Probably. It explains why he is making them all over again. Bottom line is that he sees SFC as a business, not as a football club.

Aye, that lunatic obviously isnt aware of what's going on in the world economy at the moment

Crouch and Pearson would have done wonders this season compared to the mess Lowe, Wilde and JP are presiding over

Or Rasiak.......... Or Skacel......... Or Euell........... Loaning out players we desperately need is one thing. To teams we have to play and will also play our relegation contenders is another..........

After Wednesdays match it was pretty clear that the "youth only" approach was in the process of being ditched by JP and the experienced players were in the process of a comeback. Only, of course, Lowe wasnt going to have any of that, so he slapped the rebellion down by loaning out Stern John. Well, that's what I think anyway. When JP has had a gutful, he'll quit (Lowe wont sack him - costs too much, and sod the decline until he reaches that point) and Wotte will take over a no additional cost. I reckon Lowe's real plan was for Wotte (we know Lowe had his eye on him for a while) - he only brought JP in to serve as scapegoat/front to the fans during the nightmare upheaval period of getting rid of all our decent players. Once their gone, JP can be discarded and Lowe can get on with the real "master plan"

YES, and I'd love to know the reason why anyone was deluded enough to vote NO.

Any from Davis, Euell, Skacel, Surman, Lallana And all 5 will probably be gone by end of January.

Yep. A fatal miscalculation that could kill the club. I think he got a bit greedy and star-struck after seeing what happened with Bale and Walcott.

Maybe JP broke ranks on Wednesday night. Maybe he broke some standing instructions about who to play. Maybe that is why Stern John has left today. This theory, that Lowe is getting rid of players that could do a decent job for us - but break his cost/wage/playing cheap youth principles - to prevent JP from picking them (let's face it, the mid-week performance left it difficult for the older players to be dropped), would be reinforced if a couple of other deals magically materialise (i.e. Skacel) I am wondering if JP has had a bust up with Lowe because he can no longer do the job under the constraints imposed on him, and on Wednesday thought "f*ck it", and Lowe is acting to prevent a repeat.

Were they big ? I would have said Accrington Stanley.

I wonder if Lowe ever thinks about those decisions he made in his quiet minutes alone..

1. We are not selling players. We are loaning them. The only one we flogged was Andrew Davies, and we made a loss on him. 2. Please provide a list of those players whose combined value is 8million. I reckon you would require the entire first team, tbh... 3. Attendances will drop even further, wiping out any calculated "saving" from paying Stern John.

There is NO other way to realistically look at this situation. You are spot on. We need a takeover by the end of the season, or 124 years of history will come to a close..

Since we are talking about a publicly listed company, the rest of us have to be told - eventually. Though I have to conceed that Mike Wilde seems particularly adept at avoiding this issue, he has experience with Merlion of failing to submit accounts, of course..

We wont avoid administration. And I dont understand how you still fail to see the bad feeling this causes is going to backfire into a false economy due to even further slumping ticket sales.

You beat me to it. Love the avatar, btw..

Sorry, I am desperately trying to find a logical explanation for an apparently otherwise completely and utterly stupid decision. Only thing I can come up with is that Lowe is trying to push us into administration.

Bollllocks..........

Agreed. I was outraged about Rasiak (2x), Saga and Skacel. Now I just view the news with exhaustion and resignation..... Feel really sorry for ST holders.

How do we know there isnt a get-out clause for all 3 parties in January ? Maybe Watford have just told us Rasiak is coming back.

If I am wrong, we are in such deep shiiiit that there is little chance that this club will avoid administration before the end of the season. There is absolutely NO motivation for stay-away fans to return.

Reckon Surman or Skacel could do a job there. Is it too far forward for Schneiderlin ?

I reckon Lowe knows he's going to be lumbered with Saga and Rasiak again come January (neither is having a particularly successful loan period), and is therefore just making sure he can afford at least one of their wages. On this one occasion (possibly because if I had a choice of striker to have I would place Rasiak first, Saga second and Stern third), I will acknowledge that Lowe is doing nothing wrong here.

This was my immediate reaction too.

LOL. But I am sure you are cheap.
