Ship of Fools

What the coaching staff see and what we see on the pitch are worlds apart.

Some good touches at Watford and he was lively, but he gave the ball away too many times for our current plight. Hardly world class.

I hope that the administrator is aware that Lowe could well reappear via mates of his -if any of them are among those showing interest in buying the club.

I thought he was pretty effective too. All over the pitch . He seems to be doing Gillet's job and striker as well.

Yes, I brought mine home, eventually. But will post it.

I thought we were all supposed to be united in adversity now. Silly me.

Surely you are not suggesting that we will be banished to League 2?

This was the trouble. Lowe's choices could not put together both reasonably attractive and reasonably effective footie.

Appalling tactical nous and team preparation by Wotte. What was he thinking of?

But let's ensure we end out of the relegation zone so that if any points are deducted they will be this season, not next. COYS

Perhaps her Brazilian links knew someone who knew someone who knew the guy from Southampton who started footie in Brazil....

It is sounding positive, but let's not be carried away and hope for the first buyer. We and the administrator need to check credentials. We don't want to end up back in in the frying pan. Meanwhile, Hey ho -it's off to Saints I go! Just leaving for the M3 now and will be in Bedford Place for pre-match atmosphere by 1pm! COYR! We can do it!

There are two urgent and different needs. One is to keep the club going for the remainder of this season. I will donate a cheque to Crouch's appeal this afternoon, and it won't distract from my pledged amount to the Trust Fund.

Don't be hasty, I know you won't, but I agree with you. I would like to suggest that when a trust fund is set up, monies are not put into Barclays. Somewhere with established ethics like the Co-op Bank, which is a mutual, would be good.

No monies should be sent to any organisation until the administrator has approved its practicality and authenticity imo

I submitted this on another thread, but think it's place is here: 'From replies to the Standard's article: "Last week's deadline doesn't affect the fact of the 10-point penalty for entering administration, only its timing. Assuming that the argument that it's not the football club that is in administration, but its holding company, fails, the difference is that if administration had been entered before last Thursday, the 10-point deduction would have been immediate; having waited until after that date, the deduction is deferred until the end of the season, and if Saints are in the bottom 3 and relegated anyway, the deduction is imposed next season; if Saints manage to avoid the bottom 3, the deduction is imposed this season (which would probably put us back in the bottom 3 and still relegated)." Is that correct? '

Is that correct? If so, and the FL insist on the points deduction we are relegated anyway. BUT we still are playing for the deduction THIS season not next. This is vital.

I have no complaints about 10 points being deducted this season. We have been playing to relegation standard at home games. I do have an issue about them being deducted next season in League 1 though. That will be due to RL ineptitude.

I just hope they don't go out clubbing tonight. Not that they would of course. oh..

Good idea. No Lowe to stop people enjoying themselves in SMS now. Don't tell Charlton though, or else they'll bring their drum, lol.

Perhaps we could relocate to the IOW and become an off-shore company

I Tried It My Way and...

Excellent Robbie. Get this to MLT before tomorrow if poss. He has the Sky platform to do the big sell.
