The same person who appointed : Wrigley Gray Sturrock Poortvillet Burley

I would have said all of them

Yeah, but the gloves come off in the summer...

No, I'd blame Strachan, Strachan and Southampton City Council in that order. The bastards...

When did he promise double relegation in 3 seasons under his charge ? I missed that...

If Wilde's team had delivered us promotion at the end of the 2007 season, he would be regarded as a god in these parts. He was let down by a twaat of a manager who dropped his highest goalscorer and highest assister for the second half of the season, played the wrong team in the first playoff leg, and gave the first peno to the worst player on the pitch in the second playoff leg.

It's still bolllocks. Blaming class issues for all that has happened to evoke such anger at Lowe is lazy, convenient and Echo-like.

Agreed.

That is complete bollllocks. There are many reasons why the anger is directed at Lowe and not Wilde, before even considering class issues. Here are but two : 1. Despite valliant attempts to re-write history, it was LOWE who started our decline, not Wilde. He failed to invest in the team properly at critical moments, and oversaw a horrific managerial turn-over. 2. Wilde does not project to the fan base an impression of being vain, narcissistic, arrogant, self-opinionated or aggressive, and appears to have more an interest in the football than Lowe does (even if his ultimate allegiance is to Liverpool). Wilde just projects the impression of an empty vessel, which is far less offensive.

Its what we all want Dunc. Good post. And I wonder why O_B doesnt like to get PMs....

Have you read the offending piece, SR ? This is just Illingsworth usual bleat about a Trust member on the board, garnished with some half-baked ideas which verge on the bleedin'-obvious-but-unworkable

No, it would have been if it hadnt been ruined by the usual petty little grab for personal power and priviledge. Instead of people going "hmmmm" and nodding their head, they are sn.iggering...

Dear oh dear...

Same old ST Holder = Ueber Fan bolllocks we've heard a million times. I fund the club with more money every time I visit SMS and use its facilities than you do, Johnny.

Yep, agree with all of this.

Yeah, right, football news my arse. Why havent you got the balls to admit the job you are doing for him ?

A few weeks ago Illingsworth got really defensive towards me on his site when I had a go at him for promoting his private pre-match bar arrangements instead of the protest march on his site, telling me I didnt know what he was up to behind the scenes. Now I know. The same old rehash of the attention-seeking crap the Trust comes out with every so often. Any open-mindedness and serious consideration Lowe, Wilde and Crouch would have given this evaporated at the first comment of a Saints Trust rep on the board. F**king twaaat..

How observant. I am sure you honed that skill looking for continuity errors on Brookside.......

Cant be bothered. Dont really seem to need to apply myself to get a rise out of you about your Mickey Mouse degree, anyway.

Dunno. Couldnt care less to be honest.

But this issue is not just disgraceful, it is unethical and, not being an expert on employment law, may even be illegal. Do you not find it bizarre that Lowe is so Mum about financial issues and uses "disclosure" issues as an excuse for silence and to protect his precious share price, but that info like this somehow made its way out to a regional newspaper ??

Temper-temper......

He's right about you, though.

Reckon your second paragraph is more important than the first.

Why is Saga banging them in now, when he didnt for Burley last season ?
