1) The point is Dick Knight cannot accept constructive criticism.

2) I am not, I am warning them that they are reaching the stale stage where they cannot accept there may be another way other than their way and if they fail they will tell us its not their fault.

3) Then pay it over installments!

4) I dont feel that but a better attitude is required.

5) Kevin Nugent, he would have helped the youngsters and he can grab a goal.

In short the current Board are closing in on their sell by date and starting to get on my nerves. I am off to bed as there is nothing to challenge me out there tonight!

I thought you said you were going to the pub?

Just a question shabba. Your signature says Keep the faith.
Who are you keeping faith with?

Was Naylor's constructive?

2) I am not, I am warning them that they are reaching the stale stage where they cannot accept there may be another way other than their way and if they fail they will tell us its not their fault.
What is their way?

3) Then pay it over installments!
Financially speaking, it would be better for the club to pay directly in installements (every game) than use a credit card. A spectator buying every game only has to go to 19 matches and they will have paid more than the STH, as opposed to paying 22% to a bank

4) I dont feel that but a better attitude is required.
If you are going to complain about it and feel the attitude is poor, then surely it would be better to say something.

5) Kevin Nugent, he would have helped the youngsters and he can grab a goal.
At last, we agree on something

Backed by a very dodgy health club owner who's business practices aren't far removed from those of Archer ( allegedly ).

You're living in cloud cuckoo land if you believe there are any serious investors out there until Falmer is built. A number of people spout on about there being some dark horse investors but never provide the evidence to prove it. If there were some madman out there why does he not come forward publically and state his intention to take over the club and his business plan ?

It can only be one of two reasons :

1. He doesn't actually exist

2. He's not prepared to be open about his plans - exactly what you're accussing the current board of.

What ever you think of the current board at least try producing some real facts rather than hearsay and rumour !

Or try turning up to Fans Forums to put the questions to the board in person.

How can one sit on the fence and be a YES man?

Yeah, well, they'll no doubt come sniffing around again within 48 hours of Falmer getting the green light. Personally I'd be more inclined to stick with the people who are prepared to invest in the club as it stands NOW.

... who didn't have a pot to piss in and were quite rightly told to come back when they had some serious money. Two million quid just about gets you to the edge of the boardroom door these days - even at a Div 3 club.

It got you thinking!

Struck me as a waste of your own time.

Time is what it's going to take, has taken, and 'this board' are amazing in having stuck in there. The ride, amazingly, has remained interesting enough for BHA to remain as a business, and for that DK should always be accorded more respect than to ever have to answer to people like you who seem to think it's simply about throwing money at the problem.

Or perhaps you would just bribe people out of the way, buy nice big expensive legal teams, and imagine that is the simple answer?

Great! BHAFC need people like you :rolleyes:

1) Why should he? Would you endure 'fans' stabbing you in the back while you are facing a war, with the 'fans' saying they are "on your side and want the same thing"?

2) The WHAT stage? The 'way' is being dictated by beurocracy, and those who can accept a football club in their City, just not anywhere close to them.

3) If the system could be found that worked for everyone all the time, it would probably require a whacking great computer to keep up with every installment, every percentage point of interest, and would cost millions to run. Then people like you would still complain!

4) The club shop must love dealing with the logistics AND having to field all the complaints from people who will complain no matter what (see also point 3). Like this club (of all clubs) needs more people like that!

5) As always, our club does not have the instant buying-power to persuade every player it wants, and afford every player's wages (or outstrip the rest of the squad's wages just to please another Kitson!). Every available player isn't going to automatically come to BHA just because they are available.
Your and my wish-list is pie-in-the-sky, BHA have to make the best out of what they can scout/attract/afford. It's all too easy to say "look at orient they brought in Jarvis and why didn't we do that" because it is hindsight to see players suddenly do well at another club, fit in with their playing style, and score bucketloads - and Zamora's for £150,000 or whatever, are not hanging around every street corner (except perhaps in your magical mystical world).

Unfortunately you are falling in to the same trap as the current board, a complete inability to accept criticism. What I am accusing them of is this; they are not just hiding behind closed doors with secrect negociations, as Bill Archer did, because they will not negociate on anything until they get their money back, which is never going to happen unless we ge Falmer and they knew that before they got in to this, so why are they so shocked, they need to get Flamer or get out, without their money!

Good. I'll see you at the next Fans Forum asking the questions to get all the answers you need.
Why do you think others have blind illogical faith when your's isn't?
