SaintDonkey Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Thankyou for making the sacrifice and killing off the Lowe regime. You are the reason that Lowe and Wilde are no longer at the club. You are the reason that we don't have to endure life in League 1 with Lowe and Wilde still at the club. You are the reason that Saints are now on the verge of single ownership, and that the PLC is dead. You are the reason that Saints now have a future and that the feelgood factor is returning. Thankyou for making it happen, you saved SFC. Really feeling that feelgood factor now!

sussexsaint Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 "Make no mistake, we will be buying this football club" Bravo sir
saint_stevo Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 On a brighter note, and to get away from the legals for a moment to try and lighten the mood, I was most amused to be e-mailed a picture of a characature chap kicking a tyre this afternoon by a friend on here. Could I politely ask you to perhaps replace the tyre with a lawyer and a rule book please! Whether the picture was supposed to be a joke or an insult, it did make me laugh, and that’s welcome at the minute to keep spirits high Oh.......
Foxstone Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 "Lets go Wilde " ! Get nightmares thinking of this now...
alpine_saint Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 "Administration will be good" It would have been a week earlier.
sussexsaint Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Now that Harry Redknapp has been appointed , for the first time in ages I actually have hope that we may avoid relegation ..... oh ' Harry and Jims red and white army' Shudder

Guided Missile Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 When Jackson was asked by Meridian TV in April of last year, who was behind his bid for Bournemouth, Jackson responded... "That is something that, really and honestly, will never be answered properly and completely."

bognor regis pete Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 A guy phoned into You're on sky sports back in Dec 2004 and asked if they though Saints would finish in a champ league spot, mind you we were 4th at the time
Arizona Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 A guy phoned into You're on sky sports back in Dec 2004 and asked if they though Saints would finish in a champ league spot, mind you we were 4th at the time Actually we were in the relegation zone. Think you're refering to 2003.
Thedelldays Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 "I would rather be in the CCC that the prem..!" - by many nut jobs on here
Thedelldays Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 "Dodd and Gorman will be great for continuity reasons" - eeeer. "rudi has always been a left back" "we have the best academy in the country" "we will walk this league" "brett will get 20+ in the CCC"
bognor regis pete Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 You're right it was 2003, i cut the league table out and stuck on the notice board it stayed there for a year

Saint Richard of Woolston Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 "Rupert is the only one that can save this club, he is a good businessman" posted many times on this forum! Whilst not blind to his faults, particularly in how he rated his own understanding of football, I would still say that we would not be in the position we are now if Lowe had stayed here uninterrupted. We could well have been in League 1 but certainly NOT in Administration. (Lights blue touch paper, stands back)

We could well have been in League 1 but certainly NOT in Administration. (Lights blue touch paper, stands back) I would say the same thing about Crouch and Pearson!!!! Around..around we go...
Alanh Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Whilst not blind to his faults, particularly in how he rated his own understanding of football, I would still say that we would not be in the position we are now if Lowe had stayed here uninterrupted. We could well have been in League 1 but certainly NOT in Administration. (Lights blue touch paper, stands back) I think you are probably right. I don't think Lowe would have let wage costs get out of control in the summer after the parachute payments finished. Having said that the lack of investment, dwindling crowds and negativity that would have come with himi being in charge would probably have sent us close to admin and relegation anyway.
Mole Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 "Administration will be good" It will eventually be viewed as the best thing that couldv'e happened to us. Without it we'd have continued to die a slow and painful death until Lowe and Wilde. It was inevitable it was going to happen sooner or later so the fact it's now done and almost dusted means it'll soon be out of the way. The downward curve has bottomed out and the ingredients will soon be in place for a spike.
buctootim Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 The downward curve has bottomed out and the ingredients will soon be in place for a spike. Christ I hope not. You do know what shape a spike is? Lets hope for a sustained recovery.

The downward curve has bottomed out and the ingredients will soon be in place for a spike.that is madness at this point in time. Whoever now takes us on will have real problems getting decent players to join us, let alone managers.Going into administration is/has been a disaster for everyone except Begbies Taylor (although they may look fairlty stupid if we do go down the pan) and any of the players sold. Do you believe we will get anywhere soon if the buyer has to rely on buying us at a snip?
RonManager Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Schoolmate to me in April 1968 - "we're all going down the Dell on Saturday to watch the Saints, fancy coming along?"
OldNick Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Schoolmate to me in April 1968 - "we're all going down the Dell on Saturday to watch the Saints, fancy coming along?" I started going in 68 Leeds home evening game.
Katalinic Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 "If we score another one we will go above Wolves" My Dad on November 19th 2005 at approximately 4.30pm and with Southampton leading Leeds 3-0 at SMS. We all know what happened next. Honourable mention also to him for "Don't let Beattie take it, he can't shoot" as he steps up to take a free-kick against Chelsea in last minute at The Dell. It flew into the top corner.
Weston Super Saint Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 that is madness at this point in time.

Please tell me in what situation we would have been able to attract decent players and managers??
OldNick Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 nick, we're in league 1 with a 10 point deduction. Please tell me in what situation we would have been able to attract decent players and managers??exactly and so it is madness to have wanted us to start there by wishing to go into administration.
RonManager Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 I started going in 68 Leeds home evening game. 27.04.68 - Wolves at home 1-1. for some stupid reason I decided to support Wolves. I made a 'WOLVES' placard on cardboard (no merchandising then - DIY) and safety pinned it to my anorak. It rained on the way into Winchester Station and dissolved. By the end of the match I was Saints through and through!
Weston Super Saint Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 exactly and so it is madness to have wanted us to start there by wishing to go into administration. Most people were wishing us to go into admin about Xmas last season, thus avoiding the -10 and starting league 1 with a fair crack at the whip. Sensible people could see that the team / squad / manager were not good enough to keep us up
