Talking of reality checks you seem to think it's a piece of cake to take over a nosediving club and get it to instantly turn around. Well in the real world I'm afraid it's not. By the time Redknapp arrived the damage had been done, we were spiralling downwards and better managers than Redknapp would have struggled to pull us out of the Lowe orchestated mess we found ourselves in. Morale was really low, confidence was low, results were poor (anyone remember seeing us get stuffed at Watford in the Carling cup? I do and it was humiliating) and there (to me at least) appeared to be an air of resigned apathy about the whole place. I remember seeing his 1st game in charge at White Hart Lane and we were hammered, it was embarrasing to watch. Even at that stage of the season I can remember thinking to myself that our prem status was touch and go and as it turned out it was 'go'. When he actually had a close season to get his team together I thought he did a really good job considering Lowe had completely tied his hands behind his back. IMO all we needed was the striker to bag us 15-20 goals, someone like Rasiak or Nugent would have cost 2-3M and would have made the difference. But you-know-who couldn't see this and refused to sanction funds. We then collapsed half way through the season, never to recover. It was at this point that my patience with Lowe snapped.

Coming back a 2nd time to finish off his demolition of SFC. After that his refusal to provide Redknapp with sufficient funds in the first relegation season. I saw us batter teams in the 1st half of that season (Reading (h), Ipswich (a) to name but 2) without ever scoring the crucial goals. Not surprising when all Lowe was willing to spend was 90k on Fuller. If Lowe had sanctioned funds for a decent striker having lost BT, Crouch and Phillips (and trousered a heap of cash) then I believe we would have been promoted at the first attempt and things would have been very different. Once again the useless fool thought we could function on the cheap and in the process made a disastrous strategic decision.

I think What? would be well advised to just shut up and concentrate on getting results. That really is all that matters now.

When I think of Nicholl I think of a forward line of Wallace/Shearer/Le Tissier. We leaked goals but scored more, it was awesome entertainment. Ahhhhhhh good times....and the name Rupert Lowe meant nothing to anyone.

Well done to all those who attended, really good stuff. I hope you can keep the pressure on as I can't see Lowe life going without a big fight. Still boycotting myself but going to Watford next Sat. Up the Saints - f**k off Lowe.

The Ipswich pair were Arnold Muhren and Frans Thijssen. Both very good midfielders in a very good Ipswich team (2nd in div 1 for 2 seasons in a row). Anyway, this Dutch bloke doesn't sound too bad.

At least some of the fans have woken up........

It's an Indian takeover? I had one of those last night. Bloomin delicious.

It felt to me that Man U could have scored as many as they wanted against a neutered SFC. I have read on here that 3-0 wasn't a bad score. The reason why it wasn't a bad score is because it was the scoreline that Man U decided they were happy with. We had no say in it whatsoever, we were helpless bystanders. It would have made a much more interesting spectacle for us to have been awarded a 10 goal start and to see if Man U could have overhauled us.

I'm sure it's what most of us fully expected, it's exactly what I expected. United had no axe to grind, we are nothing to them, they just wanted the job to be done and then to get out. 3-0 was a perfect score - give us a good thumping without totally humiliating us. Men vs boys I'm afraid. I don't blame the players or even the manager as they are trying, albeit ineffectively. No, the neutering of a once competitive SFC lies firmly at the feet of Lowe and his doomed vision. As for JPs views, they made me squirm. The red card was totally justified as it was potentially a leg breaking challenge. As for the pen I thought it was debateable. However if you are stupid enough to raise your arm in the penalty area when the ball hits you then you are asking for trouble, hopefully a lesson learnt. Oh well, back to the championship we go.

Pretty much agree with that, 3-0 to Unt within 30 mins and then they ease up. They have no reason to humiliate us, we seem perfectly capable of doing that to ourselves. Lowe Out.

Best of luck to the lad and thanks for the decent work he put in at the back for half a season. Also thanks to Chelsea for letting us have him in the first place. It's a shame that Chairman Lowe didn't arrive on loan as he would have already been sent back marked as 'Damaged Goods'. Lowe Out.

Rupes, if I can get her to sign I think I've just found our next manager.....

Talking of KK it's amazing recalling the names of big name players that Lawrie Mac did sign: KK, Shilton, Dave Watson, Charlie George, Peter Osgood, Mick Mills........ Lawrie really was an awesome manager.

Walk out the doors of SMS and never come back......

I'm sure all the happy clappies are thinking '4 points from Reading and only 18 points away from the playoffs.............isn't Lowe a super duper chairman'. Lowe out.

If you want real managerial change you have to start with those that do the appointing. You can shout for a new manager but until Lowe goes we will stumble from one disastrous appointment to the next...........

Exactly, you have to be ready to apply huge financial pressure and grind the shareholders down till they get rid of him. Be prepared for a massive fight. The other 'one off' suggestions on here are just fluff which Lowe and his faceless backers will laugh at.

As a fan the biggest hit you can deal Lowe\Wilde is to withdraw funds. Its a crying shame to have to go down this route but its just about all you have. By all means vote against the current regime but you will be playing their game and won't make much of an effect.

Just noticed that Nigel Pearson's Leicester thumped Peterborough 4-0 this afternoon to go 4 points clear at the top of div 1. He was our bloody manager until Mr Lowe had one of his regular brain farts. Lowe must go, he is destroying us. That's why I'm going to keep on applying the financial tourniquet ; I won't back Lowe to kill this club.

Changing managers will not improve anything while Lowe is making the decisions I'm afraid. You want to kill the snake? Remove its head.

Until Lowe goes - or he undoes the damage he created - many fans like myself will not set foot inside SMS. Lowe could change this situation at a stroke but somehow I don't think he will, therefore I'm in for the long haul. At some point you have to take a stand.

It's a shame the ever popular and brilliant Lowe didn't tell us what the average attendance is now compared with seasons past........ LOL at the man's delusional arrogance.
