Thank you , It is a pleasure to read someone who like me can remember us as a PROUD FOOTBALL CLUB. You are 100% correct in your observations about Lowe , He only came back to feather his own nest ( Again ) 1949 Ian Black in Goal....... So without being the wisest I have seen enough to have a valid opinion............I think !

Totally agree that I am not the wisest and yes I remember Askhams tenure very well And when he brought Lowe onboard that was the real start of our disaster's.

IMHO as probably one of the oldest fans on this forum all Saints Troubles began with Lowe and his ludicrous running of the club in the premier league , and will end with Lowe taking the club into administration. Get rid of Lowe, and JP might have a chance of making a fist of it this season and hopefully that could tempt a buyer for the club. I also think attendances at SMS would increase dramatically with Lowe & Wilde being permantly removed from the club,I know before you all start shouting at me that finding a real benefactor for the club is extremely difficult but it would be made a lot easier without Lowe. Watch them all line up to buy SFC once the bank pulls the plug.

I am sorry to say that Mcgoldrick is one of a few in our present young team who think they are better than they are, We are dead certs for relegation with our present squad and after being a supporter for nearly sixty years I dont say that lightly.

Agree , I am sure Marek is delighted with the move but my point is it speaks volumes about the way the football hierachy thinks at SMS. I am sure JP would be delighted to have him in the squad had he been allowed to!!

I watched Celtic draw 0-0 withh Aalborg and have to say that Marek Saganowski was a star for the Danish side , Playing mostly as the lone striker he gave the celtic defence a torrid time whenever he got the ball. I know he was supposed to be on high wages at Saints but it seems to me loaning out to Aalborg is just plain crazy.

It is difficult times for all at the club at the moment , I thought yesterdays result Flattered QPR , Yes they deserved the win but 2-1 would have been more realistic on the match play over all. Hopefully this week our young team will show us they are learning fast.A point from Ipswich and 3 from Barnsley would be a good return and 2 wins would be fantastic.

With no central defence in front of him KD was outstanding today , What I cant get why play two boys in central defence both making there debuts , Surely Perry should have been on along with Cork or even Wotton & Perry. Lancashire & Cork was a suicidal pairing from JP ,He better wise up soon or it will all be to late.

............... YES , Lowe has frightened them all off , They all know what a lieing , cheating , money grabbing son of a b.... he is and they wont help or negotiate with him............. And who can blame them!

Whilst watching Man U v Newcastle this afternoon on Telly the commentator said that Kevin Keegan has very little input as to which players the club sign ,Dennis Wise has the remit for identifying and signing players. KK's Job is to work with the players he is given and mould them into Newcastle United.

Very good post , exactly echoing my thoughts upon reading the same Portvliet comments, He comes across as not having his finger completely on the pulse at at sfc.

I go 3-0 to the Saints Nippers , By the way what has happened to the prediction league that was run on SFE last season ? It was good fun.

I am quite happy with playing James & Surman at full back , The modern game and type of football we will be playing calls for young fit and versatile players in these positions, the days of hulking great stoppers in full back area is long gone. Hopefully these lads will remain relativly injury free but if not we have other young players who look like they could perform in our defence , Mills , Gobern , Racine Etc. I have total trust in JP and wish him all the luck in the world and even if we get beat tomorrow JP has been a gust of fresh air through the club. COYS
