I am with you but I would add Wilde to your list. By the way who are the despicable cronies?

I am not a shareholder either but at the moment the club is not in administration but I take your point. Long term I would rather we succeeded with the current approach than be beholden to some rich guy or guys like West Ham Newcastle Portsmouth or Liverpool

I have read the articles and find their content rather simplistic and unreal

Maybe but I would have thought it is niave to think all shareholders would give their shares away for nothing as currently they do have a value .

But where is right person? That is my only problem with Crouch he seems to think somebody is going to invest and everything is going to be Ok which makes him sound a bit niave and does not give me confidence in his ability. Plainly investment has not arrived despite many false dawns and if it does there is going to be hard work in order to fashion a team which will perform well and to continue to do so in the future. We tried to buy a team to gain promotion but that failed spectactularly so buying players may not be the complete solution

I agree Wilde Lowe and Crouch are all to blame for our current demise in that order. However whether Crouch could have stopped the rot is open to question whether Wilde and Lowe can is also open to question but there are slight signs of recovery but only time will tell Why they cannot stop bickering is the main question of course as Crouch says Investment is probably the only way forward but as nothing has happened in three years something else has been tried. They should all keep quiet and as the previous poster says get behind the team.

We could win Burnley have just beaten Arsenal in the Carling Cup

Ridiculous I would have thought

Can't believe apparently sensible people continue to write such crap. You obviously live in a different world to the majority running a football club is not easy . Lowe is running the club as most Chairman would

I thought it maybe so they are his own views. Some of the postings seemed realistic to me.

So who is Saint Marc a plant for it is not that clear or are these his own views.

Yes totally agree with you but lots of posters think we have landed a huge windfall

and Lowe sacking managers and buying players not good enough for the premiership

Yes we may have got a small attendance but we may have won got £65K and Man U in the next round

The team at the moment is in a better position by one place than it finished last season but of course we can still go up or down further

Oh I see I thought we were talking about SFC and the mess we are in caused by reckless spending.

Yes I was very surprised he came back. However something drasticl had to be done and Rupert was given the poisoned chalice. I would have thought somebody like Crouch would not have been able to take all the flack from the fans when unpopular decisions were taken

Sorry what is your point?

Facts or assumptions or interpretations ?

It is not a true pure win as if we got a winnable 3rd tie we could of possibly earned more money in the long run. It would have been better to have had this tie in round 4 or 5 I would have thought

Sorry no If we had drawn Histon and won we would probably have gained more money.

Not neccessarily as money would be invested in buying new players. Anyway the shareholders not Lowe get the money in dividends which I believe have not been plentifull But I suppose Lowe is on a bonus related contract and like JP will be rewarded by success. Even New Labour are apparently OK with rewarding success in the City

Yes obviously you are right what you are saying. But drawing Man Utd who we are unlikely to beat does not mean that the amount of Revenue we get from this seasons FA Cup will be more than if we drew another team that we eventually beat. Some reveue would have been expected from the FA Cup anyway as the other poster said.

I dont know what you mean by working To be successful other clubs have to be unsuccessful I dont think because we are a PLC we are unsuccessful we just have had a rubbish team without many outstanding players like MLT Niemmi Killer who have played for us for any length of time.
