Channon's Sideburns

Which in many ways would be an improvement on the ineffective, 'fit' squad that can't hit the ar$e of Vanessa Feltz from five feet... At least it would have some purpose to it.

Do you reckon we could use Andre Previn as Leon for the caption comp? ...Leon can conduct an orchestra, but Rupey and Mikey haven't a clue what to do....

I did see that some people had started a 'Matt Le Tissier for Southampton Manager' group on Facebook...... Would it work?? Probably not, such a decision would be too fan-friendly in Rupey's eyes - let's face it, if Matty did come in and we still got relegated, Lowe would love that...could pass the blame on again....

Striker on loan?? That will be one of the 'wildcats' from down Marchwood Power Station then.... Electrifying pace apparently, but his control is shocking...

Sometimes on here the shortest posts make the most sense. More smoke and mirrors in the Boardroom..? Probably.

Probably....(he says whilst diving for cover)... When you consider the 'supposed investors' that Wilde had lined up, who wouldn't invest unless Lowe was gone, you have to question them as well. Or perhaps they saw that Lowe was intent on coming back, they didn't trust Wilde and decided not to proceed having completed 'due diligence' on Wilde?? Let's face it, no-one is out there now interested unless we hit Admin. Then all hell will break loose. Paradoxically, this could then mean that we are stuck with Lowe and Wilde for more reasons - if they keep us out of admin, then they can keep the train set. If it goes to Admin, they could lose even more. It's getting like fvcking X-Files now...

And the Saints fans are singing loudly...'We love you Rupert, we do...'

I think the problem is CB, that we have always been run to 'survive', firstly in the Prem then CCC... not to progress as a club...yes the Cup Final was a highlight but I'm sure many will agree that Lowe thought that by reaching the final that we had 'made it' - therefore not thinking that investment in better players was necessary... I take your point re the 'perennial relegation battlers', but was a lot of that down to the amount of managers and changing playing personnel??? Same old problems repeating themselves...lose manager and coaches (for whatever Non Disclosure based reason), bring in another and more coaches....clear half the playing staff and start again. That was how the club was being run - no stability on which to build. Now we have fvck all worth to sell and Rupert's latest plan has gone up like a big fart.. My point regarding us and Pompey was in relation to the quality of players they have brought in - yes, they may well now be doing a Leeds - but they are probably just as close to us towards Admin...crashed and burned quickly but ours has been a slow,PAINFUL death. What saddens me most is when you look at how the quality of our players has dropped in such a short time...not wanting to judge our Zoltan before he plays, but someone who isn't considered good enough for Southend or STEVENAGE???? We might as well scour the non-leagues like Bournemouth now, it's where we are heading under Lowe.

Rupey - 'Remember this Michael, you'll always be my favourite b1tch'

If I was in Lowe's shoes I would consider... a) that my plan isn't working; b) even my wife doesn't agree with me doing it; c) the investments of my little cabal have actually lost further value since I returned; d) realise that success isn't relegation and taking the club to its lowest ebb for 40 odd years; e) the fact that I had WH Ireland to worry about... You want any more examples?????

Mikey says....'Rupert...you spend so much time with Charlie Sale - can you not just put his column down for a minute and show me your Bird Scarer??'

'Surely the Premier League scouts from Chelsea and Manchester City will be raving about Southampton's goal machine and chip-flinger David McGoldrick'... or.... 'Southampton have come on leaps and bounds since Rupert Lowe invested £1 of his personal fortune'

TBH I'm extremely confident of doing a considerably better job than the CEO and Chairman combined...

Exactly - me too. I wish others on here would see that - unfortunately they like to beat us all with the 'Lowe Class Issue'...which is ******..

At last... Caption for Mikey and Rupey please........ Here's mine... 'That fvcking Channon's Sideburns is no good at IT you know Michael'

Aw, forget it for now guys...will try harder next time.

******....how come you follow the FAQ on here and it ends up like a Saints AGM????

I believe he's doing the company accounts therefore incommunicado....

Amen...sitting on the fence is fine unless the panels are rotten..I can't believe that some on here are still making excuses for Lowe..'balanced opinion' is the buzzword for it but how many mistakes is he allowed to make before he is accountable??? By all means back him, but it cannot be said that he courted investment when the evidence (ie the fact he never went to the press and crowed about it when his best mate chucked him out in 2006) speaks volumes... TBH Rupert likes to blow his own at the earliest opportunity then disappears a la Wilde when it all goes tits up...which is often.

Depends if you consider the two clubs and what they have done themselves... Saints - underinvestment in quality players.. Pompey - spending beyond their means.. There's no guarantee of not imploding either way...but at least Pompey have 'had their day in the sun'..what the fvck have we had since 97 then??? Malbranque and Saha..two players who should have been signed...oh I know, let's have Neil McCann...

How about Cradle of Filth?? Not my cup of tea, but would be very apt considering the members of our boardroom and those who support them. b@stards..

Why can we all not just agree on this... Lowe had an ideal opportunity to build the club up following our appearance at the Cup final in 2003 by trying to attract investors or buyers...but wanted to keep hold of the train set. --- There it is ladies and gentlemen, the start of our gradual decline into Leeds...without the fvcking success in the first place. Cheers Rupes and Mikey...before anyone starts you must need a labotomy if you think you can blame Leon for this crap we have now.

Wow, Nineteen you are correct in the conclusion that there was not a 'Lowe Out' campaign last August...do you know why??? Because the majority of fans, myself included, although firmly against his return along with Wilde, at least appreciated that we had to try 'something' different. With that in mind, they at least BEGAN with a clean slate. However, the 'Total Football Revolution' was proved to be a crock of sh1te from the beginning, and after a promising start, we were treading water from early October. Now, decent management would have recognised the trends of play, looked past the 'we were unlucky' excuses and changed things then. But no, we blindly follow the Total Football path in a league where HONEST ENDEAVOUR AND PHYSICAL STRENGTH goes a long way towards gaining promotion...and we are still fvcking doing it now... IT DOES NOT WORK. Therefore, even the most level headed Saints fan cannot sit by and watch the decline take us further into the abyss. IT'S TIME TO CHANGE
