Saint Fan CaM

I think the line-up makes sense. We need to start scoring early and Saga did not get a look-in on Saturday. I rate Smith higher than Lallana at the moment. I am not sure who is the better - Wotton or Spiderman...not much choice really...both poor...wish the midget was available. (Edit: We'll still get wopped 4-0 or 4-1). )-:

I take it this is the match thread?

It DOES work actually - listening now. And its free.

Radio Hampshire link works actually...free. (-:

Yeah, I got the same thing...boo! Lowe out! Oh.

My SaintsTV account doesn't seem to work...just getting an intro message and no commentator. Anyone else having probs? Just have to listen to kitchen radio s'pose.

I think we'll get resoundingly thrashed tonight. In fact, I'll be surprised if we win another game this season. L1 is a nailed on certainty points deduction or not. We're just THAT bad really, lets face it. Score? 4-1 Watford.

Even the people listed above who still care for the club and are still involved (i.e. Crouch) are saying "lets move on - no more blame - survival is the most important thing now". Why can't you? In fact, I think in the interests of the club and positivity, the MODs should ban and delete all future threads started that involve Lowe and Wilde. They're history - look to the future even if it is in L1.

Nail....head....hit square on. Perfect summary - saved me some typing there...thanks.

Oh dear - we're so bad in this country right? Try getting anything done in mainland Europe during August, then tell me we're the worst! lol

Good job NickG

Whoever it is, sounds like a complete plank.

Got proof of that have you? If not, I suggest you take your foot out of your mouth and start thinking a little before spouting rubbish. I cannot believe how small minded some fans are about this - LC has lost £1.6m and he still works his socks off to save the club! And I know for a FACT that it's because he loves his football and loves the club. What are YOU doing to save the club?!

What an utterly pathetic and totally untrue statement. How about they're trying to save the club? Is that too hard to understand?! Just tell me what ill begotten gains Crouch has received?!? He bought his shares - they were not gifted, stolen or gained from some murky deal. He worked for nothing whilst in the Chair at SMS - has not taken millions out of the club to feather his nest, unlike some. Sorry Art - I considered you as a once respected poster on here, but the drivel you have spouted there has shown you up as complete numpty. :smt017

The simple summary is that we could do worse than Sounness, but we could also possibly do better. At the end of the day, its the evening - however, its a stormy evening for Saints and any port in a storm comes to mind.

Terrible performance from the team - I hope Wotte knows how to give them a f*cking good boll*cking after that. Size had a mare of game. Davis and Perry were fantastic. We had a child at RB - should have put Liptak at CB and Perry in at RB. McGoldrick got totally lost in the game after he scored. Lallana looks SO unfit I think at 49 I could outrun him over 100yds. No decent passing of the ball - no creativity - no breaking to the byline. Today reminded me of the rubbish we used to see when JP was in charge and confirms to me that Wotte - unfortunately - is not the man for this club and certainly not the man to get us out of League One, because that's where we're headed for certain based on today IMO.

Alpine is right - fact is there are some of us that realised that while administration was a terrible option to face, the club was so far gone (and in so many ways) it was the ONLY way to realistically get rid of the old guard and usher in the new. Tough pill to swallow, but sometimes the old adages of "no pain no gain" and "one step back, two steps forward" can be oh so true. Lets not gloat though Alps - now is not the time - we need to see it happen and stay in this awful division first.

LC has put so much more into this club than his shares, the statue and his personal attendance! What about all the ball, player and match sponsorships, the two boxes he hires and his time which he gave up free? There's probably more. I know Leon and he is a true passionate Saints supporter who succeeds in his various ventures because he puts his all into whatever he is involved in. In terms of a fan with executive level presence at the club, we could do a lot worse I promise you. And incidentally, anyone who thinks LC did a bad job appointing Dodd best remember that this was only a temporary placement until a suitable candidate was found. It's called not taking a knee-jerk action and getting a decision right first time. Leon did that fully when he finally found and then appointed Pearson.

Ah, I wonder whether Rupes and Mike the slug will be coming back for more than Jacksons Farm. What about SMS itself? It's propery afterall and they're both into that kinda thing. Perhaps Lowe wants to re-develop SMS as retirement homes in a bizarre 'reverse take-over' type affair!!! LOL

done...

Look I don't want to see Saints die, but neither do I want another version of the PLC and fragmenting share ownership in this manner is just that in my book. It's a final option perhaps and one that I could support purely as that.

Hasn't got any money?!?! I think at the very least, you've managed to exagerate that claim! And anyway, LC might just have a consortium lined up for the SFC Ltd. And Lowe and Wilde might just have one lined up to buy SMS Ltd. Who knows - its all speculation at the moment.

Not unless a 'deal' was done prior to todays announcement (remembering that we have NOT YET entered administration). :smt017

Ah Art - nice to see you post again. Even though it's a post that sets out what could well be a horribly prophetic comment. I was suggesting some months ago that the PLC could go into admin and the club could be saved, although I really did not think that Lowe would stay on. Now I am of a mind that Lowe and Wilde will take SMS Ltd on and perhaps a new group possibly involving Leon will buy the club. Property for the property men and football club for the passionate Saints man. Seems entirely plausible to me.

Excellent post...a voice of reason.
