Wilde is a gutless imposter who with his actions has split the fan base, our club cannot be united and move forward together with Lowe and Wilde at the helm !!

Nice one thanks for that !!

When or do you mean fos and not fos1 ??

I have heard a strong rumour today that Wilde will not be attending the AGM !!

I dont believe that Crouch would ever support Judas Wilde ever again no matter what the circumstances !

While he is looking for his spine perhaps he will find the 2 million he promised the board !!

As Ruperts Dad once said "Rupert is never wrong" !!!

Spot on Wilde is reasponsible for ripping our club apart by bringing Lowe back, a man he would not get in the same room with a year ago !! Wilde is the biggest turn coat in Southampton FC history !!

I agree with what your saying, but pressure has to be put onto shareholders who hide behind Lowe, and have done for years! without them Lowe is nothing as he does not own enough shares himself !!

HAD ENOUGH OF LOWE AND HIS STUPID IDEAS ASKHAM COME OUT FROM BEHIND LOWES SHADOW In January it is likely that any of the promising youngsters currently playing for the Saints will be auctioned in order to stave off administration. This club is now ensnared in a treacherous shark infested seas taking in more water at every desperate twist and turn. Disillusioned, dwindling crowds, aren't helping matters but with players being forced out for financial reasons and the continuing poor home form it is of little surprise the fans of this once great club are deserting the ship in droves. And a reason for even more unhappiness on the good ship Southampton FC is the return to the helm of Captain Lowe - the South Coasts' very own Captain Bligh. Having once before being cut adrift he has managed to survive in his life-raft for 2 years before, with the help of one of the sailors who helped oust him in the first place he has once more returned to the poop deck, cutlass in one hand and telescope in other. Captain Bligh was an arrogant, despised leader who thought he could do no wrong and Rupert Lowe is a worthy successor to his legacy. Not only was he completely responsible for our relegation due to his poor choice of managers but perhaps more importantly his bigger crime was his complete mis-management of our relegation. Whereas other relegated clubs who are run by men who know their football such as West Bromwich and Birmingham bounce back before the parachute payments run out Southampton did the exact opposite. Panic selling with virtually no sensible replacements was the name of the game and then for good measure throw a Molotov ****tail into the manager's office in the shape of Sir Clive Woodward, hitherto the champion of the sport that is played with a funny shaped ball. So, instead of trusting the manager with some of the cash to build a promotion team, instead give him £80,000 for Fuller and then saddle him with a rugby loving mole. No wonder Harry Redknapp soon scuttled back to his spiritual home. So then what? Ah yes George Burley - once highly thought off but now on the slippery slope and a man who in Lowe's own words "needed managing". A man who had left his two previous clubs in strange circumstances and who it was rumoured was never likely to chair any local temperance meetings in his spare time. Burley's poor management manifested itself after Lowe was cast adrift by Mike and the crew of the Bounty (so named after some "Wilde" promises of funds), so it would be unfair to blame Lowe completely but of course upon his return what did he do? He got rid of one of the most sensible managerial appointments this club has made in over a decade and appointed a man completely alien to English football who would soon find himself out of his depth. Never mind thought Captain Lowe I can always give him a hand on the rudder with my vast knowledge of football. With Jan P looking increasingly likely to take a long walk off a short plank, some time soon, what will the good Captain do then? Blame himself? Not likely. No, more likely appoint another rabbit from a hat and the club will spiral ever quicker into oblivion. Captain Lowe owns less than 6% of Southampton FC and yet he is allowed to get away with premeditated shipwreck on a grand scale and still no one lifts a finger. Where is the man that first championed Rupert Lowe? Is he happy with what his prodigy has done? Is he still prepared to back him at the AGM on the 23rd December. Step forward Rear-Admiral Guy Askham, once Chairman of this club in happier, less complicated times. Admiral Askham has it in his power still to pull the plug on Captain's Lowe and rescue a sinking ship before it finally goes down, but will he? For the last few years he has been holding his telescope to his blind eye but even he must be aware that the lifeboats have been launched to no avail and the fate of the crew and the passengers is in the balance. After 34years of supporting this great club I have never been so depressed at seeing Lowe and wilde ripping the fans and our club apart. Askham has for once in his life to do the best thing for this football club and not for himself he has the power to remove Lowe THIS FOOTBALL CLUB WILL NEVER BE UNITED WHILE HE IS ON THE BRIDGE

Wrong Lowe is based down at Staplewood not at the stadium !!

Lowe was staying out of Simon Jordons way, anyone remember what Jordon said about Lowe in the past ? ( this should be on the other thread )

The only way forward with a united fan base is without Lowe and Wilde

Wilde in last night's Echo made the following points re the recent figures released by the club “I don’t think anyone needs to look any further then this set of results to see why the changes in the board in May were necessary " “I think now people will be able to understand why things happened like they did “ “You really don’t need to look any further than these figures to see why the change was needed" This is priceless hypocrisy - surely Wilde must appreciate the very people who instigated this mess were a manager appointed by his sidekick Lowe and the executives who were personally installed by him. Wilde's failure to deliver the promised investment was the catalyst for the whole collapse in our financial fortunes. Sure the executives let Burley have too much rope and sure they were gambling on investors who turned out to be no more than tyre kickers but they had no real choice because it was Wilde who had chosen the path which the club had taken based on a downright untruth. No wonder he couldn't wait to resign after less than a year to slink off to his tax haven in Jersey. And now he is trying to justify his return as a blessing. You couldn't make it up.

I find it incredible that Lowe is paid a large wage, which the club can ill afford at the present time, and yes your right a fantastic game just a shame Lowe had better things to do !!!

Saint Bones was unable to attend for family reasons this weekend, but did go to Donny, Preston, Swansea, Sheff Utd and going to Charlton on Sat, was gutted to miss this one !!

No it was not me

Was not with hobnob crowd as you put it, but know someone who was and Wilde and Lowe did not attend the game.

Perhaps he was too busy working as a waiter at his hotel !!

Wilde was quick enough to deny this last time, with flight times etc !

Lowe banging on about the support we had at Reading is a little ironic since I hear neither he or Wilde were actually there. Lowe was out shooting while Wilde's whereabouts on Saturday are unknown. Surely at least one of our Chairmen could have been present - this is not the first time neither have been at a Saints match this season.

His house in the forest is for sale as well !! perhaps he is trying to pull together the 2 million he kept promising the board !!!

Did'nt longshot tell us about this a few weeks ago, so he/she was right !!!!
