I know Lowe thinks the world of himself but I didnt realise he also signed himself. I think you can change that to Rasiak ,Um

Um surely like the way Hoos was preparing to buy future transfers by staged payments I know that the sales in some cases were the same.eg Walcott who we know LC went cap in hand to get the payments in at much reduction early. I agree if Lowe signed Rasiak it was an expensive deal, but if that is a riticism why then do we have the other posts saying he didnt try and invest, it cuts both ways.

Duncan this may have been lost in other posts, could you answer these as it is disconcerting news

2 queries Um, So the first season down saw costs reduced, who do you put that down to? What was Plan B the next summer?

apart from Fuller and replace him with Hoddle and you are there for me

As tme goes on and he holds on I get the feeling he will stay. Ihave been told that the protests dont faze him.i myself wouldnt need the aggro but he seems to get inspiration from it and almost then wants to stay to prove people wrong.Reverse psycology sing his name and he'd walk...only kidding

So the minutes are not accurate. I can see why fans find it upsetting.RL certainly knows how to get under some peoples ribs,I suispect he knew exactly what he was doing and it probably knocked the anti's off their pre arranged track. Clever really, perhaps not required although just as needless as bringing up about a picture for the boardroom

Thanks for digging that out Um The staged payments for the other buys are even more scary when Hone would have seen us £17 m down the year before.It makes the spending even more reckless than I had thought.

2 or 3 people have said the same to me, almost that we expect her to make a 'mira cle'recovery and so another five years of Hello contract. Max Clifford as her agent also makes me a little cynical

Should she not die in dignity for her childrens sake? I myself would not wish to have my parents death be filmed for the world to see, so that kids can watch it on Youtube etc.Something that will live with them forever and will be shown to them inadvertently in the future.The lady is dying and so Im very sorry for that but i believe that she may be driven by cynical people behind her to her last breath to get a little more money from her.After all she is not the brightest around and she may not be getting the best advice. It is a sick idea and the days of the Victorian circus are still with us now

I think Weston arranged for him to become a registered user to protect his anomoninity.

This is where I have issues with your stance at times Um. Surely you agree that the club after 27years of being in the PL would be structured in a way that it would have far higher costs than the majority who have yo-yo ed over a period of time.Contracts would still to be honoured and of course you would understand that we couldnt dismantle the PL set up straight away just in case we did go back up in the first season, that would be stupid. Therefore a little leeway could be allowed for that in those figures. I also thought that there was a war chest waiting before Wilde turned up and some was spent on Rasiak, but it is a grey area when and who did buy him

Duncan I find your claim about MC being 'physically' intimidated quite disconcerting.Are you saying he has laid hands on her in a threatening way? Can you enlighten us alos to the 'people who were involved in the figure work and figures at the time'? This meeting seems quite interesting and perhaps even enlightening, was LM there as well?

I enjoy reading his jousts with UM and FF always entertaining.

How about we share the honour

thats true lol

and how do you know this? I know he has been out of work for a long time and might need the job/buzz again but why would we be such a draw to him.If he brought that tw##' Heath with him i may be forced to do something drastic.

I do understand and I also have sqaid on here it should be 1 out all out. The debate does get polarised to RL/LC .I have noticed in the last few weeks where people like myself have mentioned the others in the background that posts are now becoming more prevailent about the damage they have done. I think the White Witch should be recalled to lift the curse on us again.

The trouble is a lot of our players are such a high wage for their quality we cant get the wage bill down easily. So the mismanagement only started this season Lol. it started decades ago, we highs and very many more lows.We then had a time of changing of managers for various reasons (not all our own making) and we got relegated again for various reasons.Yes RL made some appalling mistakes but he was not the only one to blame. The Wilde bunch came around and a vast majority of fans chose him.It is funny that the fans are wanting to apportion blame to the chairman for bad decisions and then convieniently fail to see their own MASSIVE mistake. RL should go for his staying with Jan too long and sadly also not down to his importance but as the fans will never be united with him. I have been told that the fans protests do not faze him and in a way he enjoys being the pantomime villain, I doubt marches or singing songs about him will get him to step down. He probably believes that we will get out of it still and if so all those defeatists will have to eat a bit of humble pie. I will not be persuaded that the unrest is there solely because of who is chairman , I firmly believe that it is due to the fact that we are facing relegation and so turn our angst against whoever we can thrash out at.He is somebody we can all aim our anger at.

You should listen to the Steve Wright show in the afternoon. RL has nothing on him, unless you say how wonderful the show is etc you will never get a message read out.

You may but many would complain that the free buses were topped the Itchen corner closed or we had signed last years Euro footballer of the4 year and not the current one. Even under LM there were fans questioning his decisions including me I may add.

It tells us we are abysmal when he plays for us if your analysis is fair

but he is right, if those things happened now or under RL fans would be banging on about it.

Well I dont believe that the club made any attempt to embrace us as fans when we were kids in the late 1960's early 70's. As I have stated before fans like myself as 8-10 year old kids being thrown out of the club car park while we waited for the players autographs.I suggest that John Corbett was our chairman at that time. The club has been an old pals act for generations but only for commercial reasons did the club become 'family friendly' Obviously I have had my opinions formed by those days but it happened and so that is why i am cynical about it.

Apart from that what have the Romans done for us.
