Craddock from wolves ??? Sounds as though wolves want to keep him but i am sure his starts would be limited in the prem. Perhaps if he left he may want to see out his days on the south coast ??? CDAJFU IMO

SWF user's future

Hurry uuuup and wait..... but whats worth waiting fooor !!!! I expect will sum it up.

Never needed to, perfect face, perfect body...

Is he not the bloke that killed someone on the road ?? No thanks !! (If not, then yes)

I can see the point you are making and TBH agree with it, i can myself see how the man was thinking, as much as he got things wrong. I never though thought (how anyone can actually believe) that it was his main aim to bring SFC to it's knees, that is just rediculous. Unfortunately as we all know football clubs are different to running a business although running them as a said business seems to be the only way people know how. TBF, i believe if we had just Wotte from the start and only Wotte we probably would not have gone down, as for pearson.. who knows ?? He may have had a disasterous second season, i don't actually think his performances and results towards the end of last year were actually that fantastic ? He is no messiah, just got the simple things right and we got f'n lucky. Unfortunately though i have been told stories of people that have worked for the man (very closely not as in a tea-lady guys) and let me say the stories i have heard, i would not have wanted to have worked so close. This i suspect was his downfall, plus the reason that he got so many negotiations right, also brought him down... being stubborn. Unfortunately though i think every one that has an arguement is biased to some extent, i will admit i air towards the side of anti-lowe (as much as i try to keep arguements balanced) but unfortunately, we are what we are. That is opinion. And thats what keep this site interesting. :grin:

Hmm, since my move to Juventus, saints have been yo-yoing back and forth between about 7th to 10th place and guess who is in charge..... WGS. Still, enjoying life in Seria A at the moment, however my team does not appear to have a reserve team and so all my reserves and first team subs are lacking match practice........ poo

For the record i think he scored so many international goals due to the overall poor quality of opposition.

Of course all IMO

Guys we are still in a recession in which a lot of the big hitters (serious money men) have been hit hard and are probably not inclined to be looking at a football club at the moment. Especially a risk at the level of investment it could take us to get to the promised land. This is why i think we are looking at consortiums of differing amounts of people and TBH i think we should all just stop the slagging and moaning about those names that are flying about which are obviously TRYING to save the club. As far as MJ, ok, i never heard of him before the bournemouth thing and before i joined the forum but i now know what a debacle that was, that being said and Fry being in an administration company he must have heard stories ETC and been briefed (if MJ IS involved) on what happened so he can't be blind to it, and must be checking things out. As for the others, all i care about is having a club to support, christ i would even take Lowe back if it was the only way. I can't see how people bemoaning these guys helping are true fans, if you can't accept the club being saved by anyone right now, you obviously don't care enough.

As was said on here, Lowe ****ed up stoneham, we managed to get the St Mary's site. Which TBH is a sh!thole and i am not surprised the council gave it away, they may have got use of where the dell was knocked down (i don't know). IF we had managed to bolt extra revenue streams onto either stadium it would have helped to keep us affloat, especially through the non-football months. If he had managed top get a station built ? (any genious would have seen this as beneficial) it would have been miles easier to get to, plus may have stopped some of the congestion. So IMO, the one glarring thing that everybody has said he got right.... he managed to almost **** up and not do as good a job as he could of.

You got it then, nice car, rapid ?

Kronnie please mate

Ok, there were times.... and they failed miserably. As i said before, do not take the above post as if i support Lowe.... christ i do not, just don't think ANY of the others have been any better.

Unfortunately i agree with this assessment, as much as i blame Lowe (mostly) for our downfall, he was never one to overspend and was always far too cautious with his money. He did however ensure with his crazy managerial appointments and continually revolving door (like football's equivalent of the apprentice) have pushed us further and further down the league. Would we still have been in administration if Lowe never left ? Maybe ? He would not have overspent like the other people messiah (crouch, who i believe has his parts of blame) however we would never have survived last season if he had been there. IMO

I do agree it is in a good location in the centre of town and is a very nice stadium (but as has been said before nothing outstanding). But i do feel that having no extra revenue stream does not help matters in the slightest. Apart from a couple of concerts thats all there is, through the summer months we have no cash flow and no alternative other than football. Unfortunately i don't think that there was the space to expand any further, they couldn't even put in the train station for christ sake. If they could have it would probably have been a much better choice than Stoneham in the first place. Also, as for EBC, i seriously believe it would have helped Eastliegh City Centre, a centre which at the moment is dying i might add. Transport wouldn't have been that terrible, no worse then over populating Southampton City with everything from the cruiseliners to IKEA. What was it the bloke from SCC said about how they would sort out travel ?? "well everyone would have to just leave earlier" or something along those lines.

Sorry to hear buddy. RIP and deepest sympathy

Oh god........ you were making sense then i fear you got all delusional there for a second.

I expect if there were they would be being held back.......... saving money and all that. On second thoughts this probably isn't far from the truth

I notice you were not listening to Solent either.... hmm, just me then

The other chickens ate him ???? Had they not been fed ?? Do they have teeth ??

But atleast now you know who to trust on the internet

God i cannot believe i just sat through that mindless drivle, why i didn't decide to turn it off to another station after i realised nothing was happening i don't know. Still Sitting in the dock of the bay was a welcome relief. How do you guys manage to stay awake long enough to hear any saints news on the station ??

Should NEEEVEER of signed, still his goal against Arsenal was priceless, for the result and hilarity. Plus, as far as we are talking expensive players, Rory Delap ? good but hardly worth our top transfer fee was he ?? Someone said about Beatie too ? I felt at the time Everton was the wrong move, he is better playing off of someone and recieving crosses, Everton don't tend to do this.
