LEON DISMISSES BRIGHTON RETURN
Phil Blanche, WM, May 29 2006
LEON KNIGHT took another dig at old club Brighton after Swansea City's failure to win promotion guaranteed him Public Enemy No1 status at the Withdean Stadium next season.
Brighton's recent relegation from the Championship found favour with Knight, who left the South Coast in January after falling out with Seagulls boss Mark McGhee.
And, after branding Brighton's modest home a "shoebox," Knight knows he will have to run the gauntlet of angry home fans at the Withdean next season.
"What all six thousand of them?" replied Knight when asked if he was looking forward to a tough League One reception at Brighton.
"I've had bigger fans than that on my back. I'm not bothered about them, they should be bothered about us because we'll steamroller them.
"They're not in our league when it comes to footballing ability, technical-wise. I've seen they've signed people like Richard Carpenter and Charlie Oatway again - players who are ancient history. We'll go there with fresh players and be too good for them."
Knight believes Swansea are capable of regrouping and making a strong promotion push next season. "We were top of the league at Christmas, so next year we've just got to hold that and maintain a run of winning games," said the 23-year-old Londoner.
"We'll probably have some better players coming in, so I think we've got a great chance. There's a few good clubs coming down so the league should be interesting. But I know we can hold our own because I played against a few of those clubs who came down this season.
"There was always a risk I wouldn't be going back to the Championship when I came here. But I signed a three-year contract and I'm looking to score goals next season and push for promotion again."

Mouldy Boots said:IA good man manager will get the best out of stroppy little Leon.
Maybe we should ask our saviour MM if he would like the fans to boo him for ninety minutes.

LK won't be playing for Brighton on his next Withdean appearance, he'll be trying to defeat us. Which makes him fair game for ' sledging ' in my book. I'd expect any professional sportsman to understand that.
Would you cheer Mushtaq Ahmed for taking an English wicket in a test match, just because he plays for Sussex ?
