The old git eluded to this, off air, when he came on the phone- in in February.

And at least we won't have to endure the sight of Dean White shouting into his mobile phone and the endless three man conferences when its time to bring a sub on.

Will Dick Knight insist that Dean White stay on as Mickeys number 2 because of the great success we have had whilst he has held that position and because he is so loved by the Brighton fans.

On the same day another member of the 'Inner Wheel' was stating that he had been told the Manager had lost the dressing room, perhaps the die was cast then.

I always thought that you'd be privvy to most of the behind the scenes shenaningans, are you saying you aren't? :ohmy:

It's very interesting that - because afterwards, and towards the end of the season, the team had arguably it's best spell of Wilkins short tenure.

In London village.
Well Nostradamus certainly beats last week's comparison - "Boris Johnson from Behind".
:eek:

I've never knew Ed was an Old Etonian.

Coinciding with the three weeks that Wilkins was hardly at the club?

Or the sight of that bloody magnet board.

You hear mumblings and whispers all the time, but this was an example of the Chairman clearly saying more than he should to a number of well known supporters after a Falmer meeting.

On that particular day I could have gone on after 5 and said "tell the listeners what you just told me Ed", but that would have dropped him in it and put a huge wedge between Messrs Knight and Wilkins.

Then again would it have go Micky Adams, then out of work, back here earlier enough to get us a shot at the play-offs?

We couldn't have done much more to be fair, dont think Adams would have made much difference at all to be honest.

Don, even nearly two years on the jury was still out, there was aspects of his management style I liked and some I didn't, but the sight of Dean White shouting down the phone trying to make himself heard at a noisy football stadium made us to my mind look like Rag Arse Rovers.

Yes, but he was ordering pizza at the time
