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.

Yes very true and if we had played Coventry and won we would have got an extra £50K or so for winning and more revenue in round 4

Both Nottm Forest and us are not successful at the moment if we were PLCs might be thought to be a good thing.

Including this rude post?

Yes you are right but at the moment it seems he only comes on for ten minutes which is not enough

Yes I think that maybe the case but I would really like to know what our current financial situation really is

It will be intersting to see whether under Keane at Sunderland despite spending lots of dosh they are relegated. Three teams do get relegated every season and unfortunately it was our turn in 2005 like it was in 1974

Do we actually know what the average attendance figures the club was hoping for?

According to the echo Lowe: United cash windfall won't solve financial problems http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/3941179.Lowe__United_cash_windfall_won_t_solve_financial_problems/#show Realistic not negative really Seems what ever we get from the Man U game is a drop in the ocean to what we have overspent in the last couple of years. Probably means we still need lots of money from transfer sales
