I've been hearing some horrid things about people wanting to get rid of this amazing man. Dick Knight never turned his back on Brighton in his 12 years of supporting and leading the club...So Brighton should never turn its back on him.

This team doesn't need those money men to run it, it needs someone with passion, commitment and drive and that is precisely what Knight is giving to the club.

Couldnt agree more, He has made his mistakes but has never turned his back on us and without him we would not be here
He saved our club and I will always be thankful for that
Some people just enjoy blaming him for EVERYTHING that happens

Don't get me wrong I am behind DK 100%, but nobody is perfect. I am sure he would admit to making a few mistakes along the line (in fact it would be good if he did so publicly). But without a FAN at the helm for the last 10 years we would have done a Luton or worse. :bowdown:

I know the club needs financial backing but the club doesn't needs to be run with the same sort of passion that all us fans have.

i agree 100%

DK has EARNT a place at the Albion for as long as he wants to be here. the man is a f***ing legend and i enjoyed a chat i had with him at Pizza Express in H/Heath a while back. :)

I agree that he should have a place here as long as he wants it, not sure that the place should be as chairman though.

And the same football knowledge as some of them judging by his decision to bring Adams back and then FAFF around replacing him.

Please win the EuroMillions tonight!

Then, with you, we'd have a chairman who would be a top businessman who would never make a mistake, and had a football knowledge second to none.

I've never understood why people completely slate Knight, either for being tight fisted or other reasons. Ok, he screwed up big time a year ago, sacking Wilkins and bringing back Adams, though I feel he has got things right with Slade. He hasn't really made too many other big mistakes. Without Knight in charge, the club would have been dead and buried years ago or playing in the Sussex league.

Who cares that he isn't a foreign moneybags type, I'm rather proud of the fact our record signing was made almost thirty years ago!!

LONG LIVE DICK KNIGHT:albion2::albion2::bowdown::bowdown:

Sorry but a club losing millions each year and with a new ground to pay for clearly DOES need moneymen...

I agree. People who think we could challenge for the championship and ultimately the premiership on a shoestring are living in cloud cuckoo land. Knight has done us proud but maybe now is the time to pass the chalice on to someone with more financial clout and, who is an Albion fan. At the end of the day, I would always expect to see DK give a life presidency of the club for services.


i agree 100%

Pizza express? Was he sacking anyone or was he on his own?

Why are you proud of that? We made our record signing when we were in the top flite of English Football. The fact we haven't matched that for that long is that we have been out of the top flite. Personally, I can't wait to see us play in the premiership again rather than struggling in league 1 but without money behind the club I anticipate a long wait.
