Half a million quid

[dougdeep]

Dick Knight has been a fan of the Albion for over fifty years. He has put in over £1.7 million of his own money. He only took over the club when he realised nobody else would. He has said on many occasions that if a suitable investor came along then he would stand down.
What more do you want?

When Falmer happens lets see what DK and MP give us back eh?

Yeah lets see... em, a brand new state of the art stadium, a proffessional football team, local pride. F***ing Rubbish!

Ok.

We sell Currie who is arguably the best player we have had this season.

For £250,000! No way is he worth that. We got him for a free from Wycombe. Sound business.

Reminds me of 91 when the then board sold John Byrne and Mike Small as they "had no choice". We all know what that eventually led to.

I'm not convinced there is a similarity. The sale of Byrne and Small was probably needed if the finances were as bad as they turned out to be. Ridsdale gets fair stick for doing to Leeds what Bamber did to us, but less publically.

I don't trust this board 1 little bit at the moment due to the fact that there seems to be a lot of behind the scenes goings on.


Seems to be? Where? Where's your evidence, suspicions? TELL US!

Maybe if DK came clean and let us all know what was really going on then maybe me and others would have a bit more time for him.

As for falmer. Maybe the fiasco bit was a bit harsh.
So were you wrong? or right? or spouting off?

I can't see us competing in this division when all the money we get just seems to disappear.
Correct. We're broke. That's not news. We need to spend to get to a new ground, so we can build a sound financial base to ensure our future. Long-term, not just this season.
It needs to be spent on the playing staff.I appreciate that solicitors etc all need paying
Do you? Surely the board that oversaw this fiasco could have done it a different way?
but we need players to play in a new ground if and when we get it.
I,personally don't think the board have another site in mind if we don't get Falmer. I think a few too many people on here have been listening to Ian Hart too much when he says he is sure there is 1. I don't think so.
Maybe I'm wrong and there is another site but nobody will know until the time comes when it needs to be revealed

There may or may not be. I hope there is. But I hope the board hasn't wasted a penny on it until they need to given that Falmer has already cost £2.5m
Intelligent enough for you Lokki?

Funny how the old bullshitter claimed to be a season ticket holder since he wore short pants yet Ron Pavey had no records of this.
