offix Posted 6 December, 2009 Posted 6 December, 2009 (edited) Someone (Fitzhugh Fella?) should write a book. There are plenty " The rise and fall of ....." books, but we should have one describing the reverse: The Fall And Rise of Southampton FC. I don't know about you all, but I would buy such a book.

jawillwill Posted 6 December, 2009 Posted 6 December, 2009 Will there be pictures? Also will there be mention of this forum? If so we should include some of the best posts from people like Wiltshire Saint, Deppo, saint francis and david from sweden.

Bailey Posted 6 December, 2009 Posted 6 December, 2009 Bit early at the minute! If we're back in the top-flight within 5 years, then it'd certainly be a book worth reading!

Perhaps we should wait until we have actually risen ;-)
revolution saint Posted 6 December, 2009 Posted 6 December, 2009 An account of last season whilst grim reading would be interesting. You'd have to get Crouch, Wilde, Lowe, Poortvleit and Wotte on board which is doubtful but you could definitely see something of "The damned united" in a book like that. Can't see the current regime commenting on anything since they've been in charge and that would probably be right and premature.
Badger Posted 6 December, 2009 Posted 6 December, 2009 I think such a suggestion should be put on hold for a while.Certainly we would have to be well above 15th in L1 before talking of our "rise". In principle though it is a good idea.Perhaps an intwerview with Paul Allen would make interesting ,although perhaps short,reading. Don't forget lifelongsaint.... ...or Benthelegend.
maxi_sopez Posted 6 December, 2009 Posted 6 December, 2009 omg benthelegend forgot about him.....where is he now?!
Badger Posted 6 December, 2009 Posted 6 December, 2009 (edited) Someone recently put a link up to new site that he is now sharing his pearls of wisdom with a few days ago. or should that be: Someone Recently Put A Link Up To A New Site That He Is Now Sharing His Pearls Of Wisdom With A Few Days Ago.

Verbal Posted 6 December, 2009 Posted 6 December, 2009 I write books Given the choice of reading one of your books or being imprisoned in an Iranian jail, I'd think about it.
Arizona Posted 6 December, 2009 Posted 6 December, 2009 Or Scooby. Or Dalek. Or HelpMeRhonda. Or Tommac. And the Phone thread from Banter Central.
70's Mike Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 Or Scooby. Or Dalek. Or HelpMeRhonda. Or Tommac. And the Phone thread from Banter Central. and anyone else who has disappeared now the talk is about football not finance

I agree. Already suggested this... It should be called 'Southampton FC, The Low(e) Years'
Glasgow_Saint Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 Given the choice of reading one of your books or being imprisoned in an Iranian jail, I'd think about it. Thank you for your continued support
spyinthesky Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 I agree. Already suggested this... It should be called 'Southampton FC, The Low(e) Years' Inspired title A poorer option might be; 'How the Lowe years made me Wilde'
sadoldgit Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 I do agree that a book should be written about he last few years, but with all due respect to Duncan I think it should be wrtiien by someone from "outside" who could remain objective. I'd love to know the truth about what really went on and not something that was clouded by personal animosity.

Frank's cousin Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 Not sure impartial is possible any more. Most fans just want to read that Lowe was the biggest Tw*t and it was all his fault - anything that attempts to investigate more than that or finds that more than one person is to blame will be seen as a lowe luvvie diatribe and dismissed and slagged on here. Fans simply dont want to listen to anything that is not a pure and simple tale of how Lowe fecked us up good and proper so no need for any book. Even if it contained the pure unadulterated truth, I dont think it would be accepted.

Totally agree not FF as I have said before FF himself has posted on this forum that he feels it would be inappropriate for him to write such a book.
WealdSaint Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 Would like to read such a book. Would also imagine the "Dark Lord Duckhunter's" lawyers would read it very carefully and sue for even the tiniest criticism of him.
saint peach Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 Shotgun! I'll write that, leave it to me guys.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 I agree. Already suggested this... It should be called 'Southampton FC, The Low(e) Years' No it shouldn't.

You cannot sue for criticism, only for falsehoods that lead to deformation of character...
Fowllyd Posted 7 December, 2009 Posted 7 December, 2009 You cannot sue for criticism' date=' only for falsehoods that lead to [b']deformation[/b] of character... I think the word you were after there was 'defamation' - mind you, it reads rather nicely as is!
