I doubt it. The confidentiality clause he signed at Saints makes the book not worth reading. Also he's still an active manager therefore the book is not his life story unconstrained by politics.

A worthy cause. If and when you do sell them put them on ebay and advertise it on here to bump up the price.

Norwich away in 94 (Bally had just joined us). I know we were 3-1 down, pulled it back to 3-3. Then 4-3 down before eventually winning 5-4.

I've got stacks of programmes collecting dust in a cupboard from the early 80's onwards. I don't really bother with buying programmes now though because of the price.

I was thinking the same thing hence my post.

Do they exist? I have a 76 FA Cup final one - how much is it worth? How much is the 76 semi final programme worth?

Hello Sundance.

Just because we won it changes nothing. LOWE OUT.

As a matter of fact i'd say WGS could well have been a yes man when he first arrived. He was afterall rescued by Saints after a disaterous managerial start at Coventry.

Fantastic performance. I hope this gives the team some confidence to do what they failed to do at the Ricoh after the last mini run of good results. JP needs to make sure they learn from that experience.

I understand i'm in a minority on the Redknapp issue, but don't give a ****. He was a good manager and he is a good manager. He inheritted a totally demoralised team running out of games. I don't blame him for our relegation. Furthermore if he'd been backed by Lowe with more than £90k and hadn't been undermined with the removal of Jim Smith and appointment of SCW he would have got us up in season 1 in the CCC IMO.

Pay your fiver you tight git.

Perhaps it was Stuart Grays CV that attracted Lowe. Gray had alays been a number 2 and maybe Lowe thought he'd be the subservient type who would allow Lowe to be more "hands on".

If Stuart Gray is to be believed it will be JP that takes the blame for the player signings.

Lowe and Wilde are the Lead Weights in all of this, not the fans.

Perhaps you're being a little bit unfair: "They still say that I went to a football match for the first time six months before I joined Southampton," says Lowe. "Incorrect. I used to go with friends regularly to watch Ipswich Town, although as a boy I supported West Ham. I played football at the Dragon School in Oxford. And I remember being very keen on my Soccer Stars album. When you bought stuff from the school tuck shop you got the stickers."

I've long thought we haven't heard the last of Crouch (him being the richest BY FAR of the three). Does this mean he's buying Wildes shares?

GRAYS DEL OF A GO AT LOWE By CHARLIE WYETT Published: 27 Oct 2004 SOUTHAMPTON chairman Rupert Lowe has been plunged into a fresh crisis by a stinging attack from Stuart Gray. The former Saints boss has spoken out for the first time since his sudden departure three years ago. Southampton, under current coach Steve Wigley, are in the Premiership drop zone and have a potentially embarrassing League Cup clash against lowly Colchester tonight. But when Lowe declared Wigley must be given a chance, Gray decided to hit out. Gray, 43, rapped: “Where was my chance? When he gave me the job he told me I was the right person. But I was only given eight games. “When Lowe said I was to lose my job, he wanted a statement put out that it was by mutual consent. “But I wanted to stay so there was no way I’d agree to that.” Gray is also furious he was given the blame for record £3.5million signing Agustin Delgado. The striker made only two Premiership starts while picking up £2m in wages. Gray added: “Lowe showed me a video of Delgado. I didn’t want him but the chairman was adamant. It cost me my job.” http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/article173420.ece LOWE HITS BACK AT GRAY Thursday 28 Oct 2004 Southampton chairman Rupert Lowe reacted angrily to former Saints manager Stuart Gray's accusation that he was sacked because he refused to be a 'yes man'. Gray was dismissed, together with assistant manager Mick Wadsworth, in October 2001 just eight games after being handed the job on a permanent basis. In a newspaper interview earlier this week Gray accused Lowe of signing Agustin Delgado against his wishes after he'd asked the club to bid for Diego Forlan and also claimed the club had asked him to say his departure was by mutual consent.

A furious Lowe told the club's official website: "There has never been any suggestion that Stuart Gray left by mutual consent. "He was sacked and he is the only manager that I have fired. "We have never tried to hide the fact that Stuart Gray did not work out. Andrew Cowen and I called in Stuart and Mick Wadsworth and we paid a lot of money to ease the pain of being sacked. "As far as the Delgado claims are concerned, I do not recall Stuart saying he wanted Diego Forlan, but in any case he went for £7million which was out of our price range. "At the time the transfer market was hugely inflated and English strikers were moving for £10-14million so we were forced to look overseas. "Terry Cooper travelled to Bolivia and saw Delgado destroy them. He also outscored Batistuta and Crespo in the World Cup qualifying groups to fire Ecuador to their first ever finals and so we signed him and Stuart sanctioned it." Southampton have indicated the reason Gray's reign was not a success was because of his choice of Wadsworth as assistant manager, when the club's directors wanted to appoint Ray Harford. http://uk.wrs.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0WTf2nKZQtJyH8A5BJWBQx./SIG=134pl8416/EXP=1225570122/**http%3A//www.4thegame.com/club/sfc/news/160131/LOWE%2BHITS%2BBACK%2BAT%2BGRAY.html

Crouch did very little wrong during his 5 months in charge. He sorted out the Exec mess that was created by Wilde. He started reducing costs loaning our high earners. He gave us Nigel Pearson who was a breath of freah air and a manager respected by all. Dodd and Gorman was a mistake, but he acted swiftly to rectify this error. We would be far better off with Crouch and Pearson for sure.

Whilst you were typing that you could have hit rupes 200 times, but of course your post was far more important than some silly ***** on a stick punchbag game.

Now we know what all the luvvies will want in their christmas stockings.

Looks like the Gers fans are trying to knock Lowe off top spot. Another 500 for Lowe.

I wish he'd give Lowe the black spot.

Hardly suprising if Lowe and Wotte choose the players and Lowe and Wotte pick the team.
