Is this not what I told you ? except the uncontactable are uncontactable for a reason.

I mean that's a good side isn't it?? except that there's no bite in midfield whatsoever.Then again we don't have anyone capable of injecting any anyway.

And of course friend Fulthorpe hasn't the figures that you've managed to obtain of course??

Keep on thinking that way then Derry.I would wager that some of the 20% are well and truly "aligned". I studied this for a long ,long time,just out of interest really,even looked up the family connections of some of the "non-entitys". You'd be surprised.Obviously they're all independant people backing their judgement in each case :rolleyes::rolleyes:

13th it was. Should have got a decent manager straight away, we knew he was going for long enough. But we cacked up, let Laurie Mac meddle in it,throw in a bit of nepotism and we appointed the Dreadful Duo,which got us into the lower realms of the table as if by magic. Then we got pearson who took a bit of time to get anything organised so we finished 21st more by luck than judgement and we could so easily be lording it over League 1 instead of Leicester today. Except that all those big earning hangers on would have taken a little cut in pay if it had meant not playing in the dreaded league 1,getting the shyte kicked out of them by apprentice blacksmiths and donkey farmers every week. We might have been just as well off actually.

Euell is out of it, he'll probably never play for us again. We might even loan him out and cover a part of his pay

I've read on the BBC today that the players wanted Brynn Gunn as their manager. That will end in tears, told you they would appoint a complete non-entity. He was a crap keeper, he'll be a crap manager-well just next tuesday for a start.

Would depend what the bond note holder had to say about it wouldn't it. If you want to sell your house in theory you have to pay up the mortgage before you do. Obviously your solicitor pays the outstanding balnce from the money he receives for it on completion day. This would probably be the same thing. Do not forget Wilde+Crouch=26.41% of the share issue. If that figure goes over 30% even in the context of a concert party then they have to bid for the entire share issue at the most elevated price paid for any of the shares, ie 65p,Crouch nearly dropped them in it first time round, that's why Wilde learned not to trust Crouch's "enthusiasm" and he got the reputation of bumbling loose cannon ."It is Paul Allen" in the Echo sure didn't help.

I love for someone to kick him into the top row of the stands as well but then I don't suppose I'm supposed to say that sort of thing.

And what is Wave FM suffering from then?

I'd rather have Hoddle though.

Yes of course we got some fine results, when James Beattie hit a hot streak because Fab was setting him up time and time again. However when they went off the boil,driving convictions not helping, then so did we. I know they both moved on, can't remember if it was before or after WGS left.One thing I would remark on the WGS era though is the **** poor number of young players from the academy making their way into the first team. Could be that I'm totally wrong on that, Bridge I know but it would seem that virtually everybody else was bought in, though as I say I could be completely wrong about that.Baird did well in the Cup Final, after that nothing.

No it wouldn't. The only way that he can go against Lowe is by opposing him. You've got to think laterally about all this. Why has no-one (we're told there have been suitors) bought out the club? I mean if you buy out Wilde,Crouch and The Corbetts you're over 30% right so that's more than half the battle, just find out who owns all those little bits of the puzzle and you can get to 51% easy as pie, if Lowe refuses your offer well screw him,you've got control right?. Ah but you can't find them,that's the problem so you can't obscure Lowe (and his cronies) from the picture for ever.Wilde and Crouch tried, cost them a pretty penny and what have they got for their trouble, yep Lowe is still lording it over them and their money, yet neither can destroy his stranglehold with love nor money. The conclusion is obvious, until you buy out Rupert Lowe and his axis of evil (some would call it that) you will never,ever control SLH PLC thus Southampton Football Club. There's only no way of getting rid of Lowe and that needs money, lots of it and then some.Do not forget,if we believe half of what we hear Lowe and Wilde have been offered significant sums for their shareholding in the recent past, so are they going to then,having turned those sums down, let the club slide into administration and lose out that way?? Of course they aren't, but then again they don't want to inject cash either, but if push comes to shove they will, but the less of their own money the better. Players will be sold as a last resort, who and for how much I've no idea.

The maths do add up but you need a PhD in Applied Maths to understand them. Dormant or hidden, the result is the same thing. The club is unbuyable until Lowe and Wilde decide otherwise.

Because it's an inheritance from Mr John Corbett who took up 3.94% of the original share issue plus his share of the rights issue. A total of about 5% (but probably not 6%). These shares were left to his immediate family on his death. I can't recall the names, I know there's Mary,Peter, and Sarah (who no longer bears the name Corbett) but I think there's a fourth child as well. How the shares are split amongst them I have no idea.

You'll just have to take my word for it Derry, Lowe owns SLH PLC whilst he has the support of his axis and Mike Wilde, the rest doesn't matter and I'm not going into it any more. We drove him out, he was always going to come back at the first opportunity,he just waited for the Wilde/Crouch lute to rip itself apart by continual infighting (do not forget Crouch tried to take over the PLC for nothing by a back door method, if that hadn't happened we'd probably now have a Lowe/Crouch tandem). Lowe dealt with that like making a naughty child stand in the corner in class,

It doesn't matter about position, WGS didn't want him playing his natural flair game, he gave him a public bollocking for a harmless backheel flick. WGS had no time for flair or individualism, he wanted effort and graft, even if it meant he was getting only 75% of the true ability out of the playersat his disposal. He wanted nothing to do with either Delgado or Chala, he played Delgado because Lowe asked him to I suppose, Chala never even got a f*cking chance. Same as the two south americans he had at Coventry. Don't forget WGS buggered off the same as Hoddle, different methods to be sure, but neither saw out his contract and Hoddle had a far better win ratio. WGS was OK, nothing special won 39 out of 110.

Yes but then you have to take away all the rest of the "Lowe camp". The Die inheritors, Windsor Clive, Marland etc etc.

So you see as I said Withers has reduced from 4% (1,125000) to 3.56% (1,000000) in the recent past. The 3.08% controlled by the investment broker Charley Stanley no longer shows up.

I'll take your word for it then Derry, you're obviously convinced you're right whilst I believe otherwise. Pointless discussion really.I say that SLH PLC will never be the subject of a hostile take over whilst the Lowe-Wilde axis functions. I have my reasons for that but I'm keeping them to myself. Believe whatever you like about the distribution of the share issue.

As I've told you, Mike Withers reduced his holding by 125000 shares in the recent past. They probably went straight into the portfolio of another Lowe ally.

Most of them are dormant or hidden deep deep behind nominees and offshore companies. If buying a controlling interest in SFC was so easy (added to Crouch and Corbett) then it would have happened long long ago.

But there aren't 2 million share available at 20p or whatever it is. If there were Crouch would have (in theory) snapped them up ages ago to boost his personal holding to 23% or so .
