Oh indeed there are, from very reliable sources too ; - )

Do you mean film exists of the incident which led to the "union" of MW and RL ?? Who's that figure in the shadows Mike ? behind you......... ; - )

I thought we established there is no lowe involvement. Dont start dragging that ***** up again please.

Look, whilst it is a rather simplistic view, there are two parties interested in buying, and therefore saving this club we all support - with the possible exception of 19C that is (!!!) - one has their bid in and the other, by all accounts, are rushing to put theirs together. A few weeks ago we feared we would not have a club to support or just as bad was the prospect that Lowe would try to buy it on the cheap and carry on his mad experiments ! lets all calm down, let the people who have to do their jobs get on with it and may the best bid win. None of us have crystal balls, none of us know which will turn out the best so lets not start *****ing at each other cos we all want the same thing - a bright future for Southampton FC - and if people are willing to put a lot of money in to save the club then so do they !!

and so the nature of forums.....we have gone from thinking they are our knight in shining armour to possible chancers in the space of a few hours !!!! As i said before, lets just wait and see what the next few days brings. We have waited long enough for some good news, a few more days wont hurt !

Thank **** for that, thats all I needed to hear : - )

I assume we can breath eaiser in the knowledge that RL is nothing to do with those who have their bid in can we ? See, the more you read the more paranoid you become dont you !!

I think in fairness a number of those variables could be to do with non football issues - credit crunch, state of world markets etc etc. It only says it is harder to assess and in this day and age with the credit crunch well and truly on that makes sense and has to be taken into account. A lot can happen in four years.......just look at SFC 2005 - 09 !!

To be honest that should be the ambition for anyone taking over the club shouldn't it ? Promotion from League 1 within 2 seasons then a push for promotion/play-offs again within a further two ?

I presume Mr Fry has given a deadline for the MLT backed lot and that the ones with the offer already on the table are aware of that, otherwise this is just a case of first ones in are the winners and surely this whole process is a lot more business like than that,,,isnt it ?

It would be great if we could all sit tight, ban possible names from being posted on here in case it gets out of hand and scares someone off, and wait and see what this week brings. As somebody has mentioned already if someone who thinks they are ITK starts blurting out names and by luck or knowledge they hit the nail on the head and that has an adverse affect on this person/consortium buying the club could you live with yourself if the club goes to the wall ? I know I couldnt. Lets just practice a bit of self control for a few days eh ?

Steve Cotterill anyone ?

No, dont want too much attention being bought to a post that asks far more relevant questions than Lowe and his mates, inc. you it would seem, would ever have answers to. Come on then, you seem to enjoy the role of defender of all that is Rupert so how about answering some of the questions raised, cos each and every question has an answer that has led to our rapid decline.

The players dont give a **** about the fans, with the exception of Kelvin and one or two others, but not many.

no thankyou.

Well at least Lowe got to see the wonderful job he did through to the end. Thanks Rupes......now **** off !!

I think there are more important things happening in the league today than us ! Bet he cant wait til we come up against Hartlepool next season tho !!!

19C in a slagging off of people who are trying to help club shocker !! You really are the lowest of the lowe (spelling intended before you start smart arse)

Well there you go, I read it as if a buyer is announced/found before then !!

See Lloyd James in mentioned. I had kinda hoped we might keep him and get a manager who, and I realise this is contreversial, might actually play him in his natural position of right midfield. I bet, if he goes, it wont be to play as a right back !!

It was Woodford, Askham was on the Board but not Chairman. Hopefully the new owners will be "customer friendly" and understand something of the history of SFC and as a charm offesive to win the missing fans back this could well be one of the actions they could take. IMHO all four stands should be named after those who have had the greatest positive impact on the club so, yeah, one stand named after LM and the three others after ???

Not yet.

Gone back to the Academy by the looks of it !!

As the money is not going into the club account and supporters will get their money back if the match is cancelled does that mean if a new buyer is announced in the next week the game will have no reason to go ahead and therefore be cancelled ?

Lets not choose to forget that throughout the Lowe/Wilde/Execs/Crouch/Lowe & Wilde dream team/Administrators merry-go-round there has been one constant - the Finance Director, Mr David Jones. Repeat the word FINANCE !!! So is the Finance Director not partly, or largely as it is his job, responsible for the mess we are in, or am i being stupid thinking that he must know whats going on financially within the club ? I wouldnt want him looking at my accounts thats for sure.
