THAT is absolutely f-ing SHOCKING! Especially when Saga is on the bench. McGoaldrought NEVER gets dropped - WHY?!?!?!?

Err, how about 5 minutes from half-time?

Absolutely spot on the money. And I can independently vouch for the fact that Leon has made his money through wise investment in his companies infrastructure. And the manner in which he has directed this has been primarily to satisfy his customers expectations and then some. For an engineering company, the operation can be considered top class and there is a low turnover of staff. You don't get that if you're a poor businessman. Pity he didn't get the chance to deploy some of that skill over a decent period of time at SMS.

Now I do not know this for sure, but what if Lowe and Wilde were drawing a salary for their position and 'services' to the PLC? It would not surprise me in the slightest, even if viewed from a neutral perspective. If they could maintain their power base all the while drawing a salary, eventually they will effectively recoup their investment in share value. They can do this whatever league we're in and they even do this at a distance and with little personal time spent in attendance at the club - you know, like going away on holiday, propping up Jersey business etc. etc. Lastly, why on earth would Crouch (or anyone else for that matter) invest any money in SFC when it would not result in the departure of Lowe and Wilde themselves? For Lowe and Wilde to suggest such a thing demonstrates their clear devotion to their wallets rather than the saving of SFC IMO.

Sounds a bit like a Bill Bailey sketch song... "Alien Goats in a Goat State"... I'll get me goat...ahem, I mean coat.... >>>>

I wouldn't mind having his legs - at nearly 50 years old, mine are well past running a pitch for 90mins! There was a link to Wiki from the photo though.

Wonderful if true and I would like Leon to have some involvement too, but I am very very skeptical...:cool:

Now where has that come from? I think there's as much chance of money coming from Holland over here as there is me taking home Kate Winslet for a 'chat'! Nice try.

It's all a massive mistake by Lowe. He could have used his last trump card - Dowie - but he has once again failed miserably to deal with the situation properly. I am now looking forward to administration - it will be more exciting than the football now to see Lowe and Wilde turfed out on their @rses with no shares between them. Keep on rollin'.

On the face of it, Lowe has once again made a fantastically poor choice when he had a chance to really get it right. Like Leon got it right in the nick of time with Pearson's appointment. This decision though will see us into League One and possible administration IMO. :mad: UNLESS! Perhaps - just perhaps - Lowe is appointing Wotte as Head Coach and then appointing a proper Manager with some experience like Pardew or Dowie. Now that would make some sense, but I am not holding my breath on that one. :cool:

Ah the one that's 6ft 6" tall? :smt037

Given that JP HAD to go, Wotte is the answer to the question. However, Wotte is NOT the answer to SFC's plight. It's another cheap option that will end up going horribly wrong IMO. This seals our relegation...thanks Lowe and Wilde you tw&ts.

Can see where you're coming from, but IMO I take them with a pinch of salt frankly. I have no reason to believe or disbelieve - so I just take the info as being possible and leave it at that. If I have any reason to doubt it, I will say so or just not comment atall. Makes for less strife.

Wotte's Going On? :smt034 They could play the Marvin Gaye tune over the tannoy! That would be hilarious. :smt005

I do hope that comment is made entirely in jest and not with any form of ITK-ness! :smt037

Why does that hurt you? These guys have something to offer a forum, whereas those that criticise them for their posts do little to move the debate along. It matters not a jot whether you believe or not...if you don't, why not just say so and be done?

Wonder who this new striker is - could it be Arturo Lupoli as previously suggested on the rumour mill? Anyone got any info - it seemed well reported and almost a done deal? Frankly, I am preparing myself to be underwhelmed (as usual with SFC).

I think Wilde was the face regarding JP's 'resignation' because (a) Lowe wanted to distance himself from another failed appointment and (b) Wilde is supposedly the football club Chairman and as such JP would report to him? Whichever way you cut-it, I think the action Duncan discusses for next week has happened already - i.e. Wotte's appointment as Head Coach. I don't think we have any reason to get excited. :mad:

Sop for the fans - simple. :cool:

Is this good news? Does he have his badges? Is this just some kind of sop for the fans to keep the protesters away from Rupes door? Is it another unfounded rumour? I think the latter two questions are the those with an affirmative answer. IMHO. PS: Hoorah! I have taken the plunge and wasted £5 to become a full member - this is my 1st post. This is in readiness for next season when I will not renew my ST and become an armchair supporter like many others on here. (-;

Jan, I knew from the start it wouldn't work out for you. You did your best and it was woefully short of the mark. You failed in Holland and you've failed here, so I suggest you open a bar or something in Amsterdam, but just keep away from footie coaching. Anyway, I don't blame you - I blame your employer Lowe, who somehow has not learnt anything about appointing and keeping football managers despite 10 or 11 previous failed attempts.

Wilde said that another striker was arriving. Perhaps Crouch offered to pay for the striker (Arturo L?) with the proviso JP was shown the door if he did? Lowe agreed but forgot to mention Wotte had been lined up for the job...

He's rubbish - forget him...

No - JP does not HAVE to be sacked - not if you want the club to carry on its current sure fire course to relegation and then possible administration. Look first things first - sort out the team (who are good players being taught bad habits) with a proper inspired manager (Dowie) who has a Saints affinity (Dowie). Then concentrate on getting rid of Lowe and Wilde. The other option is leave alone and utilise JP to put Saints into admin via relegation, thus ridding the club of Lowe and Wilde. The club might be closed down completely, but I do not think that will ultimately happen.
