"I'm trying to sign Dion Dublin".

He'll probably be on the phone to Chris Iwelumo.

You mean if we all agreed with you?

I don't think he can be acused of ruining the careers of Wigley, Sturrock and Gray, all of whom seem to be doing pretty well for themselves. He is an inept **** though.

Support was terrible. Presumably because most people there are disillusioned and are looking for something to reignite their passon for an entity which is not the one they used to love anymore. I decided not to bother going to Reading or Man U after witnessing that unless there is some top-down change before then.

If Lowe really cared for SFC he would make himself available for Abuse Sessions, whereby 10 minutes airtime is auctioned off each week for him to sit in front of the cameras dressed as a duck whilst the highest bidder gets to lay into him (verbally of course). This could then be played on the big screens before matches as a "pep-talk" for the crowd. I would be inclined to go more often if this happened.

Some sort of Saints Shareholders' Trust might be useful?!

Well said.

So you think there is nothing we can do? The question is simple: "Is the current manager getting the maximum out of the players?" If not, and given that he is leading them rapidly downwards in terms of both league position and performance level and has been doing so for a period of months, surely he should be removed?

You can withdraw a proxy at any time. I would be very surprised if those guys have any sort of binding legal agreement, they all just like to sit around together over a glass of wine and pretend to be important.

I can't believe there is a single person who still defends the "JP was an appointment of economic necessity and Lowe's grand strategy was a plan of economic necessity" argument. You may think these choices were laudable in principle, but face it, they are rubbish in reality. Lowe was blinded by the fact we produced Walcott and Bale at roughly the same time and believed the academy could produce £10m worth of talent every season. A good manager = more home wins = for argument's sake, 2,000 or so extra supporters (?) = circa £40k extra income per match >>> wages of better manager easily pay for themselves. It's obvious. Anyone can see it. The only conclusion is that Lowe must have honestly thought this current set-up would do well ..... or he has darker plans in mind. As soon as Lowe sacked Pearson you knew he had learnt nothing and was on one of his usual ego trips. He has ruined the club with a further litany of incidents of shameful and pompous mismanagement.

Do they all have experience in organising and coaching a professional football team? I'll take any of them then.

Because there are another 20% or so under his belt courtesy of the old board of directors and various pals of his who have bought shares. This, plus Wilde's backing takes him to about 40% of the issued capital. A large proportion of small shareholders will not vote, whether due to apathy, disinterest, ignorance or whatever... The sad fact is that whilst a clear majoriy of supporters probably want him gone forever it can't be demonstrated and may not be the case that a majority of shareholders (or, more accurately, an amount of shareholders representing the majority of voting rights of those who vote) want him gone.

Do you honestly believe the club makes money if it averages more than 19k on the home gate?

Best two in my Saints watching career are Ekelund and Berkovic IMO but I will nominate Ekelund and MLT as although I wouldn't play MLT in CM I also wouldn't play him on the wing or as a striker.

Yes, if you ignored the first paragraphs you actually wouldn't necessarily have known it was him.

Why do we have to nominate two? Seems odd.

I think he probably is a bit ashamed.

I'm not sure whether this revelation is more depressing than Saints or not.

We've been getting worse since we beat Derby. HTH.

This is exactly the point, and why I have become completely disillusioned with Saints and our absurd, laughable, arrogant attitude.

What is Marco Almeida up to nowadays?

To delist we need to pass a special resolution. To pass a special resolution 75% of votes cast must be in favour of it. Anyone reading this thread for info, please do ignore Up and Away, who is incapable of making sense of his own quotes.

You are an utter numpty.
