I did not say I do not watch the Saints I said I do not watch the Saints regularly as I now live some way from Southampton. I follow nearly all matches here on my PC with BBC OS and Forum and noticed your post suggesting that we would win 3 1. Mind you the first time I went to Vicarge road we lost 7 1 I do admit that I do not get as upset as I used to when we lose I probably am getting used to it. The worst moment for me this season was against Sheff Utd I think after we equalised with a minute to go we lost it was at that moment I thought we would be relegated As usual you make assumptions which are totally incorrect I went to School in Southampton at St Mary's College.

You obviously live in a fantasy world if the club has to reduce costs in order to reduce the overdraft the team is not going to be very good and needs all the support it can get boycotting St Mary's obviously does not help. Lowe was involved in getting us relegated of course but it is not solely him who has decimated the club as you put it. I am sorry that I appear sanctimonious but I the hatred of Lowe has seriously damaged the club and as I have said I dont care who runs the club and who manages the team . It surely is a point view that I have come to after analysing all the facts

You are right I do not go to watch the Saints regularly and have not done so for over twenty years but I follow them closely and have done so for ov. However I can the reasons why the club has failed in recent years and the blind hatred towards Lowe and recently Wilde has contributed to it. Getting relegated was unfortunate but not a disaster but over spending did turn out to be so for nearly fifty years. Unlike you I do not regard that everything that Lowe does is completely wrong and frankly find it strange that Lowe is blamed for everything.

Nineteen puts a reasonable case to me but you obviosly do not agree . If the fans had supported the Club by going to St Mary's week in week out we would be in a better shape that appears obvious to me. It seems to me a fair number were more interested in getting Lowe out than supporting the Club

Do you know who is paying for the administrators

Yes a serious Injury

Yes but not total incompetance as was the case in 2006-2008 when Lowe was not in charge

As to be expected although I would have hoped for three or four wins more

I think it is all over the fat lady is about to sing

I thought there was no width on Saturday

The debt on the Stadium was planned but the debt occurred by between 2006 and 2008 was not.

What decisions has Lowe taken that have led to WH Ireland's fall?

Yes but not a household name like Lineker Hansen Shearer Keegan Ball Gazza etc I would have thought

The mansion was sold for £4 million last year . MLT obviously never did get paid well compared to today's players

That will set another precident wont it?

Yes I agree I said so in another thread

That was Spencer Davis in the 1960s keep on running.

Yes I agree but Lineker put in cash I seem to remember I am not sure what MLT can do I dont think he is a household name like Lineker and Shearer outside Hampshire.

Lineker is seriously wealthy he used to live in a huge mansion in Sunningdale

The League are against Clubs spending money they dont have to get an unfair advantage like Crouch probably did with Davies and then going into administration. that is why the points penalty was introduced. But of course there are other examples like paying large wages for John and Euell when it was impossible to pay them from income received. However if Crouch paid out of his own pocket that is a different matter Morally I think we should lose 10 points but legally that may not be the case. If SLH had other revenue streams I think we maybe OK but it is SFC which has caused the SLH to go into administration.

The league are not looking into our accounts. They are looking into the relationship between SFC and SLH. No one except you has hinted that there is anything illegal in the way the club has been run.

I think there is European Action tonight

Yes it was spent between 2006 and 2008 when Lowe was not around the Wilde disappeared looking for investment but Crouch was there but had little influence as the Execs in charge probably thought him a loose cannon as he was voted off the board. But of course it is Lowe's fault

You maywell be right but I am really interested what Lowe Wilde and Jones have to say about that. However without selling any Players bar Safri and Davies administration must have been obvious from September unless Barclays said that there was no problem.

Depends really what was the state of the overdraft with Barclay's
