The worrying thing is that the right manager can imbue a team in his own image. Hard, incisive, unbeatable spirit, (remember;)). This bunch are superficial politicians.

Bill, I couldn't believe the team the Twotte picked. Wotton can't pass, isn't particularly mobile, and fouls all the time, No Skacel, one up front, McGoldrick, Lallana is a busted flush at the moment and doesn't rate a place. Saganowski on the bench, he's the only one able to play the lone striker effectively. As soon as I heard the team I thought another disaster coming up. This looks like a man who doesn't know what makes a team, no blend and more multichanges for the next two months.

The approximate shareholding position is 41 shareholders own 81% and 4000 shareholders own 19%. Of the 41 shareholders more than half are in nominee companies and not even named.

Interviewed with Perry on Sky Sports. He said that if formations aren't producing results it's stupid to stick with them, obviously look at other systems. Sounds like he was distancing himself from the system rigidity we have been suffering.

Hands up those who sing, 'Who are you' and 'one nil, one nil' at the away supporters and shut up when the equaliser goes in five mins later.

No there isn't, the fans didn't kick off until the second half of the Doncaster game, for thirteen and a half league games, plus cup games the fans have supported the team, for all the difference it made. **** poor tactics, and the teams inability to keep a decent shape was the problem.

Rupert Lowe is so widely disliked, that the club won't be able to move on until he goes. He is so detached from the supporters that they have no respect for him.

Didn't Lowe get agreement by a majority of the board but didn't go ahead because he wanted a unanimous decision.

It was very obvious at the Doncaster game, the focus of the demonstrators was Rupert Lowe out.

It means Crouch is the only solution, (a no brainer-obvious), not what you thought.

The only job in SFC that Lowe has any competence is financial. He's a bloody banker FFS, he has no training/background in running anything to do with people, except the years he financially manipulated the football club and alienated most of the population of Hampshire with the exception of Portsmouth.

FFS Crouch is a no brainer as Chairman.

Howmany penalties have we missed this season? 3? How many free kicks have we scored? 0 How many tap ins pretty close to 0

Maybe they did or knew sombody who has.

He's got to be better than anybody we've got up front at the moment. He looked good for Sheff Utd and Swansea.

Clever snide comment, The 10 managers who left weren't treated shabbily either 'despite weeks to prove themselves'

I don't think he meant 'unpleasant'. More like unfortunate.

I've looked in the OS archive and can't find anything, it was in the Echo, just the bare facts, as for van de Waals, there has been nothing, the only unmasking was on here. Funny business and no joke, you really couldn't make it up.

There was a statement somewhere that he was on gardening leave.

I was thinking similar things myself, I don't see this unholy alliance as anything but a marriage of convenience, uneasily tenuous at the best. The present situation must be putting it under pressure. If there is a big demonstration, a poor performance, and a big kickoff on the 31st that will add more pressure.

Thanks, I wonder if there is any difference of opinion between Wilde and Lowe, and whether Wilde is getting concerned about the state of the experiment and the public opposition beginnining to take shape.

I wonder though Ron, what he is doing if anything behind the scenes, to be ready in the event of circumstances getting out of control.

Wilde's shares are the key to the kingdom. Whoever has them rules SLH.

Seem to remember the Dutch were involved there too. Look how long that lasted.

The Echo says the press conference is to introduce Wotte to the media.
