I think Dick Knight is a good chairman how ever the tide seems to be turning against him.Maybe if Dick reads this poll he can make up his owm mind as we are a community club:lolol:

He just needs to stop giving us lies and get some-one in who can run the club as a business and want success on and off the pitch.

HE NEEDS TO GO TO MILAN MAN'S HOUSE AND SUCK HIM OFF!

Who should he be replaced with?

He owns a stake and would have to be bought out.

It is a minor miracle that we have survived so far, let alone enjoyed three seasons of Championship football brushing shoulders with teams that spend more on a single player than our whole turnover.

What we need is money and we will not get much of that until Falmer is built.

Keep him in I say. Although, I would like to think that they could be more open with finances. I understand, why they keep things schtum though....

Legend, doing a good job, and an absence of anyone seemingly desperate to come in and invest would lead me to go with the first option.

The word legend is easily given out at this club I see.

A legend is Micky adams or Bob geldoff

Is this a BINFEST record of different threads carping about the club, even by NSC standards of serial whining.

The same guy who has lied and dragged us down to where we are now.

I dont think he should go but only because the farce of falmer is still on-going. If that goes down the pan he can fcuk off.

Maybe he's taken us as far as he can or maybe he has'nt! My gut feeling is that he's still got enough left within him to lead us to Falmer. All his good & bad points aside the bloke has got the balls for a fight ( which is more than can be said for some of the gloom & doom merchants on here of late). You have to ask how many chairmen would've thrown in the towel by now with all the obstacles that have been put in our way.

Very hard question. I think the bottom option is the closest to the truth but as pointed out to me on here last night I think it would be near on suicidal for him to go before the Falmer decision.

At last....a post of your,s that I agree with totally. I am sure Dick has taken us as far as he can, and of course , he is undoubtedly a huge part of the reason that as a club, we exist today. But.....am I alone as someone who is increasingly concerned at the decisions made at the club over the last 6 months...??? I know the board is pretty divided over Mcghee (...and I,m glad he,s gone ) ....but surely the right time was after the end of last season...?? Was it really the right time to sell CKR, and then sack Mcghee a few days later....?? Opinions are opinions.....but timings of important decisions are down to Dick........and I,m worried....!! Is it right to plough all the money into Falmer......and so very little into the playing side.....??? Surely our postion in a higher grade of football is a more compelling reason to grant our city a decent football ground......??

Ungrateful twat.

Oh here we go....some-one on insult-chat has decided because he disagrees with my point of view he can insult me as a person..You really are a joke.

Ungrateful, dont make me laugh..The guy has had nothing but support from the fans irrelevant of his lies and poor judgement of financial situations,apart from the fact we all have payed prem prices for years at withdean. He has had a walk in the park.

Enough is enough.

You don't have a 'point of view', you have an agenda driven by rage, frustration and pride. And a certain level of ignorance. But OK, I'll pick your post apart.

The same guy who has lied and dragged us down to where we are now.

One, you have absolutely no idea how to run a football club. And you certainly have no idea how to run a football league club with so few comparative assets.

Two, the tone of your post indicates someone that you have no faith in - you called him a liar (the sort of phrase the phrase the rest of us reserve for Norman Baker or Ann de Vecchi). BTW what specficially are his lies?

Three, we are in a far higher position than when Dick Knight took over. He has *cough* 'dragged us down' from a position that he had elevated us to. You want him to take take the blame for doing that, while giving him no credit for taking us to a position from where we were 'dragged down' in the first place.

Four, if Falmer goes down the pan (which it won't - do keep up), the man will walk anyway. But it won't be because of you.

You sprout all this rubbish without coming up with one single answer to what you perceive are major problems, and you have the neck label me a joke? Good one. He has had anything but a walk in the park. He has had to operate a club on less than a shoestring, in the face of a number of hostile factors from people who don't want the club on their doorstep, to people who are happy to see the club wither and die. 'A Walk in the Park' is just about the stupidest comment I have heard about running Brighton & Hove Albion for the past nine years.

So all these things together, along with the disruption to his personal life, and the cost to his personal wealth, which he may not see yet for ANOTHER five years (that would make 14 years of pumping hundreds of thousands of pounds into the club and not seeing it again), and you slamming him for it, tell me why I should not think you ungrateful?
