I am sorry but I dont real know what you think Lowe should be doing in this time of emergengy. Perhaps the finances are OK Surely you dont want him to play or coach the team?

So you dont go skiing neither do I

I am sorry that you do not agree with me but we have no money and therefore have a poor team. If we had a substantial amount of money I would fully agree that a better approach could have been taken I thought Lowe was at St Mary's on Friday before he went off on holiday. I still do not know 100% if JP was sacked or resigned

That is what I would have thought too. And Lowe may have a mobile phone so he can be contacted in the event of a serious problem

I dont think it is significant . The guy at the game at Farnborough was thought to be a possible investor. But Barcelona said it was the guy he saw at the airport and was involved in putting the deal together to bring JP and Wotte to SFC so crushing another takeover rumour

Yes exactly

What does running the club actually mean? I thought the team was being run by Wotte from today

I would not think he needed permission to line up a manager. But if he is involved with a takeover I would have thought it a good thing to be prepared. Whether it is true is another matter

Sorry I was going to say But Crouch's one main advantage is that he is not called Rupert Lowe meaning the fans would rather have anybody rather than Lowe. Although I do think Lowe's name and background do not help him By the way I am not a Lowe luvvie and would like to see him eventually go. But as that seems unlikely at the moment so we have to live with him being Chairman

Yes I agree completely with what you are saying.

Yes I agree but it depends on what Crouch wanted There are always two sides to every story But if Crouch really wanted to work with the other two getting this info in the Public domain is not helping

I see there is no chance of a ceasefire then . You would have thought these so called leaders of our club would try and reach a settlement for the long term good.

What like Harry?

But Crouch's one main advantage is that he is not called Rupert

That is because he appears to court publicity and is pally with the fans. If that is the criteria for a good chairman let him return

I do like the quote Proven manager Burley and Redknapp were proven managers apparently but did not help us in the end Pearson was not proven in the Championship but did not get us relegated and is well liked here by loads of fans Finding a good Manager and keeping them is difficult as other clubs have shown

I dont they can be recalled as we can not pay them and there is of course no guarantee that they will score the number you suggest.

Chivers was a very good footballer good in the air and had very good ball control I saw him score a great goal in 1964 v Man Utd in the cup down the Dell at the Archers Road end beat a couple of players then hit a left footed screamer in the top left hand corner. Ossie was past his best when he came to us but in the 1960s he was a player people went to watch and paid money to see him. Likewise as you say with Worthington As Chivers is a Southampton Boy as well I will go for him

Lady Saint I totally agree with you we should know. But he may just be a hanger on who knows Has no role at all just hangs about

The thing is if you asked that question they could answer none but we dont really know what his role is if any so we need to ask a question to find out. For all I know he maybe just a hanger on

Yes I agree but I do not think they are imprudent they are questions which are being asked on this forum in one way or another.

Our transfer policy over the last few years has not been that good either That is why we are in the mire

That will be a short news conference then
