Pancake Posted 3 April, 2009 Share Posted 3 April, 2009 and no buyer can be found for the club. In 24 hours time, Southampton FC, the great club founded as St Marys YMA back in 1885 will cease to be. They will be removed from the Football League for good and have to start again in the lowest league available. 124 years of history of football in Hampshire will be gone for good. The club that, via an player, introduced football to Brazil. The club that shocked the world by signing Kevin Keegan when he was European Footballer Of The Year The club that sunk the mighty Manchester United 1-0 at Wembley in the FA Cup final in 1976. The club that held firm at the Dell against bigger and better clubs for years. The club that was looked after for so many years by Ted Bates. The club that gave the footballing world Matt Le Tissier, the Wallaces brothers, Ali Dia, Theo Walcott. THAT club only has 24 hoursa to live. There has been no-one wanting to buy it. Fry and Hudson are already writing the letter to the FL and the FA to tell them of the death. with hours to go, 1 consortium steps forward with a business plan to take on the club, and try to get it stable again. They are the only consortium, no-one else is going to buy us. The consortium is founded by Lowe, Wilde and Crouch. Do you accept, or watch the club die?

The club that, via an player, introduced football to Brazil. ... The consortium is founded by Lowe, Wilde and Crouch. Do you accept, or watch the club die? The history part of that was interesting, the ending a little repetitive. Anyone who isn't interested in the existence of the club no matter who is in charge just isn't interested in the club. I wanted them all gone, but not at the expense of the club altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottery st mary Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 Let them take it and walk away and support Eastleigh until Lowe left... Lowe will just start the whole downward spiral again.. I think Lowe is American like some of the posters on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colinjb Posted 1 July, 2009 Share Posted 1 July, 2009 So it's a choice of short or long term suffering? Reform the club at a lower level, then watch the pheonix rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
