That is what I heard, it's the reason for thread, I just wanted to cross reference with other sources.

It's not on Daily Echo or the official site. Sounds very unlikely.

2 sessions a day?

Believe what you like. It is happening. SCW quoted in self justification regarding training. Skacel has said unless he went to Ipswich, RL told him he would never play for us again. Hertha wanted him, I have a source in Berlin who told me the club's demands scuppered the move. McGoldrick hasn't been substituted and is picked every game no matter how he plays.

They know he won't come.

You are right about Barclays, getting sticky there I think. You are wrong about the training and the team.

This thread has pretty much confirmed what's going on, because of the identity of the posters there is more than interference. It sounds that policy has been dictated. The Skacel issue seems to be pretty much clarified, we are not allowed to play him. The McGoldrick rumour appears to have substance. How is the overdraft fairing in all this? I've heard the bank isn't happy any more. Unless there is internal investment, and we know where that isn't going to come from, there will definitely be players going.

Apologies, memory playing tricks, straight after the Lions tour.

Didn't SCW join the club straight after the Rugby World Cup. DoF later.

Decisions, he will/won't play, employees do as they are told.

They have, but won't put their names to it. Longshot is on target.

Don't be daft. I need to know if the source is trustworthy before I post but you don't. If the sources are revealed they will run for cover.

Read Longshot's thread, he is close to the action.

I have no problem with Lowe and finances, but he is according to people in the club, influencing selection/non selection and training, that is madness.

What? like the double training sessions and Clive Woodward says they can handle it, response to opposition.

I have a trusted source in the British Embassy in Berlin who confirmed this to me on July 18th. My information is that Lowe won't allow Skacel to be picked and that he was only sub the other night as we were down to the bare bones.

Better when wide, but doesn't seem to be able to hit a cows arse with a banjo.

It's going to be alright:smt023

Huffton has obviously heard the same criticisms that I have. I just wanted to check if others have similar sources.

You've obviously heard the same rumours. (see my thread)

The two centrebacks played square, neither dropped off to give cover, the last fullback didn't drop in to cover. Defenders let the ball bounce too many times, instead of attacking it. No marking at set pieces. What was the header back across goal about. Our free kicks were just gifts to the Watford defence. All their free kicks and corners into the six yd box were dangerous. We didn't win the ball and they won the knockdowns. We never won the second ball anywhere. When is Kelvin Davis going to take charge of the six yd box, clear our defenders out and punch or catch the ball. Instead of just standing on the line. Opponents are causing us problems because they know this. McGoldrick runs in at 45 degrees and scuffs the replayed Coventry penalty, like me the Watford keeper knew where it was going. Surman should be given the job for the rest of the season.

Anybody know?

Unless the rules have changed it is 90 days. Has to stay overnight which counts as one day. If he flies in, in the morning at 0730 and flies back 12 hours later it doesn't count.

This whole issue is absolute hogwash. People aren't going anymore, primarily because of the utterly drab football last season. I believe we are four to five thousand season tickets down on last season. Rupert Lowe has little significance. A small number of diehard anti Lowe agitators make a lot of noise, but it is the same few. Secondary effects are the economy, the tv results, results in general. If we continue in the same vein with respect to results, then the attendance won't improve. Unless we go on an unbeaten run, move right up the table, play attractive football and win convincingly on tv there will be no change. If Lowe and Wilde leave and nothing else changes crowds will still be the same.

So you don't rate our most talented player. Lallana.
