He did take corners and free kicks so perhaps that may have something to do with it. Perahps you could inform us which game he played well in , as I say I cant recall him playuing out of his skin in a game, let me know which one so I may remember.

I agree with you. I would love for someone else to takeover who was credible. Not anybody though.

I think he is not, and generally the kds are playing the proper way but have not the cutting edge when we get to the box

I cant recall what happened about DePedro but I thought there were complications, I thought in WGS book he said he was never interested in them but Lowe liked them.

I myself would not fly on any american airline to NY.

Does he warrant 4k appearqance money on his performances so far for us.I cant recall many if anyt games he did so.

at last humour today

you are probably right DD. I just cant stand these people picking at the carcass when we are still breathing. There seems a preconception that it is easy to sell an asset that is 25m plus in debt , losing 100's a week. We have had the party and now the clearing up is having to be done. The Wilde bunch came in and pandered to the fans and overstretched us and then failed to make provisions. RL has come back to protect his asset (and his allies assets) cas best he can.If you look at it I dont think his value is that much Ump would tell us more exactly but I doubt if its more tha 500k at present.Even if its a million he can stand that and it wouldnt make him potless, but he has power due to his pact with Askham etc and is trying to save the club from administration for himself and so ultimately us. Perhaps for differing reasons but I know he does care for the club and whilst finance is the main thing it is not the only thing. Some believe we should have kept NP, i was nopt 100% behind it but 70-80% happy that he'd be the man for the job.Then the cost cutting had to be done and he became part of that also I suspect RL wanted to go his way as whatever went wrong was always going to be pointed at him and so he may as well fail his way if he was to get the blame. I dearly would love us to get a couple of experenced pros in to help the kids before the window shuts but I cant see that happening especially now that the crowds have dropped.

why start a new thread on something that is already running?

why is he wrong. To a degree the lack of finance through the gate means we are more likely to sell, although I beleive if we had gates of 25k and we get the opportunity to get %M for him he is a goner.

Unfair IMO he is the type of player some are saying we need to get to help the kids along.I think the kids need someone like him to bring them on and saturday he was very good in defence. Safri is a different type of player and I was a great fan but we couldnt afford to keep him.Wotton is one of those players who you dont notice but he gets on and does a job and seems to be in the right place at the right time.

So after the cup final who was choosing the players.WGS who did he go for McCann, Phillips those 2 players cost a fair amount. We had a team that had done ok and didnt need wholesale change.The bitter pill to swallow was that Bridgey was wooed away and he was an integral part of our attacking success.Not easy to replace and WGS said despondently at the time that the smaller clubs will never be able to compete as as soon as you get near they take tour best players away.I beleive that made him finally decide to leave. I dont6 recall RL making us play our young players first time around and so I cant see your 'return to using the acadamy youth' Please furnish us with the examples of us playing wholesale acadamy players? Of course it wasnt the case, but like Boro and Man c if you have a good acadamy if players are good enough you play them.As for his treatment of the fans, you only have to read the 'Would you' thread and you see he is not far wrong. Swapping places with Leicester FFS

This asylum is being taken over by the lunatics. Of course I wouldnt want to be in a lower league. All the posters on here who would swap places and mpan about the quality of football we are getting and then want to watch it even poorer.As a lot dont go it doesnt effect them I suppose. I understand fans giving envious eyes to Brum or Wolves but Leicester as because their manager was with us a few weeks in his wonderful 3 winning period then I dont wonder we have falling gates.

Im told that Lowe is away and was not at the game saturday

Looks like all the missing fans are at the Walkers stadium. Madness, if in a years time they do go up and we are relegated then Id want to swap but now ? not in a million years.MM money didnt keep them up and it seems the history books are being re written about MM success, he got Pompey promoted by having money to spend after all the other clubs had been shafted by ITV digitals collapse. He had overseen many managers and eventually fel lucky with HR, even then he nearly ruied it with his spat. You lot carry on with your Leicester love in I m happy to stay a Saint.

go and support Leicester it seems to be catching on. value for money? What doesw that actually mean when you are relying on 11 blokes kicking a ball. They cant guarentee you anything, those lads give it all for us smething that fans have questioned of our players for a long time, we get that and now after only 7 games we are all down oin the dumps and would rather be Leicester than us, its pathetic.

Not at all give us your name? You of course wont so why should I give out names of people I know. The point is and you dont like to accept it is that some of your own fans who know of you find you an embarrassment more so than Westwood. I would expect that could be that he wouldnt ever bother come on to a Saints site, why would he want to mix with us.Any normal person would not wish to do so, as its pathetic. You are a classic 50 year old sad#### living at home 'with mother' It is even more laughable than you are so keen to pay to do so LOL. Go and read your railway magazines and look at your bustimetables before you have to make the old one a cup of tea.

I respect a lot of posters on this forum but some who have said Yes on here have lost a lot in my eyes. How many of them use the 'we had 3 managers in a season' to bash RL and then convieniently forget that MM did last season and were relelgated with a squad that should never have gone down.NP has a team that it will be criminal if he fails to get promotion, they have many players that would walk into many of the CCC sides. Again when someone is elsewhere they become demi gods. Richard Wright did well here , he has done SFA elsewhere and has made at least 3 howlers this season. Leicester have started weell and I dont follow their results but I do know they got a good away win at Orient saturday after losing at home to Millwall. I would not contemplate swapping places with Leicester and the fans that would and do not go now should hang thier heads, after all they have the chance to watch a higher standard of football from the one they are harping for.

Of course you didyou better speak to Alpine as he doesnt like people to have any snippets. He'd rather just fanstasy stuff to read.

Im not assuming the mantle of site ITK I am happy to share a little of the things I have been privilaged to have been told. Put me on ignore and then you wont have to worry about it.You can then go on making up your wild assumptions while others can read if they wish and make their own assumptions whether I do know facts or not.

you would as you like players to have their confidence shot and fans on their backs.

To a degree you are right it is your fault.You wont like to admit it but if we had another 10k fans not only would the club be less under the cosh financially the lads would have a bigger backing. Less money coming in less to buy players, its easy.

Said to be a real inspiration and leader in the dressing room as well as KD so Im told. gave the lads a real rollicking after the game saturday for not wanting it enough. Imo him and Perry were outstanding saturday. KD very happy at club and dint want to leave even turned his phone off last day transfer daedline (Imnot sure if I read that here but was confirmed true to me)

Im sure it is done with the best intentions but I think it is fairly obvious to all and sundry we are for sale. Robbie i think you are a stay away fan (apologies if Im wrong) It qwould be better if you came to games and gave the players some backing, we get some wins and go up the table.The crowds will then get bigger and the club get financially stronger.

did HR do anyt interviews as he normally sends the others out after a bad result. Im a bit gutted as I have James Campbell and Johnson in my dreamteam!! That'll teach me. Pompey will still do well this season but it did help the week end.
