Give it to Ron

On 3 previous occasions this club has promoted from within with abject failure ...why will it work on the 4th occasion?

Probably a lot better off than we are than with your idol...name me all the things he has done that have worked since his return? Manager Coach ST Crowd Revenue Local Business Improvement in finanaces Squad improvements Investment Yet Crouch brought in a manager that united the majority of the club and its supporters. Additional revenue in hospitality. Wright, Lucketti, Perry certainly improved our defence. Cut wage bill with Skacel/Rasiak out on loan. Ok he ****ed up the Dodd/Gorman but compared to old rosey cheeks 10 managers he didnt do bad to get it right whereas Lowe stumbles on blindly.

You missed a bit......that he has managed to hang on to or wanted to...but I guess he has just been unlucky that all his Eglish/Scottish managers eventually found their spritual homes ;-)

So you are going to resign today then and take your minder with you?

I remember you stating you would be angry and upset if Pearson wasnt kept on though Nick...its what this club does under Lowe it destroys any chance of building anything and I fail to see why anyone supports him given his history. He is the anti-Midas. Perhaps JP has gone back to his spiritual home and another not Ruperts fault.

The 2 are not separate though John are they......we have management that have overseen 1 win in 14 and they come out with continuity. I hope the striker is better than Roberton, Peckhart, Gasmi, Pulis and Forecast signings.

Nick we have crossed swords on a few occasions...welcome to the darkside or is it brighter now you have finally seen the light? No pleasure for any of us in JP's failure but many of could see it weeks ago but to go for Wotte......and Judas coward Wildes statement is unbelievable !!

Continuity...absolutely fcking unbelievable.....how the fck can you talk about continuity at Southampton!!! You want to continue with this shambles of a management 1 win in 14 yeah lets continue doing the same things!

Interesting bit hidden here .....ties with 2 different people have stated to me he is returning totally unrelated people as well.

As I say I like your posts but be careful that you are not being used as a pawn in the game as you are a respected fan on here and have a lot to lose. I think tonite is the straw that has broke the camels back for loveable old rosey cheeks.

What is permanenet at Saints? FF I think you should temper this a bit - I enjoy your posts but you are giving false hope to a load of people that have constantly had hopes raised and then shat on so often. I know you mean well but please unless is good and solid news please hold back.

Plus have a look at this especially the relegation bit great eh.. http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/netherlands/rkc-coach-wotte-resigns-89382/ Sources say Wotte was unpopular at Feyenoord and some at the club were happy to see him go. He has been blamed for their failings, with many of the players he has brought in not living up to expectation. Wotte is not regarded as a coach of any great ability but will fit into the structure planned by Lowe and Woodward. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/football-league/dutch-manager-lined-up-by-saints-520362.html

He would not of made Wotte Head Coach if Hoddle was coming back would he.

I have 100 and I am in the "get rid of all 3 " camp. Our camp is a nice row of pretty pink tents.

PS He liked Steve McLaren's Dutch interview so much he is getting a framed picture to put on the boardroom wall.

Back on first week in Feb.

But its Ok because JP, Wotte, Gorre and the new DOF are being paid less than Nigel and Hockaday would of cost.

You think that keeping Pearson with existing backroom staff, appointing a neutral CEO reporting to him in the background and the board, ensuring we dont totally rely on the academy and ruining the good work by promoting them before they are ready would not of been met with approval?

I would be surprised if your average football fan didnt know about the ridiculous wages they were paying Benito Carbone and one reason why they went tits up!

As usual good post from you but this is what ****es most of us off...we were fed the line Pearson was too expensive - OK given he may of needed back room staff but we could of utilised existing Hockaday and Henderson more as at the moment it looks athough they are being wasted. Now we have Wotte, Gorre and an alleged DOF on the bill. We have seen 5 loan signings who are quite frankly abysmal standard. I have seen them all play several times and there were better options 2 that would not of cost the earth Lucketti(even at his age far better than Lancashire) and Andy Bishop from Bury who was one of the best strikers I saw last season. I cannot see how anyone can defend Lowe(not that you are) when I fail to see anything he has done since his return has worked.

Really?? you missed all the Geoffrey Richmond stuff then ...surprising

In the couple of reserve games I have seen - the other person that is as well is Jason Euell and he really helps out the kids. Both have done nothing but encourage, advise and support the kids in the games I have watched at Staplewood.

Nope unlike you I don't begrudge anyone not willing to pay £24 if they cannot afford it. In life there are differeing priorities and paying a large sum of money a season on something that is a shocking product and value for money comes lower for some people. These people still follow Saints on the radio/TV/forums/newspapers but cannot afford to go to SMS...is that their fault? Had I not been a season ticket holder for a number of years I would probably of not bothered many times this season and just gone to watch the reserves for nothing - last week there were 8 out of the 11 starters who were first teamers this season. The product is not worth £24!

I find it quite strange that people still think we all just blame Lowe when there are many threads blaming everyone but... Personally I blame everyone bar the fans....this season.
