does anyone know how much he has put in over the time he has been chairman

I think he has put a fair percentage of his money in. Probably not a fortune but percentage wise I reckon he's on a par with the majority of chairman. I dont think we can fault him for that, its the decisions regarding footballing matters where he has let us down - and more than once I'm afraid.

If Dick Knight went, we would in the Conference with the Majeeds looking to buy us.

 

[Albion Dan]

The way things are going we'll have conference footy with Dick Knight anyway.

I,m sick and tired of hearing about "no money", and "Falmer, Falmer , Falmer"....................any Chairman, who,s spent nearly four years getting an extra 2000 seats put in, and then UTTERLY FAILS to invest in the team, needs his business head examined...!!!!
Our ground can now hold about 9,000.........unbelievably inept investment in the squad of players, means gates are now about 5,000. I make that 4000 empty seats at approximately £24 a time.......nearly £100,000.00 a game down.......£2,300,000.00 over a season. Not to mention people spending money on merchandise etc. etc.
We got relegated twice from the Championship due to chronic lack of investment.......carry on with Dick Knight,s policy, and we,ll be out of business before Falmer can become a reality.
Gates of 5,000....and probably less in the mid-winter is doing more harm to our case for Falmer than anything else...!!

Agreed. I know everyone remembers what DK did for us, but he seems to have forgotten that if you have no supporters you have no club. Total lack of investment in the team has led to gates spiralling down. How long before Knight Out calls?

Agreed, but where is the money coming from. Do we borrow again, and get ourselves into the same situation we were in at the Goldstone?

Get yours out and get to the Withdean

Can you find some form of evidence on this?

 

[Rookie]

said before but who the hell is going to take over? No one is going to invest in a team with no ground, or at least to the level that every on here and the phone in wants.
There aren't many millionaires looking to spunk a few million on a club and get nothing in return and if they exist they will go for the top teams

I don,t honestly think it,s about borrowing more money.....investing in the team, thereby filling the seats.......makes a whole lot more sense to me than losing £100,000.00 a game in lost ticket revenue...

 

[portslade seagull]

This whole situation is down to knight not dealing with the managers position b4 the start of the season thus not allowing a new manager any chance to sign some decent free transfer players which were around at the time.
His tight fistedness will now take us back to where he started with us..
