I think we rent Staplewood

the so called Lowe supporters as I would be counted as i suspect have nothing to be sad about in doing so.I still believe that what he did stopped us from this even earlier and we still have not assertained what state the club was in when he took back the reins.This situation can be traced back to many other things that we have argued about for years. i will await for the results of this latest saga before getting too down.

Jones gold tooth has gone then

I think it wouldnt have disappeared and whoever took over would I expect honour monies already been paid.Obviously people in the main would have paid by credit card and safe, but it still would be hassle and something that has thankfully been avoided.

That is credit to the club,whatever people may think of it.

If Wotte keeps us up it would be a poor decision to sack him, apart from that go saints

Sadly it is not an april fools joke, but I feel strangely confident that something positive will come from it.if we avoid the 10 points then that will be plus. One thing I believe is that we have fantastic fans, together and as a people we will unite behind the team and it could be hell of an atmosphere saturday. Just a fantasy but it would be great if the ground is nearly full and we can show the world what Southampton people and fans are really made of right until the end of the season.

April fools day and this news comes out.It just underlines that you have to be a fool to be a saints fan

I have to leave that to people who know more aqbout these things, but my gut feeling is that it would be illegal to hive off assets like that.

Not sure

I doubt they could BTF.

You are too forgiving what about all theo thers who have been part of the decision makers? When the accounts come out we may see more about LC's tenure

that would be ironic that by being a PLC it was in the end the reason we saved the 10 point deduction.

Of course we can go back to his first tenure and relegation that ultimately cost us.Saying that you have to react to the situation you find yourself in and so cut the cloth accordingly . sadly we got rid of the tailor and let the cack handed apprentice have a go. As i have said many times it is the WHOLE not just one person and going back decades.

I would think that is the least of our problems.Surely getting investment in is paramount.

Yep it was done in a dignified way and not pointing fingers.Top marks for that.

Well they should know,as in the League that is. I suggest they have the information put to them by the club.

Stanley i would wait and see before dancing on anybodies grave. Only when the finances are published will we see the state of the club that he took on.He may well have made things worse, but I suspect it was in a dire position and whoever was in charge would have brought us to this position. It will be argued about whatever.

I think you will find this is one of the reasons why the s/t's were not put on sale. By the time they are this issue should have been sorted.

Lol, I can raise a smile even in these trying days

That is why I wonder if they do have something up their sleeves.It was madness not to do so last week if it was definately happening.

That is my feeling CS. I have always been cynical about the bard from my childhood. i have little respect for them, a closed shop that was a mickey mouse boys club that evolved into a cynical business. SHAME on them all.

It is not just Lowe though is it.We have a boardroom full of people who have overseen the bad decisions but in the main too cowardly to show their faces.Yes the main face is Lowe but forget not all the others who should hang their heads in shame. if they pull a genie out of the bag then all is forgiven but it is sickening.

I got a message today saying that people were informed yesterday and by doing so it is easier for investment. I dont know anymore and hope posters like Clapham can give more on it.Whether that is the case I dont know.I live in hope i do know 100% that RL has been showing investors around in the last few weeks but if it has bearing on the decision i really dont know.

EFM i dont like your analogy. As for transfers, i can come up with many numpties we have signed. The Pulis one I can't comment on if he is any good as I have yet to see him play.I doubt many have on here,I have no doubt he was part of the Davies we scratch your back and I'll scratch your back deal. Gasmi i have seen once or twice and both times i was underwhelmed, but how can you really judge in 2 cameo appearances? GH probaly had the worst record of signings, WGS hardly better, HR ? Gb brought good and bad, Wotte so far has done well with Size. Every manager/club signs some poor players and with the budget we have got then these players now may well be the'good old days' in 3 years time. If you met me you would put me in the miserable old git category but I just have a very dry sense of humour and many people can't work out if im taking the p### or being rude.
