Saint Billy

Jeeze, what a sham this side is. They don't even seem bothered in playing for pride. Clean out the entire lot of them.

Well this should mean that 30 of the interested parties are no longer interested.

Just because we may possibly have a billionare buying us, it does not mean to say that he/she would plough all their vast wealth into the club and turn us into another Chelsea. As long as it was enough to give us financial stabilty, build a decent team, enable us to watch entertaining football and get back to the prem would be good enough for me. Even to have the last laugh on the skates would fill my cup full of satisfaction.

Agreed, if they do not apply the -10 pt rule other clubs will be up in arms and others will also be using the loophole in the future. If admin was so close as it is now apparent it was, sfc should have gone for the -10pts before the deadline. A masterstroke it was not, another very bad gamble it was.

They also seemed uninterested in selling the paintings etc to benefit sfc. My question is, how do these paintings benefit the ratepayers?

Not true!!! He has admitted he made mistakes.

Why is Richard Bransons name mentioned, surely that is just hopefull gossip, I cannot see him being remotely interested. I know he likes flirting with danger but come on.

Jeeze, can it get any worse. I feel totally deflated. Having had my hopes lifted by hearing that numerous parties are interested in buying saints and then to be served up that performance. What has fecking happened to this club? Beattie and Fuller on the score sheet, great, just make my fecking day why dont you! Hard pressed to find anything positive to say about that shower of sh*te representing sfc. Of all the days they needed to show up was today, but hey, if the club goes into oblivion they can find another club, we feckin can't.

Been crying them for a few years!

Hi Guys and Gals Clenched buttock time!

Not hard though is it!

I wonder if Souness is re-emerging.

To be fair, I noticed a few skate comments on the 606 board saying that although there is a hostility between us, they would not like to see us go out of business. Beating us on the pitch is one thing, never having the opportunity again is another.

In comparison to say Birmingham (if they where up for sale) or Wolves etc, we would surely be a cheaper option. Although shares seem to be suspended, does that mean we cannot be sold? I am sure Derby were in an almost identical position but got sold at the last moment.

Agreed, I just find it hard to believe that there is nobody interested or has been interested in buying us especially now when we are going on the cheap.

I am just hoping some white knight will come in and save us ala Derby. Davies and Frost were mentioned on another thread, how much mileage in that one I dont know, I suspect not as I don't believe so called fans of the club would leave it till this late in the day to make a move. But here's hoping in the old silver lining scenario.

Ah but he would not be a localised legend if he had left saints and saints would now be in the conference. Plus, he would have never been a world great (although he deserved to be) as the managers were never prepared to let him free roam on the pitch as proven by several England managers at the time.

Totally out of order!

What a pile of dung

Aamazing and typical of saints, they give us 3 games when they looked like they have actually turned the corner and now it seems that they are back at square one. Oh for a season where we did'nt have to fear the drop, not asking too much is it!

Well done the lads, perhaps Wotte has got what it takes. Fingers crossed that we carry this on and escape the dreaded drop.

Wha hoooo, tits missed the swear filter!!! Tits, tits, titties, tits, tits!!!!!!! Ah thats better.

And I stand by what I said. Look, maybe some of you can stomach Lowe riding back into this club on a white horse blaming everyone else for its situation, putting people in charge of team affairs who are blatantly not up for the job. Basically he is just continuing where he left off by making outrageous clangers and the club is suffering for it. What I would like is for him and Wilde to just give in now and take a back seat and stop meddling with the club, along with the no hopes he has got running the team. Perhaps we might have seen a change of fortune and a new born hope for survival and a more united fanbase willing to support to the death. But it is clear that they are both determined to carry on. So as it is, relegation is almost a certainty and administration is a realistic fear, they are both horrible prospects, and the only grain of positive I can take from that outcome is that at least the names Lowe and Wilde will not be linked to sfc. They have got us to this stage, not you or I, and they are not worthy of your support, and the sooner they understand that message, the better for all of us.

The only thing I am looking for is the day that Lowe and Wildes names are not associated with this club. Up and till that day I will rely on my memories of when this club was truly Southampton FC, when it was a united and proud club, when on its day it could beat the best, when I could look up at the directors box and respect the people in it. Until then, this club does not deserve our time,money or support. If it means that the only way this will happen is by relegation and admin then so be it.

How in gods name can anyone not be negative on here at the moment. Who wants to discuss the vague chance of signing some unknown kid on loan at right back or discuss the latest meaningless tripe spouted by a coach who would'nt have even made it as a scout 4 years ago. There is no positive news, no real signs of anyone doing anything to help the club, and it only makes sense that this forum suffers because of it as well. I hope that if, and it's a big if, the clubs fortunes change, the mood on here will as well.
