Given football is only a game, I would get as much a buzz out of seeing a 'New Saints' playing non-league football as I currently do watching mediocre Championship football, so not sure what the problem is, especially if one compares our fate with more important issues going on in the world. Having occasionally been to see Aldershot play over the last few years I've sensed that their supporters have a great sense of pride in their recent achievements and (devil's advocate alert) perhaps a fresh start from square one is what this club needs in the long run. It's only football.

One question....why hasn't one....not one.....high profile ex-Saints player (apart from David Armstrong)....put their head above the parapet, either verbally, financially or figure-headed-ly, to help save our club? It gives the impression that they don't care when push comes to shove. And I'm sure it's not an impression they would want to give....

Too late...I just did....

Some quality multi-quoting techniques on this thread.

Words you seldom hear.... "Hey, Torbay mate, that scanner I was looking for....Finally found it. You should have a picture of that Morgan article to post any minute now"

I realised this 12 months ago and posted words to that effect. I recall being soundly ridiculed

How do you know?

:confused:..

What exactly did the people who protested against, and refused to pay, the poll tax achieve?

Bugger...we had a 'guess the ex-spurs player who might buy saints' competition last month...so near yet do far...

Hmmm.....share price now down 1.25p today....or, more significantly -7.14%. Biggest one day drop I've seen during 'normal trading' (i.e. excluding those times when we've just come out of a 'bid situation' status) http://www.londonstockexchange.com/en-gb/pricesnews/prices/system/detailedprices.htm?sym=GB0007922114GBGBXAIMI0792211SOO

Why are almost all 5 figure trades round numbers....? Surely if it was a minor shareholder the numbers would be more 'random'?

Do we get to meet Nineteen Canteen in the boardroom afterwards?

It's a fair point though? Moyes at the time had achieved limited success as manager of Preston and, as you can see from some of the Everton fan's reaction at the time, there was a mixed reaction to the appointment, with many saying that the appointment signalled a lack of ambition at the club. Whatever one's view of Lowe (and I'm admittedly in the anti camp) I don't think there was anywhere near a guarantee at the time that Moyes would turn into the decent manager we see today. Just an observation.

Some mixed Everton fans views on here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/sports_talk/1868992.stm at the time of his appointment.

Lowe's biggest 'mistake'? No humility. IMHO

Regardless of the outcome?

Wasn't Moyes a relative unknown entity managament wise at the time though? OK, he guided Preston to the play-offs but I seem to recall Everton fans shrugging their shoulders when he was appointed. I don't defend Lowe on here too often, but how was he to know that Moyes would turn from a relative unknown into a revered manager and that Wigley, Gray, etc wouldn't take the same elevatory path? An element of hindsight needed by Lowe here perhaps? .

Saintlee: They have the internet in Hull

Does Herdman have a scanner in his loft?

Is he still up there?
