SimonRichards Posted 9 November, 2008 Share Posted 9 November, 2008 Lowe is 100% to blame. It was (so I believe) his decision to bring in the Dutch duo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Posted 9 November, 2008 Share Posted 9 November, 2008 Just seen the following draft: "I made a whole series of terrible mistakes: joining forces with Wilde, letting Pearson go, acting on my obsession with Dutch coaches, and most of all, not learning my lesson from last time about how NOT to alienate my paymasters, the fans. I accept all blame. Therefore Jan is sacked with immediate effect. Love and kisses, Rupes." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjii Posted 9 November, 2008 Share Posted 9 November, 2008 What is our current alternative to Lowe? Is there one? We don't necessarily need one, we just need him to appoint a manager who knows how to make a side tough to beat in this league, and then keep his nose out of the footy.

um pahars Posted 9 November, 2008 Share Posted 9 November, 2008 none of them are going anywhere,we cannot afford a compensation package or another manager. If Jan really is on peanuts, then surely it wouldn't take much to pay him off. And then if the choice is failure Vs stretching the budget to get an experienced manager in, then I'm sure people will see that it would be a false economy not to spend some money on the single most important person at a football club. The cost of failure will be more than the cost of a decent manager that's for sure. That said, I still think Jan is worthy of our support, but that's not to say he is immune from criticism or a later review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP is a good man and i would like to see him given a decent chance with some money but i dont think it will happen.i fear he will be expected to plod along as he is now,scraping a point here and there in the hope that it will be good enough to survive. i dont want the man to go,but i think he is the right man at the wrong time.he needs to be backed financially in january and this includes not losing any of the more decent players but i really dont think it will happen.

um pahars Posted 9 November, 2008 Share Posted 9 November, 2008 But going back to the OP I just don't think that scenario will ever pan out, regardless of Lowe's past hiring and firing past. If Jan goes, then Lowe has to go, it's as simple as that. But as far as I tell, there is no way Lowe would walk away again so soon after coming back. His ego and his personality wouldn't allow it. No way in the world would he pull the plug on his experiment so soon after implementing it and admit to failing. Jan is here until it works or until it goes ti77ts up. I remember saying to Rupert that I thought he was drinking in the last chance saloon when he appointed Wigley, but he must surely be drinking in there now!!!!! The only problem of course is that it will be the last chance saloon for Southampton Football Club 1885 Ltd as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ron fan Posted 9 November, 2008 Share Posted 9 November, 2008 I'll be very surprised if he sacks Jan, even if we are relegated by the end of March. He'll blame it all on the previous regime and keep insisting that this is the only way forward. However, JP may of course fall on his sword at some point, finally admitting that he is out of his depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
