Considering we never seem to be in the lead I find it difficult that we should be shutting up shop. Our main problem is a lack of goals. Of course we are going to struggle with youngsters I quite agree with MLT I doubt if the board would disagree with his sentiments

Yes I am with you on this one. He does not seem to be able to score goals

Wilde's mother may have been Rathbone before she married

I thought one of the main reasons becoming a PLC was to be able to get a loan for the Stadium. If that is not the case there cannot be any benefits that I can see.

Very Negative response nothing positive here I suggest. It is negative people which are helping to destroy the club

I think you will find that most clubs are PLCs I was quite surprised when I checked

Just because you are a Lowe Hater someone who does not agree with you is not always a Lowe Luvvie We dont seem to agree on anything but never mind

OH I see

Why would he want to do that?

The SISU bid must have got the shareholders together for discussions which must have alerted them to the extremely poor financial situation. Crouch may have been convinced another takeover was on the cards and did not do anything major to resolve the financial situation. Wilde I think thought there was no likely takeover on the horizon and lost confidence in Crouch. But who knows it is all very strange. It is strange as when Wilde resigned in the first place and Hone would not let Crouch be Chairman of the football club. Ridsdale wrote a book on the Leeds Saga called United we Fall published by Macmillan I would love to read a Southampton equivilent.

I think there are Lowe Haters who although probably have never met him or spoken to him are violently against him . Then there are posters like St Warwick and myself who are alledgley Lowe Luvvies but are just realists and see as he in charge let him get on with it but there is no alternative at the moment. As we dont know any of the facts we cannot say he is doing a good or bad job all we say is that the team is not performing well and we will probably be relegated

I wonder how many there were there in 1965 will be there tomorrow

He is only doing what Trevor Brooking also wants http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7725388.stm but mainly because of finances I like Lordswood Saints Post it is extremely realistic and I am in agreement with the contents I think Trevor Brooking is boring and never says anything of interest

Dont Panic

I take it that you cant understand by your attitude in your moronic response

I think the Premiership has done for SFC assisted by Lowe in appointing Wigley and Gray. Success today is paramount I was listening to a discussion on Radio 5 where managers are not giving youth a chance preferring to buy in ready made foreign players. Our success in the past was built on youth with buying players like Ball Keegan Shilton and Osgood but that is impossible these days as their wages would be so high.

You obviously do not understand the situation at SFC either because you dont or cant. Lowe does not want a team of teenagers he wants a team that can be afforded because I understand that I am relatively calm about the present situation and hope for the best. I agree compared with other SFC teams I have seen this current one is not very good But some luck would help

I have been supporting SFC since 1962 and during that time my enthusiasm for the team has changed from season to season but I am still a supporter and always will be Every week I hope for success but most weeks especially for the last few years success has been hard to find. But I am very lucky compared to the youngsters of today I started watching just as Ted Bates plan started to work and I saw some wonderful players in Saints Shirts and saw some unbelievable games something I am unlikely to see again

I must admit to not really being worried that Lowe and Wilde are there. It is up to JP and the team to win the games and score the goals I feel too much is being focused on the board. We just need a large slice of luck for a change.

Well in the game v Wolves we never scored after 60 mins although there was relentless pressure on the Wolves goal. I returned to the Dell the following Tuesday or Wednesday v Rochdale in the League Cup fully expecting us to score 12 but I was very disappointed that we only scored 4. How I wish we would score 4 in the remainder of November but I dont want us to lose tomorrow although I dont expect us to win.

Yes we did sign their goalie I never thought him that good when playing for the Saints he was a cheap replacement for Forsyth who broke his leg. .

In August 1965 I saw us beat Wolves 9 3 despite being a goal down after 1 minute to a Tony Knapp own goal at the Milton Road end But we did have George O'Brien and Martin Chivers to score the goals and Jimmy Melia to pull the strings.

The only reason I said let them get on with it is because there does not appear to be an alternative. Boycotting only makes the situation worse I would have thought. The only way to change the board for the good would be for someone else to buy Lowe or Wilde's Shares but is that likely. Even if the shares were sold and a new board formed where do we go from there Would we have any money to buy and pay wages for new players. However if Wilde is not prepared to sell his shares I think that is completely wrong but is this true or another bit of malicious gossip. If we do get another regime the plan of giving youngsters a chance should be kept but with buying more experienced and physically strong defenders and strikers

I am going to leave it to JP He knows who is fit

I think you are being rather niave we had a team which luckily got to the Cup Final where they performed badly. The Defence Claus Telfer Le Saux were ageing and needed replacing but that was going to cost Millions We were not in a very strong position really
