1965onwards

How many times have we been told by mods that they are sorting this problem.

You are late on parade Carlos,Roops won't be happy.

Is that a nip and tuck shop.

Is that a private or limited company.

Wish i was in my 40s again. I will fight stupidity and censorship wherever i find it. This forum has taken a huge leap downwards this morning due to a pathetic moderator. You will see this in the future. They do not even have the guts to reply let alone admit their mistake.

What food do they dish up at staplewood. Not pies i hope.

So apprentices still do it? Do we even have apprentices these days. Does a company do it for them.

Now they know that by flooding threads with abusive posts they will be able to stifle debate on this forum you might as well shut this forum down.

Wotte is ****ish because of his comments about fans. I actually think it is a very good quality in a football a manager when dealing with little boy mentality footballers.

So what is pointless about discussing what might have been this season without Lowes stupidity. What i have said has already been said in part on the Ipswich game reaction thread,are you going to lock that thread as well ? If you start censorship you will destroy your own forum.

Answer my points.

Just a plan(k)t.

Well done Lowe. With a manager with a personality(if a bit ****ish),motivational skills,pragmatism,a proper CB pairing for the first time in 6 years,and enough talent in the club,we can see that we COULD have challenged for the play-offs this season despite our financial problems. Instead our great Lord and Master takes us off on another of his great ego trips. Destroys the finances of the club with his 3 managers a season prem. relegation. Then takes us to the brink of adminstration instead of towards the possibilty of the riches of the promosed land,just so that he can show what a visionary he is. What an amazing business man Lowe is

Makes you laugh how Lowes plants claim to be just fans with a balanced view. As if they fool anybody. Their verbose style alone gives them away. Their trained PR prose gives them away. Just makes Lowe look an even bigger ****,but they are too stupid to see that.

Got to love this league at this time of the season. Most of the bottom teams start to win. Those at the top do their best to **** up.

They won't get much money in the summer if b). In League 1 with -10 pts and ALL decent players gone. £1.5 million won't go far.

Interesting article on page 13 Echo about "pre-pack" administration.

I see,no company ever traded insolvent before. We are only solvent if bank says so. While there could be several reasons for delay,ST money is required to pay stadium mortgage in May,could be the tipping point..

Are they Russian or Arab Hufton?

To take in a load of advance payments if you are insolvent would be FRAUD.

IMHO,the major problem with this seasons experiment was not so much the conception and implimentation,but the lack of early objective assessment. "Total football" requires intelligence,athleticism,skill,pace and correct attitude.Not even Arsenal can manage all these attributes in sufficient measure in enough players to compete fully. 18 year old players are what they are,they can improve with age and experience,but the overwhelming majority will only improve a modest amount,the more modest the player the less they will improve. JP and Wotte should have been able to see,and maybe they did,that they did not have the raw material for "Total Football".They have been around professional football all their lives,they would have known what the young players were capable of,and the extent to which young players can improve. Yet they carried on regardless,and the first few games will have left them in no doubt that they were trying to **** in the wind.And no doubt they were also shocked by the competitive nature of the CCC. Pre-season games,training and half a dozen games,should have been plenty to make a realistic assessmant of the young players.If the experiment had been brought to a halt at that time,fans would have cut Lowe a lot more slack. The fact that the experiment lasted into January shows that there were 3 massive egos at play willing to test the ideas to destruction. Complete pig-headed madness.

Seems too many on here have been taught by Alistair Campbell. Professional "spinners" perhaps?

AP,their are 1000s of competent CEOs available to take on Lowes role,some are Saints fans willing and able to do the same hours for nothing. They would also have the benefit of not being prone to Lowes loopy fottball ideas. People need to realise that Lowe and his cronies are the major stumbling-block to investment.

Lowes youth policy was wrong from day one. ONLY Man Utd and Arsenals youth teams have shown themselves capable of beating CCC teams regularly. No-one in their right minds would think that our young players match up to theirs.

I and many others will never let up on Lowe. That is because he is a hateful man who is contemptuous of the fans who REALLY own the cub. Lowe has no interest in the club other than a vehicle for making money.All REAL football fans hate the money men,even in very successful clubs. Lowe has also shown himself to be a complete idiot on football matters,and any reputation for possessing business acumen has been shot to pieces with his false economies re strikers. Nobody who wants the best for the club should want Lowe here under any circumstances;he has shown himself to be a financial liability by driving fans away (those who refuse to put money in his pockets and refuse to pay to watch a youth team),he brings out the worst in everybody,and has shown complete imcompetence in football matters. We are a club needing investment,and Lowe has shown himself incapable of attracting it. Nobody of any character or intelligence will work with him. Lowe will never get us back to the premiership.
