Wotte declaring he was satisfied with what he's got 24 hours before Gillet was ruled out for the season was a HUGE mistake.

Seeing as SLH holds all the assets, and buying SFC entails simply buying the manager and players registrations and contracts, SFC will cost f**k all because our manager and players are shiiit. However, a fortune is required to rebuild, and most likely any new owner wont have it. Ergo, SFC is now a pub team, thanks to Rupert Lowe.

All his fault. Putting aside the perceived ability / inability to pay player wages this season, he appointed two clueless Dutch d**kheads when we had a great young English manager already at the club. He has thoroughly destroyed this club....

Funniest f**king thread on here - EVER.

Football League making sure that they can save face when they decide they cannot deduct the points.

no, no, no, you have it wrong. He is "world class"....

The only consolation I can draw is that, one way or the other, this club is going to look VERY different in 12 months time..

We simply do not have the players to fight back into this game and into this season...

Yes, well you seem to have been delusional for quite-a-while, to be honest..

A thumping and-a-half is coming here..

I will be furious with Lowe if it turns out we really have attracted this calibre of interest. All those years wasted on a power hungry gimp starving the club and bringing it to the very edge of the financial abyss..

An excellent idea.

Pathetic.

Because he apparently loves the club, where as, just like Jim Hone, anyone else would be in it just for the money.

So Illingsworth is lying, then ??

Spot on. the people you should blame for you having lost your money are Askham, Lowe, Wilde and Crouch (to a lesser degree)

More scaremongering.

I reckon Crouch would have, for the greater good of SFC.

In all the hulabaloo, I am sure many have forgotten that a fair few saints fans have lost money too. Maybe that is why many have argued so vehemently against administration. However, the shares had lost their value before admin. SLH was a busted flush. You cant blame those of us who think admin provides the route back to having a successful club.

Anil and Mukesh dont get on. Mukesh wasnt anything to do with Anil's interest in Everton and Newcastle.

I want SFC to be successful. I think that it is impossible whilst Lowe is there being obsessed with off-pitch issues I think that it is possible if Lowe were there as a chief administrator tasked only with bringing success on the pitch with no distractions from that task. Lets face it, he's a bastard to negotiate with, apparently. The sort of job Lee Hoos was doing - WITH NO INTERFERENCE IN TEAM ISSUES, because vision would be set by the new owner. Not the opinion you were expecting, is it ?

But hang on. The clubs strategy and direction will not be of his making, it will be of the owner's. I am of the opinion that, taking the media- and public-facing role away from him and making him the chief administrator, is not a bad idea, if he were willing to face the challenge. Which he is probably not, I know; when he means "help", history reveals he means "control and dominate".

According to someone on TUI, he is an Indian Billionare in advance talks to buy Saints. Was this Mark Fry's first meeting ?

Whoever buys this club still has to put a decent administrator in place.

Grow up. Its a serious question. I am wondering if he we would quite effective in this role - IF power, ego and ownership issues were irrelevant to him. He says he wants to help - could he do the Lee Hoos / Peter Kenyon - type role well ?
