So this is a p*ssing contest for you ?

The "has-been" and "no-mark" comment is directed at what will be left ón 31st August. Come off your high-horse - you know EXACTLY what I mean. And again, I fail to see what my attendance has to do with stating the f**king obvious about the state we're in. But as usual, you and your illk can do nothing but attack the messenger with the unpleasant news...

Wow, and you accuse others of being in delusion or denial about the situation. The only way you will get them back is a LOT of hard work and RESULTS. And a completel jettison of all personalities that brought us here. There is no trust between the management and the fan base. Trust broken if often gone forever.

The level of cost-reduction required will utterly kill attendance.

DONT YOU GET IT ? Its going to happen anyway, FFS ! You cannot make 13,000 people suddenly part with their money when they know they are going to be watching losing shiit played by complete no-marks and has-beens. In case you havent noticed the average person is currently being screwed by fuel and food inflation, increasing credit costs, rising Council Tax, etc. etc. et f**king cetera. What possible motivation is there to contribute to Rupert Lowe's pension fund ? I am not even sure full-houses are going to rescue this club. There is only one chance to rescue this club - a complete buyout. Othersiwe we face administration somewhen this season.

Yep, agree with all of that. Lowe is an administrator in all but name. -10 points means sod-all if the club is already dead.

OR Reading are using the media to play hard-ball over the price. Therein lies the problems of Lowe and Poortvillet gobbing off in public about our problems. Everyone knows how to drive a hard bargain with us.

Hey nick, whatever makes you feel better......

We're f**ked anyway, mate..

why is it naiiveity ? We've had a few nibbles over the past year. Maybe the club would be more attractive then.

Agree with all you write, but it doesnt help us. Let's just focus on getting Lowe and Wilde out, and trying to keep some players.

how many times do I need to repeat it ? The club needs to be made as attractive as possible to a buyer with money as quickly as possible, whilst still owning a few decent players and assets from which to build. That means as cheap as possible. That means going into administration. Lowe, Wilde and their mis-management will take what they can and f**k off forever then. And we can start again. Who gives a shiit about the 10 or 17 points ? These two idiots ahve no money - WE HAVE NO FUTURE UNDER THEIR OWNERSHIP

If you are going to start calling names, maybe you go and bury your head in the sand again, Mr. Ostrich. This club will not go forward until it has once-and-for-all confronted its demons and past face-on.

Yep, 100% agree. And we might even be bought with a couple of decent players still at the club. F**k the points, this season is a busted flush already.

This investment rumour is now our only hope to avoid administration and relegation this season, I reckon.

Yep, its crystal clear that Lowe's vision of "building for the future" and "putting the club on a sound financial basis with prudent planning" has gone completely, utterly and irredemably tittus-verticus within 3 months of taking over and within 2 weeks of the season starting. The players being offloaded are now the young ones which we were supposed to be basing our entire strategy on. This clown is going to screw this club up once-and-for-all this time. The boat is sinking and the bailing out bucket has got a whopping hole in it.

In that case, it is time to do what is inevitable anyway, whilst we still have a few decent players to rebuild from.

Do be serious mate. Protecting your investment is all about take, take, take in his book, rather than actually put some money in. How about he work for nothing for 6 months, seeing as he expects the team to play for nothing.

LOL. Post of the day, and its not even 8:00am.

If we havent got the players to competently play to a certain system we have to change the system, FFS. Rocket Science it aint....

We're well-and-truly fuuucked.

Policing costs ?

I said nothing about validity of opinion. We are all Saints fans, our opinions are all valid. I think that some people who go to the games think their opinion is more valid than others. Well sorry, more valid it may be, more correct, not necessarily so. And from some of the stuff being written here at the moment, Lowe must be solving the clubs financial crisis with his useful side-line of rose-tinted glasses....

You tell me. A more select audience more likely to be (sym)pathetic, probably..........

Lowe's plan is to sell anything that moves and has a pulse.
