Surely we must at least try NOW and not roll over and wait for the close season..At least attempt please...We seem to be too easily giving up.

:(

 

Try and change what exactly? A power struggle and another change of manager with no money to spend and the Jan window closed is not going to improve things. Just the reverse IMO.

I dont know her but I hope she has something positive to say about the future

 

- that Lowe has gone

- that Wilde has gone

- that the rest of the board has gone

- that a new Board has been installed

- that a proper manager has been installed

- that 5 experienced players have been signed on loan (can we sign emergency loans?)

- that the next home fixture is a special one with all tickets £5 to season ticket holders and members

- that the corners are open again

- that the overdraft has been paid off

- that season ticket prices for next season are £200 per adult irrespective of which league for all ST and members who buy by 30th April.

 

Come on Mary and others time to make your move.

We need you!

At least a football manager/coach and not a poser who has been organising this shambles with Rupert, Kim and JP from pre season....Get a football man who knows what he is doing..Wotte does not have a clue.

Ive nothing against her, but along with Crouch, now is not the time to be mouthing off. Save it and whatever changes are needed for the close season.

 

what I was thinking, really don't want to hear anything Lowe, Wilde, Cowen, Crouch, Corbett etc have to say unless its a solution now -we know they all hate each other so sort it out -no more public tit for tat *****ing please

Like lowe and wilde did.....oh :rolleyes:

 

 

For what it's worth. i can't stand all the bickering either, but those two put our club at greater risk, when they could have waited, as it was we survived. I can't see any harm in Mary rallying the troops ready for inevitable

who is going to do that then...?

 

It only needs Wilde to withdraw his support for Lowe as CEO and his position then becomes untenable IMHO (the starting point for voting would be 37% v 26% against Lowe). Any other major shareholder in addition to that (Richards, Askham, Withers etc) would be a bonus and woudl definitely seal his fate.

 

We should be looking to appoint a CEO and Chairman who can bring some uinity and more importantly, some decent decision making to this Club ASAP.

 

And with that, I wouldn't rule out a new manager as well to see us through the last 1/3rd of the season.

I agree that this is sort of the way forward, much better than "anyone but....." like before

It's too late now the damage has been done. We're heading towards Div 1 regardless of who's running the show.

Its not. It really is not. If Crouch took over with an English manager we might stay up. MIGHT. But if Crouch failed I wouldnt blame him for it and at least we'd have a decent manager who knew more about League 1 than the current muppet.

An English manager would help but let's be honest the squad is just not good enough by a long way. We would need to invest in 3-4 decent loan signings and that's going cost lots of money which Crouch doesn't have.

I hope she asks for a step up in protests and boycotting, in order to send that message. Ther's nothing much else she can be positive about. The rest will be just bleating [sorry Mary, but we've heard enough of the damage this Board are doing]. We're all onside now Mary. Just ask the fans what you want them to do, otherwise they'll take it into their own hands.

I felt sorry for JP, well intended man dealt a poor hand. Probably the right decision to reshuffle the pack tho.

 

Do you truly believe that? If so, you're more stupid than I gave you credit for. No offence!

 

Whilst I believe Jan may be a good coach for the youth team, he was out of his depth in the CCC and we didn't have time (as we all implored pre-season) for this ludicrously risky experiment by a Chairman who knows next to nothing about football. Look at the facts!

 

Now, the pack has been reshuffled BUT one half of the failed coaching set-up remains. My point - if we are to believe the club's own PR, Wotte and Poorvliet were this revolutionary Dutch Duo, total football, beautiful passing/football coaches who were to change Saints fortunes. It failed. Poorlviet was pushed to appease someone but half of this failed strategy remains. We sit 2nd from bottom of the CCC with little hope left. Lowe looks to have worked his wonders again...relegation beckons.

 

How are you going to defend that? Errr, no money?! We had to push out all our goal scorers on loan? Safri had to go? We needed batches of hopeless, useless and injured loads instead of utilizing the loan system for the much needed experienced heads of senior pros? Pearson had to go as he was on too much money? We needed extra coaches brought in and our 'football chairman' to do our scouting? Mystery advisors are allegedly managing football matters? Errrr, Jan was undermined?! (I actually do believe that and feel he was a fall guy!)

 

How can you suggest that it was the right decision to reshuffle the pack?! What drastic change will it achieve?! Actions SHOULD have been instigated months ago. Now, it seems we're pretty much f*cked! (but I'm sure many of those Lowe supporters only found on this forum will still be happy and clappy and say we were probably unlucky and it's the fault of the fans!)

 

Rant No. 671 - OVER and OUT!

One Mary Corbett, there's only one Mary Corbett.

 

You are our Delia, you are our Karen Brady.

 

Your time has come to take your seat at the head of the table.

 

We need your woman's touch to help these nippers out.

 

Can't wait for the day when I hear that you've been in the dressing room at half time!

Sorry Pal. This is the time to be mouthing off. There has not been enough " mouthing off" IMO. Can you imagine the fans of many other clubs putting up with the mismanagement and unadulterated crap that we have had to endure in recent years. The average Saints fan is a decent,honest, loyal supporter of his or her "family" football club. I go back a long way (over 55 years).This present situation was not caused by the fans but by the individuals that we inherited when this club became a PLC and there is one individual who is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to culpability. I'll leave you to guess who!

Fair enough if its rallying the troops - that is the only thing these folk should be thinking about, nothing else and certainly not continuing their tit-for-tat sh!te in public - its just selfish - and that goes equally for Lowe and his crowd by the way, i dont to hear this crap right now, we are in a relegation battle.

 

This public bickering from Corbett, Crouch and LM is also ultimately about ego, otherwise they would keep their own council now and urge fans to get behind the lads.

 

There is simply NO benefit in this unless they have a concrete guarranteed solution lined up that will save us...

Agree but would add "keep" to getting behind the lads.

 

I appreciate Marys family ties to the club and all that has been done by her family historically, however, by her own admission she and others associated to her made a major error when they sided with Wilde initially, imo she demonstrated her naivety and so beleive her time would be better spent sourcing investors who are able to put something on the table for SFC that Lowe et al could not turn down as it would be clear it is the best thing "in the intrest of the club".

 

If she is using this format to make that request I apologise, I just do not believe it to be the case and it will simply be a

b!tch fest by all involved.

Mary will be a guest on 'The Brothers Show' - Stewart & Mark Dennis thursday (5th Feb).

 

she might be nice lady and have the saints at heart but whatever she says wont make a difference,she along with afew others should have opened their mouths a long time ago instead of remaining silent.

 

too little too late.

Agree and with 70's Mike above as well. Where was the opposition to the so-called "reverse-takeover" in 1996, it was obvious that it wasn't for the club's benefit?

Very interesting Mary isnt holding back at all. NP only had one meeting with RL and finances (ie his salary) was not discussed, he was on £100k less a year than Burley was. Slating Wilde and his Band of 3 i.e. Dulieu, Hoos and Hone and not forgetting Andy Oldknow.

TDD you really are one of the most negative posters on this forum.

 

Whenever people get up off their backsides to try to do something positive, you slag them off.

 

Why?

 

what positive will this do....I have not slagged her off, just stating my opinion that she should have been far more vocal a while ago...

 

for a club in such a state..we dont hear hardly anything from those who have influence (crouch, corbett) on what they would do differently..all we hear is what we already know..?
