Finance a striker

[Barrel of Fun]

Everyone speculates that he doesn't have "much" money. Does anyone know his worth? I think we woul be surrpised...

BG you always seem to judge him as a pauper. Do you know his worth? Perhaps he is just being astute and not ploughing money into a losing venture, until Falmer is built.

sat, if my memory serves me right because his actual words when I queried if he had the money to carry out his promises was, ' Whose this f.....g idiot'. Little wonder I do not like the man!

GOD I LOVE DICK KNIGHT.

But my abiding thoughts about that meeting were that it wouldn't have been out of place in 1930's London or Berlin.

And they would probably tell him to f*** off...

Well that's as may be but there's a lot of people who wish you'd do the same. At least BG tries to make a case, all you do is abuse. How very constructive.

If DK was to come out and say anything, it would be tell the snipers to belt up.

Exactly, maybe Knight doesn't want to go down the road of handing out reality-check lectures to fans, he just has faith that the supporters will stick behind the club in this latest hour of need, which frankly does not get near the danger of some of the scrapes we've been through in recent times?

At the time of DK taking over the club financial analysts estimated his worth to be about £2m on paper which is both far from being a pauper but also far from having sufficient wealth to finance a football league club. As I have always said he had the wealth to support a good non league side but not a football league one. When saying this one has to taken into account the fact that it is common gossip that more people lose money running a football league team than actually make any. So based on that his money, if that was a correct appraisal of his wealth, wasn't going to last for too long. Perhaps the prolonged legal battles for Falmer are begining to take their toll. I most sincerely hope not because he has ciome a long way and I would like to see him finish his dream before somebody else takes over and moves us up the next rung of the ladder.

To answer northstandnorth, but I do not know why I should demean myself to answer him, his remark I believe was a way of avoiding answering my questions as he didn't know me from Adam. F.....g idiot I may be but he didn't know that at the time. as I certainly wasn't one of those trying to junp on the bandwagon and secure a job or favour with him as no doubt some probably would have been.
