Not based on his performances for us he wont. Poor last season and poor this. In my honest opinion...........

Thought he spoke well about it, and made some really good points about Mr Lowe..............

Thank god you aren't a presenter otherwise you'ld have the most boring show in radio. It's a national radio station, 95% of listeners wont have a clue who Pinnacle are.............

I agree, however it's going to be another blow to the support and also keeps up the "crisis club" line in the press. I can't see how they're going to replace him, or get anyone decent in. If rumours of agents fees outstanding are true, the agents aren't exactly going to push them to their players.

You maybe happy to see 2 internationls stroll round, not interested and not wanting to play for the Club, but I aint. This is League 1 FFS, if Rasiak and Saga can't get in our side, either Pards is an idiot, or their attitude day in and day out stinks. I know which one I think it is.............

Sagga's an international and was a Chmpions league player, Matt Pat is a young kid just starting his career. As poor as Paterson was, I was more disapointed with Saga. The sooner him and GR p off and find another club, the better.

Evidently this is a report of his performance for Grimsby, so I dont think they'll be keeping him. Grimsby Town 0 Crewe Alex 4 IN 1996 Southampton were famously victim to an elaborate scam in which they fielded a player they believed to be a potential world-beater. The ‘agent’ of Ali Dai claimed he was the cousin of former world player of the year George Weah. In fact, Dai was a very average amateur footballer. By the time he realised he had been duped, then-boss Graeme Souness had allowed him to play for more than 20 minutes in the Premier League. On Saturday, alarms were raised that another Saints man was an imposter. But this time the joke was on Grimsby Town. With first choice keeper Nick Colgan injured, the Mariners borrowed Southampton custodian Tommy Forecast on Friday. The following day, he put in one of the most shockingly inept displays the Football League has ever seen. At times, the 6ft 7ins keeper appeared to have no knowledge of the position at all. All at sea throughout, he was at fault for the Alex’s first two goals and punctuated his performance with comedy moments

We could name certain facilities after ex Chairman. Ladies could use the Askams, and men the Lowe's.............

The truth I would like to know is why players like Pulis and Forecast were signed. Had Redknapp signed them questions would have ben asked. By all accountsForecast was shocking for Grimsby the other night, and I believe he's on a long term contract here. If we're going to have the truth let's have the whole truth from the moment WGS left. All of it, from why was Sturrock let go, to why did we go into admin days after the deadline.The past few years have been a complete and utter shambles and I would like to see people held to account for their part in it............

He played well for Pearson I seem to remember. He did well for Brum today as well.

Jan seemed decent bloke, totally out of his depth,but he's hardly going to turn the job down. I spoke to a Dutch Bar owner in Spain during the summer and he said JP is well respected in Holland for being a very good player. He also told me that Wotte has a bad reputation and has an overrated opinion of himself. It was a round the time he was reportedly off to Egypt, and the Bar owner said "you've had a lucky escape". I was glad he got fired and can well beleive JP's account of him being stabbed in the back. They came as a duo and should have left as a duo. As for Lowe, this just confirms everything I've ever thought about the Bloke. Dont forget there were people on this site prepared to run down and slander Lawrie Mac, Mike Osman and others on the basis they were against Lowe .

At least it's not spouting rubbish about our "total football" and fawning all over the Chairman. When Lambert signed it made a nice change to read about it without silly quotes about how he signed because of our revolutionary set up.

Oh please let it happen, I dont prey, I'm not relegious, but if this happened I'd go to church every Sunday for the rest of my days.

Whilst it was obvious that the structure of the Club was not set up to aviod any deductions I still think the whole thing is worthy of debate, as we are -10 this season because of it. Surely Lowe knew we were close to the edge and that cheques he/PLC wrote would take us over our overdraft limit. I would like to know when Lowe realised admin was inevitable and whether he believed our structure would render any points deduction unenforceable.The cut off date is in place because teams will manipulate the timings of admin if it was not. It is therefore possible to enter admin at the best time for a club,and the best time for us would have been a few days earlier. Personally I've no doubt that had Lowe been interested in buying the Club post admin, he'd have gone into admin earlier. My personal belief is that Lowe, whilst knowing the game was 99% up, ploughed on because he thought the league were unable to issue any deductions, and he had no intention of wanting any part of the Club post admin. The decision to plough on and bluff it out is the reason we're sitting here on -9, because without it, we'd have a great chance of promotion this season. I dont suppose we'll ever get the answer, but those few days really cost us dear.

According to breaking reports their takeover has gone down the pan today.

I cant believe it, what has the new owner done for the Club, apart from saving it, clearing the debts,sacking a hopeless manager, appointing a new Manager, resigning our player of the season and offering reasonable priced season tickets? He needs to get his finger out, why haven't we signed 10 more players on mega long term contracts, after all he's been in charge 6 weeks and Pardew's been here nearly a month. The blokes worse than Rupert Lowe, he needs to go............

That was in October,and Lowe agreed the new figure.Instead of breaching it why didn't he sell someone in the Jan transfer window? The only thing that caught him cold was his ego, he never thought they'd pull the plug on the great Rupert Lowe............

WGS got us to one Cup Final, which we lost, 8th in the League and yet he's considered untouchable and Saints legend. 8th in the League would have been a very average season for Lawrie, and his style of football was far and away better than anything we've seen since. The fact that other Club's supporters hold Lawrie in higher regard, than some Saints supporters is very sad. What's the great man done to deserve this poison spread about him? Speak out against Rupert Lowe (who let's not forget was Chairman during 2 relegations and led us into admin) thats what. Clough, Revie, Bobby Robson, Bill Shankley were fantastic footballers, like Jose, Lawrie had to get the buy in from players on the strength of his personality as his football ability was limited. The fact he managed to get World Class footballers to sign for a provincial club playing at The Dell, is testiment to his personality and ability to get the best out of people. Where he differes from other similar Managers Like "Big Ron" and Redknapp, was the young players he also devolped and brought on during his regin at the Club. He was not in the same league as Sir Bobby or Cloughie, but was the nearest we'll ever have to them. There will never be another Lawrie Mac at this Club and he should be treated with respect.

After Ted stepped down, had the Directors run the club in the same manner as Lowe, and all Ted's achievements were swept under the carpet. Had the Club slipped back to the league Ted took us from with the directors poisioning the Club, and trashing everything the Club stood for, I've no doubt Ted would have said something. You have to have a big ego to Manage people like Bally and KK, and Lawrie's was as big as anyone's.We would not have signed the players we did, or played in the style we did, without Lawrie's ego. To have Lowe luvvies on here complaining about someone's ego, strikes me as a bit ironic. At least Lawrie's ego brought us Keegan, Ball, Osgood and Shilton. Lowe's brought us Wiggley, Portfliet, Woodward and Clifford.

Coventry fans were saying the same thing about WGS
