"The former Feyenoord technical director praised the commitment of his players with a mention for those currently on the periphery of the first team." Hmmm.....Sounds like Wotte's being bigged up in preparation for his impending promotion....?

Wouldn't any "real" fan also want Lowe not to be at the club either? The question was posing a hypothetical scenario: Administration or Lowe being the only mutually exclusive choices. We can debate the validity of said hypothesis until the cows come home but that's not the point of the question (IMHO).

If the answer to that is "they wouldn't" then why did they come back in the first place 9 months ago?

Exactly...so that just leaves administration then.....

$64,000 question: How else?

Another crap analogy alert.... I want the current regime out of 10 Downing Street. I thus direct my criticism at Bottler Brown rather than Tony B-liar because the Bottler happens to be in the hot seat at the moment.

Quite possibly, but I believe the question was asking about another hypothetical chain of events.

I took the question as asking whether you would take the hit on admin/relegation IF the only way to achieve this was if Lowe departed. I agree there are probably more likely chronologies but I believe it was the thinking behind the question nonetheless. Maybe

Yes ref: amputation of gammy leg analogy

Saga's last goal for Saints in the 2-1 defeat at home to Doncaster. Could even be the last SFC goal ever... Cheery enough?!

With the pieces of jigsaw at my disposal (although admittedly I have lost the lid to the box....literally), I suspect that 'he' is not a "PR plant" in the sense that they are 'under instructions' from anyone....but along similar lines I suspect.....but, that's only a guess and/or an opinion of course....what do I know....?

Depends if you put the question into context or not.... In principle, do I want my left leg amputated? No, of course not. Do I want to stop the gangrene spreading from my left leg to the rest of my body? Yes. Ok, amputate my left leg please.

Amen

Friday 13th March knowing SFC....

It'll be the third time that'll hurt the most....

Nice choice of picture to accompany the article though...complete with subliminal "PA" message....

I was pondering as recently as yesterday why Mr Sale seemed to write about SFC's "boardroom warfare" every other week whilst Crouch was at the helm and yet has had 'nothing to report' since Lowe returned..... Didn't post my musings here though as it would have been too rhetorical and/or dull given the alleged friendship between Mssrs Lowe and Sale. From what I understand (which is as likely to be 'nothing' as 'something') we can take this piece in the Mail today as coming from the horse's mouth.... Perhaps the most significant paragraph published about SFC nationally in recent times?

Indeed. Have been bandying around that theory for a while now. It could be structured such that Hoddle doesn't actually become an employee per se (and therefore doesn't become the straw that breaks the camel's back in term of debts/costs/administration) as his academy would get mutual benefit from a tie in with a (relatively) major football club. All fits in logically....

Will what was said be kept as private as the player's wages were?

Hmmm....Perhaps that would explain his whereabouts at the weekend? Where did he go again....? Scotland...? 2+2=?

Aye...even Mr Lowe turned up for that one....

You "understand"? Were you not there to witness it then? Still, you're in good company on the non-attendee front.... p.s. enjoying Utah and the film festival?

And still no explanation as to why Saturday's performance/result merited giving the players two days off. Hmmm...some fight...

I still don't understand how someone with such a relatively small stake in the club (I.e. £300k or 5% of capital ?) maintains such a grip on the running of this club. Can anyone explain this to me? Ta
