JP?

Yes, but what else is he planning? Too simple. If it happens we must lose this plc forever. We must lose its chief engineer forever... but will we?

My thoughts exactly - why give up when before the last safe moment? What is Lowe planning? What has he been planning? He has been slagging off Crouch since November/December over this in order to prepare for this IMHO - to divert blame. What is Lowe planning? I DO NOT TRUST HIM.

Sort of explains why Lowe has been so vocal in blaming Crouch continually since November for the financial state of the CLub. Deflecting the blame... I suspect we'll hear alot more of this in recent weeks. Watch those who contributed to killing this club fight it out over blame rather than searching for a buyer and offering Saints for sale. That's what we have running us... selfish, greedy, foolish and ultimtely (less Crouch and Corbett) shareholders who genuinely care nothing for this Club only the shares and plc now here represented. If we go into administration... the plc must be allowed to DIE. Never again must this club suffer from petty - poor - businessment who treat this Club as a plaything whilst maintaining their other interests.

Is the local businessman Lowe?

Assuming Saints do go into administration. Who is taking us over? Why is Lowe doing it now and not fighting until the last minute? What does he have planned?

Here we go. Anyone have a link online? Found it... http://www4.talksport.net/mediaplayer/media_player.asp?sListenLive=yes&c=&t

Sorry I know you're being hammered for this alot but there is one important point to all this Lowe blaming Crouch for our problems. It is ****ing irrelevant. If Lowe had rebalanced our side with a decent manager and some steady experienced pros we would be in a better position and have some hope in staying in this league and avoiding administration. He selected a crap manager , undertook the role of Director of Football, and relied on kids. Utter incompetence. He did not inherit a club destined for administration and relegation HE CREATED IT. LOWE MADE THE DECISIONS THAT HAVE LED TO THIS POSITION. IT DIDNT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY. LOWE IS KILLING THIS CLUB. CROUCH WAS. BUT LOWE IS AND PROBABLY HAS.

Was it a mistake to get him out last time? I am not sure it was. I think we'd be in just as bad a state under Lowe - if not worse. The man is associated with failure and ineptitude. We do need a major investment of funds - it is the only way ---- but is Lowe right now looking for it? Is he telling the world the club is for sale and encouraging a buyer? ANSWER = NO. Why is that Mr Lowe? Why?

LOL... I bet that's how JP sounds to the players.

I think we need a simpler system and more consistent team selection from a new more inspirational MANAGER who does not have to implement Lowe's policies. That'll do for me. But we need him NOW.

...although having said that it might of course expose Wotte as being ****e too... still reserves matter not in the great scheme.

I wondered that too.

Yes. But would prefer to see the back of him AND avoid administration.

I sort of feel good when the reserves lose... the reason is that it probably means that we are experimenting or easing off to avoid injury. I pay no attention to what the reserves do to be honest.

LOL - Doom mongering... I am the one saying lets get fighting! To get fighting we need a lucky General... And my lucky pie stain on my shirt of course... the true reason for our decline. Wives and washing machine's eh?!

The chap who won his last game against Barnsley with 4 goals down range? I am not that confident that they will relegate... although he is a bit 'nice' when they need a battler.

Napoleon only selected lucky Generals. We do not have any lucky Generals... and we all know you make your own luck in Football.

Why can't Lowe say... 'unless we find a buyer?' Why does Lowe want to kill this Club? What are his true motives? Do you trust his motives? DO WE TRUST THIS MAN?

Of course it is. You can tell by the daft attack against the previous regime and attempt to absolve the man who put us in this position in the first place. Lowe really is a very evil, dishonest and self-interested man.

Yep - we must do it this season... BUT... it must be done at the latest possible time to give someone else a chance to turn things around. If its late March - so be it. But NOT February Lowe NOT until we have fought hard for this football club's survival in the CCC.

This time though, this is totally Ruperts man and totally Rupert's idea. Lowe is also acting as our Director of Football and forcing policy on to the manager for player selection etc in order to promote youth and alienate (so that they leave) our older players. Lowe is directing JP. JP is partly clueless of the league and certainly not a dynamic leader. He has his own faults which are contributing. Remove of the manager is only part of the problem. They come as a pair IMHO. You have to remove both DoF and JP to stand any real chance of bringing about a successful change, and it is NOT too late if change is made quickly. It is barking to assume that Lowe and JP will succeed. They will not. We are going to be relegated by April under this experiment based on the increasingly poorer performances we are witnessing. Add the FACT that the fans have turned on both Lowe and JP and are now likely to protest and demonstrate against the 2 and NOT support the team, JP/Lowe have lost their 12th man. So there is ONLY one option to try and stay in this league. REMOVAL OF JP AND LOWE IMMEDIATELY.

Which I believe is true but needs a catalyst to spark it. JP needs to resign now and Lowe needs to stand down. At least remove these two defeatists. 90% of fans seem to be content to see them go. Lose the 2 and we have a chance of getting the fans behind the team again... maintain them and singing abuse will just continually get worse. Those who advocate getting behind the team... take a pramagtic tablet. Fans are NOT going to get behind the team now. They just are not. It will send us down quicker but protests and minor violence will not now go away. The only way to stop this and induce fight and support is to SACK JP and his coaching staff and SEND LOWE ON GARDENING LEAVE NEVER TO RETURN. Then and only then will we see the fans getting behind the team and fighting this relegation battle with the Spirit of Southampton coming to the fore once again. 3 wins may see us on a safe path. We are not going to get that with JP and Lowe... just February administration and JP back to operating at 50% of his capacity.
