beatlesaint Posted 8 December, 2008 Share Posted 8 December, 2008 we can afford for a squad of 22 plus coaches and backroom staff to travel up to South London from Southampton Saturday night and stay in a hotel for 2 nights in preparation for tonights game !!! Now Selhurst Park is what ? 90 mins from Southampton so what the hell are we wasting money like this for ? Had they been playing away at Doncaster for instance then fair enough......but South London ffs ? Someone has to be taking the p*ss at that club......

alpine_saint Posted 8 December, 2008 Share Posted 8 December, 2008 I reckon we've been consistently lied to about the financial situation. We seem to have been reasonably active on the transfer in side for a club that doesnt know where the next penny is coming from. This is ALL to do with one person's ego.

Oh I can assure you our finances are almost beyond recall. I think Lowe may have one final throw of the dice. If he fails we are done for. If he manages to sort it we will not be financially secure but the financial future will look a little brighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it does it stop the rot for 2minutes, until the combined result and subsequent attendance impact kicks in, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjii Posted 8 December, 2008 Share Posted 8 December, 2008 I think he did. Ok - I thought he just said he'd "done some research" but I may not have been listening carefully! I would be surprised if Lowe had said that, as it would kind of fly in the face of his entire raison d'etre at the moment and would point the finger of blame squarely at himself.

Alain Perrin Posted 8 December, 2008 Share Posted 8 December, 2008 25 x £100 a night x 2 equals how much? (then compare to what Stern John's on and you'll realise it is insignificant). Better to get a full day to relax and train away from kids, xmas shopping etc. in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised if Lowe had said that, as it would kind of fly in the face of his entire raison d'etre at the moment and would point the finger of blame squarely at himself. You're right. He said his research has seen him told that by people ... no specific mention of Lowe. It makes sense that our mortgage payments are our biggest cost if the success of our wage stripping is to be believed though. I can't see that this is much of a stick to use to be beat Lowe with to be honest ... as some have tried to make it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't we used to stay somewhere when WGS was in charge, Rod Stewart's or something. I don't often defend Lowe (in fact I hardly ever do) but in this case maybe, just maybe the cost was borne by someone else, or maybe the hotel was offered free by some benefactor. If I'm wrong then "Lowe Out". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
