I remember queuing up to get the players's autographs after that match. A young lad came up to Bailey after that match and asked for his autograph and Bailey replied "you won't boo me will you ??" I bet he had.

I think that it is wonderful After all isn't it great news that we can beat Lewes reserves 2-0?? What more do the ungrsteful fans want???

A few goals from Saga.... I am sure that Saga could get them. But will he be allowed to play under the "Revolutionary Coaching setup"? Wotte seems to regard McGoldrick as being higher in the pecking order. He replaced Saga at Bristol 15 mins from the end. I agree that Saga could do it for us... but will Wotte even play him ???

I repeat JOHN BAILEY

Its always funny at this time of day to read threads like this when Jonah has been active on the forum. He always disappears about 5.00pm - its as though his mother has called him in for tea and told him to stop messing around on that forum!! I wonder why he didn't answer the question to name another AGM where the chairman started the meeting by reading out a congratulatory letter. Perhaps he will answer it tomorrow when he is next allowed out to play.

I agree with a lot of what you say Nineteen. Administration is not the "Get out of Jail free" card that some like to think. Drawing comparisons with Aldershot and Bournemouth is not in my opinion that realistic but administration would set this club back many, many years. It should not be welcomed. However, why on earth do you still push the idea that Lowe and his cabal are the only option?? Are you really saying that he is the only person that Barclays Bank would trust with running this club?? The man who is likely to oversee two relegations in his last 3 years at the club?? If anything, I would suspect that Barclays will state that they will only continue to support this club if Lowe is removed!! They can surely see that the "revolutionary coaching plan" is ending up the same way as his other wacky ideas. Failed leaders are not welcomed by banks. Oh and by the way ... it is not debtors who you need to pay off. It is creditors. Debtors are the people who owe money to you.

Is that a male 3 inches or a female 3 inches??

I had to laugh.... well its better than crying!! Chelsea were lambasted this morning on the today programme because they have had 4 different managers in the last 57 months. "If you meet a man who is on his fifth wife, you don't wonder whats wrong with the ex wives. You wonder what is wrong with the man" was the comment. By my reckoning over the last 57 months we have had 7 wives not even counting Wise/Bassett and Dodd/Gorman. The today programme would definitely be sending us to the funny farm!!

This is where you lose it Jon. If you had to choose between Lowe or Crouch (why by the way do you think it is funny to refer to Crouch's "Wheel Tappers and shunters Club". You share the same taste in insults as your alto ego Sundance Beast) when it comes to business ability, I am afraid that your man loses it big time. Lets compare the most successful businessman on the South Coast who has made himself a multi millionaire with a daddy's boy whose firms are going bust.Hmmm that's a difficult one. I know who has the better business acumen ... and it ain't the man who put the bankrupt into Lowe and Oliver.

... and he must now be turning in his grave at our current predicament. He died in November 2003.....and it has been downhill ever since then!!!

I think the key word here is "Unofficially". Officialy he only started after the Lions tour. The news that he was coming however was an open secret. Everyone knew he was coming. As I said in an earlier post on this thread Gary Linekar even said that he was coming on Match of the Day's first programme of the 2004/5 season. So technically you are correct. He only turned up in the late summer of 2005. In practice you are not, as the shock of his appointment and the disruption that it caused was well known well before then.

You raise some interesting points. I do not know enough social workers / probation service people to be able to reply from a position of knowledge. However I do worry that we are now burning out our young stars. In expecting them to perform every week & take the criticism that they get, are we really doing the best for their long term development? Interestingly, the first thing that Wenger did when he bought Walcott was to rest him for the rest of that season. He recognised that the mental and physical pressures that he had been exposed to at Southampton was probably retarding his development. I wonder whether the same is true now of our youngsters. Lallana for example has not seemed the player he was at the start of the season. I am sure that he could do with a rest and the expectations on him to be lowered but a rest is not what he will get under Rupert's mad strategy. I would love to know what the young players think. Are they grateful for the chance to play in the first team .... or do they hate any criticism that they get and are they worried that they could suffer from burn out???

I wonder how many other fans would have been prepared to put up with the dross that has been served up this season? To my mind it was amazing last Tuesday night, when so many fans turned up despite the weather. It was obviously in hope rather than expectation yet we still cheered on our side. Most of us must need our heads examining for still turning up. We do turn up and we will but to turn the fans who have sufferd so much into scapegoats is laughable!!

Nineteen Canteen's story about the Donny game is so far from reality it is quite funny. Tell me, was this when you were called Nineteen Canteen or were you known as Sundance Beast in those days?? How is your young son now?? Do you have a made up wife as well??
-
... and maybe we could have afforded a proper manager like Pearson without these payoffs. :-) :-)

Can you give any details??

Excellent post. I would not hold my breath expecting a sensible answer from him if I were you.

Brilliant!!!!

Saints suffering but is there an alternative to Lowe
Tamesaint replied to NickG's topic in The Saints
Nickh You started off by saying that when Lowe left we had £m's in the bank. That is a fallacy that Lowe has started and is very misleading. -

Tamesaint replied to NickG's topic in The Saints
In the 2008 accounts he wrote: When I, and five of my fellow Directors, resigned from the Board in June 2006, in the hope that it would bring unity, we were required to warrant that there was £3.4m cash on deposit at Barclays Bank. His chairman's statement was certainly misleading. -

I have no idea of what we had in the bank on 29 June 2007 or 2008. Unless you are Dave Jones or work for Barclays Bank, I suspect that you do not know either. Cashflow planning is an important feature for any business. Companies can be in financial trouble but still have money in the bank if you choose a paticular day just after they have been paid and just before they have to make their major payments. I think that this was the situation on the day that Lowe left. Please do not say that I am obscuring fair debate. Lowe is obscuring the truth by talking about money in the bank on the day when he left power. -

I think that we nail this myth about there being plenty of money in the account on the day when Lowe left. Lowe left just before the end of June. The majority of the season ticket money had been received and was in the bank. The season ticket money is the biggest source of revenue for the club and has to be used to keep the club going in the months when there is not so much income . In addition players are due their signing on fees // loyalty bonuses on 30th June. This is one of the main sources of outgoings. Lowe left a couple of days before this money was paid to the players. It is a bit like you saying that you have plenty of money in the bank - the day after you have been paid and just before you have to pay your mortgage, your council tax and all your other bills. Technically you do have money iin the bank but realistically you do not. Just another example of the Lowe spin machine!! -
Controversial post alert - ignore if you like Lowe
Tamesaint replied to Fitzhugh Fella's topic in The Saints
& Nonsense??? I would have thought that the likes of Simon Jordan at Palace, the Golds at Birmingham, Marcus whatsisname at Ipswich, Delia at Norwich , Whatsit housebuilder at Wolves , & mega bucks at QPR all go to prove that the thought of having people who invest in the club is not nonsense. Why does Rupert have to be different? -
QUOTE=VectisSaint;195579]Don't get me wrong, I agree Lowe is insane, but blaming Woodward for our relegation is a bit daft, given he joined AFTER we were relegated. He was cause of much disruption when we were first in CCC, because he couldn't work with Saggy Chops, and introduced Simon wahtever his name was, who was clearly completely off his rocker. Lowe has done some stupid things, maybe the Woodward experiemnt was one of them, but it wasn't the cause of us being relegated... Maybe. I certainly note that he was appointed after we were relegated. But it did seem to be an open secret in our last season in the Premiership that Woodwood was in Rupert's mind. From memory, Gary Linekar said something to that effect when we were on Match of the Day for the first match that season against Villa. Such an unusual proposal must have had an effect on the club. With hindsight, our best chance of returning to the Premiership was in our first season down when we still had the parachute payment and players like Delap, Higgy etc who have since proved they were Premiership quality . The disruption caused then by Woodwood cannot be underestimated.

Controversial post alert - ignore if you like Lowe
Tamesaint replied to Fitzhugh Fella's topic in The Saints
A couple of questions Jonah?? 1. How much cash diid Secure Retirement bring to Saints??? This is a genuine question. I would like to know the answer. 2. How does the cash that Lowe put into the Rights Issue compare with the money that he has received in dividends, payoffs, salary etc ? I think I know the answer to this one. What many people object to is Lowe and his cabal taking so much from the club. In comparison to nearly every Premier League club and the majority of clubs in the Championship, we have a chairman who does not appear to invest in his club. We have a Chairman who sees the club as a money making opportunity for himself. The majority of chairmen do not. No wondere the football club is failing when we are having to compete on such an unlevel playing field. .. and I am not referring to Yeovil's old ground :-) :-)
