Didnt we also giggle when they appointed Adams from within after Recrap left. Just like us with Gray & Wigley I thought, it wont work. Lowe then does it again - I now believe that Lowe has a mental health issue or he wants us to go bust so he can buy us for 37p & a pack of Polo's? :fball:

Wow he managed a team at the top, but then got homesick: "Wotte currently coach Egyptian leaders Ismaelia.Wotte missed his wife and children and preferred a move back to the Netherlands." Thats your lot, off to bed.

Were Spurs interested in Wotte in 2005? http://tottenhamhotspur.blogspot.com/2005/07/are-spurs-lining-up-new-sporting.html

Also found this, also not listed on his OS Profile? "It had been a strange season for Roda JC. They sacked Belgian boss Georges Leekins early in the season despite that fact that he had seen them to European football for the last two seasons and appointed Mark Wotte who had recently resigned from his role at Vitesse Arnheim. This hadn’t been the most astute move by the Roda board and they were now battling to avoid relegation. "

Found in an old Echo Archive: "Alan Ball told the Daily Echo that Lowe would be "gambling with Saints' future" if he appointed Wotte as the club's ninth manager in eight years. Wotte, meanwhile, has revealed that he was recommended to Saints by a former England Under-21 coach, believed to be former head coach and head of youth Steve Wigley, who is now the reserve team manager at Manchester City." We are as they say Fooked!

Found this: "At the end of the season 2006/07, RKC Waalwijk were relegated from the Eredivisie after a defeat in play-offs against VVV-Venlo." Please tell me that Wotte wasnt responsible for this too! Why the hell did Lowe want Wotte before turning to Burley- His record is Crap!

Long Way Down

It feels like Lowe will change things if we protest, but, they will always be done to **** us off even more! Gray & Wigley - Wotte the f*ck!

So here is Wottes Profile / CV according to the official site. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/team/?page_id=6587&player_id=157 Mark Wotte was appointed Head Coach on 23rd January 2009, following the resignation of fellow Dutchman Jan Poortvliet. He came tantalisingly close to landing the Saints job in December 2005 when George Burley was appointed instead. He holds a UEFA Pro Licence and played for Feyenoord and ADO The Hague before injury ended his career in 1986. Wotte ran the Dutch Olympic Under 21 side and was a technical director at Feyenoord. He likes to play the traditional Dutch attacking football, building from the back with a neat, technical passing game fired by talented young players who can outrun and outwork the opposition. He has an extensive track record of bringing on youngsters and great experience of organising academy structures. Fact file Mark Wotte played for Feyenoord and ADO The Hague before injury ended career in 1986.

Waalwijk Premier League 2007 Al Ahli Doha Qatar 1st Division 2007-2008 I dont trust this info on the OS and feel it needs to be examined and expanded (sackings, promotions, etc) in detail. His Wikipaedia entry is very lacking, anyone know a better site or maybe we have some Dutch Football experts on here who can help? :confused:

Disagree. As much as I hate Lowe & Wilde I would rather the team stay up with Wotte and we deal with the board removals before and after the matches. I'm cheering the team on (well until we are 3 down anyway)! :fball:

The UI are hinting at this too? http://www.clubfanzine.com/southampton/v2.showNews.php?id=17509

Sides often win the first one or two after a new appointment. Perhaps Lowe will employ ten more managers this season on two week contracts? Thats devious!

Look about 15 posts above you Lumpof shipperley. ANY STATTOS OUT THERE - What are Wottes figures?

Spill a few beans Hypo?

For me its just further evidence that Lowe has to go. Anyone who hasnt learn from the Gray & Wigley appoitments is a fool!

Dont normally send praise east of me, but they are quality!

Mods - Please can you arrange it so that the four star word can only be used on threads about Lowe & Wilde?

I used to take the Michael out of the benny's when I was at school!

In 53 weeks time we may be looking back at our amazing protest march that delivered us Dowie / Boothroyd and a mid table finish? :cool:

We beat you twice that season, stood 10 yards from your fans both times. Firstly enjoyed the jealous stadium looks on your faces and then the pain in losing. Son of a gunrunner will be gone soon, you know whats coming next!
