Ponty Posted 17 January, 2009 Share Posted 17 January, 2009 Well, that's cleared that up Let's be honest, there are a lot of people who should be ashamed today, from the changing rooms to the boardroom, via the stands and more than a few living rooms. It seems the only people with any heart are the fans but they've no idea where to channel the passion to because the team sure don't deserve it.

Mole Posted 17 January, 2009 Share Posted 17 January, 2009 "Lowe wasnt even here today and Wilde had left 15 mins before the end of the game.

dubai_phil Posted 17 January, 2009 Share Posted 17 January, 2009 Interesting OP, if it was Andrew then things are changing very quickly. If it wasn't him then he's probably been dropped in the sh8t by the "allegations" in this thread, which is a shame, as although he is tarred with the Lowe brush, on the couple of occassions I have come into contact with him he's actually a good guy More repurcussions no doubt of a very bad day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine_saint Posted 17 January, 2009 Share Posted 17 January, 2009 Lowe and Cowan are joined at the hip, so it either wasnt him, or if it was he was criticising the fans. Which is absolutely f**king ridiculous anyway, and is another example of the delusion the Lavender Hill Mob are proceeding under. Most of those fans come to see the football ("what football ?" I hear many of you cry), not watch the to-ings and fro-ings of the Director's box, so wouldnt know Lowe wasnt there or that Wilde scarpered. But they know who is responsible alright...

dubai_phil Posted 17 January, 2009 Share Posted 17 January, 2009 Well FWIW a call from a mate who was in very close proximity to the Directors box, It appears that Wilde left 35 minutes before the end not 15 and received a lot of abuse even from those in the box. Andrew's reaction was one of horror and he was also upset that he was getting abuse from the fans. Seems like the sentiments you heard were probably from the heart JM, possibly from the series of events - somehow from this it could suggest that the relationship there appears not all well - and my mate says Andrew was really upset by everything that went on. Don't shoot the messenger, just reporting a skype call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonRichards Posted 17 January, 2009 Share Posted 17 January, 2009 After looking through Google images for a picture of Andrew Cowen, I am now 99% sure it was him. I couldn't see his sfc tie as because he was wearing scarf and a 3 quarter length coat. I have met Cowen 7 years ago when he had facial hair and I was very worse for wear!!

Sure, I'm not saying you have to have more resources to improve - but it seems to me Saints have underperformed since we've been in the CCC - and I dont know why that it is. Lowe, Wilde, Dulieu and Crouch as Chairmen and three different managers havent made much difference. I dont see anybody of outstanding quality about to rescue us - so its a question of sticking with what we have or rolling the dice and hoping, just hoping the result is different. I dont have the answer, but cant see it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 17 January, 2009 Share Posted 17 January, 2009 Its difficult to see what anybody with the the same resources would change to make a difference. Quite a lot actually As a specific example, there are a lot of ex PL players who became managers and who have a wealth of experience at all levels and who don't have a job these days. Those people would love ANY job back in football on a fixed term contract to "prove" themselves. They have experience and they are motivated and would work for around 50k for a year to get "back in the game" As fans we may not WANT them, but for a squad made up of youngsters they could well have been exactly what we needed to help guide them and possibly young coaches this season. I had a very pleasant dinner with an ex manager who went into this in some detail and followed the same when I talked to another ex manager just before Christmas. What the kids needed at the start of the season was experience. It COULD have been done on the cheap, it wasn't, sounds like we are seeing the fruits of that poor decision now.

harvey Posted 17 January, 2009 Share Posted 17 January, 2009 Apparently Lowe is on holiday according to radio solent today. Must be nice to be able to afford a holiday in January :smt087 More to the point, If I were the CEO of a Championship football club....I wouldn't even contemplate going on holiday at this time of year, particularly considering the position tha club is in atm. Anyway, I would have thought that he would be itching to show the 'Donny' chairman the pride of place given to the picture of the 'steam train'.

I havent seen much fight or passion from the players for the best part of four years, except in the odd game. Just throwing all the cards up in the air again and hoping things will be different is pointless IMO. Whatever money we woul save by not sacking JP should be spent on bringing in a proven goalscorer IMO - bringing Stern John back if his mind is right.

That was my thinking but I'm coming round to the fact that I don't think Rooney or Ronaldo would get more than 15 goals this season. The rest of it sounds so broken. If as some say Lowe is on holiday then it will take at least a week for the dust to settle and anything to happen.
