Block 5 Posted 4 July, 2009 Share Posted 4 July, 2009 I have heard rumours that Lowe is involved in one of the bids.

SaintRobbie Posted 4 July, 2009 Share Posted 4 July, 2009 Hopefully we get takenover next week by a decent consortium. Bournemouth away next week would be a nightmare if we got someone who is a complete joke or no takeover at all.... Agreed. I think its time to put Fry under pressure if he doesnt deliver soon. We no longer have the luxury of time if we want to appoint a decent manager, assess the team and buy and sell in order to make a challenge for a play off place. Leave this takeover any longer with everything else in place and I think we're in another relegation battle next season. Come on Fry... deliver.

You ARE entitled to your opinion ........ I do not share it. Simples As a relatively detached observer of the long running battles between some of the 'personalities' in the various 'camps' on this message board (and it's previous incarnations), I don't usually get involved in such 'wars of words'. I'm not in a 'camp', personally. I believe that all who've been in 'power' at our Club over the last 10 years or so have to take responsibility for their parts in the demise of this great Club. They've all made mistakes, and all carry a share of the blame for where we find ourselves today. Thing is though SaintRichmond, you don't do yourself any favours in the manner in which you present yourself here. As you rightly state above, all are entitled to their opinions, and all are entitled to disagree with them. On this issue of Rupert Lowe however, whether or not you intend to do so, you consistently present your opinion that he "WILL" return, "make no mistake" etc, as though it were irrefutable fact, and it is this, that seems to me to really get people's backs up and invites the criticism that you seem to receive rather frequently here. Perhaps if you were able to tone down the manner in which you present your personal opinions as though they were nailed down facts, you may find that people are more inclined to treat you with greater respect, and listen to what you have to say?

Can you spell "obsession"?? Lowe is history, as far as SFC is concerned. Part of that history was good (SMS, Cup Final), part obviously not so good (relegation, administration, relegation). But it's done with, and you're crazy to think he'll be back. Of the whole crowd of folk associated with the debacle that is Saints' history of the past 5 years, the only one who seems at all likely to play a future role at the club is Crouch, and with all due respect to him as a fan who has been willing to put his hand in his pocket for the club, I'd rather see a totally new broom. No Lowe, Crouch, Wilde, Askham, Cowen, Richards, Jones (the finance director): in short nobody who has held a position of responsibility at the club over the past 5 or 6 years, and I think that's what'll happen. At most I coulsd see Crouch and Jones hanging on in some capacity, but Lowe?? Not in a million years. For what it's worth, I hope we don't get any re-tread manager either, not even if it's WGS. Second time around rarely works well, in my view; let's leave the past, the past. A fresh new SFC under new ownership, directorship, management. That's my desire, and what I see coming out of this process if indeed Saints do get taken over and so survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Nelson Posted 4 July, 2009 Share Posted 4 July, 2009 Arguably, we were also stuffed the minute that we jettisoned Pearson and appointed JP and Wotte in his place. All is conjecture about what might have been, but what actually happened is a fact. The one bright side is that Lowe, Askham and others from the old board have lost all of their share value and therefore have no further influence or power over our future. It remains to be seen whether we will be taken over by people with serious money to invest in us, but if that comes to pass, then that is a further massive plus, as it will be the first time that we will have owners with serious money. The end that got us here, might yet well justify the means. If you sit down and divide the points gained with the amount of games played for Pearson and Wotte (and then remember that Wotte had a team full of kids) you will be surprised to find that Wotte's record is the better one. It might be surprising, him being foreign and all that, but it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
