In my opinion JP would have known of the interest and had assurances of his future.Perhaps he woulld be made in charge of the reserves or youth.

but surely if the club have put a lot of highly paid plaayers on high contracts 3m is nothing. That is where the mistake was made and not acting sooner to cut those costs.It seems to me last season nothing was done to start the cutting and in fact it seems we took on more .

That is fine it just seemed by your wording that you may be pointing the blame at RL. I find it interesting that the wage bill under Gb is asd high as it was under HR.That to me is scandalous, who ever oversaw that needs shooting.

To be fair why not ask Corbett, Wiseman or Askham.Id love them all to do so but they have no obligation to do so.As I say get rid of the lot I dopubt there is any we'd miss, but stop just picking on 1 of them as they are all culpable.

It depends when he read your post. It had to be over two seasons ago to have any weight.Typical of you Johnny come latelys you spout all your love and sing his name when he was Judas a few weeks before. You can carry proclaiming your undying love for him, but Im sceptical.Show us the posts

I can only accept things as I see it. If I told you the same you would think that is arrogant an no doubt find it an affront for me to dare suggest it.

are you really saying that RL is responsible for the next 2 seasons? Forget about the relegation because that happened and you have to react to the new circumstances of our position. the first year was always going ot show buig losses as the club had to try and dismantle a club that was pL in all except its league status.It had built a PL cost base you dont shed that overnight.

Ok thats fine but I will if you and the others will or is that not the way?

This is something that I cant get around my head. There was much talk of Gavyn Davies and Frost etc, but where are they now when they could buy the club very reasonably. They may not have been therre in the first place but RL was able to proceed. Business can be a dirty game and Askham saw the best deal for himself and his other cohorts.I had waited from a kid for the new ground and it was in his initial tenure that it was provided.There is much discussion how and who was responsible but he was the man in charge at the time and like Brown who got the credit for the boom Lowe must get some for the stadium.I also recall him playing in a Testimonial and the fans singing his namer and willing for him to score.None of the abuse then, this of course carried on with us moving to the new stadium and then with WGS and the cup final. No boycotts then, no I wont be putting money in his pocket etc etc.Can you see why I get dismayed? Yes mistakes were made, but not by only him. He was chairman when we went down and so he must take a large proportion of the blame but at the same time he did change the personel and we did have a squad that should have stayed up.He didnt give away the leads or miss open golas, he gave the managers enough tools to do the job but they and the players failed us all. They have swanned off and taken thier big bucks (far more than any of the chairman) and left us in the mire. As i say find us a decent alternative and I will happily follow.

How many pages will it take for some to understand that the fans also have had a part to play in our downfall?

I dont think many are on 100k a year yet, that is why we are playing them.

Trousers the problem must be that the OS must ghost write some of the stuff and they will tow the club line. I believe the players are behind what we are doing (especially the younger ones) and so try to rally us.Footballers in the main are just normal people and are not politicians and so give out the same old stuff.

I stick up for Lowe, the players and some of the managers if I feel they are not getting a fair deal from the criticism. Wanton criticism that is not valid I will defend. Sadly a lot of the abuse is not thought out but just because its Lowe. I have said on many occasions get a proper alternative and that is fine but something better than the last lot who did not ready us for the parachute payment coming to an end.To me that is fair.

my wife my daughter my daughter, every so###ng week

not there Im not Hillhead. Perhaps if you get a quote where I am I might be able to confirm it.And do not confuse me understanding the constraints the club is under with Lowe being my beloved, I would take another person to run the club at a drop of a hat if they were better.We tried it before and they were worse, so find us a good un and I will follow place some more jokers up like last tiem and I wont.

I think it was pointed out this morning that the administrator has no responsibility to leave the club in any state for future but only to get in as much as he can to pay the creditors.

E750k

i think the opinion is that he is a good coach but a bad manager.

we can pray but I dont think so.MC seemed to have someone who knew that set up, the club should buy her a ticket and get on a plane and get the deal sorted and tell them there is no problem they all want to go ahead.

I did think that they wouldnt resort to letting your type into the hotel and a quick call confirmed that to be the case.In fact they said they moved you on as the Keep Britain Tidy campaign was coming to town. Halmosi is a good player but he plays in the PL and Norris now at Ipswich was indeed a target one time. Now Teale I thought was good and it surprises me he has gone to Brighton, I would have been very happy had we got him.

Like myself you seem a passionate fan. We both see the raids differently but do want the same thing. If old pro footballers were cheap we would have been able to get rid of ours. Some of no quality or on Bosmans would be reasonable to a degree. What I think you will find is even if they are Bosman frees the money instead of transfer fee is now a signing on fee, or larger wages. The kids in the main will be on 50k a year and some on more (guess) wheras an older player would have moved up the wage structure the last few years and be commanding a few k a week.Now he may take a cut in wages to get to play but not down to the kids level. Therefore you get a lot more young players for your money.Now whether that is a good footballing decision that is another thing but if you are trying to convince the bank you are trying to cut costs to stay solvent it is a better arguement. I still think we need to hold back and give them time, as there is no other route until january at the earliest.

good man , I knew you were someone of good character. we need fans like you and 1976

well I hope it is not from the Victoria Hotel in Sidmouth as we like to go there to get away from ther rabble.

I dont see the problem with that if you dont point the same finger at LM Wiseman Askham and the rest of the crew.

Im passionate about Saints and so say things in their defence.Most I say I believe in and so will be cutting
