Thanks to PES and Mack rill for their informed comments and it has to be said genuine concern.

More likely a "look where he is failing now" story.

Good one. Some amusement in an otherwise depressing and possibly sinister storyline.

I remember that but can't recall who we were playing.Lurking in the back of my mind is Leeds c1970 or 71. I picture Eric Martin on lying on the goalline trying to collect the ball,with a quick slight of hand and arm to make it appear as if it were still in play.Or was that a different monumental balls up. My favourite Saints goal for quality was MLT's first vNewcastle in the 2-1. My favourite for sheer joy at the time Steve Moran's last minute goal at Nottarf Krap 1984.

I too subscribe to the Tisdale option,but long term starting for next season. Allen,despite his wheeling/dealing in the loan market has not been that successful at Cheltenham,where he is operating without resources.One regular told me that Allen's constant changing the team/squad round was a major factor in their poor run. Danny Wilson really is yesterday's man,having gone through Bristol City and Hartlepool where he has failed.

What, Rupert has a liking for Dutch transvestites ? Don't believe it.

Rupert does like to surround himself with some mysterious people...the one common denominator though is that they all know f^ck all about football,or football in England anyway. Actually I thought the bloke looked like Rupert's minder.If KVDW can get on with Lowe I suspect a bit more digging and we will establish his father or grandfather collaborated with the Gestapo during the occupation of Holland.

Of those mentioned I think only Boothroyd,Dowie or Cotterill might make an immediate impact that we need.Longer term I don't think they are such a great option though. Would ideally like one of the above three until the end of the season,and a review of it then depending on how they get on and possible availability of say Tisdale to build it up.

And 10,000 supporters have been absent for the last 12 months but Rupert hasn't really noticed.

Absolute B0LL0CKS ! IMHO of course.

Johan Spastic. Of course Rupert could still be taking informal advice from Hoddle;our recruitment policy of recycling youngsters to give another chance does have a similarity to his academy.

I suspect with two "hosts" there will be one less qualifying place to go for though.

If its another Lowe footballing innovation then it is more likely to be Tim Van Der Half Witte. Or a public school acquantance Tim Nice but Van Dimme. Sorry not mocking,nothing would surprise me about any Lowe appointment.

Quite a few goalies on loan over the years,Colin Boulton,Jim Montgomery and Chris Woods.

Scored a couple of much needed goals at a desperate time for the club. Your memory is correct,unless Sundance can tell us anything different !:smt044

I have often asked the question on previous threads as to why SISA has not been reformed but still to see any answer. Living out of the area and in the pre-internet days I always felt SISA was pretty effective for the Branfoot days and was sorry to see it disappear.I presume its demise was due to egos/internal squabbles ,or had just run its course once Branfoot was no longer there.

Perhaps we need a protest or a boycott to force Nick Illingsworth to stand down,or at least his supporters to abandon him. Then,and only then can we talk about a protest or boycott to get rid of Lowe. Sorry but this seems a bit too reminiscent of whether we want to be the Judean Peoples Front or The Front of the People of Judea.

Sorry FF,but for clarity is "he" Salz, or Lowe that is not showing the aptitude ? I assume you mean RL,but you might know more about Salz's actions on the periphery of things.
