now Im confirmed as the away team manager I expect full respect from the team, none of the 'you old git, you don't know what you are on about' stuff . I will be bringing along my medals to show you to gain your respect......well medal, Shirley School under11's player of the first half award. I expect all my team to be keeping to a.) 9 pm curfew ,b.)no drinking,c.) no womanising, d.)no MasterBatesing, e.)a 5 mile run every night, f.)practising passing dribbling g.)shooting skills (not as in c.) or d.) ), h.)and a strict careful eating regime. If not, I'll be pulling you off at half time, to some that might mean a bonus but being pulled off when my hands are made of sandpaper is not recommended unless you are Pinochio of course.Leave the excesses to Dubai Phils team. Come on you greys/flints

Poignant to say the least.If ever fans need to wake up it is after reading that.(not due to that) The fans need to turn up so at least we have a club to sell I suppoose is the best way of adding to it.

yep and paying for the pleasure.Lol

Lol...you might be my centre forward by the way and so call me gaffer in future replies Ta

to be fair the Chester fans on there were very decent.They were saying that it was wrong for them to take another clubs place and get what they deserve.An aquaintence is a Bournemouth fan and he went to Chester and said they are the worst fans he has seen deserting after going 2 nil down.Reading their forum I think that is unfair.

but we dont know how it would have panned out in the long run.If I recall correctly when RL was ousted the first time a few of the better people in the acadamy were off as well. Jennings was head hunted and so was the guy who went to Liverpool but I still feel the concept had we stayed up would have worked well.It was just relegation destroyed the plan. Theo and Bale did save us from admin before now as their fees have propped us up the last 2 seasons.

Rupert Lowe ,Prutton, Hiigingbottom Claus HR Wigley Sturrock Crouchie and all the other weak minded players who didnt have the backbone to stop 2 goal leads slipping away etc etc etc..........and also fans like myself who made a big who ha about Hoddle returning.Now of course there could have been better options than him but in principle I believe I was in a minute way responsible as well.It was definately a defining poit although we could go back a little further to WGS 's decision leaking out that he was not staying. There is a plethora of reasons RL being a large part but not the sole reason IMO

I agree with that, but with a better squad than we had this season he nearly failed. i dont doubt he would have done better though

I think you havent read all the others above you WSS, but it is good

well they only had 1 in L1 and so 1 is the answer.

A bit previous I suggest Robbie.I think we should see what we get from the ashes before deciding how clever some were to bring the regime down.

I think we have done this all before. It will only end up as another anti Lowe debate which carries on being devisive.I do understand your thoughts though but it is best we leave it now.

Dont you go on and on about it Ron. i heard you the first time

that is a good observation

Wotte walks away after missing out on the if Carlsberg did managers contract

I never have said RL didnt have a big part to play in our demise but i wouldnt accept it was all down to him. A subtle difference. As for the car thing you are not who I thought you might be then

you'll all be kissing his feet and singing his name when we escape from the drop. But that is funny.

As far as i can assertain we do not have a coach at the club who is a chester fan, if we do they have kept it quiet

It was a gamble and was IMO a major part in where we find ourselves today. I agree with Umps stance that it was due to our relegation that is why where we are but from my standpoint, you react to the current conditions, we had gone down due to a catelogue of errors by RL /squad/managers but when the decision was made to spin the wheel the people in charge knew the financial problems we were up against and the consequences if it went wrong. In a funny kind of way RL has been made a mug of by MW and the rest as he came back and will forever be the one who most will point thir finger at and the people who did the reclkless mistakes IMO can sit back and let RL take the flak.

Ginge as i told you the other day I know Totton quite well and Tanyas (chopsticks) Station road is the best chinese takeaway around IMO. Ps do you drive an old Jag/bentley?

I read that and couldnt be bothered to pull him up on it

I had the impression it is very difficult to get money out of South Africa

fantastic jesture well done Goodies.I know they have saints stuff on the walls of the shop in Totton

Crouch and LM calling for support is likely to get some positive reaction RL doing the same would only prevent us selling more tickets. Surely LC etc should say look RL is no longer here come on back and join us again.
