Good article and interesting to note that now Lowe has gone the official site appears to be willing to publish articles that are more critical of the way this club has been run. Best of luck to Matt Oakley.

Depends on how quickly you want to do it. I'd rather have a decent board who genuinely care for the club but have less cash than a cash rich trinket collector who just wants a toy. This club desperately needs to stabilize and rally behind one manager. If we had that then I'd be happy to be patient about a prem return (10 years+).

I'd be sympathetic and interested in how they do but no, I wouldn't be a fan. Its Saints or bust.

If Lowe life returns then it's back to my SMS boycott. I just can't see it TBH, surely no-one is bone-headed enough to buy the club and then re-employ one of the most despised figures in its history. Hypothetically though, if this was to happen I wouldn't be surprised if attendances plunged down to the 5,000 mark.

There is still a 10 point penalty in div 1 to play for and whilst there's a whiff of a chance of avoiding it the team needs to give max effort. How would you feel if next season we gained enough points for automatic promotion yet failed to make the play offs because of the -10pts? Besides which, it's about something we've been missing for too long - pride.

Hopefully this is the end of the downward spiral and we will get new competent owners that build SFC up for a push back up the league. If I never hear about R****t L**e ever again it won't be too soon.

For the realists amongst us this was always expected. At least any buyer now knows what division we will be in next season. Frankly I'm more concerned about having a club than what division we are in.

Only been to 2 aways this season but both were excellent (Reading + Watford). Reading wins because of the result but superb support at both. Any club that can bring that level of support in such a dire season doesn't deserve to go under.

Good bye to half time Lager and hello to strawberry buffalo-shakes in the concourse......

Paul Ince for me, assuming we have a club that is.

Article says that No 20, Jodie Schekter made most of his cash selling Buffalo milk??? from his 2,500 acre Hampshire farm. Did he take the odd visit to SMS when he wasn't down on the farm?

Congratulations to NP, a decent young english manager who I'm sure will go on to have a great career in the game. Even by the abysmal standards of loopy Lowe his departure has to be right up there in the all time screw up list.

Well the players know what they have to do against Burnley, its win or bust. At least it's a simple situation. I personally don't think that the Forest game will be the ultimate decider that many on here do as they will be clear by then. However that particular scenario could play into our hands as Forest may just coast against us. However if we don't win on Sat all of this is probably academic. .....and furthermore none of this means anything if we don't get a backer..........

Lowe thought he could 'skirt around it' and SFC got what was always promised. I don't for a moment believe it was malicious, incompetent and arrogant yes - but then tell me something new about the man.

I guess it's therapeutic for some, they need to get the anger out of their systems. No harm in blowing off a bit of steam on a chat forum is there?

We're all going to have to be patient on this one. It's going to be brown trousers all round as it goes down to the wire. If I was a buyer I'd want to hang back on any offer until I knew where this club will be next season. Once I knew I would then adjust my bid accordingly. Jumping in now could cost a lot of money.

2nd game I ever saw at the Dell was against Luton, we won 2-0 if I remember. Mark Wight and Dave Armstrong?? getting the goals. Used to be a decent little club. They have been treated very badly IMO.

Another question - if we cease to exist before the Forest game would 3 pts be automatically awarded to them?

I like KK but can't see it. He likes bit of cash and I doubt he's too bothered about going into league 1 TBH. How about a young ambitious manager with good experience at successfully managing in the lower leagues and with a bit of a name to bring in some decent players. How about Paul Ince? All this assumes we'll survive the next few weeks of course.

....and how much has the worm taken out over the years?

Go back to sleep NickH.

Barclays didn't get us relegated from the prem - Lowe did. Barclays didn't alienate the fan base - Lowe did. Barclays didn't appoint the Gray, Wigley and Portaloo - Lowe did. Barclays didn't tell SFC to get rid of a great manager in Pearson - Lowe did. Barclays didn't tell SFC to blow a load of cash on catering and radio stations - Lowe did. Barclays didn't tell SFC to loan out Rasiak, John and Saga and spend the much needed cash on some untried French kid - Lowe did. I could go on even further but he's now gone so what's the point. Lowe totally failed and the fact that he's lashing out at everyone else except himself leads me to believe that he is becoming mentally unstable. If we do get a decent buyer and Lowe is banished for ever then I will raise a quiet glass to Barclays for finally ridding us of this idiot. Someone finally had the guts to stand up to him and call him out for his utter lack of business acumen.

Probably watch my local club a bit more but my heart will be lost to football. I can't even begin to get my head around a world without SFC. Just got my Charlton ticket and am off to Watford - going to give the boys my full support now that we have our club back.

It's exactly as I expected it would be, Lowe is such a stubborn ass he was always going to cling on till the bitter end. Like a cancer he could not be removed without major surgery and I'm still not sure whether he will go for good even after this. Indeed it is a really sad state of affairs.

Bye bye Rupert.
