Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: Gnasher on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 08:13:14 Can't help feeling it of smacks of desperation. The bloke hasn't done anything for at least 5 years.

That's why it's just a trial and we haven't actually signed him. If he doesn't impress he won't be signing. He was a good little player a few years ago, if he can find that sort of form again he could be a huge asset in League Two.

Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: juddie on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 08:51:13 ha ha, where you been Bart?!
priceless. I hate Knight. One of the biggest cnuts to walk the planet. But I hated him because he was good. If PDC can get goals out of him then he could be worth a punt. My only hope would be we'd get him on a short-term deal or performance-related deal, which is all he deserves. Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: Peter Venkman on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 09:03:17 Pretty much agree with what Juddie says.
Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: BANGKOK RED on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 09:03:28 And/or a deal where they can fuck him off immediately if he acts like a cunt.
Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: juddie on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 09:05:37 if you ever find me chanting 'Leon Knight, Knight, Knight' then feel free to punch me in the chops. It will be well deserved.
Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: Trashbat? on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 09:09:45 Hopefully he has hit rock bottom and realised that he has wasted what could have been a half decent career.
If he did get a contract here it would be us doing him a favour and not vice versa, Hopefully he realises he is in the last chance saloon Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: Sippo on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 09:10:12 Cunt or no cunt, if he scores goals that gain us promotion then I don't care.
Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: Batch on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 09:11:23 f f s. he's had about 10 second chances in his career. And wasted them all.
I hoped we'd have more of a plan than to rely on Leon fucking knight. yes its only a trial. I expect him to do well and be on best behaviour for that. its the baggage that comes later. Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: BANGKOK RED on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 09:15:31 Are we relying on him now?

I'm surprised he is even on our radar. I'll leave it there. Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 09:24:10 We are in league 2.

Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: nochee on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 09:26:49 Yes he is a cunt. But if he gets a contract, then he will be our cunt and hopefully score us a bagful.

I expect him to do well and be on best behaviour for that. its the baggage that comes later. This. I will give him a chance if he ends up signing, but I do wonder how many of his goals were penalties, because I know that the season he finished L1's top scorer at Brighton, or near as top, most (15 from recollection) of his 29 goals (I think) were penalties. Christ, Brighton don't even like the bloke and he was at his best there and should have a similar place in fans hearts to Parkin's here. Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: herthab on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 09:43:53 It's PdC's shout. If the little cunt impresses and is offered a deal then it's up to the manager to keep him in line.
If he does sign and is successful, all the people complaining now will be happy. Won't they? Most footballers are egotistical wankers, he may be more of a wanker than most but I'm not really interested in what he says on twitter, I'm more interested in how he plays football. I hated him when he played against us, but then I usually hate players who are good against us! Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: juddie on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 09:44:20 The passage of time does strange things to people.

We'll be having a look at John McGinlay next. I don't think anyone is disagreeing how much of a cnut this bloke is Ardiles, but like PDC's political beliefs I'm willing to put that to one side if he does a job on the pitch. I don't want to be his mate, I want us to get out of League 2. I wouldn't even consider him in L1, but L2? Maybe... If we do sign him, Watkins et al should ban him from twitter because he's a liability. He makes Simon Ferry look like mother theresa. Feel free to put me in my place when he's been found getting smashed on a Friday night, fighting with our own fans, calling us all cnuts on twitter or showing us how much we're paying him and having love children with Douglas' missus.

If we were to sign him then of course I wouldn't be on his back. STFC is more important than that. To clarify its not (just) the fact he's a cock that worries me, it whether the disrupts the team or strops off at a crucial point in the season. Its all well and good saying "sack him" at that point. But its not easy to get a replacement in a later date if we do (a la Austin this season).

Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: LucienSanchez on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 10:00:41 It's a tad similar in that one or a group of agents are getting their clients in somewhere they have a strong connection, and in turn are having, one would imagine, a bit of a pay day to boot.

Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: JanAageisGod on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 11:13:31 I've heard plenty of stories about what he got up to off the pitch even when doing well at Brighton. Not (m)any are good.
However, IF he is as good as his word and wants to actually show his ability his finishing is way beyond League Two standard. I could just never decide if he was just some sort of loveable but naughty kid who could be kept in line with the right man in charge. He seemed to do ok under Lou Macari of all people at Huddersfield, who I can't see tolerating much. If you do think he's just a gobby moron he does have a large tattoo of Che Guevara, which at least means he reads and thinks a bit outside football. On a wider note, I want someone to ask Jeremy Wray about why we have suddenly become so close to one agency, why that one etc? Answers please. Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: Batch on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 11:20:02 He seemed to do ok under Lou Macari of all people at Huddersfield, who I can't see tolerating much.

Oh wait. Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: juddie on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 13:06:44 Good one Bart. Original, thoughtful, sensible post.
Leon Knight is going to be like marmite. Some will give him a chance but others won't, that's just the way it is - it'd be boring if we all thought the same. He's made his bed with his behaviour in the past and he'll have to lie in it. I will say this, though: ignoring the fact that he is a wanker, which is not up for dispute, isn't it a teeny bit ironic for people slating Knight for being a disruptive influence when that was exactly what Dougie was last season? Dougie is a superb player, no question, but there is no doubt his captaincy was a failure of huge proportions. discuss. Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: BANGKOK RED on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 13:08:51 If it was any other FL club, Id be laughing. Would you still be laughing at them if he scored against us? He does seem to have a knack of putting the ball in the net after all. For the record, I'm a bit wary of it myself. but can see absolutely fuck all wrong with giving him a trial to check where his attitude is. Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: Spencer_White on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 13:10:53 Well theres twitter for a start?
As for putting the ball in the net? When and where in the last 2 years?

Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: BANGKOK RED on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 13:16:01 he scored 12 in 22 last year.
There's no denying the lad can hot the back of the net, it's his attitude in question. We are taking him on trial to see of his attitude really is fixed after he's had a kid and stuff. If he's still a complete tosser then bye bye. If he's not such a knob then we've got a goal scorer. What's wrong with that. Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: juddie on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 13:17:07 yes, he's a complete tool on twitter, and ferry hasn't been? i'm assuming the club would monitor his twitter behaviour, like they've promised to do with all players from now on.
Remind me what Sam Parkin's scoring record was like before he came here? We know he can score in this league and higher... If, and I'm playing devil's advocate, he doesn't mug fans off on twitter and he scores 25 goals this season. Then what? Just sayin! I hate him like the next man, but I'm just saying. Seems a bit extreme to write him off before he's kicked a ball. Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: Benzel on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 13:19:07 I was dreading the thought of him playing for us when the rumours first surfaced, I was hoping it was just a load of bollocks.
But the fact remains that this guy is proven in these leagues. Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: Spencer_White on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 13:20:11 oohh, he might have sorted his attitude out.

He's followed by loads of fans, young and old and he's only toned it down in the last few weeks cos he's had to.
And Spence, I don't think he'll ever change, but if he scores the goals that get us out of League Two, are we still bothered? I'm still debating in my head... I'm not saying I would like him whether he scored or not, I'm just putting it out there. If he were to score 30 and we finished top of the league, would we all be slating him still? I'm not sure.

Which is something that he is known to do. Don't know of that would be worth the possibility of pissing other players off though. Although Di Canio is clearly well aware of the risk. Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: DV on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 15:53:10 I will say this, though: ignoring the fact that he is a wanker, which is not up for dispute, isn't it a teeny bit ironic for people slating Knight for being a disruptive influence when that was exactly what Dougie was last season? discuss. Which clubs have sacked Douglas in the past? Has he ever been thrown off the team bus on the way to an away game? Has a club ever sacked him and held onto his registration to stop him playing in England. No. Comparing the two is laughable. Knight has been fined, sacked and god knows what else because of his behavior and most if not all past managers have had nothing but bad words to say about him. Douglas is just rumours that have little to no foundation what so ever. Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 15:54:13 So the forum goes into meltdown today. We haven't even started pre-season training yet people.

Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: nochee on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 15:55:49 Dicanio has proved himself a great tactician here. Giving Leon knight a trial has made everyone forget he's a fascist and moved the hatred and attention on to a different cunt. Genius!
Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: mrverve on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 15:57:38 Juddie, in all fairness, I think Leon knight has a bit more of a past than what Douglas has.

Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: Spencer_White on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 17:14:00 Leon Knight was on Soccer AM last year, and I wanted to punch the screen with him on it. I remember a few years ago when the Trust held a 'Lou Macari Night' at the Moonies. Lou described him as one of the most talented individuals he'd seen for years, but with the worst attitude. That's probably why so many clubs kick him out !! I was there as well. He said in all his years in football he had never seen a player with so much talent, but his deficiencies as a person meant he was never going to make it. He will never change. The bloke is a moron. Whats all this comparing him to Douglas? Are you completely insane? Dougie was a good bloke. As for 'Di Canio will sort him out', yeah right, some of the best managers in the football league tried to straighten him out, if he gets a contract, thats it.

Hope we get one of the two forwards we are in negotiations with as they need someone to hold up the ball in order to play off, as De Vita doesnt look the type and Knight wont be!

Why - we take a proven lower league striker on trial to see if we want to work with him - seems quite sensible to me... He is utterly crap now, and always was a complete cunt. 10 goals in 22 games for Coleraine last season doesn't seem too crap to me. For the record her is an arse (but them most footballers are), but reading on Twitter (so it must be true) couple of things... 1. One of the managers he fell out with was Mark McGhee - that makes him go up considerably in my opinion. 2. So he signed in Rushton on a 3 year deal who then transfer listed him 2 months later then sacked him 2 months later after 'breaches of contract' - how would you feel if you signed a 3 year contract and your employer then tried to offload you after 2 months and then sacked you - but then also went out of their way to stop you working anywhere else - you would be a bit pissed off I suspect. I am not trying to defend the little git - he is no doubt a arrogant sod, but there are always two sides to any story. Anyway he is only on trial - assuming he does well we will sign him, he will have a dust up with PdC and assuming they have got the contract right he will bugger off - if this can be after 15-20 goals for us that will do me.

I dont know? he might be - Southend are still on very dodgy footing financially and we could probably pay him more. Thats enough for most footballers these days.

My badly made point was that I'm sure that the board and management know the names of these players - what we don't know is who is available and who is not.

He's a twat - but he is an available twat whereas as far as we know (but again you have the 'facts' that i don't) Corr isn't - until we know better do we give a trial to the proven (albeit grade A arsehole) goalscorer or instead speculate about players we could sign. Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: Doore on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 20:45:33 Signing Leon Knight may or may not be good for the club - that's for Mr Di Canio to decide.

Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: Arriba on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 20:55:43 apart from being a cocky little fucker,what has Knight done to provoke such hatred from town fans?
I remember him being a lively little player with bags of talent. If he has grown up then he's worth a shot aint he? I said weeks ago we should go after Fallon. I think he'd be perfect for us(reckon wages might be the stumbling block though) Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: horlock07 on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 20:56:04 Barry Corr signed a 1 year deal at Southend on July the 8th 2010. Right great sign him up (happy to have him back), but will he not in the abscence of a transfer fee probably end up in D3 at least.

Very Bizarre. and just as a disruptive cunt as Knight. Amazing what can happen when a L2 club give a chance though.... I'd shoot my load if we had Hughes and King up front. They'd bag a fuck ton of goals.

If people hate Knight then it's down to his behaviour and not his playing ability... and that's fair enough. Either way, it's just a trial.

Look i dont care if we get Fucking Laurel and Hardy on trial,why the fuck is a trial needed when he has been playing over ten years,its not like he is not known....unlike the Rizzer who is unknown to most like Dossevi and a trial warranted....so what is he on trial for...attitude, fitness goal scoring prowess....is a few mickey mouse games in Italy going to show anything we dont know. My point is we should be looking at tried and tested scorers.....at least two come to that,the money raised from past sales should allow us to go out and spend a bit.

Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: Doore on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 21:26:36 Maybe a trial is needed to see how his game is now - its been a while since he played at this level. By having him on trial we get a close look at his condition and ability - something Di Canio may not know that well anyway. If it doesn't work out, we lose nothing. What's the harm?
Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: Costanza on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 21:26:56 Don't snap at me leefer :girlgiggle:
I'm not an advocate for Leon Knight... All I know is that he's here to prove himself after 2 years in the wilderness due to whatever happened at Rushden. He's scored goals in FL and shows that despite being 'just' with Coleraine that he still knows how to do it. Dossevi has never been prolific. We are clearly struggling to attract players, we're not the only ones. Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: jb on Tuesday, June 28, 2011, 21:27:18 Let's give the bloke a chance. Atleast he'll add a bit of arrogance and confidence up front that we were lacking last season. As others have said maybe he's matured.

Maybe Di Canio will give him yet another chance which he may or may not chuck away. The guy is 28, not a youngster who can be taught. I guess the only slim chance he'd not play silly cunt in the dressing room is if he's finally realised his career is short and finite and he'll be a nobody in a few years time. If he's that desperate to play football he may calm down. If he signs he will get his chance to prove himself without me slating him. My reservations about Di Canio have thus far been unfounded.

And just to put in my two pence worth, Leon Knight is a nasty little bastard who appears to piss off everyone around him without much effort. As far as I'm concerned he can disappear back into the wilderness. He's only got himself to blame for being there in the first place!

Turns up to training unfit... Some mature footballer. Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: china red on Friday, July 1, 2011, 06:53:45 Surely the whole point of pre season training is to get fit. Think there is more to this story than meets the eye.
Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: Batch on Friday, July 1, 2011, 06:56:22 Surely the whole point of pre season training is to get fit. Think there is more to this story than meets the eye. Its a trifle odd because as people point out, there is along way to the start of the season. I read somewhere that Knight didn't want to go to Italy, and he had other offers. Now I think that this was from the football rumours website so probably BS, but it makes more sense! Perhaps it was polite speak for his legs have gone. Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: Costanza on Friday, July 1, 2011, 07:00:58 Why would Knight agree to turn up knowing that the club were going to Italy if he didn't want to go?
I lean towards the notion that he's had a couple of years outside the football league and it's noticeable. Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: tans on Friday, July 1, 2011, 07:23:19 :(

Think there is more to this story than meets the eye. Nah. Makes perfect sense. A professional footballer would have a core fitness. Pre-season is just to get it back up to speed after a few weeks relaxing. Knight hasn't been involved at any decent level for so long, he's obviously let himself go. A true professional with ambitions of getting back into league football would have been keeping his levels up. Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: Trashbat? on Friday, July 1, 2011, 08:06:56 As di Canio said when he arrived Fitness is a big thing for him, if they aren't fit next year they wont play.
No excuse for not keeping himself properly fit even without a club, Ifil hasn't got a club and I see him every morning either cycling or jogging by my house to keep himself fit.

Hello and thank you. Any one Called "The White Warrior" has to be the right move. Dougie will be missed but up and onwards.

What an absolute dickhead the bloke is. His career is nearly over and he's ruined it because he's got a massive bag of chips on his shoulder. What a fat fucking waster. I know dole merchants with more promise. I hope he doesn't find another club/manager to blame his bad luck on.

Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: Benzel on Monday, July 4, 2011, 19:07:06 What's all that hung out to dry bs that he's spouting.
What a fanny. Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: Costanza on Monday, July 4, 2011, 19:07:59 ? Spencer is suggesting that many of us were rejoicing such a signing. Whilst some of us (myself included) kindly reminded those who threw a fit that it was just a trial. Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: BANGKOK RED on Monday, July 4, 2011, 19:09:24 Was there a single person that was 'rejoicing' the signing?
Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, July 4, 2011, 19:14:25 There were a few who were warm to the idea.
Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: Benzel on Monday, July 4, 2011, 19:14:28 Was there a single person that was 'rejoicing' the signing? No, but we weren't all slitting our wrists because we had a player on trial.Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Monday, July 4, 2011, 19:16:23 I was warm to the idea. Would hardly say i was mugged off though. Just seems Spence has approached that middle aged miserable cunt stage ;)
Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: chalkies_shorts on Monday, July 4, 2011, 19:16:31 He takes fuckwittery to new levels
Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: BANGKOK RED on Monday, July 4, 2011, 19:22:59 "He's a cock. But he's scored a few goals and it's only a trial" was about warm as it got.
However "Oh my fucking god, this is a joke. We are relying on Leon fucking Knight. This proves the agents are running everything. Oh my fucking god. The club is a fucking joke." Was the other side to the argument. What - ever Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: Batch on Monday, July 4, 2011, 19:23:49 Knight in being a knob shocker!
Meh, maybe agent Darren told him he was a shoe in for Town and he burn his bridges at his former club. Actually I don't care if he did. Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Monday, July 4, 2011, 19:23:56 Well, I was just trying to see the possible positives in his being at the Club, i.e good scoring record in Ireland, maybe he'd learned his lesson (apparently not it would seem) and so on. I believe it's called being open minded :hmmm:

It's okay to be wrong now and then, don't beat yourselves up about it. Title: Re: Leon Knight on trial with us Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Monday, July 4, 2011, 19:47:09 Nah i was taking the piss i know he wasn't.
