Isn't it sad when one person keeps bouncing their own thread.

Eh ? What's accepting criticism or not as the case may be got do with the fact that you appeared to support someone taking over the club who has the same business morals as Archer ?
The current board may not be perfect and I'd be happy to see some serious money people come on board but NOT Steve Foster and his bent partner.
You appear to be leveling the same accusations yet again but with no proof. I'll do you a deal - I'll happily buy you pint if you come to the next fans forum and ask the questions directly to Dick Knight & co ?

That would be a waste because DK would not answer the questions, if he put them as he has on here. He would just ask who is this idiot and his backslappers would clap and that would be the end of that question.

Are we not allowed to anwer responses, even if they are bitter, sad ones like yours. Are you jealous it has had so many hits and you dont have the brain power to do a worthwhile post yourself?

I have asked Mr Knight many a direct question as I have no qualms in backing up what I have to say. I told him to sack McGhee when we still had time to save ourselves last year otherwise we would be relegated, how was right?
I would go to the fans forum but it would in all likelyhood be filled with yes men like yourself who would swallow, without any question, any old tosh he therw at you and it would be to sad to watch!

Firstly, it would have taken more than sacking McGhee to save us from relegation. Did you not realise that we had lost some key players (that don't grow on trees) and were unable to strengthen the squad as we would have liked.
The fans forum will be full of 'yes men'
if you can't be bothered to attend and ask these 'invasive' questions. How pathetic that you are happy to shit stir on the internet, yet you are not willing to speak to the man face to face.- Thread starter

I told him to sack him face to face, I have the courage of my own convistions and I am not afraid to speak my mind even if it is controversial, something I thinnk you dont seem to be able to do, if this is not the case, ask something convtroversial yourself!

I am interested as to how you come to that conclusion about me.
I am not going to ask a question, just for the sake of being contraversial. They have made mistakes, but they have also done an exceddingly good job in difficult circumstances.
What exactly are you expecting of the board?

I can only judge by the answers you give and everything you say seems to be supporting the board, that is your prerogative. I am also not going to ask a question just because you say so.
What do I want from the board, its in my original post!
Eh? You can scour all the posts on this board and you won't find ANY where Yorkie says 'Everything the board says is Gospel'. She is sometimes accused of being a bit too 'pro-club' (i.e. a supporter of what Knight and Perry are trying to do) but saying that she, or anybody else on this thread, lacks the intellectual ability to come to their own conclusions is breathtakingly arrogant of you - as I'm sure you'll admit.shabba said:
You're going to have to accept that people have different views to you. Also the only person here displaying 'blind faith' is you - and like all zealots you're convinced you're in possession of some hidden truth that the rest of us benighted heathens aren't enlightened enough to see. You're not a Rosicrucian are you?
And for the record whilst obviously I'm pleased Knight ousted Archer and he IS still in credit I'd love him and Perry to step down in favor of Sullivan/Gold/Brady from Birmingham.

f*** ME SIDEWARDS WITH A MARROW
Someone suggesting Bens Grandad being a DK lacky. I think that is the funniest thing I have ever seen on here.
The world has gone stark staring mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is not my perogative. We have differing opinions and I like to think I am in touch with reality. Of course, the board have made mistakes. Money has been wasted on Turienzo/Molango etc.
In hindsight it would have been better to sack McGhee before the start of the season, but I feel DK felt that McGhee deserved a chance to put things right. He probably felt that once we have got rid of the Leon gang, then our fortunes would change. To be fair to McGhee, he had a very tough job in the second season of the Championship, having lost key players with little money to replace them. Is that the boards fault? How much money would have been needed to save us!? It is clear that we were out of our depth and would have needed a large sum of money to turn things round. Is it the fault of the board that the sums are not available. No.

Some points true, but his complete lack of man management skills (Leon, CKR), his inability to get the best out of players (Leon, CKR, Jarett), inexplicable tactical decisions and his inability to admit mistakes also cost us our championship place.

Your opinion seems to be that everyone else is wrong and you are the only one who is right.
Calling doug deep bitter and sad is so far from the truth it is farcical.
You TOLD Dick Knight to sack McGhee is not the same as asking a question.
Have you ever actually been to a Fan's Forum and asked a question? I doubt it. The Supporter's Club leader criticised Dick Knight at the last Fan's Forum so that should have been mentioned.

Incidentally, I think McGhee is the only manager to get the best out of Leon over a prolonged period of time. He is now plying hs trade with MK Dons down in League Two. Jarrett is a funny one, showed flashes of what he could do, but has never performed to an acceptable standard, that is clearly not McGhee's fault. If he was going to make it, I am sure a network of scouts would have picked up on him when he was at Watford. CKR was clearly here (as was Henderson) as a stepping stone to greater things. Unfortunately, they didn't want to slog it out at Brighton, but wanted instant rewards. That is one of the dangers when you have a reputation, as a club, of giving youth a chance.
