Give it to Ron

It was also mentioned on Radio Hampshire 9am bulletin that the 2 were going to be questioned by Hampshire police - this news came from the police I think she said.

Then compounded it by promoting within.......

..and what about Gorre and van Waals???? Pearson could of used Hockaday so there are extra savings there!

But what about bringing in Gorre, Van Waals as well though hardly saving any money with 4 is it? Plus now gardening leave for Hockaday (who could of been Pearsons assistant) and Webster.

Very good at the level he is playing at although as others have shown this season its a bit of a jump to the first team. A bit lightweight but in the games I have seen far more promising than Smith.

Santana/Floyd/Keane and Snow Patrol.....but more likely to be Lulu and Elton again ;-)

I heard they were after a proven Premiership manager like Sturrock.

With all due respect are The Specials likely to fill a 32k stadium?

Even if he did ask for that salary which is rubbish as he was earning 100k less than Burley - we had the Scottish FA compensation that would of offset this against. Do you believe our opening gate would of been 14k with the Pearson feel good factor? But no as we spoke about earlier we go for the cheap option again and look where we are......Lowe is a good businessman my arse!

We know someone called Barry that would suit your club superbly!

Spot on about the cheapskates thing and the reason we are where we are 4 times now and still we never ever learn. I thought Moyes never came because he could not bring in his own trainers as we did not want to get rid of Rofe etc that was the story I heard?

Yep dead right its not as if the club didn't have any history to look back on is it Gray, Wigley. We would never ever do that again would be.....hold on though....

I was given a free ticket for Bournemouth v Gillingham and left with 20 minutes to go as it was appalling standard and I had a bad neck looking up all the time with all the hoofball. God help us next season in league 1. At present there is no way I am renewing my 2 STs as I just come away angry/frustrated and not enjoying what this management are serving up and feel £500+ is a joke for the way we have been treated. I am not saying I will not go again just at the moment am to angry.

That is complete re-writing of what happened according to Mary Corbett interview last week and I think she probably know more about this than you. Pearson was never told he had been sacked/replaced/contract terminated - his agent called him the day after his interview and asked Pearson why he not told him the contract was not being renewed - Pearson did not know and only got a text from Lowe the following day telling him if he wanted to talk about the reasons why he was being replaced then to call loveable old rosey cheeks. The agent had read that the 2 Dutch guys were coming in via the internet.

Only because no other sane football club will have him!! Advocating violence now Nineteen tut tut especially after all you have posted about this topic!

Don't start me on Nilsson having watched him in the Euros before we signed him it was soo obvious he was no good for the English league - never before have I seen a player play 4 games without tackling once! The whole Hoddle thing is pie in the sky though, who knows if Sturrock had stayed 4 more games we may have had enough points going by his win ratio. Loads of other ifs and buts if we did not lose Paul Smith in a training ground incident and have to play Blayney etc and we wouldn't of had to put up with 800 posts bleating the same thing that is based on pure conjecture. Its the same as Pearson isn't it we will never know....if only we had appointed Moyes when we had the chance!

But that is the whole point against that nut job Dalek...there were loads of other choices Alain Perrin being one touted for the job but we did what we always do here and go for the cheap option. Guess what ...we did it again recently to prove that loveable old rosey cheeks never ever learns by his mistakes!

Airbrushed from history hahahhahaha your the embarassing one mate with 99.9% of your posts bleating the same over and over again. There were many other choices around at that time who we could of chosen not just your pin up who has been a failure in every job bar rhe one he did here.

Euell/BWP/Paterson/My old Nan who has been dead for 10 years. It just may act as the kick up the arse he needs as there is nothing like competition for places to make you play better - unfortunately McG doesn't have any competition for his place it seems so continues to be ineffective. As a reserve watcher I had this feeling years ago that McG would be deemed lazy as he has one of those lazy gaits and at times loks as though he doesn't care. At times this year that lazy gait has at times seemed to be an excuse.

I would rather have Sturrock than JP or Wotte.

My pick continues to be what I stated above either: a) all gone and never come back b) all stay in the background and have an independant CEO run things. Thats not totally ridding us of the academy philosophy but bringing in a decent manager who will get us out of this mess at home. We pay for all this by getting rid of the useless coaching staff we have - Wotte, Gorre, Van Waals plus Rupert and Cowans salaries. I wonder what happened to the compnesation we received for Burley - gone to the overdraft I suppose.

So if Crouch had delivered the investment by waiting so long that would of been wrong....20/20 hindsite is great isn't it. Crouch believed Fulthorpe/Cousins were going to deliver.....so did many people on here and over the last 3 years from several tyrekickers including Wilde! Whereas Rupert has been consistent and never delivered any decent investment in his tenure.

But the timing of the statement for the handover was abysmal and carried out via local radio, press etc. so no different than now and as mentioned above Chalie Sale did his bit. As for the EGM bit well Rupert didnt exactly go easy last time did he so why would Crouch of done any different - although I think they both had reasons. A) Lowe was waiting for Crouch to make his mind up which side B) Crouch was waiting for Fulthorpe/Cousins.....and still waiting ;-) I still believe we would of been far better off with all 3 working together or even just being reported to by a proper independant CEO and all way out of the limelight. Funded by Cowan and Lowes wages they are currently drawing. I still believe in Utopia though when all 3 are banished for good!

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/football_league/article3665879.ece So he was trying to stabilise the club last season but when others are trying this season thats wrong......oh yeah I get it.

Did Rupert not do exactly that last season? Double standards there Jonah!
