Yes and Pearson inherited a team that was midtable! What does that tell you? OMG!

Wotte = Wigley. Draws...draws .... relegation. Our rivals are winning. Get the men back with a decent British manager and we stand a chance of converting the draws to wins.

Super news - I hope a potential buyer comes forth from the publicity. Marchers should be proud of themselves today.

Same person who put out John, Rasiak and Dyer. Bring back the men!.... Lowe's Total footy with kids looks like its now dead... now lets convert these draws to WINS. MORE MEN PLEASE! (And we can afford it with Crouch as Chairman and the £2m he brings)

So far so good? Your glass is half full Nick, mine is sadly half empty. ...Wotte is becoming the next Wigley. Mr Draws and relegation! He's not that good! But, I am relieved to see the start of playing men and not boys. Total footy IS dead I think. Still, gives us a little more of a chance of spinning the season out a little longer than a loss.

!!!! Now get the rest of the loanees back and we might survive!!!

If that's the Club policy team selection today, having originally said I was going for a draw I'm saying... Swansea Win - 2-1

Not true. Chairman of boards are almost always sacked when their shares fall as dramatically as they have under Lowe's chairmanship. If you're rubbish you are sent packing at every level. I dont think all of Lowe's choices have been awful either... .just around 70% of them. But, Wilde's decision to back Lowe I'm afraid was crass at best, sinister or plain and simply TOTALLY FOOLHARDY. ...and he wonders why a thousand odd people are marching on the stadium today!

Havent we all mate. But, what tends to happen in my job and most others is that when you fail you get sacked. Its to do with CONFIDENCE from employees and business associates et al that you can do your job. Lots of people today are going to openly protest their lack of confidence in the failures that are Wilde and Lowe. Lowe and Wilde have failed, are continuing to fail - and I would be prepare to say - will continue to fail in the future. It's like backing a threelegged race horse to win the Derby because the rewards sound great... but it can't jump over the first fence.

Faz. There is a close line sometimes between courageous and foolhardy decision-making. On current evidence the latter would seem to be being borne out. Here's some facts for you: 16 Plymouth 28 5 3 6 18 17 4 3 7 9 16 -6 33 17 Nottm Forest 29 4 5 6 14 17 4 4 6 18 22 -7 33 18 Barnsley 29 6 3 6 19 15 3 2 9 10 24 -10 32 19 Norwich 30 6 4 5 27 20 2 3 10 12 26 -7 31 20 Doncaster 29 4 5 5 7 10 4 2 9 14 23 -12 31 21 Watford 29 7 3 5 28 24 1 3 10 13 26 -9 30 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22 Derby 28 5 4 5 17 15 2 4 8 11 25 -12 29 23 Southampton 29 1 6 7 10 18 5 3 7 16 26 -18 27 24 Charlton 29 4 4 7 20 27 1 3 10 10 24 -21 22

No - because he couldnt. He cares about SLH plc ... he has never understood the basic principle that running a football club, and all of the joys and misery that it inflicts on thousands of supports, does not require a man at the helm who thinks about himself first. SOUTHAMPTON Football Club is about exactly that - it represents the people and pride of Southampton. The 'Spirit of Southampton' as many have been recently refering to. The spirit that will see a few thousand today marching against these individuals. These are intangibles.... but so imprtant. So I'm afraid I wholeheartedly disagree with you. I see no evidence of Lowe and Wilde acting in SOUTHAMPTON's interest. They bring selfishness and pain... and what's more have never said they'll sell and go. Rant over

I think it proved the opposite in spades.... non-fans are THE WORST people to take a club forward. Because they only care for themselves. Wilde is not a fan. Lowe/Wilde's Plan B involves, administration, asset stripping and increasing personal control over a football club destined to be a business that revolves around being a feeder club from League 1.

Two times more than Lowe.

I think theres a little truth in this article. A little truth. Damaging peoples pride can have strange effects on people.

There is only one lesson we need to finally learn. With Lowe = failure. Without Lowe = hope.

Wilde has Lowe's arrogance incipidly seeping from this article. Sorry Mike, financially I guess you may be right... but if you're telling me Lowe's policy of youth and cloggies has been in the clubs interest you are the foolish one. We couldve have a financially challenging year with men and Pearson. We could have survived. YOU and Lowe chose a stupid experiment he's had in mind for years. YOU and Lowe have killed this club from another level of football and ripped out the pride of many ordinary supporters. YOU have made peoples lives a misery. YOU are a broken man if you're allowing yourself to be Lowe's mouthpiece. YOU are a fool.

Duncan - honorable and true - I hope the vast majority march for the right moral reasons you have outlined. THIS MARCH HOWEVER NEEDS A CAUSE. IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO EVERYONE WHO ATTENDS.... The world is watching this with interest. A protest like this has not happened anywhere else in the football league this year... TELL THE WORLD - LOWE/WILDE OUT AND WE WOULD WELCOME A NEW OWNER WITH OPEN ARMS! COME AND BUY US. That has to be the message today. Simple - international coverage potentially awaits... tell the world we the fans would welcome a buyer as a hero! Premiership infrastructure. Premiership fans. Premiership history. Come and buy us!

I think he's pretty close to the truth to be honest. I do think bringing on men however changed the Norwich game around, which sort of undermines some of his arguments. But, in general he's hit the nail firmly on the head... **** cheapo manager. Crap club policy of playing youth. Always destined to fail. Urgently require men.

I'm going for a Crouch takeover on Sunday and he stays... well I can hope can't I!?

SKACEL. Molecule is as tiny in talent as his name suggests on current evidence. Trouble is... his will to live has finally been broken by Lowe's policies.

Will we stay up under Wotte? Not a cat in hells chance. ... he comes as part of a disasterous package - see LG3C's points just above. He's spot on.

“I want only players who are totally committed to Southampton Football Club.” Wotte which evidently means; “I can't find any players who want to be committed to Southampton Football Club.”

Anyway... off to work. Good chatting to you Nick/Mick/Bob. This dialectic debate has been fun!

Read again - thats exactly what I am saying. I am talking about the NOW, but also basing it on historical evidence. But the Situation NOW (for evidence please refer to league table and form tables, they rarely lie) is : Lowe = relegation. Crouch = possibly not relegation.

Couldnt agree more and please read my posts again - he is not brilliant, only the lesser of two evils that are in contention. If Duncan's man on a white charger appears I am all for throwing in my support. But Lowe is NOT an alternative way. He IS killing the club and his motives for doing so unclear.
