Would you support a chairman that would invest £20 million in the club in return...

[Icy Gull]

Thank you Ernest us old boys know.

The major disaster was the loss of Keith Wickenden from the football clubs point of view because he kept Bambers feet on the ground. With him as eventual chairman there was no telling how far we could have gone but then I forgot no 1 man can run the club in case they rob us.

I'll ask again..rob what exactly?

 

[BensGrandad]

We have nothing to be robbed of except living the highlife on the clubs expense and then leaving us in debt.

Didnt a director of Gillingham get sent to prison for nicking the gate receipts of one of the gates at Priestfield and not declaring it for tax etc. At the time Brian Moore the ITV commentator was also a director and resigned over the bad publicity that it got.

 

[Ernest]

I wonder why in the late 70's there was no shortage of genuine money people wishing to put their money into the club, one with a run down old ground with a temporary stand and yet now we cannot find one person who wishes to invest ?
If Dick Knight died tomorrow what would happen ?

 

[northstandnorth]

Too many for what we have now and we will never fill it regularly if in Div 1 or even The Championship insufficient for The Premiership.

i've got a really stupid idea

lets build a 75000 seater at the cement works.

oh sorry bg

thats your stupid idea

so stupid you thought you could be minted after it.

Sorry that is a bit of a random reply that I don't really follow. There are many that cite Archer and Stanley as the reason that no one man should ever have complete control, but in those days we had something to be stripped of. I really can't get my head around what any investor can possibly take from the club in it's current state that is going to get them a bigger return than their investment if he/they invest the 20 million pounds that this thread is about.

That is all

 

[northstandnorth]

old fool is still bitter and twisted because dick knight got the club and he failed.
he had this stupid dream of getting RICH on the back of a stadium built at the cement works.funded by a massive retail park and office/entertainment complex IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE serviced by one of the crappiest roads in sussex.

and i am still waiting to hear from his solicitors.

1. There was NEVER any suggestion by any of the people or groups of people that wanted to build at Beeding to build a stadium with a 75,000 capacity all groups had suggested a 20,000 with the facility and ability if needed to enlarge it as required.
2. I wasn't going to make any money out of us building a stadium anywhere.

I would suggest that you crawl back into your hole in the ground.

 

[northstandnorth]

bullshit you posted on here that you would be RICH if your plan had worked.

what is lower in the order of things

a mammal that lives under ground

or a LYING SLUG like you.

still waiting for your frightening solicitors to sue me as you promised(thats on here as well)

 

[BensGrandad]

I would have been but not through building a stadium.

What is the point of sueing you what can you get out of shit but more shit.

 

[northstandnorth]

no you thought you could make it out of the shops/offices/cinema/bowling alley/food outlets/skating rink/ski slope/PIPE DREAMS/etc that you wanted to build on the same site.

how you expected to attract people there shows how stupid you are.

whats the point of sueing me?

none you idiot cos you would loose your OAP retirement flatlet

 

[Albaman]

The most tragic trait of human nature is not to learn from history! So I would say no. Money talks, but all football clubs should be from and a part of the community but the regularors (FIFA, UEFA, FA) are all money grabbing bastards as well! Archer . nearly killed this club, so we should not let anyone else have the same opportunity

Until someone can give me a rational reason as to how or why a new 20 million or at least very large investor, with total control of the Albion in it's current state, would want to kill this club having invested millions I can only put posts like this, and many others on this thead, down to a ridiculous level of paranoia. NOT getting money in and quickly is the most likely way that this club will be killed imo, where will that leave the community club?

 

[northstandnorth]

because he has an agenda to push.he is bitter and twisted that he failed to get control of the albion,archer laughed his bid out of the room,
he has posted on here that he would have made a lot of money on the back of a commercial development/stadium complex.

he hates dick knightbecause knight with the backing of the fans got the albion and he never misses a chance to attack the board of the club i love.

he is poison

he is trying to turn us against dick knight because he holds a unjustified grudge.

 

[northstandnorth]

SUE ME YOU OLD FUCKER

i would love to tear you apart in court

you have hung yourself on here

 

[BensGrandad]

I have no hidden agenda. I do not think that DK was the best thing to happen to this club as I believe others could have done better.

I have , however, moved on as that is all now water under the bridge. It is a great pity that others cannot..

Beacause many people invest with either with debt (ie a loan) or an agenda for real estate (eg Archer and the prosepetcive buyers of WHaM). Once Falmer is approved we could be back to our, "yes", paranoia days. many other clubs e.g Wolves. Leeds etc have pissed away more than £20 million. All investors in football clubs are after money, so dont think it is a cahrity donation! IMO

OK who else at that time in the club's history was willing to take us on? If we had got relegated by Hereford we would not have been allowed in the Conference with a ground share, we woul be history !

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, i would suggest to let the old giffer live in the past with his dreams etc and stop bringing up the past with him, and lets get behind the team that we all love

 

[Ernest]

I'm trying to remember that young lad who was going to invest millions in the club but it all turned out to be bullshit.
I think this was about the time Bellendotti took charge.
Does anyone remember him ?
