But they have not ruled out Lowe being involved in any bid have they ???

You mean by always going against sound sensible solid FOOTBALLING advice, from established Football people ???? Like .... Ditching Pearson, Going Dutch, Ditching experienced goalscorers, Going for youth, etc, etc ..... ..... yes, he's always put the interests of the Club at heart hasn't he ...... had Barclays NOT pulled the plug re the Overdraft, he would still be with us, still looking forward to life in Div1, but STILL with us If he gets back again, after all that, then Barclays role in all this would have to be seriosly looked at IMHO

No .... Fry has NOT ruled that possibility out

I do NOT agree with that ........ Every season, Clubs in danger of Relegation BUY a few players in the January Transfer window, to try and off set that. The only exception to that is Saints, because Lowe REFUSED Funding of some players 'Arry Boy wanted, to launch our escape bid. Whatever you think of him, Saints are the only Club he "failed" to get out of trouble ...... and the reason for that was Rupert Lowe A season after Saints, from a WORSE position, he saved Pompey, with backing from Mandaric ..... this season he's done the same at Spurs Wheeler Dealer ??? ... Perhaps, but Pompey and Spurs are STILL IN THE PREMIERSHIP ........ Thanks to Lowe, Saints are NOT .... we are now in Division 1 . False "Business Economy" from Mr Know It All

Having Lowe come back again would be the same as going out of business I am talking about the FOOTBALL TEAM ....... something Lowe has never had any real interest in ......... all he has ever tried to do is run a PLC, as has staed that fact on MANY occasions .......

I really hope that is true .......... but stranger things have happened ........ he had no money before, but still commanded plenty of backing ......... and as far as I am aware, he still does in "Business Circles"

According to the Daily Rags, we are a few days away from going out of Business ......... ...... As "Business" is the key word, I assume that heralds the return of Rupert "The Saviour" Lowe ..... and an ever increasing spiral into FOOTBALL OBSCURITY ......... Can NOTHING stop the Pariah coming back ???

Fry was appointed by ... ?????? ......... So no delving from him IMHO, a "lot" of serious money that came into the "Club" , mysteriously was syphoned off via the Leisure Holdings Financial Setup ....... ......... the FOOTBALL side of things got proportionately very little

I suggest you go and look at the Football Results mate ... We are now in DIVISION ONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! We no longer carry any CLOUT ........ Dowie , Ince ??? you're in cloud cuckoo land It will most likely be Rupert Lowe + a Trained Lap Dog ..... ie NO CHANGE

I'm glad that you are happy ....... so you don't mind that Lowe is coming back for the Third time ???

I didn't know that Lowe was wealthy ???

Don't worry about it .... when Lowe gets back, he will inherit the title of "The Eboneezer Scrooge of New Owners", with continued Nil Investment Any comment from Fry re Lowe's interest ?? .... ...... Who appointd Fry, just as a matter of interest ??

I agree .... I remember decisions like ..... Sacking Pearson Bringing in an untried Dutcg Duo Going for Total Football Selling all the Goalscorers Insisting on playing with our Academy Youth Team ....... I'd forgotten what good decisions they were ....... made a whole lot of difference to our season didn't it ?????? PS "experienced football chairman" .... he knows Zilch about Football, and most of the Company's that he has "chaired...... have gone pear shaped But I suppose you can't wait for him to come back, can you ???.

Yes I was ..... but my error was in thinking that Lowe would be permanently gone, and Genuine Parties interested in Investing for the Club's future would step in, and allow us to rise from the ashes But Lowe DELIBERATELY went past the League deadline for Admin this season. That meant 10 points whichever way you call it. Had it been within the League deadline, the 10 points would only have applied for THIS season With the Team that was enforced upon the Club by Lowe's ego trip, did anyone give much hope in us avoiding the drop ?? ......... What Lowe could have done though was to AVOID a points penalty in Div 1 ......... .... HE DIDN'T .......... AND NOW HE'S COMING BACK Thanks to Lowe, we now start with at least 10 .... it MAY be more ...... plus LOWE'S RETURN ........w

THAT is the problem .......... Fry's " smokescreen ) of interested Parties will soon blow away .......... leaving Rupert "I Love The Club" Lowe a straight run in .......... NOW do you believe ???

NO !!!!!!!!! Surely not ???... SHOCK, HORROR I've been on about this from the minute Leisure Holdings went into liquidation .......... but no-one bothered to take it seriously Lowe is a Cancerous Poison that WILL be back. The SAINTS will forever be in the lower League(s), whilst Lowe again Reigns Supreme Watch how fast Fry moves now ............

No thanks .......... Look where being a PLC has got us ....... Lowe's personnal Toy ..... ZERO Investment ( thanks to him ) ....... Bad circumstances I know, but the minute he's gone ...... LOADS of intertested parties Lowe was the Millstone around the neck of Saints The quicker he jumps off the Itchen Bridge with it around his, the better ......

I think it depends on WHO takes us over. If it is a " Low Budget concoction just to get control of the Club ", with NO Investment available for what WE come to see, ie, FOOTBALL, then it will be no better than it is now We ALL want a BIG Takeover, with someone prepared to Invest in putting us back where we should still be, The Premiership Failing that, we will shrink back to being what we were 30 odd years ago .... in the Third Division

What points deduction are you asuming the League will throw at us ???

I am not winding people up .... When he was ousted before, I said that as long as he possessed just ONE share in SFC, he would be back .. Everybody on here thought I was nuts then ........ but he DID come back, and don't we know it now I agree it is just my opinion ........but the man is obsessed with never being wrong, and in his eyes he has done nothing wrong I say again, IMHO, Lowe will be back. He never does anything without a reason ........ Lowe & Wilde joined forces in a Grand Plan. I'm convinced that that plan had very little to do with the well being of OUR Football Club SFC will NEVER be any cheaper to buy than it is now. The "debt" with Norwich(Aviva) can be reduced dramatically with or without the involvement of Southampton Council, and there is still adequate "space" within the Stadium area, to incorporate the other amenities that were lost in the failed Stoneham project ....... ( the majority of which are now safely in place within Eastleigh ) The only stumbling block is that Lowe is lurking in the background I fear, ready to front a Consortium Happy Days

Rupert WILL be back one way or the other

How is it going "tits up" .......... Two of his rivals have been ousted, so therefore his position has been strengthened if anything .......... ................bit like when he used to run SFC ........... All the other apologies for Board Members could never cross Mr 6%

No, I don't suppose we would have ........ but we will never know will we ....... circa 12 years in charge .......... absolute ZERO bundles of cash thrown at us ....... Wastes of Spaces don't come any bigger than "Rupert Egoman Lowe "

What car was Lowe driving ???? .........

Must be a funny ducker ....... certainly Quackers ....
