Yep, it's all the fans fault. What complete waankers :rolleyes:

I stand by my previous support of him. Nobody was to know he either suffers from serious judgemental issues or is a bit flaky ... My one regret looking back at the whole sequence of events is that Crouch's sudden reluctance to back Wilde unequivocally at the Northam Social Club meeting was largely glossed over and not questioned. And for this reason out of all the main culpritts, Crouch is the only one I would give another chance to.. Greater and closer (wo)men than me (Trant, McMenemy, Corbett) were conned by Wilde too...

You'll have to forgive me. In the current TSW climate of slapping on the sarcasm thickly with a trowel, I cannot tell if you are taking the **** or not...

Yep. Really cares, doesnt he ? How did we ever end up with this waste-of-space ???

Yet not one of the supposed "put downs" I have received has made ANY sort of coherent argument that SFC has a safe long-term, mid-term or even short-term future with the current board and strategy (because I actually think deep-down none of you believe it either). That is why your put downs have zero substance... As LostBoys has already indicated, Lowe is just postponing the inveitable for a couple of months. The result will be EXACTLY the same. Short of a non-existent buyer coming forward, administration WILL happen. I do not share CBs confidence that Lowe will avoid it with his current strategy. A business without customers will go under, whatever it is.

Why is the football club chairman not attending today ?

How about getting the team to put in performances that actually inspire the fans to be noisy ? I dont even go that often, and I am fed up of the fans being blamed for our plight.

I wish I could see the body language and facial expression to go with the lie, though...

R, its going to happen somewhen if we continue on this course, and there is zero chance of the course changing because we are talking about one R. Lowe. If suppliers are really stupid enough to be continuing to provide SFC with lines of credit considering the known state of the club, that's their fault. Its not selfish to want the inevitable to come at the best time for the club, which is clearly before another season becomes impacted by it, and I resent your accusation. Once more - dont you get it ? Administration WILL happen on the course Lowe has plotted. He is doing NOTHING to increase revenue (look how the team supported yesterdays initiative...), and the cost cutting he is undertaking is also reducing revenue, so he is solving NOTHING.

What a spineless tw*t. He really isnt fit to be Chairman..

Excellent question, and I am more than intrigued in the response it would provoke.

The fact that you have performed the sort of analysis usually reserved for the last month and 6 games of the season shows that we really are up to the neck in the soft, smelly, brown stuff....

Crouch over Lowe by a long, long , LONG way. I still reckon that Lowe forcing Crouch out and then doing away with Perason may have been the death blow after a long beating for SFC. There are so many comments on this thread that I agree with that it seems pointless to single any out. Except the moronic contribution from adriansfc, of course..........

Absolutely. Amazing so may dont get it. I wonder why they follow SFC at all and not ManYoo. IF SFC dies, it dies. I will be sad, but my club will be the one that rises phoenix-like from the ashes with the word "Southampton" in the name somewhere, whatever division they are in.

You keep writing the same patronising dismissal of my opinion. Why cant you accept that it is my (and that of others) preferred course of action to breaking the ridiculous and infuriating cycle of events that is destroying this club, to get back to the sort of club we want to have, rather than saying "we're too stupid to understand" ? Take a look around you, FFS. A decent gate turned up for the first time since the Crouch/Pearson days, and they were subjected to the worst f**king performance from the team in many a days. A lot of those fans are probably lost now for the WHOLE season, and the club cannot survive on 14-15,000 gates. So Lowe will get shot of more decent players, the football will get worse, so the gates will get worse. If not now, when the STs are renewed. Unless a buyer is found for the club it is going into administration somewhen. I reckon its about 90% certain. We are arguing that we take the hit NOW rather than see another season damaged by it. The sooner we address the almost certainty of it, the sooner the remnants of SFC start their recovery.

Fine. You carry on accepting the status quo, the complete boolllocks being served up, then.

I didnt say that; I said it is a tactic the apologists employ. Standard fear tactic...

I understand that if we go into administration before March, the points are taken from THIS season. Even if we dont go into administration this season, I reckon we are down because of the way we play. You dont think it is worth taking the (inveitable, imo) bad medicine now before next season starts ? You are right there is no guarantee that Lowe and Wilde will be gone post-administration. BUT- my feeling is that there is a greater possibility of coming out from the shadow of Lowe and Wilde by this route than by preserving the status quo. Do you not also concede that the club and fan base being Lowe- and Wilde-free is more likely to have a positive and united atmosphere surrounding it ????

I know, just joshing...

heheheheh. Did you mean that ??? Yes, I want to sack everyone who has no idea of what to do next

We got two goals back against Burnley, donchaknow ? The fact they were coasting/sleeping at 3-0 up seems to have been largely disregarded.... I hate this ridiculous English "underdog/gallant loser" boollocks, where we can forget a result as long as the opposing manager makes a compliment to the press about our ability to play the ball in pretty triangles...

heheheheh

That's the second time you have wrote that tonight. I thought you were being presumptuous the first time, now it seems you are on a wind-up.

With an attitude like that, hardly surprising the state we are in..

They've gone back to the "administration is evil", "we have no money" and "what do you suggest ?" tactics...
