Dibden Purlieu Saint

And considering the people that post on this site, I don't think it matters. For instance, did you vote Stanley? If so, that is one vote that we needn't take any notice of.

Luvvie alert...Luvvie alert. If you supported Southampton you'd want Lowe, and all his friends and family dead

Just out of interest, are Luvvies people that don't agree completely with yourselves? For instance, would I be called a Lowe Luvvie?

I agree about Wotte's persona, he seems 'professional' as it were, so hopefully he can bang a few heads, and try to improve the discipline within the squad. Commenting about fans is not sensible though, although I've got to say I'd probably feel the same way...

Just because the fans are behind a manager does not make him successful though. Or because he has an impressive persona, which is something I will not deny for him, cos he seemed like a proper good guy. However, I still can't throw off the feeling that people are severely over-estimating his talent.

That was a facetious comment, meant to show how fickle people are. How many games has Wotte been in charge? I don't know why when we're having a debate you've decided to resort to name calling though.

Yep, I see that. I just don't see any guarantee that this season would be much different with Pearson.

Could not agree more.

Scolari hardly spent any money anyway. Ane Pearson is one of those who failed at Newcastle.

Exactly, so peoples opinions of him are warped because the people we have in charge now are so poor. So instead of having a poor manager (Pearson), we have a very poor manager. I think you'd find it hard to find people who think that Portvliet et al are better than Pearson, but also I think you'll find it hard to find people who think that Pearson is an above average manager.

Portvliet was Poor, but that's by the by. I'm willing to give Wotte a chance, cos we have no other choice, and at least he has us playing 4-4-2. The debate is how good a manager Pearson is, not Pearson compared to who we've got in charge.

Agreed, but I doubt Pearson would have. So why does that make Pearson good. As far as I can see Pearson is a very average manager.

I really don't understand why people like Pearson so much. Personally, I just don't rate him, there are far better managers out there.

Again Stanley, why?

Why should they waive the payout, they didn't want to leave, they were forced out? If I was forced out of my job, I'd take severance pay because I feel I deserved it for my job being taken away from me, however much I 'loved' the company. It's more of a swipe at the people who took their jobs.

I feel this is quite important... "It would have been easy for them to sell another player because we need the money. But they assured me that the quality in the team is more important than the short-term finance at the moment."

Highest debt to turnover ratio. EG: the banks are getting itchy.

I've got to say, there may be some credence to this. The 3 poorest teams (moneywise) are:- Us Charlton Watford Or is that just a coincidence?

I've supported properly since '97, used to go to the odd games with my dad but he's a Leeds fan so it used to be corporate (or as corporate as you could get at the Dell). However, I met my girlfriend May 2004. Since then the club has just gone downhill. I blame her a little. Or is this just a classic example of unrelated correlation?

Rupert will never voluntarily take administration. Personally, I don't think we're that close to administration, and because of players leaving when their contracts are up in the summer, I don't think we'll be near it then, whatever division we're in.

Look, I know a lot of people like to use the classic 'child' analogy for people they don't agree with to patronise the other person. Personally, I don't move to jibes like that cos it winds people up even more. You know you did it for that reason, I know you did, hell, everyone knows you did. So why don't shut down the dating side, move over and let your husband use the computer for his lonely nights of onanism. Pessime et nequissime!

Right back at ya!

Oh god, the witty retorts of what in the industry we like to call 'idiots'.

We have a worse team now than we did then. It's peoples rose tinted glasses again. If Wotte ends this season with the same record as Pearson with a worse team then he's done well to be honest. The only difference will be we started in a better position with Pearson so he kept us up. With Wotte we'll go down.

Why was it acceptable for Pearson then?
