AndyD Posted 23 February, 2009 Share Posted 23 February, 2009 Just heard on 5 Live that Wotte is gunna be interviewed on 5 live at the half time interval of Hull V Spurs - so probably sometime between 20.45 - 21.00 Thought you might wanna know PS - I bet work felt better today after the win!!!! It did for me - especially working with several skates in Portsmuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't see it in stadium, fans are great in the stadium, but we need to perform better to get fans in stadium To be fair Nick, you have spiced that up a little, it was more like " There is a small minority of fans who protest outside the stadium, we don't see that. The fans are 'fine' inside the stadium, the true fans are the ones that are inside the stadium and are loud, which was the case on Saturday ' ..... or words much closer to that effect than yours.

RoswellSaint Posted 23 February, 2009 Share Posted 23 February, 2009 Very. Why? Apart from being ground that has been raked over 100 times or more on here. We knew in April last year that Lowe was trying to come back. It is known that Lowe approached Wotte previously (the three years ago referred to?). Is it unreasonable that he might contact him in April and say "In a few weeks, I should be in control at Southampton.

I'm going by what is posted on here as, like LV said, we can't listen outside the UK. Gemmel said that Wotte said he was approached in April to run the academy not replace Pearson. Not being pro-Lowe but it seems people are reading more into what was said to try to prove their points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
um pahars Posted 23 February, 2009 Share Posted 23 February, 2009 wure he was..unless he asked this person the day before the AGM... maybe lowe saw pearson (like some of us do) and thought...hmm, what an average manager and in his warped head, thought Jan was better...lol But Poortvliet and Wotte were already lined up way before he even met with Pearson. In fact he was quite open about his thoughts of Pearson quite a bit before the season even ended!!!!! Dead man walking and Pearson never stood a chance. And besides, even if Lowe did act and think as you suggested (which he did not), then why the bllsht about money issues etc etc etc. The whole appointment of Poortvliet was a done deal before he even had his feet under the table and once again the fans were bllshtted to.

Greenridge Posted 23 February, 2009 Share Posted 23 February, 2009 well wotte wont stand a chance IF crouch comes back we knew that with lowe back then and know this of crouch... two edges of the same sword.. I think you are probably right there TDD. It seems to be a given that Pearson was a dead man walking upon the return of Lowe and Wilde as I'm sure it was reported at the time that L&W called for a meeting with Crouch to make their displeasure at the appointment clear.

um pahars Posted 23 February, 2009 Share Posted 23 February, 2009 (edited) well wotte wont stand a chance IF crouch comes back we knew that with lowe back then and know this of crouch... two edges of the same sword.. Absolutely, and both of them were pretty poor to go public/or at least not be candid with their thoughts on the manager when both managers had a relegation battle to oversee. The only difference being that with Pearson, as it was fairly obvious Lowe would get back in in a couple of months then Lowe's lack of support for Pearson was much more damning as he would soon be in a position to back up those words with actions (which of course he did), whereas Crouch could be dismissed as hot air and having no chance of executing his plan. PS plus the very fact that Poortvliet was fcking sht and should have been ran out of town meant that at least Crouch was probably making the right call LOL.

um pahars Posted 23 February, 2009 Share Posted 23 February, 2009 you are right....but one thing lowe did (for his wrongs) was keep this news that he was lining up someone else (which was wrong before anyone calls me a farking luvvie) away from the news and away from the relegation battle...whether that was intentional I dont know... It was an open secret around St Mary's and everyone including Pearson had heard that both Lowe and Wilde were not overly enamoured by him. I think Wilde mentioned it to the SOS boys in the Spring and even as far back as that Central Hall meeting there was talk about Lowe & Wilde bringing their own men in. Whilst Pearson was fighting the relegation battle he was aware that he could well be replaced, but maintained a dignified silence (at least in public).

I really don't want another lowe thread, but you are suggesting the fact he didnt let anybody know about bringing in a new guy during a relegation battle as if he should be praised for it. Can i just remind you he called an ******* EGM right in the middle of our relegation battle. And if you really wanted i could cut and paste his own words for the of need for stability and togetherness during delicate times. Sorry mate, you cant have it always and what lowe did then was disgraceful and he quite cleary put his own best interests ahead of the club.
