If the banks had as much faith in Lowe as some seem to have, and they were telling Lowe to reduce costs, which his supporters claim he has. Why on earth did they pull the plug now? Why did they bounce 3 cheques after he claims they agreed to honour them. Surely if Lowe was doing such a good job it would have been in their interests to hold out for another couple of months. In those 2 months Seson Ticket (which is gate money upfront) money would come in. Some high wage earners were out of contract and others could be sold early summer. Surely they would have waited to see what league we'd be in before pulling the plug. Personally it looks to me like they lost faith in Lowe, didn't think he'd kept his promises, or thought he was a block to investment and any chance of them getting their money back.

And beating up his pregnant girlfriend, an offence he aceptted a Police Caution for.

But he was rubbish when he was fit. Look at his record. This signing tells you everything you need to know about Rupert Lowe and his running of our Club. Totally and utterly clueless.

He should have scored.

He missed a sitter 5 minutes before he scored.

Cause Redknapp's done nothing since he left us. If he was stuck in the dark ages, modern class players wouldn't want to play for him. Since Redknapp left, name one thing that indicates Lowe/SCW were right and Redknapp was wrong.

Personally I think Rupert came back to stop this happeneing, or a least make it harder for him.

There is no way Kelvin Davis will play in League 1 and there's not much chance he'll take reduced wages.

Well I'm not an architect, but surely we could have done better. Personally I would have prefered the stands nearer the pitch creating a similar feeling as at the Dell. Rupert had the chance to start a new era in a unique stadium,tailor made for us and tailored to our needs. He didn't have the vision to pull it off, nor would I have been able to, however, I wasn't paid to do so.

I think we were so desperate for a new stadium we overlooked the obvious failings of SMS. Rupert had the chance to show some vision and foresight, and build a stadium to be proud of, but instead we've got a stadium looking tired already. As you say the stands are too far away, and unless packed to the rafters, it is rather souless. Another missed oppurtunity Rupert.

When McG plays regulary in the Premiership,when he scores a FA Cup Semi Final goal, then perhaps we can compare him to Ormerod. Ormerod wasn't quite good enough for the Premiership, but made the most of his limitted talent. McG is CCC at best, but seems to think he's something special.

I thought I was going to have to work Saturday, but in the end I didn't. It was too late to get tickets (not that I tried that hard) so decided to have a round of golf with a couple of mates. Had a throughly enjoyable day,*****il the football results came in), a few beers afterwards and it cost me less than a trip to SMS. The Mrs was happy as I was home earlier, and in a better state than normal, and my blood pressure was proberly a lot lower as well. Obviously the weather being nice made the round better( and I played ok) but started me thinking that there could be nicer things to do on a Saturday.

We got thumped 5-0 at Hull and still stayed up. Billy Davies has a very good record in this league.

If Jim Smith was "let go" because he had a drink problem, then Lowe did the right thing by citing finance as an issue. Better that than drag a respected football man's name through the mud (even if he was a Skate).

Would Leicester be running away with League 1 if Wotte was the Manager. What's Pearson got to do to earn some respect from the Lowe Luvvies, win the Premiership? Is this ******* contest going to continue with very Manager appointed for the next 10 years? Most supporters think Lowe should have kept Pearson on, and made a mistake by not doing so.Judging every Manager that comes in against, Pearson, will still not change that fact.

I think any more protests are bound to decrease in size and value, if it's the same thing over and over again.Now people can see there's been a slight change of direction and ALL the squad are available for selection, now is not the time to protest. Lowe has got us into this mess and needs to go in the summer, but nothing will be gained by it before then. Personally, I intend to get behind the whole Club, and think everyone should do the same. The time to let Lowe know our feelings is after the season ends. or god forbid when it's impossible to stay up.

It is quite common in Football for an incoming regime to want their own man. In fact keeping the present Manager is sometimes a distraction and a bad thing, because he never really has the backing of the new people, and speculation about other Managers runs riot. I can understand Lowe wanting his own man, although in hindsight it looks like a major error.What gets to me is the "we couldn't afford him" line. Instead of Lowe thanking him for his work, but saying he wanted someone else to move the Club forward. He spun us this money line, when it was obvious he was not going to keep him on. Had Glenn Hoddle been willing to do the job for Pearson's wages, Lowe would have appointed him. Had Pearson not been so popular with the majority of the support, Lowe would have just got rid, without the "money" line. Personally I think Lowe bottled it and tried to bring his new regime in without upsetting the fans too much, the end result was he looked shifty and underhand and it was not a very good start to his return.

Makes Wotte's decision to take him off against Bristol and leave McG on look a bit silly as well. Let's not forget if Lowe had his way, not only would Saga have not been playing yesterday, but Rudi, Euall and possibly Kelvin as well. The only way we'll stay up this season is if Saga goes on the type of run he had 2 years ago. He needs to play every minute of every game remaining, and maybe he may just manage to ensure that Lowe's "policies" earlier in the season, do not end up being fatal.

I thought he resigned. Unless the Club aren't telling us the truth. I thought the last regime "failed to communicate with supporters" according to Lowe, so he would keep us all informed and tell the truth, wouldn't he?, unless he's a hypercrite, of course.

Under Jan we stuck 3 past Preston, so let's not get too carried away. The fact that we're now playing more direct, with senior players all involved is a good thing. Most have been calling for that all season. If Wotte manages to save us, it will just show how stupid the appointment of Jan and the selection and formation policies were earlier in the season. It takes a big man to admitt his mistakes, but I somehow doubt whether Lowe will consider earlier policies a mistake. I fully expect all the blame will be laid firmly at Jan's door.

You didn't answer his question though, did you? You claim Lowe's conduct was "professional" and yet you then claim he read it out "on purpose, to rub Crouch's nose in it". That's hardly "professional" is it?

There's no guarantee that anyone will do a good job elsewhere. However if they've been sucsessful elsewhere it leads me to believe they'd have been so at Saints.Had SAF gone to Newcastle instead of Man U, would he have had the same sucsess, proberly not, although it's inconceivable Newcastle wouldn't be better off then they are now. Being in Preston's postion now as opposed to Everton's, Moyes is exactly the type of Manager we need (that's the Moyes at Preston). We had someone similar in Nigel Pearson (in my opinion), and Lowe let him go. There's no guarantee that Pearson will become a Moyes, and do a good job for someone in the Premier League, however there's more chance of him doing it than Wotte.........

I can not see that sort of support (Pompey Post) whilst Lowe is at the helm. The spirit was alive and well for last season's Sheff Utd game, despite a god awful season. Supporters were united, together and got behind the team all game. Lowe destroyed that stright away. I can not see it returning with, him, Wilde, and the people propping him up, still at the Club..........

The longer Lowe stays, the more unluckier we seem to get.
