you are right, although I'd be surprised if JP had even seen Wotton play. Whoever did scout him needs the sack IMO, he is way below the standard required in the CCC. I'm not endorsing the current set up by the way, I am just pleased that they can see what I can see - Wotton is a League 1 player at best.

absolutely terriffic news, not only has JP recognised that he is poor but we have also found a buyer/suiter. Wotton is a very poor player IMO and never good enough for ths level. Onwards and upwards.

I know that sounds high, but other than the stadium mortgage what else has to come otu of the 19%? Whatever it is it added up to a £1.2m loss every month.

focusing purely on the struggle to avoid financial ruin I don't think many of the investors have any complaints about Lowe employing cheap labour and offloading high wage earners and casshing in on anything of value before it is too late.

Happy Xmas and rolll on 2009. Lets hope for much much better both on and off the pitch.

I see the minimum compensation, but what's the realistic price for these two in your opinion. We have about...sod all in the bank.

are BC paying 100% of his wages for this period?

Lowe has waited for years to totally discredit Chorley. Chorley has made it very easy for him today.

Under our current financial restrictions I don't mind one iota that Stern John is not coming back. I don't really want Saga back either, but its essential that we send Robertson and Pekhart back and try some other loans.

last time I looked there was the mother of all Tescos 500 yards from the proposed new site for ****e Park II, who the **** is going to literally drive past Tesco then go down towards the sea, which is out of their way, to shop at another supermarket? That doesn't add up to me.

to be honest the formation leaves us exposed on both sides. When the full back overlaps Skacel and James have been found wanting countless times. Add to the mix Skacel is lazy and James is poor and we have serious problems. I believe many people have posted all season that having no proper fullbacks at the club was a very poor move, having no protection in front of these poor `fullbacks' is just madness.

to be exact it was a poor pass from Surman to Gasmi that was underhit. Gasmi certainly could have made a challenge, he probably would not have won it, but he bottled it and the rest is hist-o-ry.

Genuine question. Would you drop him to the reserves, play him wide right with strict instructions to do the job you are after, play him in a different position, change the formation, get him back in the hole? What?

did he steal your bird or something? You really don't like him do you?

wonder how many tickets we would have sold if the game had been at Old Trafford?

all three had poor games for sure, but no need to write them off. There is much more to come from all three. Lallana is only 24 games into his Saints carreer FFS, he is a real talent.

so how did we end up with JP rather than Wotte?

Would he take £50k a year? Could he earn more than that as a youth team coach at a Premiership side?

Forgive my lack of knowledge on this, but if it was Wotte that was approachced previously by Lowe, then why wasn't he given the managers job this time round? Was JP part of the equation last time?

far too obvious. A right winger to play right wing. Meh, how is that going to demonstrate total `players can play in any position' football.

what is stopping himj then?

third if you include Gray or did you mean something else when you said second failure?

shares are 24p. Market value of the club if £6.74m. Lowe has around 6.5%, worth £438,100. His little consortium own 26%, worth £1.75m. All somewhat down on the 40p ish prices they paid. Unless some chump pays well over the odds Lowe is going to be here to try to turn the club around financially and get that shareprice back up. Sadly unlike other businesses simply cutting staff and being prudent doesn't get a football club back where we want it to be. That can only mean he is going to be here for a long long time.

no chance sadly.

I am far from convinced. He is whole hearted and has done well at home but he has been weak as **** away. He won most things in the air yesterday except when we needed him to for Morgans goal. The fact he was up against two small lightweight guys possibly explains why I thought he did well. You certainly couldn't fault his desire, take for example when he slipped and he tackled Ernie with his head desperately trying to recover the situtation. The fact is Lancashire is wet so we need him unless we can get someone stronger in. I'd take Pele on lan every day of the week.
