The current set up is taking us down, that is obvious. Does anyone seriously think this bunch of kids guided by a manager with no experience of Championship football will be able to improve at the business end of the season? Not a chance. Surely all Southampton fans should know the one thing that is vital in a relegation scrap is experience. We saw that last year, and numerous seasons before in the Prem. An inexperienced young team with an inexperienced manager trying to play open attractive football in a dog eat dog Championship relegation fight - that is THE recepie for disaster. Bring in a Dowie/Davies/Boothroid now - that is our only (slim) hope.

The scary thing is that starting next season bottom of league 1 on -10 points is probably now more likley than not. A really scary thought is that if we can't drag our asses out of that situation and agree a CVA thing, the next season could be -17 at the bottom of league 2.

Saints 0 - 3 Reading

But does Leon Crouch want the hassle in taking control of the club sliding towards League 1 again?

My rather optimistic theory is that this Fulthorpe thing was all set to happen but Lowe and Wilde wouldn't accept the offer for their shares, thinking it was worthwhile giving it a shot themselves to try and rescue their investment. Now as it is obvious this in not achieveble, I am hoping they will accept the lower price to try and salvage something from their investment and Fulthorpes lot can save the day. There is now obviously no way forward without investment, it's accept a nominal amount or get nowt at admin. I just hope this is the scenario or we are ****ed.

I see Lallana picked up an "injury" in Xmas day training.

Remove **** head coach, get in good manager to make **** players not quite as ****.

He's talked ****** from day 1.

Whatever he's on it's been valuable money ****ed up against the wall by whoever is signing our players. Add his to Peckhart, Gasmi, Smith, Robertson, Forecast, Pulis and you have a whole bunch of wages being wasted because of poor management descisions.

As everyone who knew anything about Championship fooyball said at the start of the season - trying to play fancy open football with inexperienced kids in this league is a recipie for disaster. It is probably too late but we need a tough manager who knows this league to come in and try and put together a side who can grind out the results. The youngsters are floundering, they need help, and it's not gonna come from a foreigner who doesn't know the league and insists on trying to play like Arsenal.

Lowe won't have to do anything, the arrogant **** will just do what he wants anyway.

Depends if he is also resposible for transfers?

The only answer I can see is for lowe and this Dutch experiment to **** off and a proper manager come in to give us half a chance of staying up. It's more than likley too late, the damage is done and we are going down, but there is no excuse for just giving up and letting this **** ruin our club.

I'm begining to think Lowe is doing all this just to spite us.

Alot of clubs are bought after admin though are they not?

If Pearson was on what you say it's about right, he left Newcastle to take on a job where he knew the chairman would be around for only a few months, for that sort of job security you would want a decent salary. If it came to a long term contract the salary would be way different. The idea that we couldn't afford or keep pearson is laughable, there are hundreds of wannabe managers out there. Good managers like Curbishly, Davies and Souness have been on the rock n roll for ages, there are plenty of people who would want the Saints job to prove themselves - Pearson was ideal IMO.

Boycotts are the only way, CBFry's idea has to be the best way to make an impact. When the banks realise that Lowe personally is costing them money he won't last long.

Surely it's about time David Jones took some responsiblity, if it's not the finance director's job to look after the finances then I don't know who's it is. He appears to be just interested in sving his own bacon, sucking the ass of whoever has the power - didn'yt he even side with the useless execs while they bankrupted the club?

Looks like his coin throwing has worked! good on him.
