There must be something in the air up those mountains !!

Give us a clue which (witch ?) town you are thinking of ?

Just let me get this right - Alpine_Saint is proposing that Rupert Lowe returns to the club as 'Chief Administrator' under the new set up ??

Alpine, You could start a fight in an empty house ! The vast majority of posters on here (including yourself) do not want to see the man back at SMS in any capacity so I presume that you just want to hear it all over again, why ??

Christ, I think that this has been done to death ! I presume you want people to suggest that he should be a dustman or something ?

This gesture means that my pre match drinks are effectively paid for ! I do, therefore, owe a debt of sincere gratitude to the management and staff of this venerable company ! If only the council would reduce the bleeding car park charges in Cowes it would almost become a pleasure watching Saints lose at home every second week

I don't suppose Rupert's mates will be very happy with him now, eh ?

"You don't win anything with kids" !

Personally I believe him when he says that he loves the club but in the final conclusion he let us down ! There was always a heavy suspicion that he and Wilde returned together to protect/salvage their own share values over all other considerations ! Given his best intentions for the club I simply cannot believe that he could not bring ANY serious investors to the table. I realise that we can now be bought for a knockdown price but the administrator has managed to get 34 statements of intent in a week (even if only a few turn out to be viable). !! This sort of proves that there always was interest out there !I am still left with the impression that Rupert was holding out for reasons of both ego and payout ! Did he ever seriously tried to find us a buyer !!!

I first took my son when he was 5 and it was done for the very best of reasons ! Basically the wife informed me that if I insisted on going to the football I had to take the little brat off her hands otherwise it was a non starter ! Around this time I had a contact at Fulham and used to sit in the director's box, I took my lad along once and he amused himself by running along the rows systematically flipping the seats up and then running back and flipping them down again (the box was never full in those days!) needless to say he wasn't welcomed back !! From about the age of 6 he was a Junior Saint at the Dell and we loved every visit in those days !!

If it wasn't for your swearing filter it would have been even closer !!

I found some interesting quotes from (allegedly) interested parties from the continent : a) "We could get involved but we'll see what comes out in the wash" ! Vim van Persil (Den Haag, Nederland). b) "It may happen for us, I have a nose for thees theengs ! Mathieu Le Depardieu (Paris, France) c) "We checked the 'world class catering' on Saturday, you takin' da pizza" ! Francesco Benalini, (Rome, Italy) d) "The stadium looked good but without underground facilities it was a non starter" ! Rupert Fritzl (Vienna, Austria) e) "We may take a gamble ! Mustapha Punt, (Istanbul, Turkey) f) You vill know that we are coming when you spot a submarine in Southampton water! Boris Von Briefcasky, (Moskva, Russia) g) Our family consortium considered it but felt that we'd be too similar to the previous, failed board of directors ! B und CH koontz, (Hamburg, Germany)

I suppose at least you realise it !!!!

They are pretty similar, you must admit ! I hope that somebody tells the lad just why he was booed, otherwise he may get a complex about it !

I would expect a statement from the admin guy (Fry) giving the facts of our situation. Let's face it it's only one page and is normally drivel anyway ! I could write it myself saying welcome to Charlton, get behind the lads, we need your support and it'll all come good in the wash !!!

Steve Godwin out !!!

As it was my suggestion, I would like to exclude all previous directors from the deal ! If the council buy the stadium and rent it back to the FC under new ownership then I reckon we could be on the way back from oblivion !!!

I really don't know any details and am sure that there would be a minefield to crawl through to get there but I was trying to think 'out of the box' and maybe just sow a few seeds !!!!

I assume that Jackson's Farm would have a real value if the council planning dept consented for residential use ? That being the case, why does the administrator not propose to them that they take JF in exchange for SMS ? The city retains it's football club, the council gets a valuable asset and the taxpayer doesn't lose out ! Win, win, win ??? Maybe I'm dreaming a little but perhaps there is something of this ilk that can be looked into further ????

It won't happen, mark my words !

I hope that people are working on banners. I suggest : 'HATE RUPERT LOVE DUCKS'

This gets my vote ! Why don't you contact Rupert's publisher's directly ?

Looks like it won't be a bestseller then ??
