RinNY Posted 16 October, 2009 Share Posted 16 October, 2009 Yes but at least Leeds lived the dream & had the memories of good football. All we could enjoy was some rather dubious catering and the fastest growing radio station in er ... Southampton. This is a totally pointless thread: Lowe is gone and we can all be thankful for it. But, since you have brought it up, what a f*cking selective memory you have!! Does SMS mean anything to you? A state of the art training complex? One of the most successful academies in English football? Some good years under Hoddle and Strachan, including out highest ever Prem finish and the FA Cup final? Because all of that came about under Lowe's chairmanship: if your memory is not functuioning, you could look it up. I don't mean to defend Lowe: I'm glad he's gone too. But I really don't see why people have to forget the good because of the bad, and fail to give credit where credit is due, along with the blame where blame is due!

Now Guy Askham is another matter. What a bizarre post. Askham didn't see us relegated and delivered us Lowe. If you are going to give Lowe credit for the stadium then surely some of that is reflected on Askham for having the foresight to see that he could deliver it.

Thedelldays Posted 16 October, 2009 Share Posted 16 October, 2009 thing for me why Lowe was so bad... he stumbled on or for what ever reason appointed Strachan (who never reallys has a bad word to say about him) and was on a real good thing.. the club was really going places...we had a manager we all loved, we had some good players...but we had a team going all out week in week out and that could not last.. for what ever reason, WGS left (another arguement) and the rest is history....

Saints have won 3 games in a week (when did that last happen!) and someone opens a thread on Lowe. He is gone (thank God) and this is a new and brighter day for Saints.

oxfordshire_saint Posted 16 October, 2009 Share Posted 16 October, 2009 (edited) Search up the fine work of signor Luciano Gaucci, formerly chairman of Perugia. He sacked Ahn Jung-Hwan because he scored for South Korea against Italy, "biting the hand than feeds him" according to Gaucci. He also gave Jay Bothroyd a dressing down for not diving, signed Colonel Gaddafi's son and also tried to sign two female swedish players (which may have had it's upside!) Perugia eventually went bust. Edited 16 October, 2009 by oxfordshire_saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 16 October, 2009 Share Posted 16 October, 2009 Based on all the evidence available in the public domain today Lowe. If I had to vote today, certainly as others say in the top 10 or higher. If we look back at a snapshot of today from 10 years in the future. May find other candidates and may tweak the search to include owners. Not defending Lowe, but history may show Gaychap, The Iceland bloke, The Liverpool duo and others being up there. Hopefully though, this will be the last time anyone ever opens a thread on here knowing the bleedin obvious answer to a debate that has been done to death. If your life is still worried about Lowe I suggest a call to the Samaritans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is no different then a guy taking out a loan to build a house, then lose that house because he could not afford to pay the loan back. We almost lost that house.

How do i looklike an idiot exactly? Maybe you should think a bit more TDD before you jump in there head first like you do. The reason we did not get a new stadium in 1981 was because we developed The Dell....Remember the east and west stand? The family enclosure? It was not until the outlawing of terracing did we look at moving. 1-2 years after the Prem League started we developed the dell into full seating creating the two end stands. 3 Years later we were all set for Stoneham. How did that turn out? Almost 5 years after that we then moved to St Mary's. So TDD after all that developing before 1996 what was the next natural step? We had the smallest stadium in the Premier League. It took Lowe 3-4 years before he even got to talking about St Mary's. Whoever was chairman at that time would of got the club a new stadium.

Saint Benali Posted 16 October, 2009 Share Posted 16 October, 2009 Lowe was our worst chairman but there are far worse overall. That Tisdale guy almost destroyed Leeds. And i agree with St Marco. The natural evolution of the league and football after the Hillsborough disaster meant the club was going to get a new stadium eventually. If you look at the period between 1996 to 2003 a lot of new stadiums were built in that period. Many by clubs similar to Saints. Teams who had smaller sized stadiums that would not fit with the modern demand to watch games. Very few stadiums like The Dell are still around in the top flight of football.
