Alain Perrin Posted 21 April, 2009 Share Posted 21 April, 2009 Whatever Lowe has said has been analysed for every nuance and interpretation. Personally I think the best PR advice he got this season was to keep quiet, both because he can put his foot in in (Klingons etc.) and because there are people who will accentuate the negative, eliminate the positive etc. And if Lowe was in the Echo "rallying the troops", you'd be in the front of the queue with: - what right does he have, he's the reason we're in this situation. - what does he know, he should just shut up and stop interfering. - I hear he's picking the team with Wotte. ..or something similar. He can't win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank's cousin Posted 21 April, 2009 Share Posted 21 April, 2009 To be fair, I suspect Crouch is involved in one of the consortia maybe in some capacity, so its good PR as well - have no problem with anyone rallying the troops, we need all teh supoport afterall. Lowe's recent publicity rounds as you will agree were mostly about trying to save face and defend himself, but at teh very least he did say that teh Club was the most important thing right now and he would do anything he could to help... which is fair enough. The CLUB is the most important thing, and whilst the ultimate wish is a club free for ALL its recent boardroom burdens with fresh new blood without a 'history' - we need anything and all the help we can get right now from any source, especially if it results in our survival.

Yes, the club is the most important thing No, he isnt doing anything to help. Putting aside his awful track record of appointing managers, which has ultimately probably cost the clubs its existence, he has a woeful track record of attracting investment or a buyer, considering his supposed City contacts and "reputation"...

To be fair alpine, if we did not have the debt burden, I suspect we would ahve been sold last year when Crouch was confident taht investment would happen any day now...3 months, 6 months...9 months etc - thats no disrespect to Crouch- but you ahve to admit that both he and Wilde PROMISED investment and niether delivered - the only real potential from SISU was rejected by Crouch as well - Lowe on teh over hand never promised any such like, so if viewed in that context they are all pretty similar.... bad at finding new investors, or just a symptom of the difficulty of finding investors prepared to potentially Lose out in such a high risk business as football?

um pahars Posted 21 April, 2009 Share Posted 21 April, 2009 Lowe's media round was not for the good of the Club and I fail to see how him saying anything in the press about rallying the troops for the next two games would be of any value whatsoever (likewise Wilde). Keep quiet and stay away, would be my advice. I think in this instance Wilde and Lowe are doing the right thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandwichsaint Posted 21 April, 2009 Share Posted 21 April, 2009 Personally I never want to hear from, see, or read anything about RL/MW ever again! I have not followed or read any of RL's media debriefings; I didn't believe in him when he was here and I'm certainly not now going to throw good time after bad times trolling him around the media .... if we haven't heard anything from RL that is A GOOD THING and long may it continue. In the interests of fairness/balance I'm not overly convinced that LC is the answer either. My abiding wish is that we are taken over by someone I've never heard of, who appoints a competent team of people I've never heard of, and that they then rinse the place clean from top to bottom and make a complete fresh start on and off the pitch.

Carlos Fandango Posted 21 April, 2009 Share Posted 21 April, 2009 If the club is the most important thing why must people still obsess about Lowe/Wilde/Crouch? If it's the most important thing why did some fans boycott home games because of one or two personalities? I do find it totally hypocritical of some people who have urged fans to stay away this season to now be preaching that the club is more important than any individuals.

Foxstone Posted 21 April, 2009 Share Posted 21 April, 2009 All 3 of them are blithering idiots and by their decision making and judgement ( or rather lack of it), have contributed in varying degrees to our lamentable situation now.

OldNick Posted 21 April, 2009 Share Posted 21 April, 2009 Crouch and LM calling for support is likely to get some positive reaction RL doing the same would only prevent us selling more tickets.

A wall of silence emanates from the Cotswolds and Jersey.... FORMER Saints chairman Leon Crouch has issued a stark warning to fans about the future of the club. The Lymington-based businessman, pictured, said Saints are in real risk of folding before the end of the season. It seems that it takes a very long time for anything to trickle down to Lymington but it looks like it eventually made it. Leon Crouch We are not in a desperate situation. We can last a year or even further without investment. A lot of people have been talking Southampton Football Club down and they should not be. It is a great club and we are not in the position people are trying to portray in the media. Those criticisms are unfair. It was a difficult situation with SISU. We are not rock bottom or in a situation where we have to take a proposal from organisations who want to buy us on the cheap. Saints have knocked back reports that they have approached Arsenal to try and to reach an early cash settlement on the Theo Walcott deal in order to head off administration. The club have strongly denied suggestions in a national newspaper that they have exceeded their overdraft limit and are under pressure from the bank. Chairman Leon Crouch said: "There is a lot we would like to say in response to this story but unfortunately we have been placed in an offer period by the Stock Exchange who insist that we remain in it and whose rules therefore prevent us from talking about financial matters. We have no intention of selling our best players. There is a new board now and we will draw a line under everything that has gone before. As far as I am concerned we are going forward now with a good squad of players. We have assets and the reduced number of executives means we now have a leaner and meaner board. All clubs in the Championship need money and we are in the same situation but we have better facilities than a lot of the clubs in this league, we have a good squad of players and we have assets. We are definitely not in a position like Coventry who were rock bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imported_slough_saint Posted 21 April, 2009 Share Posted 21 April, 2009 Given it was under the Crouch/Wilde regime that cash in the bank plus future transfer instalments (Walcot / Bale) were replaced by a £6m overdraft that eventually lead to the position we are in now, i think Crouch's rallying calls are a bit rich.

I am sure the lad himself has aspirations of playing at Arsenal. But was it ever a real prospect ? Wenger is quite happy to splash the cash and bring in youngsters and bring them through himself if they have REAL prospect. the whole set up with him at Saints doesnt make sense.

The Saints Boardroom has been riven with division and dis-unity for far too long, and Leon has had his hands full square in the mix. Briefing for, briefing against, undermining you name it - And when he did get his 6 months in the hotseat he did nothing at all to persuade me that he was an able chairman of this club - He even replicated Ruperts biggest ever balls up by appointing caretaker managers and then quickly annointing them full time in the job when it was plain to most that D&G were not up to the task. Lawrie had to get him out of the mess by facilitating Pearson's appointment. We need to move full square away from anybody who has presided at this club over the past 7 years since our fall from grace - Lowe, Leon, Wilde the whole lot... We must have a fresh start !

benjii Posted 21 April, 2009 Share Posted 21 April, 2009 This is the same Morgan Schneiderlin that people were worried we were going to sell to Arsenal in the transfer window for a vast profit? Weren't the rumours going around when he was acquired that Arsenal have actually bought him we are just borrowing him for a while?? The only people who thought that are a bit special. HTH.
