Is Dick Knight.......

[The Large One]

Sorry to disappoint you but I am still fully behind MM. I am concerned that he is not getting enough backing from his chairman, financially which I understand but also I feel he needs his support verbally if only to take some of the heat off MM from the fans. The guy is working with one hand behind his back and hobbled on his feet by the current restrictions on him.

But I'm right f***ed off about today's result and it's a good job I don't have a cat

Dick isn't looking for another manager, nor does he intend to offload McGhee. Bearing in mind that the two talk virtually every day, (they have to, even if only to talk about loan players, new contracts, plus anything else two people with a good working relationship would need) I would surmise that that consitutes a personal backing from Dick Knight .

Why do you think he should feel obliged to tell you or anyone else about it?

I have to go along with the majority, Dick Knight should speak up if only in an attempt to help kill off some of the daft rumours that abound.

my hangover hurts too much to read the entire thread, but my suspicions are that the LDC bastards are taking it out on the club. I'm starting to thin the pressure of their appeal is getting to DK & MP and they are both realising that we may end up without Falmer after all their money/hard work/time screw relegation worrys....THIS is the real worry now

Doubt it.

Martin Perry thinks LDC are a bunch of jokers whose primary agenda is time-wasting on the back of a ridiculous legal challenge that they can't afford. (Of course, I'm paraphrasing here.) He knows we can beat off this challenge. His main headache about this is the fact that we actually have to.

Take your point, but they are just that - daft rumours. They carry no weight in the day-to-day running oif the club, and the people who live by them ultimately suffer by them.

In which case why doesn't the silly old bugger just go somewhere public and say that. It wouldn't do him any harm and it might actually do a bit of good in terms of the current atmosphere! Can't remember the last time after an away agme when there was a chant of 'what a load of rubbish' like there was yesterday.

It would be nice for DK too speak out and either back McGhee or let him know the situation.

So if you ran a company and your manager was pissing off a large proportion of the punter's you'd obviously let the wheels come off before trying to placate your disgruntled customers?

I don't care how much time they spend together, the Chairman needs to be more hands on with his punters. As said before he needs no encouragement when things are going well to give us his thoughts

The current silence is terrible PR, imo, and PR was apparently DK's forte. It appears you and DK may have the same arrogant attitude towards the paying punters. I believe he needs to take some of the shit flying around and deflect it from MM.

Ah, you mean the dreaded vote of confidence? Usually chairmen speaking means the end, doesn't it?
