Yeah taking us up and keeping us up screams useless!

being ignored by the board financially and losing players why we went down...signing revelll..useless..

:jester:
Bullshit. Revell has been one success this season !!. At least he is an honest player. I am intrigued. Who were the great players we lost last season to cause us to go down !!. Seb Carole, Leon Knight. Big time (or so they thought) Charlies who couldn't give a shit about the club !!

Predictable response, Sir Albion. Presumably you are trying to wind people up or you are genuinely lacking a bit of realism.

Harding and Virgo were key to our cause. We were not quite the same team after Currie left and we also dearly missed Hinshelwood and Oatway.

I assume you call yourself sir albion so you don't forget the name of the team you support as you go so rarely.

Harding wasn't interested, just waiting for big move after under 21s came along and picked him. Virgo was over-rated (1.5 million good business for that lump, how would he have kept us up on his own ?), Currie was okay, drifted in and out of games, and Oatway (well hardly quality was he, just dirty). And I canot see Hinsh playing again, unfortunately for the lad !!

The 9 goals that he scored (more than twice as many as Leon) did help keep us up and the 1.5 million helped saved the club.

That is not really the point. They were all vital to the team that McGhee was shaping. Virgo wasn't worth £1.5m, but he was essential to us. His goals and workrate kept us in the league. Even if Harding wanted a move, he was still of paramount importance to us. He got muscled off the ball a few times, Burnley in particular, and cost us points, but he is the best left back out of Rents and Mayo. Our form declined after Oatway got injured. He was coming into some good form and is the closest we have had to a box-to-box player. Thankfully we now have Bertin, who is much better.

I hope you are wrong about Hinsh, but it doesn't look good. :(

Did these benefactors have control over the planning process? Where else can the stadium go?

Incidentally, other than Foster and his Motley crew, who else wanted to buy us?

BOF sir Albion is a regular poster who has registered under a new name.
His posts are always the same for a wind up and he knows the answers. :lol:

Thats irrelivant at this time as thats 10 years ago,the point is there isn't any person on this site who can state we wouldn't have a club if it wasn't for knight.???

Yes i like winding people up,but im very serious about many things at this club,such as being potless for decades and an amature chairman who hasn't a clue about running a club properly.:D

But hey we all have our views:)

Realism is not an apt word if you believe that numerous benefactors wanted to buy us at Gillingham. Dick was not chosen. His was the only consortium interested.

Thanks Yorkie. I have noticed a constant critical demeanour from Sir Albion. ;)

True, but I was focusing on the part "without Dick we would have a stadium and wouldn't be in millions of £s worth of debt".

I guess you can say that is also difficult to quantify, but noone has come forward with more cash and a site ready and waiting for the Stadium, as far as we know.

Sod it - everything is hypothetical, so I will just bide my time until Falmer gets the correct decision. Off to play football with the same gloves worn by Sir Michel 'G-d' Kuipers.
