rallyboy Posted 3 April, 2009 Share Posted 3 April, 2009 so as he points out, having driven the club to the brink, if a buyer comes in now he will have achieved his aim. I think that means the deluded man still thinks he is a success..... He says he doesn't care what fans say about him, well if he would kindly roll up tomorrow, I for one would love to test that theory out. The final hollow lies from a man who brought our once great club into disrepute. Bye Rupert, hopefully hello new era and new owners.

ART Posted 3 April, 2009 Share Posted 3 April, 2009 Incredible. Wee Gordon has come out in support by saying he's flabbergasted cos he always classed Saints as the best financially run club in the country. Now WGS isn't short of a penny or two and would make a perfect inside football person to lead a consortium. Especially when the timing fits in line with him needing to get away from Celtic.

imported_slough_saint Posted 3 April, 2009 Share Posted 3 April, 2009 I get the feeling that most of the posters on here don't like Rupert Lowe! They will never forgive him for getting the club relegated from the premier league even though he went all out in the January transfer window to give HR the players he wanted - Camara, Rednapp, Quashie, Davenport, Bernard are some players who spring to mind. Even HR said he was happy with the transfers made at the time. It wasn't RL who got Saints relegated, it was HR and the players. Its true that RL may not have the most likeable of personalities - he is arrogant and pompous with an abrasive character but the fact is that if players left the club he damn well got the best price for the club. It is a matter of fact that when he was kicked out of the club we did not have an overdraft with Barclays and looked forward to future payments from the Walcott transfer. Enter the new board and money was wasted on the likes of SKacel, Licka, Idiakes, Thomas, John and Euell for an all or nothing promomotion push. And guess what, we got nothing! And what I find incredible is the fact that RL gets blamed for all this too. Crouch, Wilde, McMenemy etc seem to have escaped unscathed from any criticism at all. Yet it was this new administration that has brought us to our knees by racking up such a huge overdraft. Do you think RL would have taken such a gamble if he had been in charge over the last 3 years? Of course most of the Lowe haters will just not want to believe any of this. They just want to pin all the blame on him. Perhaps if he was called Reg, spoke with a hampshire accent and was semi-literate they would be more forgiving. This season we now know why the high wage earners were loaned out. It was a list ditch effort to stave off administration. Sadly it failed. I've no doubt i will be accused of being a Lowe lover or a Pomp** fan or any other abuse you want to throw at me by all the Lowe haters on here. That is not true. I have been a ST holder for over 20 years travelling 140 miles for each home match. But I happen to think this obsessive hatred for the man needs to be balanced by an alternative view. It is not his fault that we are here it is the previous administration - Now fire away!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

um pahars Posted 3 April, 2009 Share Posted 3 April, 2009 Well I never at last a sensible post Really?? Apart from glossing over the part things like Wigley and Lowe played in the initial relegation, forgetting SCW and the doomed repromotion season, Rasiak being the first on to the wage bill under Burley, losing ,illions the first season down, the fact that the inverted snobbery is rather ignorant when many are happy to judge people by their results, the fact that others apart from lowe should indeed be blamed, with some of them coming out and saying so in the local media, no mention of this dreadful season, no Poortviet etc etc etc. I really could go on, but there's quite a bit inthere that could be argued another way.

Art said he could come back and I laughed and thought no chance. I was wrong then and you could quie easily be wrong now. Actively selling the club and remaining cautious and relaistic about the possibility of Lowe returning can both be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Under Weststand Posted 3 April, 2009 Share Posted 3 April, 2009 (edited) I get the feeling that most of the posters on here don't like Rupert Lowe! Correct! They will never forgive him for getting the club relegated from the premier league even though he went all out in the January transfer window to give HR the players he wanted - Camara, Rednapp, Quashie, Davenport, Bernard are some players who spring to mind. Not forgetting the multiple managers he had that season. Also the fact we bought a multitude of Journeymen to Bulk the squad out to massive proportions instead of a couple of higher paid better quality players in the closed season. Even HR said he was happy with the transfers made at the time. It wasn't RL who got Saints relegated, it was HR and the players. Cleverly forgetting what got us in the position in the first place? Its true that RL may not have the most likeable of personalities - he is arrogant and pompous with an abrasive character but the fact is that if players left the club he damn well got the best price for the club. It is a matter of fact that when he was kicked out of the club we did not have an overdraft with Barclays and looked forward to future payments from the Walcott transfer. Enter the new board and money was wasted on the likes of SKacel, Licka, Idiakes, Thomas, John and Euell for an all or nothing promomotion push. The season you refer to maybe the players brought in could be questioned but Rupert at the time Claimed there was a 5-million WAR CHEST, who knows what would have happened with Lowe in charge that season, would we have reached the play-off's ? All ifs & Buts If Best had scored the first pen maybe we wouldn't be here now! Yet it was this new administration that has brought us to our knees by racking up such a huge overdraft. Do you think RL would have taken such a gamble if he had been in charge over the last 3 years? Of course most of the Lowe haters will just not want to believe any of this.

This season we now know why the high wage earners were loaned out. It was a list ditch effort to stave off administration. Sadly it failed. Not due only to the high earner's being sent away on loan BUT mainly IMHO to the stupid decision to replace Pearson with his crazy experiment which has unfortunately been a MASSIVE failure (much to my disappointment I might add) I've no doubt i will be accused of being a Lowe lover or a Pomp** fan or any other abuse you want to throw at me by all the Lowe haters on here. That is not true. I have been a ST holder for over 20 years travelling 140 miles for each home match. But I happen to think this obsessive hatred for the man needs to be balanced by an alternative view. It is not his fault that we are here it is the previous administration - Now fire away!! I'm afraid you will probably be accused of being a PR plant but you seem like Lowe to be unable to see both side's of the argument, Unlike Leon Crouch who is prepared to hold his hands up & take a proportion of the blame, & myself for getting taken in with the Wilde Bunch (Hands well & truly up here) we have Rupert on Solent blaming everyone else for there failings & taking no responsibility for anything at all. Whilst I don't think he's wholly responsible IT REALLY IS TIME HE STOOD UP & TOOK HIS SHARE of the BLAME at the very least.

corsacar saint Posted 3 April, 2009 Share Posted 3 April, 2009 Lowe is one of the few people I have ever hated in my life. He craved respect, and never gave an ounce of it back to anyone. His classic rhetoric- If you cannot say something nice about someone do not bother[ or words to that effect], summed up the total hypocrisy of the man. Luckily I missed South Today, otherwise I would have switched channels, or turned off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostBoys Posted 4 April, 2009 Share Posted 4 April, 2009 Amazing interview. Talk about washing the blood off your hands and walking away. There is no doubt that arrogance and stupidity is a very dangerous mix particularly when you have manipulated yourself into a position of control without spending any money which is the only positive thing he has done - for himself at least. First rule in business is look after your customers not antagonise them in the blind perception that they will continue to spend their money with you like sheep. The biggest joke I have read in all of this is that he will buy the club back with his own money - well no-one else will invest with him. Sorry Rupes you have had your day and along with Guy Gutless and Mike Spineless (from other posts today) will you now please quietly disappear. We are moving on.

Wes Tender Posted 4 April, 2009 Share Posted 4 April, 2009 I go away all week to see clients in Jersey and when I come back, I can scarcely believe that the most divisive person in the club's entire history has gone at last. I promised to renew my ST the minute it happened, but there are only 3 home games remaining now. But I will certainly be back with a ST next season regardless of which division we are in. I am buying tickets for myself and my son this morning for today's match and will also go to the other two matches. As many are aware, I was one of those boycotting matches the last couple of months because of Lowe. For the first time in a long time, I am optimistic that the fortunes of the club will finally improve, even if it might be too late to save us from the drop this season. I am confident that many will feel like me, that they are prepared once more to put money into the club by attending matches, buying merchandise, etc. Previously many were restrained in doing that by the thought that they were saving Lowe's bacon and putting money into his pockets. We can now hopefully get greater attendances and a spirit of unity to propel the team towards safety and the club towards financial stability, so that we are in a good position for somebody to buy us and take us forward.

Toadhall Saint Posted 4 April, 2009 Author Share Posted 4 April, 2009 Wes - good to hear your going!

This is when it really counts - stand up and be counted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRichmond Posted 4 April, 2009 Share Posted 4 April, 2009 So arrogant it was funny. He accepts no responsibility for anything and patronises the fans who protest against him basically saying they live in a dream world. What a fool. What an absolute Tosser !!!! The Club are in debt, fighting for it's very survival, with a Team and system forced upon it by Lowe The Football Brain Results have been poor to say the least, the atmosphere at St Mary's not what it should be THEN Within days of Lowe Kra**ing all over us by putting Leisure Holdinggs into Administration ........ he RESIGNS Suddenly, amidst all the Bad news .... GOOD News ...... the Cancer that is Lowe is gone Saints V Charlton ...... very close to a Full House If THAT does not tell prospective Investors something, then nothing one will COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatlesaint Posted 4 April, 2009 Share Posted 4 April, 2009 I have to say that when i watched that interview and heard him say about football fans living in a dream world I had to seriously question his mental state. I think he has a real problem. How can you accuse groups of people of living in a dream world when 4 months ago he had a brainstorm and presented all shareholders with his Neville Chamberlain moment "i have in my hands a letter" which set the tone for the fury of the whole meeting. Seriously seriously unwell if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted 4 April, 2009 Share Posted 4 April, 2009 You would hope but I won't be sure until someone buys the club. The thought that if we don't find a buyer in three weeks the club will cease to exist is just terrible. I knew things were bad but I never thought it was this awful. I'm devastated. And this just shows the problem for SFC. Lowe-hating became a disease that is still consuming people, to the extent that they cannot work out what is true and what is not. It has resulted in genuine fans not attending games, poor atmosphere at times in parts of the SMS and loss of income. The fact is, Lowe took on the running of the club last year when no one else would. Without the cost cutting by he and Wilde, the demise would obviously have been even sooner - September according the the Barclay's statement. Now that ther Lowe haters haver what they wanted, which was Lowe Out any any price, we are faced with the possibility that there is no one, literally no one at all, who may want to run this club. The liquidator is saying that the end of the club is a real possibility. Its past history now, but Lowe Haters should not be congratulating themselves, instead they should be wondering if they really understood what the outcome of their attitudes could lead to.

Well at least we're not mentally unstable and delusional about themselves like Lord Teflon Lowe eh?? What goes around comes around eventually - he did some good things for the club but believed his own hype which was his ultimate downfall.. Now, if we were talking Guy Askham, I would get extremely angry!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
