looks like the wheels have fallen off at Whitehawk FC

[Neil]

Only could muster 290 supporters at home against Eastbourne the other week with the away following outnumbering the home support
haven't won at home for ages
Sacked the dwarf manager
lose 6-0 yesterday
in the relegation dogfight
Wheels have definately fallen off

Exactly the same happened at Lewes.....which coincidently coincided with the sacking of Steve King.

... which was provoked by the owner (Martin Elliott) buying a pocket calculator and working out how much money Steve King had cost him and how unsustainable the "project" had become.

Is it time for Kevin Keehan to step up to the plate?

Totally agree but you can't argue with his "on the pitch" record....and now look at Lewes.

If most managers were spending somebody else's virtually unlimited money on the never never, chances are they would have an on the pitch record as good as King. Its not hard to buy success at that level.

And beaten by the mighty Worthing in the Sussex senior semi on penalties. My Worthing supporting mates was told by a cocky Hawks fan on the way out...."well it was your cup final weren't it"
There were several retorts.

It of course would still be onwards and upwards if they had changed their name to Brighton City

Tbh their recent behaviour merits the comment "couldn't happen to a nicer club (not)"

 

[hopkins]

Jeez. Wasn't long ago there was a lot of support for whitehawk on here ! There loyal fans will stay and they will carry on as usual.

Think this is the same scenario for nearly all clubs outside the Premier League.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Is this a blip or a start of a fall down the leagues ?

 

[spring hall convert]

Were the wheels ever on?

 

[Rogero]

Can anyone enlighten me about Steve King ? Is he anther Rednapp?

 

[Craven Wine]

Oddly enough there's talk of a supporters trust being set up which has echoes of Lewes, all well and good but there's not the same fanbase which doesn't bode well!
I certainly have enjoyed the repartee of their 'Ultras' but I suspect Bognor will be will be part of fixtures again if management keep up the current effing about!
Oh the joys of footie!

They used to rely on brighton fans attending when we was away and after what John summers said about us loads have stopped going and I know the other owners and they are pulling the plug at the end of the season as they disagreed with the name change and the press release, slating brighton

Absolutely right. The money that man had to spend was incredible.

So many stories that I could tell about Steven King. A man with an ego even bigger than Gus Poyet's.

It most certainly is.
