The problem was rumbling all during the close season (it first came to light not long after he took over when many of the 'superstars' took umbrage with him).
I can remember the rumours, stories and muck spreading all through the summer.
Personally, I think the Chairman and board should have shipped out all the negative influences and supported the manager (as had happened with Lawrie and Nicholl).
Alternatively, they should have cut it short earlier before Luggy had spent the transfer budet and wasted the vital pre season build up.
What followed (i.e. Wigley) was the real disaster.
You've just changed it you crafty ****er!!!!!!!!!!!
I can now get the full edit box and text (was just geting a grey box with no text).
Any chance of now popping round to set my food blender up (the instructions are in Mandarin)????
Good work all round fellas.
From personal experience, ignore the whingers and moaners.
£5 for a site that provides so much information, so many giggles and laughs (as well as making a few friends) is feck all in the scheme of things.
Looking forward to seeing all the extra bits as well.
PS how the **** do you edit your own posts (I clicked on edit and there was just a blak screen)?????
Is the "class act" tag bigging up his confidence, or will it be a millstone around his neck?????
No idea, he may be someone who needs to be told how good he is and therefore it could be a good call.
However, I do think the OS, whilst understandably being positive, has been a tad OTT and if anything is adding to the expectation and therefore pressure. Let's just make sure we don't turn on these youngsters if it starts off poorly.
On a personal level, I have never really rated him, but have to say he played very well on Friday. I was also unsure about Gillett and James, but I thought they both played really well too.
On a similar vein I have to say that I was not enamoured by Holmes, Scheiderlin, Lallana and Thomson. The biggest surprise was Scheiderlin because others rated him in the match.
Of course it's not a conscious decision, you would have thought you should always be looking for a degree of stability, but that just makes the fact that it did happen under Lowe's stewardship even more damning.
It just highlights that in 2004, he (and his associates) got the managerial/Head Coach appointments very wrong.
We had two managers last season, and changed when the first one walked out on us.
If you come back with , it was four, what about Dodd and Gorman, nah, nah, nah?, then it shows what a fool you are.
They were caretakers, in much the same way that Chatterley, Wigley et al were in the past. Normally, when someone walks out on you you have to fill the gap pretty quickly (if you're sacking someone, then it is much easier to plan ahead).
Going by your dumb logic in 2005 we had FIVE:rolleyes::
WGS
Wigley
Sturrock
Wigley
Redknapp
And then in 2006 we had FOUR:rolleyes:
Redknapp
Bassett
Wise
Burley
In fact, if you were looking at this you would claim we had NINE in two years;)
One can only assume that you have never been to a Radio Solent fans forum, nor a Supporters Group Meeting at the Club, because in recent years they have been nothing like you claim them to be.
In fact, it would appear to be that your ignorance and obsessiveness is being clearly demonstrated here!!!!!!!!!
