I thought what he was saying had a bit of truth fans dont seem to want to watch now we are rubbish but will return when we start winning or Man U visit But it was a bit tongue in cheek I think a bit of a joke

It seems more important to some that JP is sacked rather than SFC win

You may be right but you maybe wrong only time will tell but call somebody else's views claptrap is rude and arrogant. Staying up is not playing havoc with our finances it was last seasons overspend which has caused the problem.

I would probably agree with Wilde out as I dont know what he does and it is him that has mainly got us into the situation

Yes you are of course right but Saints fans are continually whingeing and it was probably a joke from Dennis.

I want us to build for the future I do not mind if we are relegated because we can regroup . What I do mind is trying to keep in the Championship at all costs without having a solution for the long term. Sacking JP bringing in another manager is only assisting in the short term .

I think Crouch was waiting for the takeover so he felt there was no need to appoint a short term manager. His football advisor probably agreed.

Also well done Mick Dennis he does have a point The small minded hatred of Lowe is one of the reasons we are in the mess we are now.

Well what was his plan then? What players was he going to get in how were they to be paid? I just think he is a fan like you and me with lots of money

What did he do right is a better question I would have thought he does not appear to have a strategy to get us out of our present situation He did not do much wrong compared with Wilde and his cronies but appears to lack judgement in supporting Wilde and believing in takeovers. In better times he would probably make a good Chairman but appears to want to please fans all the time which is probably not what is required by a Chairman. Lowe however appears does not to want to please the fans at all.

Ok Fair Enough Just Words then. And never mind the cost .

It could be that the meeting is to tell the players he is sticking with JP and they need to pull their fingers out.

I think we have been pretty poor all season going right back to the Blackpool game but sometimes we play well but need to make many clearcut chances. I know we got to the play offs in season 2 but the other seasons in the Championship have been dire. Thats why I like the idea of trying to bring in high quality youngsters in order to eventually develop a team which we can be proud of not a bunch of overpaid untalented footballers With no money we are well and truly stuffed. Perhaps another manager will get more out of the team than JP time will tell

I dont think the bank are making the decisions. I like you dont know where the money is coming from but Smith was already here and Cork and Pearce have left. We got some money in from the Man U game We also have to pay Saga but that maybe covered by not paying John

Yes I know Forest are winning but they did win before Davies took over but Watford Charlton are not doing that well with new managers. Spurs are slightly better under Redknapp but they do have some really good players it just seems hit and miss to me Pearson took us over last year and very nearly took us down. If Wright had not made that save we would have been relegated probably.

Yes you are quite right I have alway thought we were in pseudo Administration but still getting in new players. I think Administration proper would be a disaster but relegation not so bad Nottm Forest and probably Leicester have shown it is possible to return so would Leeds if they had not lost points because of going into Administration

Yes that is so but were we expecting to sell or loan out others

Yes I take your point but I still cannot get my head round how much a manager influences teams.

I have been watching Saints for nearly fifty years but I dont really understand all this hype about managers tactics and motivation. I thought some teams were rubbish and some not three clubs have to be relegated If we had some decent players we wouldv not be in our present position. If Surman and Lallana are worth millions why are they helping us to produce better results. We are rubbish what can a manager do to improve it.? If players are too tense in front of goal what can be done. Posters are saying get in Dowie and Boothroyd but both of them have failed recently at other clubs

Why not really? So if Pearson was here he does not need an advisor if so why not? By the way is Pearson the manager who with a more experience squad of players got us into a similar position we are today

As most of the well informed posters on here say Lowe knows nothing about football if indeed he has a football advisor is that not a good idea.

I would have thought it would have been a good idea in the present dire circumstances for the club to issue regular statements regarding the situation of the club.
