What do we think of Andy Naylor's article about Dick today?

[Monkey Man]

The piece under discussion might give you a hint....

Journo's are meant to be objective and dispassionate .... everything the piece is not. Naylor hates DK and is using this as his chance of sticking the knife in, something that he should be above.

Not true at all. You're confusing news writing with opinion pieces. Naylor is clearly writing a first-hand account of his relationship with DK and the way he sees recent events. More illuminating, probably, than a factual timeline of the past 12 years.

Maybe. To me, his downplaying of how he saved the club had a distinctly sour air of "apart from that how did you enjoy the play Mrs Lincoln?".

You're obviously intelligent enuf to critically analyse what Naylor writes,not taking everything he says as fact. Unfortuneatly others are not in the same position.

I dont like the way the media shapes society.

Very mealy-mouthed. Naylor's still got an axe to grind.

I didn't realise that he was employed by the Argus to spout of his personal views, I thought that he was meant to be a professional who wouldn't let anything as trivial as personal opinion get in the way of his objective writings ..... obviously mistaken.

 

[Brian Fantana]

Not a particularly balanced account. Giving so few words to the most important fact of all - that DK saved this club - is nothing short of a massive insult to what DK achieved here. Which chairman in the football league hasn't had arguments with managers and the media.

I don't think it did justice to the greatness of DK one little bit.

And even if this is true, isn't it ridiculous to call someone a cu*t for doing that?

There are many on here who dont like Naylor because he is not a Brighton fan. He doesn`t pander to the club like they want him to. The Argus has upset some fans and even the club on more than one occasion - so what ?
That account is from his personal views over the last 12 years.

He should save it for his autobiography and just report the facts. I don't like him or value his opinion

I think it is a decent article, however it's not what you expect to be written when a long serving chairman has left the club.

There'll be a Dick Knight Stand, and there's nothing Andy Naylor can do about it. On the other hand there'll never be an Andy Naylor Stand.

I do hope that Tony bloom is not that stupid as to miss out on sponsership of one of the stands and name it after Knight. If any Chairman deserves it it is Bloom or Bamber.

It would be interseting to find out if Knight has made any money out of all this?

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

It comes across as more of personal comments rather than a review of DK's period at the helm of the club.

 

[deano seagulls]

All Andy Naylor thinks about is himself - the man is a two faced p***k

The truth is that Knight could be an awkward, prickly old git at times and Naylor mentions this. They`re facts.
