OK so everyone commenting on here put yourself in his position. You are a lifelong Saints fan, but you are playing pro football for another club. Hey, beggars can't be choosers and anyone who gets offered a pro contract anywhere is daft for not taking it up. As it is your team are virtually guaranteed promotion. So you are playing against your boy/girlhood team who are at risk of not even existing in the very near future, and a cross comes in that you can get your head on, Do you, A, say f uck it, you are paid to score goals and ****** to everyone else or B, in the melee of the box duck out of the header and save 'your club' from certain relegation for another week, for the sake of a small wage bonus.

Seriously, after todays 'performance' none of them deserve it. Surely it would help the club if they all donated a weeks pay to help the club, and their potential employers, survive. Just MHO.

To be replaced by an Emirates A380. BAA selling out. THey should be ashamed:mad:

Think it was moved round the back of BAs maintenance depot a while ago. Very sad sight to se it sat there with bits missing. There are still a few in this country, think the one at the Brooklands museum is the nearest.

Took my eldest when he was 5 or 6. Told him he might hear a few naughty words, and under no circumstance was he to repeat any of them in front of his mother. I had a major 'don't let them see you laughing' moment when at half time he looked up to me at half time and said 'Dad, can I swear at the ref in the second half?' Took our youngest son to the Preston game, he's 3. He lasted far longer than I expected him to, although I didn't consider the fact that he didn't have a clue about the rules so I spent the whole game explaining in kiddie terms why they were taking a corner, or a throw etc etc!

Sorry for starting yet another admin thread, but with all this talk of Rupes possibly trying to weasel his way back in its worth knowing if the creditors have any say in potential buyers. Surely Barclays/NU wouldn't want him back in charge?

Why let common sense and reasoned thought get in the way of a good old takeover thread?

I think he means if we get to the end of the season then the club will be bought.

But was it Leon who ****ed it up against the wall? As I remember it was Wildes cronies who spunked all the money we didn't have coming in. LC actuall started the cost cutting that Lowe carried on with. LC only mistake I can really remember is sticking with Dodd and Gorman for as long as he did, but he put it right in the end.

Because according to what LC said if the club doesn't raise £500k by the end of the month there won't be a club left for anyone to buy. We need to survive the next 3 weeks first and foremost, a buyout won't happen overnight.

Hopefully you've answered your own question. The club is in need, Rupert and Wilde are gone, were not mathematically down yet ( until tuesday at least).

Agreed, thought it brightened up a very dull afternoon. Had to laugh at the way he barged past the ref to get at Parkinson, bolloz to the consequences:D

What they will have noticed however, is a virtually full ground. Keep this up for the next couple of games and we should make a very attractive prospect.

TBF I would imagine the administartors would want to see proof of funding before announcing they had any interest, eg tyre kickers need not apply, although it could be a tactic to try and force certain tyre kickers out of the woodwork and see if they have the financial backing to match their mouth.

There was a huge Echo banner on top of Skandia House.

A real fan would fly home IMO;)

I would imagine yet another managerial change is the very last thing the team needs now, at least until our fate is sealed one way or the other.

Birching Racking Breaking on the wheel Hanging, drawing and quartering All in public of course. In all seriousness though Ponty, did he actually pay anything for his shares in the first place? I honestly can't remember how he came to be in power, apart from it being a bit underhand.

I'm not sure if I've got this right, but if Lowe does resign tomorrow, or any time in the near future, does he just get away with this scot free? I mean, as far as I remember he didn't exactly pay much for his shares in the first place, his chronic mis-management has cost a lot of people their jobs and livlihoods, not to mention other businesses linked with Saints suffering from our demise. And what does Lowe get? It seems to me like he gets to walk away with nothing, it cost him nothing to get in and it will cost him nothing to walk away leaving the friggin mess he has created. Really doesn't sem fair:(

Apparently a few people have spoken to him and he has confirmed he is looking to buy the club, is this the moment he's been waiting for? Or is he just a mouthy chancer who likes to big himself up, dare I say another Wilde?

AFC Totton are doing just fine.

You've conveniently managed to miss the entire point of my post. And you tell me what redcrap has done since he left us, apart from bankrupting the skates on their way to a cup final.

Good grief no! Was thinking more along the lines of a Nigel Clough/Pearson/Phil Brown type.

Does being offered a proffesional contract not count then? I had a good long chat with SCW at Staplewood one evening. Nice guy, very approachable and happy to chat, and really does know a thing or two about football. AS much as I hate Lowe for everything he's done I reckon bringing in SCW was actually one of his better idea's, just the timing and execution were wrong. He was never going to be able to work with a dinosaur like Redcrap, however if he had been teamed with a younger up and coming manager who wasn't so stuck in the dark ages, things could have been very different IMO.

Pre match motivation? How about inserting a few well aimed toes into a few arses, like managers do occasionally.
