Long Shot replied to Secret Site Agent's topic in The Saints
my allegiance is to the club and I will get behind the man (or woman) who I think is best placed to save it. Once that person appeared to be Michael Wilde which turned out to be a mistake, but right now it is Crouch I believe, although it may take a bit of help from others for him to be able to succeed. Unfortunately the man at the helm at present is the person who can do this club most harm, especially in such treacherous waters. -
Thanks for that - unfortunately sometimes you have to ask people to read between the lines because you can't really say what you really want to. That oftens gets peoples backs up. I certainly wouldn't want to be considered in the same vein as LLS or St David who were in my mind toying with the forum. It is all bloody frustrating I accept.

Only last week you were claiming Lowe doesn't get involved in football matters. I think Bassett has made your assertions of last week a bit silly, Frank.
-
Who said they weren't there? Not me. You have a pm Trousers.

Up until now I have been against a boycott. Up to now I thought it right to get behind the young players who have at least tried to play decent football. Up until now I have tried to ignore the fact that deep down I suspected Lowe was pulling the footballing strings. Gray first let the cat out of the bag, along with the Delgado signing and Bassett's words spoken, I think without malice is the last straw. For me enough is enough and despite having a ST I am minded not go again while Lowe is, for all intents and purposes our manager. I cannot support the players and team he picks. I don't care if he makes good decisions the fundamental principle of a PLC Chairman directly meddling in team selection policies is wrong wrong wrong. When he is either put back in his boardroom or he leaves then I will relent but not until.
-
You could not be more wrong I am afraid, and you will have to take my word that that is a FACT
-
Trust me Bassett is not a bitter man - if he was he would not have waited until someone asked him a question on a radio show 2 years after the event. The same old "shoot the messenger reaction" should not be allowed to cover up the real reasons we were relegated ie Lowe's meddling.
-
This will not go down well but Bassett's revelations do vindicate Redknapp just a little. I have long maintained it was the way Lowe treated HR that started the rot. I met Bassett a few times way back and I would say he tells like it is and is not an axe grinder
-
Accept it would have made sense but I suspect some sort of underhand motives. Agent or third paties at work maybe but there is no way Lowe would have parted with £1.2 without having it red ringed - no way! The whole thing stinks if you ask me.

This was a done deal last summer - more wool being pulled over eyes yet again.
-
This is more evidence that JP is too much of a tinkerman especially with Schneidelin and Wotton. In and out every other week.
-
Not sure that is the answer - as other leeches would just come in and bleed us dry and make off with Staplewood and Jacksons Farm. What we need is Lowe and Wilde to step down and then a team come in to manage the club hel[ped by a little financial backing which will be forthcoming once Lowe and Wilde's depart. Will it happen? There's the million dollar question right now. If things stay as they are though it will be deffo administration.
-
A good honest post from the heart. I just wish some fans would get their heads out of the sand. Keep the faith, mate I know Leon Crouch is "on the case" but it is not easy dealing with Lowe's ego.
-
What will Lowes excuse be when Portvliet leaves "by mutual consent"?
Long Shot replied to Mole's topic in The Saints
Perhaps Mr Lowe will leave before JP? -
Are we better off than when Crouch was here?

I am sure Morph can answer this for himself, Roman but in the meantime I do gather LC's plans did unavoidably change at a late stage. Did not see the Lord Marland bit, must check Morph's sources on that one. -
Of course you are entitled to have an opinion but you were saying or preaching even that the fans should give the players more support and yet you don't bother going yourself. So if we took a leaf out of your book there would be no one giving them any support whatsoever. How bizarre You really aren't for real.
-
Hmmm - you say the team need support but you also confess that you hardly ever go! A good case of don't do what I do just do what I say.

Pretty sure LC was not in his box yesterday, I think there was a late change of plan. -
So the corner has yet to be turned? No point building from scratch with loan players who will return and others who will be sold - thats not building.

Nick thanks for that slight vote of confidence. However you may have misunderstood what I have said. I am not aware of any new investors as such - but I believe a few out there (inc Crouch) would put enough into the club to stave of looming administration. I think unfortunately while that is a slight glimmer of hope w ehave a long way to go before we are taken over. Also, Dubai Phil - the Runnymede minutes show just how impossible it is for all 3 to work together - nice sentiments but it aint going to happen I am afraid. -

I am sure Morph will not mind me setting one point straight here. At no time did Morph say anything which was based on Fulthorpe's investment plans. As far as I am aware Morph has no connection with Fulthorpe's alleged consortium. He/she mixes in completely different but no less influential circles. -

Roman I was only reacting to someone who accused Crouch of financial mismanagement and whilst the gang of three are still actively involved in the politics of our club I believe it wise to keep an eye on the history. Also I don't neccesarily think there WILL be a new Board although undoubtedly there are some working hard to achieve this before administration beckons. A lot will depend on Lowe seing sense and that is what concerns me gravely.
