BARCELONASAINT

Please don't tempt fate!! He fully deserves it this season. He is the main reason we are not already relegated.

100% agree with you mate.

Well i must admit that i find the echo article quite positive. This is the first sign that RL actually would consider quitting for a lot less money than he has previously asked for. One look at the share price speaks for itself, hoovering only just above 20p a share. Lowe and Wilde really are on the verge of not only taking this once proud club into the abyss but also losing every penny they have in the club. Easy for me to say i know but £6 Million is nothing in this day and age. If there was ever a serious Saints fan/ consortium out there that wanted to buy Saints NOW is the time to step forward.

The only other thing i know about him is he was also acting as some sort of advisor for Vodaphone UK, so football was not his only interests.

He had clearly known LOWE for quite some time and spoke about an attempt LOWE had previously made to get in a Dutch manager that had had not come to fruition.....think this was prior to Strachan although i stand to be corrected. He was a very agitated man on this occasion but mainly because PORTALLO's flight had been delayed and they were going to miss the match(it was a home game on a Saturday) He clearly new what he was talking about as everything he told me came to fruition about 5 months later.

This is the guy i told you all about last year that i met at Southampton airport waiting for LOWE and PORTALOO. If you remember i said at the time this guy was in negotiations with LOWE to bring PORTALOO to SMS and that was 3/4 months before LOWE himself returned.

I think everyone should calm down and not get their hopes up too much that we are about to see some massive change at SMS, i really can't see it happening. Unless LOWE has lost complete support from the board and all his loyal allies i cannot see him stepping down.

Ah see you have identified the problem so well. I only hope to god that Southampton fans are not the only bunch of dimwit fans in the land!! It's what ****es me off so much about our fans, everything is black and white.....sometimes i really believe we totally deserve the s h i t we are in.

The club gets what it pays for!!

You are probably right but it's not his fault that he was offered the job and told you have a bunch of kids at your disposal and no money to spend....oh and it gets better...we will also sell the better players or loan them out to our rivals.....

We have had many low points as fans of this club recently but now we have sunk to yet another. I don't care how ****ed off fans are that we losing yet again....this is not JP fault, he is playing the players at his disposal the ones the board are dictating he has to choose from. JP is an honest bloke and puts his hands up when he has personally got it wrong.........who doesn't though???? I think we all know the answers!!

As we seem to be doing the ex Saints players thing i thought how about the managers. Now we have seen a lot come and go in recent times and i have thought about this long and hard....ok a nano second and my candidate for worst/ most hated manager is.................................................................Redcrapp!

What that man must have seen in his 108 years. Outstanding to have reached such an age. Bet he wondered why he and his fellow comrades fought in 2 World wars for when he looked around and saw the sorry state this Country has plummeted too.

I've read this thread with some amusement to say the least with all the differing views. Firstly i'll say that i have no religion and that i find the bible wholly unbelievable as the 4 gospels totally contradict one another. For my part the whole middle East conflict just goes to show what so called religious values drags man down to gutter level. There is a very strong argument that the so called "chosen land given by God to Jacobs descendants" is not that that is lived in now. (not that for one minute i believe this ever happened anyway) It amazes me that so many jump up and down and totally blame Israel for whats going on. The West has to be the most jumped up hypocritical arseholes in the entire world. Remind me what did the UK do when Argentina invaded the Falklands???? What did the Americans do when 9/11 happened???? Israel has a right to defend itself against a terrorist organization and that is precisely what they are doing and good luck to them.

LOL, sorry i can confirm it was the Skates one!!

Can tell you that Peter Storey came into Southampton on a private plane 2 days ago in the company of ex Spurs and Watford player Ramon Vega. Nothing todo with Saints i'm sure as Vega is into hotels nowadays and a football academy. As silly season has started again just thought i'd add my tuppence worth;)

Ah the united fan base i see :smt084 Joking apart, i completely agree with you Delldays. It resembles a kindergarten on here sometimes!

And that in a nutshell sums up why i hardly ever bother posting on this site anymore. Posters that live in a dream world and are only content to find the bad in whatever comes out of ST MARYS. Of course he wants our players value to grow, as would any other chairman of a football club that does not have some rich benefactor. How in gods earth do you expect a club like Southampton to survive. Almost every club in the land outside maybe 6 clubs IS A SELLING CLUB.

Thank you Trousers that would be the player then

Not seen this mentioned anywhere else yet. I heard on the radio this morning (WAVE) that we are about to make a loan signing of a 19 year old Everton defender that has played at International level for Englands under 19's. He is said to want first team football and we are lined up to sign him. Really sorry i didn't catch his name but i'm sure someone will have heard apart from me.

Cps = cant prosecute ****

OK i'm a yes this week

lol, i must have missed that....however it did get very dark and its possible Rob took advantage of this :smt005

The general apathy with Saints is a spreading disease which so far appears incurable. I used to post on here regularly but now hardly ever because i just dont care anymore. Saturdays come and i look forward to playing my own football and hardly bat an eyelid about the Saints score. My wife thinks i've been replaced by an alien, i used to swear and get really angry over results like Saturdays but now it's a case of "oh well" I'll always support Saints but the passion has gone

ok i will be there, only played yesterday so me legs are ok
