Not really entirely true is it?

Congratulations Alpine, you have finally made it into the Guinness Book of Records as the most depressive,negative,ignorant man on the planet. Who let this bloke back on the forum? Are his rants worth 5p, let alone £5??? Feel free to provide evidence that Lowe is not interested in the team. And while you are at it, some evidence that George Burley is a "drunken f*ckwit". Your pathetic rants are wearing a bit thin. If you are so bothered about what is happening at St Marys why have you moved so far away? Don't the Austrians have things you can vent your enormous amount of pent up anger on? Attitudes are changing but you my friend are a Dodo and thankfully a dying breed. Michael Wilde showed you up as the the knee jerk reactionary you really are. Even when it was obvious that Lowe was on holiday in Canada you kept harping on about how poor it was that he hadn't made the trip to Exeter. You show your self up in every post you make. You are an embarrassment to SFC and the best thing you ever did was to b*gger off to Austria. Thank God that the true Saints fans are seeing he light and posting more and more on this forum. You and your ilk are a dying breed here and than goodness for that.

For God's sake man. get a life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Times must be hard if Michael Wilde has to appear to do his own PR spin!! (wink wink) But nice to see you here Michael and great that you put Alpine firmly in his place! I must also apologise about being so mean and unsupportive of your takeover stance, but that "Evolution not Revolution" thing did rankle a bit. Anyways, fair play to coming out to play with the riff-raff. SOG

If that was the case why did they turn up at pre season friendlies? Maybe there was a good reason they were not there, but that would not fit in with your agenda would it? We won a match and all you can do it bleat on about Lowe again Alpine, give it a rest and enjoy the fact we are through to the next round (or are you gutted that we won?)

We actually stayed in the Prem for many more years than perhaps we should. We also made the cup final. Failure?

If things go well for the club this season would you still feel the same? Did you "hate" him at Cardiff at the Cup Final? At the end of the day the bloke is just someone who runs a football club. I can understand people not liking him but hating someone you have never met is a bit strange.

These people are supposed to be professionals and are paid to go out on the pitch and play to the managers instructions. If they don't do that they are more damaging to SFC than all the negative posters here put together.

At the end of the day his points haul was not that great was it? Not trying to knock him, but he hardly set the world alight did he? You would think we finished in the top six the way some people go on about him. The truth is that we stayed up by the skin of our teeth. I hope he does well in his new job, but I hope our new guys do better.

Feel free to find a quote from me where I said that he was God's gift to management. I merely said that I thought he wasn't as bad as a lot of people here thought (check out his record against other managers) and that we did okay in his first full season. We were inconstistant but much closer to the play offs than relegation when he left and after he left we fell like a stone. It is all very well harping on about Pearson but he only won 3 games and nearly took us down. I don't know Burley personally but can imagine that any manager worth his salt would have been well hacked off by Hone's statement and by having his better players sold from under him when the expectations were so high. Good luck to him if he found a better job. Who here would not do the same? Anyway, he is history now so I am waiting to see how the Dutch Duo do as they are running things now and not Burley.

How many managers did we have last season? Who were the people in charge?

On the one hand Lowe gets blamed for meddling too much in team affairs and now it seems he is getting balmed for not meddling enough??? Make you mind up. You can't have it both ways. If he expected these managers to play the youngsters more but they decided they didn't want too, that is their right as Manager, as it is his right to be disappointed with their decisions surely?
