Its all a question of personal choice, as far as most supporters are concerned we have a personal view on those who run our club and the reasons that they hold those positions. Not just because they hold shares in the case of Lowe, its because HE is supported by a number of other shareholders. Lowe has claimed that he has more experience than the others at running a business and in particular one which is involved in football in the past. Wilde has been successful in house building and Crouch in Engineering. Who do you trust ? is it Lowe based on past history...Wilde based on his disasterous introduction of the executives? or the short time that Crouch was in charge. Probably its a toss up between Crouch (the more rounded experienced businessman ) or Lowe who cleverly or deviously engineered the reverse takeover. My opinion is based on trust and I would be very happy to see a more experienced Crouch back with the assistance of someone like Saltz. The real problem is that each faction or combination has its own supporters, therefore in looking at alternatives there is really no sure fire winner. Not a soul at the moment stands a chance at unifying the customers and bringing them back through the gates. Administration for me is the best option.

Its the stadium millstone of £25 million plus a further £8 Million debt. Not very good value considering we are not Premiership

I hope that you are right

You might be right Steve...personally I don't think so. Lowe must know that in the event that he and his chums buy all the shares it would have a massive affect on attendances. Possibly not THIS season, but next. The number of season ticket renewals would be down dramatically as would the number of tickets sold matchdays and prior to match day would deminish. In all honesty even Lowe must now realise that his time is well and truly up in the eyes of the average "customer". You cannot force people to like you anymore than you can force people to buy tickets. The only real option left IMO is for Crouch to get more involved financially and bring someone like Mr Saltz

I guess its now got to be like the captain of the Titanic looking for the next iceberg to steer the ship at. We are in deep trouble, I can see no point in pouring more money into a bucket with a giant hole in it. Unless your name is Lowe, its time to either move over and let someone else put money in in return for his shares or call in the Administrators. Lowe has not just got a massive ego but his pride will not let him admit that he is again out of his depth

Um this would mean writing off a seriously large chunk of money...would YOU be prepared to do that? As much as I dislike the man, I cannot see anyone doing this...Call it waiting for the last throw of the dice or spin of the wheel...Lowe has nothing to lose.

This topic is pointless , since Lowe would NEVER admit that he has made a mistake in bringing in portaloo and playing youth. There were alternatives a combination of youth and experience. Sadly Lowe bet all on youth...as hard as they try...they are not ready. This will be our downfall

Miaow !

Tell me...what is it like to be sooo perfect?. You must be exceedingly boring

There are times in life when you have to have faith...there are times in life, when for your own peace of mind you have to become less of a sceptic. Perhaps at my age and time of life I have now reached that point. Not any person on here is without a personal view or opinion. Much is discussed on the basis of ones ability to weigh up who is the most trustworthy and who is an egocentric. All we can hope is that those we deem to be trustworhty are sure of the facts that they report from their side of the canyon

Spot on at last, now I would not expect that Saltz will invest, however having identified our female ex employee listen to what she and Morph are trying to tell you. Believe me that they are both closer to the action than any of us are ...with one or two exceptions. We are in deep sheet, Administration is a small step away...but so is survival with the help of both the Bank and certain individuals like Mr Saltz. His city contacts are something that Lowe could only dream of having, I am NOT suggesting he will organise a buy out or investment, but he knows the right people and some that may be able to offer some sort of help, whatever that may be. just my humble opinion of course ..as Morph would say.

Getting warmer...Only my opinion I know nothing!

No better...or worse...than some of your summations

You have my respect...Still.... I hope that you are correct. Leon is the only fan on the board

You are no where near warm. I know for a fact its NOT david Jones

In what way are you able to deduce that to quote you..things are begining to settle. Is it the unexpected one off win away last weekend ?

My personal view and I know absolutely nothing from inside...Wilde is getting desperate, his own finances are in meltdown, very soon he will off load his shares to the first person to come up with an offer that minimises another loss. The question is...is there anyone out there prepared to make an offer that would give Wilde some of his investment back?

The late great Ted bates, Lawrie Mac , jim Steele and Peter Osgood ,Alan Ball et al...always had time to talk to supporters ,even if it was tedious, they never showed it. Played golf with Osgood and Jim Steele they were great

I don't...I only know the man, having been in his company many times in the executive suites

The trouble with Lowe is attitude and arrogance...he defers to nobody...when you deal with banks you have to have tact and diplomacy...something lacking in Lowe. Go i9n all guns blazing and you are stuffed !!

I believe a total of 6 self formed individuals including FF

Accounts late so they can get all their ducks in a row, and blame Crouch for everything that is not right. Fiddling while Rome burns or just fiddling ?? I smell cooking!!

I concur with this, which as far as I am concerned mirrors my own views

Roman not having a go at you at all. What I cannot understand because I am a very simple country boy is...why do some of you guys have to turn things personal. I find it unbelievable that something lighthearted as a fan message board is taken so personally over the way opinions are expressed, disected and replied to. The only time that I have ever reacted in this way was over SOS and I was proven subsequently to be right. Frankly your own personal views are such, that the next day they can be completely reversed.
