) and a 'squad' of amateurs, schoolboys and clowns.

Can you explain to us all what you would have done to get Falmer within 5 years which DK and the rest of the club haven't tried?

You are a twat sir; a f***ing twat.

William, you are an utter wanker

Blame the NIMBYs, pure and simple.

DK would have had the stadium built YEARS ago were it not for these self-centred snobbish masonic SWINE.

Chops you're a c**t. If it wasn't for Dick Knight you wouldn't have a club to support.

 

[Jim D]

I'm sure he has a club to support with or without DK - it's not BHAFC though.

You sir make aids look like a genius

 

[Caveman]

It isn't a fine position, but he's done a fine job in the circumstances. i.e. I wouldn't have a go at him at all.

The problem is that no players want to come to a team with a sh1t ground and in debt. The Falmer problem has caused us problems big time.

Still it won't be long now. As soon as building work starts, the players will come.

...shit supporters? Withdean is not totally to blame.

 

[Big Jim]

...shit supporters? Withdean is not totally to blame.

Not sure I said Sh1t supporters, just not many of them at the moment as at the Goldstone.

Withdean (or rather the lack of Falmer) is totally to blame, no player in their right mind would want to play in those conditions especially with allsorts of uncertainty about a new ground and big debts. The atmosphere at withdean is sh1t also.

 

[sir albion]

Its all very very true,knight has done f-all really in 10 years accept give us millions in debts

Can't wait to see the back of knight

 

[RexCathedra]

Its all very very true,knight has done f-all really in 10 years accept give us millions in debts

If the club had folded in '96 or '97, none of those debts will have been incurred.

There also wouldn't be a club, unless you want to talk Ryman.

With whom do you replace Knight?

Is there a queue of Russian oil millionaires, dodgy Arab retail magnates, and assorted City stock market spivs and real-estate jockeys lined up waiting for DK to move on so they can pour their money down a rathole?

Please just leave now and don't come back!

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

Are Ernest, William Chops, Sir Albion etc in fact all the same person?

I don't normally fall for questions like "What has Dick Knight done in ten years except give us millions in debt?" but this time I will.

1) A temporary home that's not 70 miles away

2) A permanent home that is home and hosed bar the shouting.

3) Back to back league championships

4) A play-off final victory

5) Micky Adams

6) Bobby Zamora

7) A club shop in central Brighton

8) A quite cool shirt spoonsor; one that's better than NOBO or Sandtex, anyway

9) "Community club of the year award"

10) Tours of Withdean, including the trophy cabinet

11) The Paul Holsgrove deal, surely the best piece of business ever conducted by a football club

12) The battle of Longford

13) Chips available on matchdays

14) A vastly superior matchday programme

15) Gully

Can anyone think of anything else?

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

Oh yes

16) Palace 0 Albion 1
