Loaning out Rasiak, John and Saga was always going to lead to relegation. Lowe is just a penny counter, he ony sees a players worth on he balance sheet, never on the pitch. When you consider how much we have blown on the 15 players brought in, including the £1mill odd we wasted on Scheiderlin who cannot even get in the current starting line up, it makes farming out our only proven goalscorers even more rediculous.

Lowe freezing him out for half a season may well have got us relegated. Doing the same to Rudi also made no sense whatsoever.

You missed out the freezing out of Euell and Skacel - something that didn't even save a penny. We were playing our best and highest scoring midfielder (Drew) or a 12 year old Fish Mills at left back while Rudi was sat in the stands still picking up his substantial pay packet for doing naff all.

Not at all. Out of the saints fans I know (and that's quite alot) I was always the one who used to stick up for Lowe. That was until the Steve Wigley episode, the person who made that mistake should never be let near any football club. Even if Wotte does prove to be a good manager it will only be a matter of time before Lowe screws up again IMO.

THe fact that we are still 3 points adrift after back to back wins shows what a complete disaster Lowe's experiment with Pootvleit was. Lowe will have a lot to answer for if we go down, the last two games have proved this squad was easliy good enough to stay up given half a chance.

dunno but "There was us 3 and a family in the pub, and 2 other lads from Southampton , (NOT FOOTBALL FANS )" is pretty clear. Obviously only one persons opinion though.

Hope the guy is OK. Doesn't seem football related though, reading St Marcos post.

Lets hope Wotte does prove to be a good manager and keep us up like Pearson did. It's not worth getting carried away yet, I remember the same Lowe Luvie mongs on here were hailing Poortvleit as a genius after a couple of friendlies.

Yeah, freezing out Skacel and Euell and loaning out Saganowski for half a season was genius. All that the current results are proving is that with a half decent manager this squad is easily good enough to be comfortably mid table. If we go down Lowe is completely to blame, not our financial position.

Pahars up front but Shearer on the bench - how the **** did that happen?

The blue away kit from the 80s with the bits on the shoulders was superb.

I think this Connor guy clearly represents the fans more than the Trust - maybe he should be chosen to run the thing? At the moment it appears Illingsworth is too scared/unwilling to upset Lowe.

Whilst I think protesing while the team is playing well is rediculous and totally counter productive, that doesn't mean I think Wotte will be a good manager, I am happy to be proved wrong though. All managers have a honeymoon period, the one consistant thing about those is that the fans always believe it will last. Wotte has alot to prove - but he should be given a chance based on what we've seen.

It just seems like protesting for the sake of it now. If Wotte's team continue their good form and stuff Cardiff do we really want to force change?!?! Lowe is a ****, Poortvleit was a disaster, but if this Wotte guy is actually a good manager then change NOW is the very last thing we need, talk about shoot ourselves in the foot.

Notice it was organised by a charity in pompey. Cheating skate inbred ****s.

Their plan would be a disaster The Trust have been an irrelivance since that 16 year old kid managed to unite the fan base and organise a protest against Lowe. The people protesting that day are the voice of the fans, the Trust are representative of no one - even their own members have had little or no say in what they propose.

I don't think he would, he would see the logic in keeping a good manager on IMO.

If Wotte keeps us up he would have done a superb job so I would expect Crouch to keep him on yes. If a manager's doing a good job then it is risky losing him, suicidal in our position.

I wouldn't let it stop you going, it's not that baaaaaaaad.

What like Poortvliet was?

Why are people comparing what Crouch said with what Lowe did? they are completely different. Crouch said he had a manager lined up just as Poortvleit left, if Wotte proves himself like Pearson did I doubt Crouch would just come in and sack him. Burley was Lowe's manager, Crouch didn't sack him out of spite as soon as he walked through the door.

I suggest you both edit those posts. ****ing out of order.

We could easily have afforded playing him, the fee we paid for Schneiderlin alone would have covered his wages.
