There are some right brainless twerps around here.

[Ernest]

I'd love to meet you Ernest and find out what really makes you tick.

People who come on here and bang on about Dick Knight and yet don't even go to a game or find any old excuse not to go.
Withdean is a shit hole and I get pissed off sitting in the pouring rain freezing my nuts off to cheer my team on but I do it, and I do it with my season ticket renewed as soon as I get the first letter and I sit there with my programme, my Withdean Wager ticket, wearing my shirt and scarf because I love the Albion and have done for 35 years and if they played in Hove Park with jumpers for goal posts I'd be there but you wait and see how many turn up on Friday night and how many feeble excuses are made.
This is why the club is in the shit because too many people say they're fans but will only turn up for Cardiff or Spurs and all of them are not worth a handjob (copyright Nigel Benn).

 

[Yoda]

I'll still be there Friday night.

Blimey, Ernest in sensible post shocker!!

P.S. I agree with Digweed, I am a season ticket holder, I've contributed to A&K, and I'll be there on Friday, with my match day programme, in preference to getting drunk at the office party.

Can Digger's post be made a sticky so that TLO and Lord B are not having to post the same thing week in and week out?
I don't know how they have the patience to do it.

So in other words you agree with what Digweed Trousers has said then...?

 

[mr turd]

no names mentioned but I am fecking astonished at the table-thumping attitude by some of the people on here.

I work in finance with venture Capital finance, rescue packages and the immediate after-effects of administration once the decision has been taken to go that way. We also help with companies that are coming out of administration, MBO's etc.

It is a question of plain maths. I do not see the board has been less than honest with what we need. I will say, and check the ask the club, that I fear the worse in my dark hours. I want to know more but there are some utterly invariable inevitabilities with running a business.

There is a short-fall of 2million quid over the last 7 years. We have to raise that by the end of the season to be able to have a structure for the next finacial year without taking losses forward, but also for the investment that will come with the new stadium. You assume as a business that the goals set will be reached and have the structure to be able to meet the demands that those goals will bring.

If you sit on your fat hairy arse saying Falmer will not happen or open you stupid vacous gob about Pende and other sites you have the luxury to do that. as a director Brighton and Hove albion football club you do not.

You take the option that the directors, acting in the best interest of the club, deem to be the most beneficial. Falmer for Us.

You then structure the immediate and future finances of the business to get you to that goal and then past that goal and the future.

We cannot do this with the debts that exist at the moment and those losses must be dealt with.

Players are assets and therefore they will be sold to the highest bidder to enable the club to survive. Some companies need to purchase machines that will do the jobs of thirty people and at twice the speed.which will sometimes cost amounts of money far greater than their own net worth. It can be dome and is done. Lending rationales are part of banks and finace institutions criteria.

We are in the same boat. No prospective lender or investor will want to put money into the Falmer development when we go to talk to them about it 6 months 1 year before hand when we are 2 million quid in debt and owe the Inland revenue nearly half a million squid.

Oohhhhh we should say I know that we are potless and incapable of restructuring our finances but we have a very good centre-half.

Not the f***ing point and for one am glad that we have a chairman and a board with the bollocks to lance theboil. We cannot carry on like this. I cannot think of another chairman who has taken on a club in the state we were in in 1996-7. No-one.

He has and has got us to where we are now. If you believe that playing in the championship is more important than the long-term future of the club that is your perogative. But I would not want you anywhere near the board of my beloved Albion. That is my perogative. I think Perseus is a bored little nobody revelling in the attantion he has got. that is his perogative and mine to think he is a twit.

With my professional head I think DK and co are doing this the right way but more importantly the only way. sort out the legacy of debt once we have somehwere that the cash burn can last for a period of time. within that period of time get the new application sorted.

To help survive nuture the youth-system and flog what you can for waht you can get. Keep the business afloat anyway you can until you can get the right site, the right finances and the right investors who see you as a long-term investment, a VIABLE COMMERCIAL INVESTMENT, rather than a couple of quid because they're your local team.

Doing things right very rarely meant getting them done quickly. lance the boil. It will be painful but it will clean the wound once and for all.

Yeah fair point,but are you mistic meg or something,as you don't no where we would be if dick never took over.At the end of the day we are in deep trouble and have no ground and also its been 7-8 years

Yeah and look what he inherited. Do you honestly think it's possible to turn something round that quickly? He had two years to get us back to Brighton, which he did. He has now had the Falmer enquiry, and any delays on that are not his fault are they, or have I missed something?

I don't know how they have the patience to do it.

Why? His post is only an expression of his opinions. They happen to be opinions that I largely agree with but that doesn't mean they are given facts. Other people have different views on the subject. Why not make them sticky too so that the people who share their views don't have to reinstate them every week?

 

[Yorkie]

When given facts are put on the site, stated in Fans Forums and in letters sent out to fans then people either forget them or don't read them properly.

His post sums it all up really, but then no doubt we'll all be giving our opinions for years to come and that will never alter whether facts are there or not.

 

[Ernest]

Of course I don't

My point is that Digweed's post 'sums it all up' for you because you agree with what he's saying, others don't. When posts are made sticky because they represent the views of a number of members that are singing from the same songsheet then NSC becomes just another club that values some peoples views above others based on editorial control.

 

[beorhthelm]

So serious questions Ernest, exactly how do you disagree with Digweeds post and why do you resent Dick Knight running the club.

yes he inherited a stable club,but homeless.At the end of the day its people that actually believe we would have folded if it wasn't for mr knight,but i disagree fully,as im very sure we would have survived.Ifs and butts as we all no.

He got us home indeed,but as said many times,wasn't that the priority for andy new chairman Delays have occured for sure,and you will also find that the board caused a bulls up themselves which cost us about a year.

Shit stadium
zero facilities
huge ticket prices
relying on fatboy!
Yet we are in debt,and running out of time and options,the plan at the withdean has back fired big time,sorry pal but not all see the chairman as god.

Nothing personal with the bearded man,but reckon we are out of his league full stop.
