I thought Patterson and his tackle were out of the George Kirby coaching manual. How I loved his approach

I thought things were going to be alright at the End of December but if January is as bad relegation will be a formality. Hindsight is a wonerful thing but Pekhart had been scoring regularly for Spurs Reserves. Robertson was used to get rid of Dyer I agree with you on Pulis and Smith but the coaching staff obviously seem some potential in him Gasmi is for the future perhaps? Forecast was probably bought in for cover if Davis went. So there maybe some good reasons why they were brought in

One reason players are loaned out is to see if they can perform at a higher level. Spurs maybe very grateful for SFC playing Pekhart Like McGoldrick Pekart scored loads of goals in the reserves.

Are all managers out of their depth when their teams are not winning It is always easy to blame the manager/coach but perhaps the players are not up to Championship standard that is my thought I just dont like the trend of sacking managers after only a few months in the job. It took Ted Bates sometime to mould his team and then there was no requirement for such a large squad it does take sometime for teams to gel.

Our squad on this site looks interesting too

I thought the policy was to play good young players perhaps he did not fit that description. We played Cork Pearce and Robertson

Yes I agree but please tell me what Lowe's replacement is going to do without the club going into administration?

What I was saying that Person performed OK without much knowledge of the Championship. The main problem with JP is that he played at such a high standard and coached Dutch kids who are probably more technically gifted than ours.

I would agree with your post but I think we are less than a million miles away from a good team maybe two years or so

What actually do you mean knows the Championship Scholari Ranieri etc surely did not know the Premiership Keane at Sunderland did not know the Championship and I doubt whether Pearson knew the Championship or Div 1 either.

Are you sure Dowie has been sacked from lots of clubs? He cant be that good

OK Robbie but without out any money it is unlikely that SFC will be in the Premiership in the long run. Mixing home grown players not kids with quality signings was why SFC was successful for 25 years. Not Mixing home grown players with quality signings was why SFC was have been unsuccessful for the past 20 years. Now Mixing kids with old pros is why SFC is today unsuccessful . Without Investment which has never been forthcoming in the last 50 years we will have to wait for success until our home grown players are no longer kids

Why cannot posters accept that we have no money and therefore cannot be successful.

Another load of complete and utter rubbish. The posts you were referring to were realistic and sensible we are in a diferent era and have no money

Daily was a Burley signing If we replace all the kids I do not feel we will succeed long term. I agree we should not have all kids but a team of oldies is just a short term solution.

Yes it was a bad tackle but probably the ref was right

I think they are in the defence

I think Lowe was chosen because hard decisions had to be made which would be unpopular to the fans. As he was unpupular anyway he was used to the abuse which the fans were likely to give to the chairman so he took the job. I dont think anyone else fancied sorting out the mess

Yes but I have been praying for a chance of fortune for nearly five years now so I dont beleive many of these rumours

Yes I agree with all that but why buy if we are heading for administration as he could then buy the club?

So why would Crouch buy them if we are heading for Administration? Why pay so much? But the idea seems good to me but I do not really beleive it.

I apologise for my smart alick remard regarding your ability to run the club. I did have a longer response to you and under weststand but the broadband went down and I lost it I may respond again when I get back

Yes I agree with what you are saying we have to get it right on the field first I did have a longer response but the broadband went down and I lost it

But it nearly bankrupted us didnt it? Yes bring in players when we can afford to do so

You may well think you could run the club better but if you could you would probably not be on here. I am sorry but the club is in a terrible state and changing direction after only a few months is not a good idea. I dont care if we get relegated we were in the Third Division when I started being interested in Southampton so I will always support them. What I care about is that the club gets onto a sound financial footing and moves forward from there it is going to take sometime and it is not going to be easy but the move forward has started.
