Just back from Dick Knight’s book signing in Worthing. Around fifty of us in the Fraser Bar of the Connaught with Dick & Paul Samrah at the head table and Des Lynam in the audience. Lasted for about an hour with Paul suggesting topics for Dick to chat about, ranging from when Liam Brady asked him to form the consortium which finally did for the dastardly Archer & Bellotti. Some interesting stories about, Dean Hammond, Robbie Savage, loan players and the January transfer window (which he doesn’t agree with). Ended with a question and answer session, in which time he explained how he’s resigned from AITC because of financial cut backs and also about the club not selling the book because they wanted to read it first, which I would have thought was a reasonable request considering the issues regarding Poyet’s dismissal. I’ve always liked Dick Knight especially as he was instrumental in saving the Albion, but I also have loyalties to Tony Bloom without whom there probably wouldn’t be an Amex Stadium. Shame they seem to have fallen out over opposing views of how to run a modern day football club.
