Apparently Reading are offereing a coaching job to JP too.

You know my ex-wife then???

We couldn't be much lower could we? But if we guarantee safety before the end of the season this year that would be a step forward would it not? Albeit not a huge one!

Well there is nothing you or I can do about that. He will not be here forever and at some point we will have another CEO to slag off.

Perhaps he was in the Boardroom replacing Lawrie's picture with their one of the train???

I would happily take that money to be badly treated week in week out. Why is it that football is so different to the real world? Okay, so footballers have short careers. There is not such thing for a job for life for anyone. What is stopping them from getting another job when this one finishes? With the ridiculour money many of them earn they could buy a house outright and not have to worry about a mortgage like the rest of us. These people get paid to do what most of us (when we are young and fit) happily do for nothing and good luck to them. If Skacel is being so badly treated here why didn't he go to Ipswich when had had the chance? Because of cash. He chose to stay and be treated badly rather than take a bit less money and be treated better elsewhere. Your choice Rudi mate. I would swap my situation with yours any day of the week.

I wonder is the RSPCA has any figures realting to pet abuse after Saints games?

Let us not let Pearson's record at Leiceter blind us. Fair play to the bloke he is doing well in the 3rd tier. But he hardly set the world alight at SFC did he? If he had he would have presented Lowe with a harder choice. Of course, in hindsight, we can all see that he probably would have done a better job than JP, but at the time, with money being tight, a choice was made for a three year plan that was more cost effective (at that time). Pearson is not here any more, nor is Strachan or Hoddle. Time to move on.

But Boards don't get sacked, it is the lower orders who get kicked out. JP was the manager of choice and JP didn't work out. Another choice has been made and for all our sakes we can only hope that this will turn out better. To be fair to Lowe not all of his choices have been awful, but they can only be judged in hindsight. We are no different to any other club in that respect. Take a look at Charlton, a decilne quicker than ours. Who goes there? The manager of course, not the board.

I really don't know mate. The only glimmer of hope that I can see is that apparently Wotte is not a "nice guy" so maybe he will ruffle a few feathers and get the bit more out of this bunch that we need to get some wins on the board.

I don't knof if your remember Frannie Lee? Great player for Man City. Ended up running the club and was a disaster. I don't believe tht Rupert Lowe goes to work every day and thinks, what can I do to bring anguish and pain to the SFC fraternity. He has the balls to make tough decsions, whether they are right or wrong, that is for people to debate. Where I work right now we have a hated boss. Sadly for him he cam in at a time where we have had £500,000 slashed from our budget every year for the next 3 years. He cannot replace staff when they leave and the workload is piling up on thoe who are left. He too is quite arrogant and self opinionated, but he too has his hands tied by financial constraints.

Tough match but I always fancy our chances more when we play a decent team. 2-1 to Saints.

I think that this club is desparate for a decent level of continuity in managers but sadly there was simply no other choice. Whether JP would have worked over the 3 year plan we shall never know, but as things stood, his time was up. We can only hope that Wotte turns out to be a better bet.

Well deserved. He took an enormous amount of stick but he has turned things round and has been a model pro. Fair play to the bloke.

These people might well care about themselves (and who doesn't if thruth be know?) but I do think that they believe that they are doing the best for the club. If Lowe was going to asset strip wouldn't he have done it long ago?

I thought that people were made of sterner stuff here. If I have offended your sensibilities then I apologise. I have been on the receiving end of domestic violence myself, not generated by a Saints result though!

Wilde rode into town on the populist pony when we needed some to make prudent decisions. Becaue he was a fan and because he wanted to please fans he probably made decisions that, shall we say, were not so prudent. Whoever runs this club needs to try and balance the fans expectations with those of the banks - probably a near impossible task right now and not a job for the faint-hearted.

Nice to see that feedom of speech is alive and well in your world Gingeltiss.

Before Lowe left the first time there was a train of thought that we needed a fan to run the place. I have no doubt that both Wilde and Crouch have SFC's best interests at heart but I think both prove that fans are not always the best people to take a club forward.

It was meant as a joke. As for calling for an infraction, isn't that like trying to get a man booked???

Starting to win games? 3 in 13? By all accounts Mr Crouch was dithering over who to support up to the last minute because he wasn't sure that Wilde had the cash. He threw his cards in with Wilde who evidently did not have the cash so no great decision there. As for Wilde, I am sure he came in with good intentions but probably should have stuck to his Evolution not Revolution mantra. The trouble with revolutions is that they often end up with the originators sidelined and others pulling the strings. The fact that Lowe is back in the hot seat is testement to how successful Wilde and Crouch were between them!!!

Jim Henson is dead Legod. Maybe that is our problem?

Second funniest post. Has he left yet?

Don't say that Alpine has been battering his misses as well as Lowe???
