Possibly because Hull have a good Manager in charge who is getting the BEST out of his Squad, wheras Spurs had a Krap Manager, with Krap tactics, ending with Krap results When you make so many changes per week, that you have to introduce the Team to one another every Match, then you have no chance of building a TEAM Saints have an "untried" Manager, who, unfortunately, has had most of the decent players sold, and is left with Young players that are NOT good enough to play at this level ... YET Most of us can see that ......... all except Lowelife

NO......... How can they ........ His (Lowe's) doctrine is NOT working, and the players are fully aware that Poortvliet is simply Lowe's Monkey on a Rope In ANY Sport, how long can a Manager expect respect, if "His" methods are proving to be completely inafective ???? Lowe's Philosephy of Playing The Academy Team was wrong in concept, and is/has proved to be a disaster in practice ........... Most other people would be man enough to realise this .......... but not Lowe ........ his last act, of loaning out the one remaining Pro that could find the net, ie John, was an absolute CRAZY decision .......... forget about the guff of "finance" ......... we are so deep in the Brown Stuff, that John's wages are peanuts by comparison Poortvliet WOULD succeed, if he :- 1) Told Lowe to butt out 2) Had a few more decent seasoned Pro's to call upon Too late now though, Saints are going down in more ways than one I'm afraid

What !!!!!!!! ...... but McGold***** is Lowe's CHOSEN Striker ......... trouble is, McGold*****'s taken it literally .......... he plays as if he's "On Strike "

OK, but at least he CAN Manage ......... Be honest ...... tell me that you would rather be in the Prem and in Europe ......... than be virtually in Administration at St Mary's ........... Lowe's methods ARE wrong, and have been proved to be for a very long time Problem is, the only person who does not realise that is LOWE And, to dispel the Myth ........ he is NOT as much success in Business as some would have us think

No, don't let it rest my friend ......... Disaster it might have been, but the tragedy is ... it is STILL a disaster, and getting bigger by the day We are but humble Supporters, no, sorry "Customers" ......... and until we can rid OUR Football Club of the Vermin that purport to run it for their own Personnal ends, then things will never get any better. Getting Lowelife and his Quisling Puppet out would just be the start

... 'Arry Boy going to the Spuds is the only glimmer of sunshine in an otherwise rainy season ......... 'Arry jumps ship from the Skates .... his beloved Home ....... love it Now, can someone send Poortvliet an application form, and we can do the same as what Mandaric did to us ..........

What makes you say that ???? ..... That would mean Lowe sacking him ..... and if he did that, it would mean that HIS Brainchild had gone Pear Shaped ..... Can you forsee Lowe admitting he was wrong ....... now THAT would be a first !!!!!!!!!

Shock .... Horror ........ he said things we were not even aware of ....... .. " we were never dangerous, and did not have the firepower to create anything ............... to avoid Relegation, we must turn the boys into men, and they do not have enough experience ..... It is winning that counts, and we must start winning ...... " Well, there you have it .... I've only been watching Football for over 50 years, and his comments have come as an absolute shock. Jan ........ why not say all that to Rupert Lowe ??????????? Lowe has got rid of any and every player we did have that could score GOALS .......... so don't bleat on about lack of "firepower" Lowe was the one that was adamant that Saints would field a Team of Youngsters .... despite MANY seasoned Pro Football people warning him against that route DONT anyone try to blame Saints plight on the UK's Recession .......... because Saints have been in Recession for Quite some time........... having Lowe and Wilde back were the final Two nails We have now been "asset stripped" of most of the Players that could be sold for money, and in the January Sales, we will lose aprox HALF of the current First Team, for knock down, "accept any price" sales WHY ???????? To allow Lowe's pitiful attempts at keeping the wolf from the door to be played out to the last. WHY ????????? Because Lowe is NEVER wrong Bring on Administration I say ....... Lowe is only doing what an ADMINISTRATOR would be told by a Bank to do ......... WHY prolong the agaony "Business's" can only survive and recover if they have a level playing field to launch a recovery from .................Saints struggling on with ever rising debts is simply like Pi**ng into the wind Accept the inevitable NOW Lowe & Wilde ......... and leave what remains of our Club FOREVER

Exactly WHAT long term potential benefits will Jackson's Farm bring ??? NOTHING as regards SAINTS ......... Everything as regards Lowe & Wilde ..... It will not be long before all those that shouted me down over this will have to change their opinion Lowe & Wilde are there for the benefit of Lowe & Wilde .... nothing else It is only down to Lowe's narrow minded "Lowe First" mentality, that has stopped us going to Administration months ago. Enough is Enough ........... we HAVE to accept Administration ......... Lowe has got the "Pound of Flesh" he came back for ........ He is leading us into NON EXISTANCE .........

I really would be grateful if someone could explain to me exactly what, in essence, is the difference between us pitifully struggling on trying to make ends meet .......... as Lowe is desperately doing .......... and going into Administration, where at least we'd come out of it with a "clean slate" but would be rid of the useless WASTERS WILDE 7 LOWE

I don't think so ... I'm sure that more than a few got the real gist of what I was getting at ..... Already, the excuses for defeat are getting both repetitive and boring, irespective of whether they were Jans comments "word for word" A poor Team and a bad defeat ....... I do not need "Jan" to come out with pitiful after the match comments to tell me we must learn and do better. ( It is painfully obvious that no one at St Mary's is taking HIM seriously ) I was there, I saw it ............ at the moment, the only thing I look silly about, is the fact that I have a Season Ticket ...............

OK, Fair play, I apologise ... I've got it all wrong .... It's a bad dream ... Saints are NOT just above the Relegation places, they are pushing for promotion Saints new Dynamic Dutch Masters have turned things around, and we are playing truly great "total football" After every defeat, they do not in any way say the same sort of things as for the previous defeat You, like I, are confident that we will slaughter Sheffield Utd tonight "Complete ignorance of fact " ..... Really ??? .... Sounds like you won't think (another) Relegation is a real possibility until it is a mathematical Fact ??

The Football Team may "go down the pan " The PLC will not Think about it !!!! Lowe does NOT have to have a Successful Football Team, to run a Successful BUSINESS, ie The PLC

Tut Tut ................... "Poetic License" my friend Don't you think that JP's "excuses" are beginning to sound the same after every defeat ?????????? Or are you stuck up Lowe's 'Rse so far, that you cannot see that the Edam & Gouder Experiment is falling apart at the seams ??? Before you respond, I'd wait until the Sheffield result filters through ......

Another 0-3 Defeat IMHO ........... but I hope everybody applauds Lowe & Wilde as they take their places in the Directors Trough ..........

The Story So Far Blackpool (H) Lost 0-1 Excuses :- "I am very disappointed, We lacked concentration and professionalism. We have to pick ourselves up , learn from this, and go on to the next game " QPR (A) Lost 4-1 Excuses :- "I am very disappointed, We lacked concentration and professionalism. We have to pick ourselves up , learn from this, and go on to the next game " Rotherham (A) Lost 3-1 Excuses :- "I am very disappointed, We lacked concentration and professionalism. We have to pick ourselves up , learn from this, and go on to the next game " Coventry (A) Lost 4-1 Excuses :- "I am very disappointed, We lacked concentration and professionalism. We have to pick ourselves up , learn from this, and go on to the next game " Watford (H) Lost 0-3 Excuses:- "I am very disappointed, We lacked concentration and professionalism. We have to pick ourselves up , learn from this, and go on to the next game " .... Is it just me, or can I spot a trend of the same old excuse here ???

Correct ......... but Lowe will have guided us to a £7.76p Credit Situation .....

The reason being that although he "wasn't in charge" ......... he still had his SHARES ........... and the Clout that goes with it ie ... You can only PURCHASE if the potential SELLAR is WILLING TO SELL.... Lowe NEVER wanted to sell his shares ..... and now back in charge ..... he never will

Not "someone out there " mate ......... someone IN there ........ LOWE

Difference in Attitude ......... Charlton WANT to be taken over, and have WELCOMED the potential Investors SFC (PLC) .. ie Lowe, does not WANT to be taken over, and has NEVER Welcomed any potential Investor Lowe is quite happy to run the PLC, and (will) deliver a a Divi to the beloved Shareholders ........ but us CUSTOMERS, and the FOOTBALL side of things can shrink down to whatever the PLC requirements are at the time. Simple Business Logic ....... you do not HAVE to have success on the field, to have a Successful PLC

During HR's stint at St Mary's, it was obvious to most, that the Squad needed to be strengthened if we were to avoid Relegation from the Prem In EVERY other Team that HR has been involved with, I think it fair to say that he has "Spent his way out of trouble" ...... and has avoided Relegation Whilst at Saints ....... he did not bring in any Big signings to help stave off the obvious ............. WHY NOT IMHO, I am convinced that Lowe, with absolutely no TRUST whatsoever in HR, DID NOT nor WOULD NOT sanction any Big Money player(s) that HR wanted to get ........... "After relegation HR couldn't be arsed "" ............ of course not .......... would you have been ??? ........... he was already ****ed off with Lowe for NO allowing action when it had been needed most ..... DURING THE RELEGATION FIGHT

Everybody knows how much was actually "splashed out" as you put it Read my post again ............ WHY did 'Arry Boy, with a PROVEN TRACK RECORD of "splashing" money out on Transfers, FAIL to do so ??????? LOWE CHICKENED OUT in releasing any, it's as simple as that Name ANY other Club that HR has been Manager of, where he DIDN'T spend his way out of a problem ??? ..........

So, are you saying that Southampton has been the ONLY Club that 'Arry Boy could NOT get players to come to ????? ............ NO WAY ......... he has ALWAYS done well re getting players Lowe (SFC) DID have Funds, but for some reason Lowe chickened out and did not sanction any, and THAT was, at the time, his WORST EVER BUSINESS DECISION ............ because we lost our Prem status, AND all the Prem money that went with it

OK Folks ..... we've kept it quiet for long enough ........ someone has GOT to tell Rupert that Killer's got a bit of a niggling injury .............

Sure you don't mean Activa ????? ........... you know, the stuff that helps you to S**t ????
