Then they should they ask him who he was drinking with at that time and why, 2 days later, a junior club employee consequently lost his job.

Fowllyd Posted 22 October, 2008 Share Posted 22 October, 2008 Did the junior employee forget to top up the ice machine?? If so, then he should be hung, not just sacked. A fair point. Actually, I have it on very good authority that Wilde and Crouch argued over this very point - Wilde wanted to sack the junior employee, Crouch wanted to kill him. Eventually they reached a compromise - Wilde sacked him and Crouch killed him. Obviously my sources are far too imaginary to be revealed on here.

SFC Forever Posted 22 October, 2008 Share Posted 22 October, 2008 I have been accused of a lot of things on this site before taking the plunge and joining with Full membership. I cringe at some of the posts and laugh at others. The only thing I care about is my life and that means my family and Southampton FC. Last night we got a very well earned point at a ground where we were dreading a fearful beating. Let's rejoice and pray for a similar performance on Saturday. An added bonus would be for one of our forwards to remember what their main job is. Score goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm aware that phrase is normally used to refer to a person who puts important information in the public domain which would otherwise be kept hidden, often at some personal risk. What have you done? Ah yes, you've posted cryptic comments on an internet forum. You've said nothing; you've blown no whistle.

All I have done is set the hares racing but my comments are not cryptic as I have been precise. Wilde, the Chairman of SFC was drinking with someone (and it can't take much imagination to work out who that was) throughout the night in a North Eastern hotel prior to the Sunderland away game, autumn 2006. There was quite a lot of drunkeness (not a issue unless the two biggest drunks were the manager and chairman of the club) and during the evening things are said that shouldn't be. End of season tour? Not a problem - everyone needs to let hair down but this was mid Nov before an important league game and also present were minor club employees who were in a scenario they should not have been exposed to. Things were said which were thought OK. Not so. Young lad gets sacked. He has suffered but not the two men who were meant to be leading and representing our club who emerge scot free. One now manages Scotland and one is our Chairman who continues to lecture us all on fiscal prudence. Is it relevant to now? Yes because Wilde is still here. Has the guy who got sacked got a new job? I don't know - I hope so but he was sacrificed on the alter of Wilde. Are Saints in capable hands? No I don't think so. Make no mistake administration is looming - our overdraft has risen to 8m and Barclays have expressed their displeasure with Lowe. Surman and Lallana are as good as gone in Jan despite their reluctance to leave. Unless we find the right people to deliver us we are about to take a massive step into the unknown and with Wilde at the forefront there might not be a way back. Laugh, joke, flame away I appreciate no one likes nastiness when it comes to slagging Southampton FC but the future of this club relies heavily now on honesty and trust and under this current leadership we are not likely to get it.

Thanks Long Shot, presumably you have laid this all out knowing it to be true otherwise you might leave yourself open to attention from parties other than us lot on here! I'm sure that forum members/users may well take a little time to read and digest what you have to say before embarking on a witch hunt against you. It seems that times for Saints are even more perilous than I cared to imagine. I wonder what Mr Wilde thinks of this? Does he have the bottle to lead us out of the arms of oblivion? I very much doubt so when I remember his 'disappearance' when the going got tough last time with the 'gang of three'! I'd just love to know what a real fan like Leon Crouch might make of all this mullarkey! I would think he's pretty P155ed off about it all.

So it's fine for the fans to go out drinking the night before a Big Game, but not the manager or Chairman. It's also fine for the fans to drink before during and after a Big Game. It's also fine for the fans to give their opinions on who should or shouldn't have played, or how well or not they performed. All this while under the influence of alcohol :shock: As for the guy who got sacked, bad luck really..... Or are you saying it's alright for junior members of the club to be up drinking [or at least hanging around a place that sells alcohol] at 5 o clock in the morning before a big game, but it's not alright for the Chairman to do so I stand by my original statement, people don't just get sacked because they overheard a conversation or saw someone in a bar - that's why we have employment laws - so I guess he lost his job for some other substantial reason.
