Err - he's not a shareholder in that no one is a shareholder anymore, and he was a director, and I'm sure no-one forced him to speak on the radio. He was a complete and utter embarrassment on Five Live yesterday and any sympathy and neutral fan would have had for us went straight out the window once Leon had finished. Leon, shut up you clown.

I don't think we've been set up at all. We tried to cheat the system with the lamest alibi imaginable, like a eight year old with a football looking sheepish next to a broken greenhouse window. The only thing that the FL did wrong was poncing about in the first place - they should have given us the ten points on the day we went into admin. Any idiot could see we deserved the penalty as per the rules.

Yes.

Oh well. He is a ****adelic ****burger ****chops anyway.

It's Alpine all along. He's our saviour. Shame I tend to call him a ****ing ****ing ****ing ****buddy ****flap mong**** ****worth ****face every other day.

For what? And who is going to take legal action? Let's concentrate on reality. He has gone for good. The end.

I heard the interview and Crouch came across like a total arse, with the presenter shooting eight foot holes in his "seperate entity" story. He was a complete embarrassment. We deserve the 10 point penalty, lets just swallow it.

Being that you consider a fortnight a perfectly reasonable period of time to completely reverse your opinion about something then whoever is our new manager won't stand a chance. You'll be *****ing and moaning before the month is out regardless.

This is the same Glenn Hoddle who with a jacuzzi full of parachute cash who couldn't even scrape Wolves into the play offs? :rolleyes:

How many games did Ince last before he was sacked. At least Boothroyd managed to last a full season in the premier league. Ince got found out and bombed out.

But its not going to be the only option. There is some chancer consortium out there that will end up taking the club over. It won't be the fans groups. I'm a bit sick of all this stuff about "we'll end up in the Wessex league" and all that. It's like people have been living in caves - how many times have Notts County, or Mansfield been here? We're not going to end up like Bradford Park Avenue. It's jolly exciting to pretend we are and getting MPs and action teams together but I bet both of my bottom cheeks it doesn't happen and a consortium of businessmen takes us over sometime between now and "the eleventh hour".

I'm with this guy. We don't need any of this apart for the sake of a bit of "we did our bit" ego stroking. We will be taken over by one or a group of businessmen. We will not be "saved by" or "owned by" ver fans. Not next month, not next year and please, please, please god, not ever.

What do you think Tisdale would do if some random asks him if he wants to manage Saints. A polite laugh is what you're going to get. If offered the Saints job under a new regime I'd bet he'd take it. He won't get a better offer than that any time soon.

I look forward to my little note from whichever mod you've crawled off to in the morning.

You remember we have to finish above two clubs, don't you? By the time we play Forest we won't be able to catch them. We're relegated, by the way.

Whatever son. How many threads do I start? We're not going to go bust, we're going to be taken over by businessmen. And whatever happens, you'll be moaning, and you won't be going to no games. x

Yawn. I'd fuc king love to see you cheering when Lowe comes out and "calls for everyone to rally round". I for one don't want to see or hear from the c u n t ever again, but that doesn't seem enough for you, and hear we are with the same threads about the same garbage day in day out. It's a piece of **** to sneer at the autistic ill informed horsesh it you spout out daily, and f uck me will I carry on doing so. And whatever you say to me I won't be the one squinnying off to the moderators like a six year old girl to the dinner ladies everytime anyone challenges you. All hail king of the webmongs.

Where of course, if Lowe was in the Echo or Radio Five every other day.....you'd be moaning like a *****. I'm still laughing at you congratulating yourself on your "patience" in giving administration a whole fortnight before you started slagging the whole thing off, ignoring the fact you had been screaming screaming SCREAMING for administration all sodding season. Just shut up you clown, who the fu c k apart from you wants Rupert bloody Lowe to issue rallying cries? Whattttt?

Richard Chorley in self aggrandising ego feeding hyperbole shocker. In other news, sources in Rome report the Pope confirming his absolute Catholicism-ology ness.

Surely this article is wrong, after all the club is going to be saved by a load of anorakers shaking buckets about. Bring on the businessmen, and bring em on quick.

he is still unproven in the way some talk of him as "the best young manager in Britain" etc etc. As I said in a previous post, L1 has been won by/promoted from by a fair few managers that most Saints fans would look down their nose at. And Christ, just to confirm, again, when Pearson was appointed, I had heard of him, I knew the name and remembered him as a player, specifically for Middlesborough and Sheff Weds. Lots of fans on here hadn't even got that knowledge. I'd say it was about nine in ten had my level of knowledge or less. And could I pick his photo of him, as a manager, out of a line up on the day before he was appointed, no. Could I name the man who was WBA caretaker manager for two games in September 2006 if someone had asked me on the day before he was appointed as Saints manager? No and neither could the so-called lifelong Pearson experts giving it large on here. Was he on my top twenty names in the frame on the day before his appointment? No. Was he for anyone? No, he wasn't. No one knew him as a manager was my point. And none of you did. Enough bloody revisionism, for christ's sake.

This is all bang on, and I have stated earlier up the thread it was by far Lowe's biggest error not keeping him on, an error I still cannot fathom it was so stoopid. But of course within this general agreement you get the king chavs like the Farmer who scream "Lowe luvvie" with snipey little comments whenever anyone says anything they see as the slightest slight on Super Nige. Like, he is still unproven, or no-one knew who he was when he was appointed. You know, facts, and stuff. You couldn't make it up. Welcome to the new Taliban :rolleyes:

Oh yeah, I remember now, all those posts on here saying - you know, him, he used to play for Shrewsbury Sorry, the appointment of Pearson was met with a collective shrug, or worse. The hindsight its easy to layer it on thick that everyone was dancing in the streets like the favourite son had been brought in but essentially no-one had heard of him, except maybe as a player, if you want a caveat. The Carlisle thing is a good example - everyone including me could recall "Jimmy Glass" instantly, but not who the manager was. I was surprised to find out it was Pearson, and I only found out on his appointment that it was him all those years ago. And a better example is I know a few Leicester fans and none of them had heard of him except him as Saints manager the season before. This is what makes me laugh about Pearson - you can make innoculous and innocent but perfectly true remarks and certain posters get ridiculously upset as if any minor tiny slight against Nigel bloody Pearson is like a slight on their mother. Collective shrug on his appointment. Fact.

Excuse me while I **** myself. Where exactly do I make any claim that we have "any divine right to be in the Prem"? I am one of the last contributors to this forum to even think such a thing, and anyone that ever reads what I post would know that. But the fact of the matter is we are a bigger club than the likes of Moore or Adkins will ever manage and them and managers like them would take the job on, just like Simon Davey dropped a league to take Leeds on. "Manager of Southampton" is a bigger job to have on the CV than, say "manager of Peterborough", regardless of them being in CCC next season. We'll have plenty of applicants. We'll be a big club in League one, sunshine. Relegation won't turn us into Hereford, just like it didn't turn Man City, Forest, SWFC and Leeds into Hereford either.

It's fair to say nine out of ten saints fans didn't have a clue who he was when the appointment was made. Despite his credentials, that's obscurity in anyone's book. Not having a go at NP, the boy's done good, but he was a pretty left field candidate. Oh, and he just happened to be best chums with Lawrie's son, which played more part in the appointment than any lightbulb in Leon's head.
