He was **** with Orville.

But you seem to be acknowledging that it will rise? I dont think it will personally, until we get a manager and team we can get behind.

Why shouldnt he be? If the Swiss deal doesnt go through rumours are its because the other deal is even bigger and better!

To be honest, such has been and is the demand to buy this club that we're going to see lots of this for a while. Make a decision Fry, time is running out to start to get the preseason transfers and manager appointed to give us a fighting chance of staying up let alone hitting the play offs!!!

LOL! Not the current incumbant 19! Right off to bed to dream about Swiss cheese, large breasted Swiss girls, St Bernards, Swiss Guards and men dressed as pen-knives... wish I hadnt started that thread, but its going to be an interesting night!

OK. I'll do my best.

It is interesting that attendances increased after Lowe was forced to leave.

11:34

Despite the parachute payments?

but not with that! Lowe's failures do eclipse anyone else at this club over the last 12 years. The reason is that despite his year off, the club continually slid down as a plc under his direction and whilst he was a senior shareholder. Draw a graph of places in the league and look who and what was consistent over that time. Plc and Lowe. 'Its a results driven business' Mr Lowe said himself.

I agree with that, have to say.

We did - on penalties AFTER that moment. Tell me,did we even have that moment under Lowe in the first year in the CCC? When we had an even BETTER team?

Never said he didnt aim low. Just that he delivered what he said he would.

Ultimately Lowe relegated us twice. Crouch gambled and it nearly paid off as those of us at Derby thought when Viafara ran towards us with his shirt up having scored our game winer before penalties.

Certainly up there. That hit the boss site proved that... or whatever it was called! Nah - everyone I've met who support other teams rolled their eyes and used to comment about us having Lowe. Even a Luton chap I knew thought that they were at least lucky enough not to have him in charge. Never forget when we played Pompey at SMS and won 2-1 when Lowe's face came up on the TVs and the Skates cheered him... summed up what everyone else thought neatly I think. Lowe was well up there for unpopular chairmen. He was simply out of touch... with any football fan.

Well once they make a decision I'll stick with it. Decision is about to be made so important to express the majority view for our new owners. If we dont sack him (or give him far more £s than most managers may require to build a team) then I cant help but think our new Swiss owners will not back us in League 2. Anyway its not just me - I'm just posting more than useual as I have a couple of weeks off!

We drew twice in pre-season friendlies against good pub teams!

Still pretty high!

I think he was, shall we say, unable to spend it on other payments that may be made in connection with attracting those players. Of course, purely speculation...

OK fairish points. But 19, when you have a boss like Lowe who CONTINUALLY ****s things up regardless of the circumstances dont you think that perhaps others are right to question whether he was any good?

Redcrapp couldve had more £s though... he just didnt seem to be able to find the players in the January window... wonder why? Perhaps it was because the money wasnt given to him for ahem... other expenses... as it was elsewhere on the South coast?

Lowe has put that off for many years. Shame he failed to support and keep WGS after he delivered.

Sadoldgit is right. Burley delivered a playoff place. He said he had a playoff team and delivered that. GB is not the reason we relegated. Lack of funding and failure to sell the club to buy out the gamble last year was the reason we relegated.

Nice one....I didnt last that long.
