That's the problem with Lowe - no ****ing ambition!

With respect PaulaCZT, there is no point him saying anything. If he came out and said "Save starving african children", people would criticise him for forgetting those with malaria. Saints are better off without RL and, honestly, he's probably better off without all the abuse.

Just what we need.... another tax exile!

I don't disagree at all, but I am a fan. However, to the man/woman who is working on reception / in accounts payable / who ever took the call, they would just be another creditor after their money from a struggling company. In any organisation, the first battle you have is getting through to someone who can do something about it. If it just went through the 'normal' process , it'd be treated alongside everything else.

I will laugh my tits off.

Rock solid info. You have a PM.

Sorry Window Cleaner, you are wrong. Average Southampton salary 22K£ x 40 years at work=880K - less circa 30% tax (Basic + NI) so you'd only have about £660K.

The bold is a far more accurate representation of who receives the money. Regardless of the cause, Saints are in financial trouble and, on the balance sheet, DW's money is the same as money to pay the 'leccy bill. I'd expect Saints to hold on to monies owed for as long as possible - it's called good business.

I read this forum, realise that regardless of what I did fans would eventually turn on me. Then I'd go and invest in the FTSE instead. Worst possible time to be in administration in my opinion.

There are seventy reasons on this thread (less a couple of sane posts) as to why this club is in the shyte. A divided fanbase will lead to the long term destruction of this club faster than Rupert Lowe, Leon Crouch or Michael Wilde ever could. .... But carry on fighting if you want. Wake me when we get to the Ryman Premiership.

And he had a care home business that he doesn't have anymore.

I predict thousands will come back now Lowe has gone.... or it might be because of the kerrrrrazzzy prices. Or they'll be a little (sub 500) boost, or no change. One of the above. Certainly.

When blame became more important than the game.

With respect Alpine you know nothing about me, or my family, that enables you to determine if my outrage is faux or not. It is very hard to move on if cancer moves with you, so excuse me if I find the metaphor unacceptable. I am not embarassed in supporting Lowe over no viable alternative. I have always held that what is good for Rupert Lowe will be good for Saints FC, and (whilst he's still a shareholder) conversely too. If we manage to go into administration and, by using the rules to our advantage, avoid a 10 point penalty, will you be trumpeting Lowe's business acumen?

Rupert has just kissed Dave Jones on the mouth.

The biscuits are nice. No pink wafers.

I will be inside the meeting, contributing to this thread twitter stylie...

Agreed... In which case you should publish the salient points of Morph's PM...

Are you guys stupid? If the attempt here is to seperate the fortunes of SFC and SLH, then the last thing Saints should be doing is using the SFC to actively report SLH news. The Hemscott link is appropriately distanced.

I don't consider having your lower leg amputated through bone cancer nitpicking. The fact that you do sickens me.

If this is the case, then will Rupert Lowe be heralded as a business genius?

35 replies to this thread, and not one commenting on how abhorrent the use of the word 'cancer' is to describe something that is comparatively trivial. There were 154,162 reasons alone last year why this belittles your argument. … that, and you’re wrong.

Total conjecture. SFC was/is like a plane in a steep dive, no matter who was the pilot I think we'd have gone into admin - it was just a a question of when. Could Pearson have got the youth players to perform when he struggled to get our 'overpaid' stars to do the same last season? Who knows (by the way, the answer to this is no one). Personally I think those that try to put a halo on Crouch's head are naive and exercise double standards. For example, if Lowe had been as evasive about the Walcott transfer renegotiation as Crouch was, then you'd be sharpening your pitchfork and marching on the Cotswolds.

True for some. Equally some are promoting it as a 'preferable' [to Wilde and Lowe] option. I don't agree, nor do I think the bracketed assumption is a given.
