This is one of the best posts ive read in ages. Totally agree St Marco.

Lowe for...... Getting rid of Pearson. Bringing in the Dutch duo. Appointing Wott,who wasnt good enough to be offered the job first time around. For playing our youth team,instead of our first team. For blaming everyone else for the state of our club. For being here. I would also like to nominate Wilde for an award of his own. Lets call it "The award for bear-face lying,being a turncoat,letting the fans down" award.

Well we have all been fed bull-****e from Lowe since the days of the FA Cup final. A little bit more from the Itchen river shouldnt make a difference.

If the Skates did come down to our level and we managed to stay in this league by the skin of our teeth,then they would beat us easily with the team we have. Just think of the teams that have beaten us at SMS this season. Also as someone has already said,most of our first team wont be here next season anyway. Sad times indeed.

I didnt go to the mega store,but i was in the Dellbar when Andrew Cowen came in with two other serious looking men.They were looking around the place pointing and talking in low voices. Perhaps next season the Dellbar could be a McDonalds?

After watching him today against QPR,i think we should try and get as much money as we can for him. He hasnt been his best for a long time.I dont know if hes lost his confidence or is just not bothered,but either way we cant afford to keep letting him miss easy goals. Either sell him or drop him to the reserves.But please do it soon.

Not kept us in the Premiership by failing to invest?

Do i want Lowe to stay?-Of course not. Do i think Lowes best for the club?-Just look at the amount of fans who have stopped going and how he splits the fanbase. His bad decisions have helped put us where we are now. Do i like him?-Cant say because ive never met him.

Pearson also gave us Saints fans something else at the end of last season.....the feelgood factor. Its been a long time since i had felt that supporting SFC.

"This total football the Saints are playing,is certainly lifting them high up the table".

Thing is he was never going to do as well as Rednapp did,because he had to sell some of his players,wasnt given the money Rednapp was and of course Rednapp took Defoe with him. Who would you like to see manage Pompey PES?

Perhaps Status Quo could play their song"Down,down,deeper and down"?

Anything up to 55 is still quite young,although once you reach 60,i think you can be called a grumpy. Anything over 70,then you can officially be called a fossel. And before you ask,im 45.

Well hopefully even more will do it this time. I go on all the protests and have been known to shout the odd word of abuse towards Lowe,Wilde and the board,but i realise they are not that bothered about my/my fellow fans views. This is the only way i can show how unhappy i am.

But if hes going to take a wage,surely it wouldnt be too much to ask if he could do his job properly?

I urge all ST holders to send back their forms with "Not until Lowe is gone" written on them. Thats what im doing.

No way will we stay up. It would take a momentous effort from the team and i just dont think they are up to it.

If i remember rightly,then we had about 9500 ST holders this season. Next season if there are no changes in the Chairman,boardroom,manager etc, just for arguements sake,lets say we are still in the Championship,then i think we will be less than 5000 ST holders.If we are relegated,then i think 3000 will be nearer the figure. The way Lowe runs things,i think nothing will change. Either way it doesnt look good.

Well Professor before i start on my response,thankyou for taking the time to mention me personally.Despite me never agreeing with anything you say,i have a respect for your opinions and this place would be the poorer without you. Now lets address your points. 1-Yes the club was fighting relegation at the end of last season,but by the skin of our teeth,we beat it.If you were there,then you would have seen the passion of the players,coaching staff and the fans.By god we stayed up,but all that positive passion has been destroyed by Lowes petty mindgames,getting rid of Pearson. Feelgood factor gone before the season starts. 2-Your second point about about no Chairman being able to do anything with what we have now,is laughable imo. Its because of our Chairman,we are where we are now. Who was the Chairman who wasted hundreds of thousands on SCW,Simon Clifford,An eye dome etc?Surely other clubs wouldve invested their parachute money on better players? 3-As for the players playing better away from home,then to be fair i am lost for words.But in my defence,i think the team has been supported fantastically at home this season,despite very poor home performances. 4-Your last point about finding something positive about the club.Everyone i know who is a Saints fan desperately wants to find positives about the club,but while Lowe is here and while he cuts the free bus passes,the corners of the stadium,plays the reserves,treats the fans with contempt,goes on holiday when we are in dire straights,gets rid of a popular manager and appoints a Dutch unknown,then sacks him and appoints Dutch unknown no 2,gets rid of good proven backroom staff and divides the fanbase,then i doubt anyone in their right mind will support this dictator of a Chairman. 5-As for concentrating on saying something good about the club,i will do better than that.I will actually go to games and support the team and cheer them on,though with Lowes "Total Football" experiment,we havent seen much success at home this season.

Oh well. Another week over and another rumour comes to nothing. Wonder what next week will bring?

Why not do what most companies do and advertise?

You are of course right JFP as Wotte was already here,but he was considered not good enough to be offered the job first and he was more concerned with the reserve team. So the fact that we now have a second choice in charge,rather than the first second choice(Portaloo over Pearson),means things have changed. But we all know that Lowe is the one pulling the strings.

No way am i renewing,add to that the twenty or so friends and family that i go with. Every single one of us have had enough of disappointment, poor performances, stupid experiments-eye dome,SCW,Simon Clifford etc, The Dutch fiasco, Lowe, Wilde, The board, McGoldrick, Having to watch the reserves,instead of a grown up team, closing the Itchen North, Removing the free bus travel, And the state of the beer in the concourses.

I dont like giving players a hard time,but it doesnt seem to work when we get behind the team and cheer them on,either. So whats the answer?

Hopefully i will have a glass of sherry and smile as i read my telegram from the King congratulating me on my 100th birthday.
