Worse still, the Football Board contiue to run Saints so we haven't got rid of Lowe after all?

I'm warming the engine up right now ready for the off. At Last! I can use my ST for 3 games THIS season. Roll on Saturday. Hope the pigeons haven't Sh*t all over my seat. Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice!

The one good thing to come out of all this is that ST holders wee not lured into buying tickets for next season before the announcement. Had they paid up they would have lost all.

Well if that is true it just goes to show what a Mickey Mouse outfit the Football league must be. It's the biggest load of B*ll*cks and hubris I have every heard. I would think that could be challenged easily in the courts by clubs such as Leeds & Luton and what a can of worms that could turn out to be, wit a 'final' decision stretched out over several years and us not knowing whether we are up or down or... Did you notice the common link between ourselves and Derby County going into Administration? George Burley!

As observed last week on another thread, had it not occurred to you that maybe with interest rates close to Zero, SFC may only be paying back the capital part of the mortgage on SMS. As the mortgage is still in the early days of it's lifetime, probably 25 years, most of the monthly payments would be interest at this stage, so our monthly outgoings on the stadium may have dropped to only 10 or 20% of what it was when we started the season. Consequently we may not be operating at a monthly loss at the moment.

Guaranteed my friend, who wants to watch Third Divison football when they've seen it all before.. expensive late night trips to Chesterfield? I don't think so.

This is a disaster. Without him we are doomed. It is almost as if fate is conspiring against us to ensure we go down.

If a bit of creative accounting is goin gon then we need tio thank the author, if somebody has injected some cash without the ballyhoo! then whoever 'they' are need our thanks. Something is going on that's for sure. Of course the interest on our stadium payments will/should be 0% under present circumstances so meeting the capital payments only could be a temporary doddle. So long as the club is saving the payment reductions for when interest rates start rising again, then I agree it could be very fortuitous indeed that the credit crunch struck when it did.

If he was any good, he wouldn't be out on loan so forget it, he's crap.

Just shows how thin on the ground we are. Would we be able to compete even in the Third Division if half the first team squad sod off in July?

NO! Your understanding is wrong. If we go into Administartion, the board are granted an inter-regnum period of 3 months to solicit offers from potential buyers. If a buyer came forward, then depending upon the settlement price, Lowe & Co would get some money back based on their shareholding and the effective share price attributable to the takeover price. If NO buyer came forward within the Administration period, then the club would enter Receivership in which the board would be dismissed and the club would be in the hands of the Official Receiver who would run the club on a day-to-daybasis whilst it was being wund-up. Acting on behalf of all creditors the Official receiver would dispose of the assets to retrieve as much money as possible for creditors. Inevitably in a fire sale the amount of cash generated by disposing of assets would fall short of the outstanding liabilities so creditors would not get all their money back and of course shareholders are left with worthless shares, in this case Lowe & Co are quids OUT!

Odds on staying up are about 8.5 %, simply because only four teams are left in the fight for two safe places. Odds on the two who will survive staying up are 100%, odds on the two going down staying up are 0

We are what we are, a poor side with no stomach for the fight. We are dying with a whimper. How sad to see us slipping away almost unnoticed... R.I.P. At least SMS can be rented out to Pompey now that they've run out of dosh. Totton's new ground should be adequate for our needs for a year or two.

My friend, you are living in cloud cuckoo land. We are already down if you do the math. Even Barnsley won last night so who are we supposed to catch? http://www.football-league.co.uk/page/DivisionalLeagueTable/0,,10794~20087,00.html We need two from three to do worse than us and we haven't even won the game in hand yet! Let's be sensible, goal difference won't be playing any part in this year's run-in so it's down to wins and that's down to scoring goals and we can't do either very well this year. The fiasco's against Derby & QPR sealed our fate

The filter didn't work guys???

Politics aye? An elected parliament will speak for ALL the people so we can ignore all those other opinionated bastards can we not, oh, except destabilising extremists whose views are inflammatory and undemocratic and therefoe not valid Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil.

Another Day, more points away. So why am I so disappointed when it was odds on they would not rise to the occasion? 2 from 6 at home, even worse than our worst nightmare. Now need 1.63 points from every game left. The quicker this whole bloody fiasco is over the better. Surely it can be only a matter of days, when all hope of survival is lost (in my view it is already) that Rupert will announce Administration. Bet the delay in making an announcement was purely to see if we could stay up. Sadly we can't. Now the numbers using the forum has dried up, down to 40 right now, what does that tell you. It must be a record low?

Perhaps the loser will get him? Only, kidding Drew we all love you really and no doubt you'll be the star tomorrow. In fairness to our players, if they are not good enough collectively to stay in the CCC why should they expect to jump ship when we go down. All those deserters who fled at the first sound of gunfire, i.e., when we dropped out of the Prem are now very busy trying to drag Stoke City back down. I don't get Pullis, on air he seems to have half a brain but why did he sign a load of washed-up old farts from a failed Southampton team that couldn't stay up, if his ambition is to keep Stoke City up?

I hope you know what your talking about 'cos sure as hell I don't! Get YOU started... ? Who ARE you? Rudi Skacel has been superb since his return and the way he was rallying the lads on Saturday showed that he really cares about us staying up. If only we had a few more like him. The guy is class.

Undeniably, Morgan is a superb talent but he is in the wrong place. He was very badly advised o come to Southampton FC at this stage of our decline and his career. He needs to be at a top Premiership club, he's good enough that's for sure. Right now his mind may not be in a good place as far as Saints are concerned. Only Simon Gillett & Lloyd James look good enough to be on the same stage as him which is the satge of the international theatre. It looks certain he'll go in the close season whatever our plight. Like Jack Cork, he'll realise that for sure life here might be all huddly-cuddly family style chuminess but that ain't gonna pay the rent and fill the cupboard with medals by the time his career is over in 11 years time.

Very uncharitable of you. Why beggar thy neighbour just because we are incompetent? What is the relevance of Pompey's plight to our position right now. Portsmouth could be a thousand miles away as far as the interest of most fans is concerned. Most people I know at SMS haven't the faintest idea what is going on down there or even who plays for them. This whole rivalry thing is artificially contrived to divert attention away from the realities of life at Saints in the Lowe era. When they were a league or two below us nobody gave a toss.

Last night was a reality check. Derby are a mid-table side of the CCC yet substantially outplayed us all evening, we were always forced back into defending. We could not match them and it is evident that the CCC is a much stronger league now than four years ago. Whilst others have progressed we have not. It is no longer an excuse that we 'play football' and the others don't. There was very little to choose between Derby's game and style and that of Liverpool last night, it is just skill levels that decide outcomes. WE ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH to stay up and if we ever doubted it, last night was proof positive. We are going down with a whimper, which is what is so sad. Surman couldn't deliver when all of us depended upon him coming good and McGold***** is just plain awful and LAZY. Thank goodness for our back four at least they are keeping our goal difference under control but they must be absolutely fed up with our front midfield men and strikers. How could Sagnowski run himself into the ground and never ever get near the ball, is he short-sighted or what? Can we stay up. How can we! Saints need 14 points for safety from 9 remaining, a haul of 1.56 pts/game against our season long average (now) of 1.03. This is the world of sci-fi and play-offs - Cardiff have that average. We are once again left in peril at the mercy of fate and the inconsistencies of the teams around us BUT they are above us so on a seasonal basis must be better than us. So why would they go down and we would not???? It ain't logical and it ain't going to happen and if the coffin lid is not yet airtight, the way this is gong it'll be nailed down and embalmed by Saturday night. All one can hope is that Batman & Robin are inside when it happens.

We will be relegated to answer your question directly. Tonight is "The Last Chance Saloon" Repeating myself again today, this is a "must win" game but on every occasion when Saints have a "must win" game they ALWAYS conspire to **** it up and lose. I am dreading it. two years ago i went up to Pride park for the play-offs with very great optimism and we won on the night. I cannot even remember feeling that way at any match since. I fear will lose 0-3.

What is the incentive for anybody to buy a season ticket when the club flogs off half the stadium seats at £5 a time near match-days? Might as well play it by ear and pay on the day. You should gamble on getting a whole season in a decent seat for £115 instead of the usual £350 or more. If you put money up front and we go into administration and/or receivership, your ST money will vanish into that great black hole of creditors assets, meaning as a very minor creditor you'll end up with absolutely effing Zilch! If SFC subsequently get resurrected and you want to watch them again then you'll have to pay again.. So the moral of this little story, things being as they are in these currently straightened economic times and Saint's paddleless exploration of the upper reaches of Sh*te Creek is... Only a twit would buy a season ticket for next season!

A big "ASK", what the Eff is that supposed to mean. Just 'cos your average footballer is a moron and can't speak English that doesn't mean the rest of us have to imitate them does it?
