There is only one way of finding out. Lets go for it and certainly get Riupes to No 1 by the end of the year.

You are right . It does help. The only problem is that you do not get more points for the harder you hit him. There was real venom behind my piunches tonight and they should count double.

I agree entirely. WGS's comments about the dark side (or something like that) spring to mind. WE had so much ... and through someone like Lowe it is being thrown away.

What a great message from a great guy. Many thanks Tim for keeping us in touch with a Saints legend. You do a great job flying the flag in that corner of the world.

Its a letter from Chris Iwelemo that Rupert will probably quote in the interim Report and Accounts.

Or maybe repay the £300k payoff that you received when you left the club so that we could then afford the wages of Stern or Saga.

I am not sure that Crouch really saw his shares in Southampton as a money making acquisition. He is worth many millions & whilst I am sure that he would not be happy to lose money on them, he would see 24p as a price worth paying if the club prospered as a result.

Yes I have. Their English at times can be poor ... but there is never any difficulty in understanding what they are saying. Jan is in a league of his own in that respect. Have you ever heard Scolari, Benitez , Mourinho and the others you mention above refer regularly (over half a season) to "making a goal" when they mean score??

So why doesn't he make sense in his post match interviews??

My Dutch is poor. Completely non existent in fact. That is why I do not apply for jobs in Holland where I would be out of my depth.

Why is this thread silly?? It is clear that JP's team are not playing the way that he wants them to play. His communication skills after the match are poor - his interviews ramble and I find it difficult to understand what he is trying to say. I very much doubt if the players understand him - which could explain our poor organisation on the field and the clueless nature of our play. Perhaps you can explain why this is silly???

Lets just hope we are not firmly ensconced there after 44 games!!

It is amazing that the football club chairman iis not even going to attend the AGM. The largest shareholder cannot een be bothered to attend !! says it all doesn't it???

If so, can you please tell me. I can workout what making a goal means. I can appreciate he says tink instead of think but how about the rest of his ramblings? Once you hae explained can you please also tell the players. Perhaps Rupert will check on a manager's ability to communicate effectively before he chooses a manager next time.

Agree entirely

How about asking if Chris Iwelmo would like to play for us.

I ask because it was the Bristol Rovers game last season that led the Board to realise that Dodd and Gorman couldn't hack it and they had to go. In my opinion , today was probably worse - perhaps Jan ought to be put out of his misery the same way.

I have just got off the phone to a good mate of mine (no name ,no packdrill - lets just call him Scooby Sundance) and he has asked me to post the following .... Look , when we were relegated from the Premiership , it was nothing to do with Lowe. It was just our turn to get relegated. 3 clubs go down every year. It was just our turn. Nothing to do with appointing 3 managers in the season and diverting attention from the club to the radio station, the catering and the insurance services etc etc. If we get relegated this time , it will be nothing to do with Lowe. It was obvious to him, a man steeped in football , that Pearson would never make it as a manager. Why stick with someone like him who knows English football when there are plenty of Dutch non league managers around? What would someone like Pearson,a coach of the England under 21's team know about bringing on young players? How many World Cup finals has Pearson ever played in ?? Anyway who says that we will not anything?? Do you realise that if we go down we will stand a chance to be the first club to win the best catering award in 3 different divisions!!

After today ??? No way

I think the key word here is "been." Very strange isn't it how such a revolutionary thinker is no longer sitting on any of the FA boards. You would have thought that the FA would have jumped at the oportunity of having the services of such a person!! Perhaps they know something about him that you do not Nick. Maybe Rupert refused to serve on one of their boards. They probably don't pay enough for him. Or perhaps they refused to give him enough dosh when they got rid of him. I hear that £300k is his going rate.

Perhaps he won't be a shareholder by then?? Maybe he will have sold his holding. We can but hope!!

What ????? How do you know that Pulis and Gasmi will only get paid when they play? Are you the wages clerk at SFC ??? Gasmi appeared on the pitch last week wearing a Saints shirt but he didn't get involved. Did he even touch the ball? Will he get paid?? :-) If they are not getting paid what are they doing now? Claiming the dole? Begging the other players for odd jobs round their houses??

Andrew????

and Bodminsaint thinks your post is spot on !!! Amazing!!!
