It was a nonsense I agree. Was the question of a photograph also for an AGM

This is the reference to the letter. ' I have received a letter that is sadly anonymous this morning. It says keep the faith in your head coach and his staff, keep the faith in your team and in your youth policy and yourself' Now I see that as not provocative, it hardly says RL you are wonderful etc. I dont believe it was required to be read but it also is not something to get your knickers in a twist about.

Ump you are so twisted up that youy cannot see Im not apologising for him. Instead of getting het up about him you would be better served looking to who lost the real opportunity. We now have had Jones and Crouch saying he was there. Youy may scoff but I heard similar things and why it went pear shaped.

I can see your point Ump 160k is nothing but it cant only be about salary.I accept that RL probably had made his mind up before then although we dont know how he came across in the interview.

Thanks for that L. Reading the transcript I swing from being understanding of one side and then the other. I know the letter thing caused a lot of uproar but it was hardly that provocative.It mentioned more of the way the club was developing than a long worship of RL. LC has a passion for us and he would be perhaps the person who is less guilty than most but he still is not immune Mc is an odd one, she owns upto have got it wrong about MW and so it questions her judgement. I again notice that Jones says PA was about and expected to make an offer. Why did the fans not pick up on this .Of all the disasters that have hit this club the loss of that opportunity is the biggest in the clubs history.The people responsible for that need to be harranged more than anyone. The people who let this go have got off scot free and we are worried that we have loaned out players.Had they not coc### it up we would now be scoffing at the thought of signing such people.

Hang on WSS that is not quite right.

its more catchy i agree

especially when they were playing 3rd grade football.

or it should be 'I bet you wish you had a sh## chairman like me' 'Dontya.' Just thought I'd join in with the xmas fun

You are correct CB, and while I still believe he is/was being picked for financial/commercial reasons you have been foiund to be correct.I think I proposed a wager to give to charity.Remind me who it was to go to and it will be done Nick

I known RC since a kid and whilst he is animated at times he is also a genuinely nice bloke. I dont see eye to eye with him politically but as a person Im more than happy to say he is a friend (I dont know if h'e say the same of course!) What he did was foolish, and so I can see why he was ejected but if he is banned from football then that is wrong.I also saw him at games many times last season

I support Hampshire at cricket and so why not. Knowing my luck as a Saints fan, just as we merged the FA would bring their charges of corruption against Pompey and we would both be ejected from the league.

It wasnt me

The last thing I want to do is carry a banner...with my bad back and all that. Instead of Lowe In, could I abrieviate it so it wasnt so bulky to L I .......oh

I dont think it will be for freeing up wages as RL was here when he was signed (I think so anyway)

As much as I love saints I hate them as much at the same time!!! Why they do it to us I dont know. All Saints fans are special and I for 1 dont take the criticism to heart . As for all the young kids who come on here, I hope you have a great time and get more than a lump of coal and a shrivelled up orange in your stocking like we did in our days......

I cant believe it.Another reason to my mind that Jan really is not fit to manage our club. Wotton has the steel to let the youngsters develop, much like Case did for us years ago.

Sorry Le GOd I wasnt thinking about a banner just at half time. I was more concerned about others who will be less thoughtful and have it there all game.

even those Saints fans who dont agree with my opinions. I have been cursed by being a saints fan and so I wish all fellow cursed souls, A very happy christmas and a prosperous new year

Please no, I am really not looking forward to the Reading game or any game now as we are going to have the anti Lowe stuff ruining the atmosphere.The Reading staff will rub their hands in expectation knowing the club is in turmoil

The concept of getting the squad to a hotel and training during that time is valid.It didnt help on the night but I can't see the club trying to be pro active being wrong. As RL is tighter than a badgers thing I doubt that it wasn't considered thoroughly before giving it the go ahead. I do agree it was an expense that needs looing at but i doubt it was anywhere near 25k

Long shots wording implies a long stay it was not.

It was a 2 day/night break after the Burnley game.I dont know the travel arrangements but if they left from the nearest airport up north they would have returned monday.Trained on tuesday. I dont like the players going on drinking binges (if that is what indeed happened ) but it is not as sinister as some are making out.I would be more concerned if it was on thursday -friday

That is FALSE

what would have richard Wright been on? After all he wasa PL player who had been the subject to some big transfers and at WHU who pay stupid wages until recently
