i never saw Connors post and would like to read it. i think you have mirrors in your house (probably wise) as you are entrenched as well.

Dear Schoolmaster, can you tell me how a man with is it 6% or less of the clubs shares is stopping us being sold? If as you say there are loads of wealthy men out there and consortiums why buying the club is so difficult. i have a business in the luxury market and know something for sure if a wealthy man wishes to buy something desperately price is not an issue. If a new ferrari is 250k and the waiting list is a year they will pay 350k to get6 one, the same would be if i had the money to buy SFC. There is nothing stopping people buying us, period. I admit to not wanting the Wilde bunch, I argued with the majority on here that they were all talk. Again I got the same smarmy abuse from Ump on that as well. Again I find it really amusing that we are told that RL keeps making the same mistakes and his critics arew doing the same.Lol. I myself have made mysdelf clear and will put it again (not in red) I want RL Askham, Wilde,Wiseman,Corbett, Crouch LM and all the others out. In saying that it is no use then them being replaced by another bunch of all talk no action people. Until then I will go and watch and support SFC through rough and smooth. I will not have a paddy because RL leaves and so not go again on principle the same goes for any other director, I really dont care if they are there or not as long as SFC is. I also say the owners/ board/ chairman have never done a thing for me as a fan, and I wouldnt expect much anyway as i pay to go and watch a football team that they put together and me in my foolishness feel attached to it as it is called Southampton, not Rupert Lowe 11 or Leon Crouch 11 because if it was i would have given up years ago.

Well the lads at the front were confused when they were carrying their 'Wotte out' placards and when they were also interviewed for the telly. Now what was the march about? Was it to get Rl to leave as well as getting Wotte out, LC in, MC as chairwoman, LM to return? You ask a lot of the marchers and it would be a combination of Lowe out and a mixture of the rest

Well you may have been able to mark your replies in red, are you a teacher?So 32000 turn up and some are neutral. What a surprise, every game has neutral fans there.The point which seems too high brow for you is that the crowds is dramatically higher when a glamour team come. The chairman is the same, therefore it is fair to accept that they turn up when the games are more glamorous or we are winning. not because the chairman is Lowe , Crouch Corbett or Michael Jackson. I call him the chairman as Lowe gets a bit tedious all the time. Well if you think there are hundreds of wealthy men or consortiums out there get off your backside and get 1 in.Nobody else has been lucky and it is not as though it isnr common knowledge we're for sale. 2000 x £30 is 60k is useful, but Im still sceptical they would all come back if RL left.It didnt happen last time did it? I wish for them all gone, and until then I will still support the team, I still went when the Wilde bunch rode into town and came in against my wishes i didnt sulk until they were gone.

lol

thats the next thing who can pick the teams. Willwe all stand in a row and wait for a captain to pick us in turn?

If the Trust was there to give suggestions of how we wish for say the stewards to act or how to get the beer served quicker then fine, but if it is to tell the club that Saga should play every game or Size should be dropped etc then it is not for me.(not that Im advocating either of these things should or should not be the case)

there'll be some CLOGgers there dont worry

I think it would be apt if the first team were there and giving us their thoughts of how good we are and boo and moan at us for not doing it right.

Setanta wont be shwing it but Frank warren has shown interest. is there a team fielded that is for All the board out as thats the one I want.

I think that needs looking at, exactly what we will get. i think that the club kit is due to change? and so the kit may be redundant (either home or away) I stil have my shirt at home and it was a great momento. I personally think its a great idea but we do need to know exactly what we are getting.

Well if you were at the game you will know that when Utd scored there was only celebration apart from in the away end in corporate and a few in the directors box.The chairman was RL, I do not know all the fans personally and when we were in the PL the make up of the crowds were the same, and no doubt the SU game last season the same. Until you realise that not all fans are driven by who is on the board and stop actring like a kid as yuo can't get your way and have a chairman you want you will forever be upset. I would like a chairman who cares for the club who is wealthy enough to get us a great team. At present we have neither and no one around remotely like it, so i get on with it. If the oppostion or the team is doing well fans will turn up. Only a couple of thousnad are that motivated to not go due to RL at best. yes we are all tired of the squabbles in the boardroom but i myself would only accept him gone if they are ALL gone. Dont tell me i dont answer questions because i do, it is just because you cant accept my opinion or answer that gets you riled. You havent got a good enough arguement to make me become a very anti Lowe. i want him gone but only if the rest go. If not we are in the same position but just different faces. Tell me when in the last 30 years the board have really delivered to the fans? I have been used a a mug punter since i first went in the late sixties and still am. The club have given me nothing except a few great memories, lots of sleepless nights and much frustration.

I respectfully suggest that the numbers allowed in the changing rooms would be limited.i suspect that we will only get 16 a side. If it is like football aid the club give you a shirt with your name on it. I promise you going into the changing room and seeing a shirt hung on a hook with your name on the back is worth every penny.. Whilst Im a bit old now Id like to do it and perhaps my brother would as well.

yeah but the Lowe lot would have the advantage of double barrelled shot guns and so you socialist lovies could be the duckies. Itell you what the shooting would be very accurate

and how can that prove anything, the gates after the last few results will improve. I may as well say all the pro Lowes turned up for the Man u cup game and the stadium was full. That exercise should have been done when we were at the lowest not now. If we go on a bad run again (i dearly hope not) then try it but after a few wins it is a worthless scheme as it proves nothing. I suggest a march will show how the fans still feel now. The fear of relegation galvanised fans and many lost their nerve/patience and so joined in. i would doubt a march would get 75% of the marchers it did then.I also feel that many would now not feel comfortable as it got confused about Wotte out and also sitting in public highways.

Lol, positioning to hold a position are we?

Thats the new word for is it?

Ump you are behaving like a drama queen not me , I dont need point scoring as it is not a competition. I was surprised that you were so critical as i believed you were a better judge and would perhaps see some good .A compliment in a way, but as your reply shows sometimes i am wrong. By the way i concur with you re Shearer, he never looked as though he was going to be the player he became. i suppose in time you learn how to compose yourself when through 1 on 1. Learning is part of a players development.

well who do you believe the Sun or the league who have the figures. We were not even in the top 3. The agents fees have gone down this season and last , well done to all who have trimmed that bill over the last 2 seasons.

I think you are right to some degree.It would be best if RL and MW left the club, but do you alos agree the rest lock and barrel should go. Surely you wouldn't wish for LM KW Askham and others still to be there.They all have played their part, it is just RL who has been the fall 'fool' guy. As for NP he is a legend on the back of 3 wins. Yes he keep us up, but I know full well that had he been a Lowe appointment it would have been said he took us from a comfortable position that we could have made the playoffs to 20 minutes of going down. He has had an easy ride as he was part of LC's time. NP was good for us as he united the fans and that is why I wished for him to stay, but boy did he nearly mess it up.

Thats fair, but of course at the moment, in my opinion, neither NP or Wotte are brilliant. Wotte in his own words has done nothing unless he keeps us up. If he does he will have done a far better job than NP did. Whether he could unite the fans like NP did is another thing.

well when i think Sundance used it? some of the anti RL didnt like it at all. I respect that, but it doesnt offend me but I wanted to be considerate to all about it.

He will prove you wrong.I am confident like KD and JE in the last year where I also had people telling me that they were the worst footballers to wear our shirt and proved you wrong. St M Im not surprised in, but people like UMP and StW Im amazed about.

Thats fine Stanley but I suspect you should respect posters on here who do find it very offensive. I myself do not take it so bad but I think wording like that does inflame some. Its not my board and so Robbie can word things as he likes I just think out of consideration it may be best not to use it. That is all.

Thanks again for that UM. I do recall on the eve of the first march how he did a tv interview and was saying he had a manager lined up. It could be my imagination of course.I think him saying he was to rid us of Jan by implication would mean he would rid us of Wotte as well of course.
