Mole Posted 27 October, 2008 Posted 27 October, 2008 Mike has achieved so many thing during his time at Southampton but for me the inspired appointments of Jim Hone, Ken Dulieu, Andy Oldknow and Lee Hoos have to be Wildes finest hour.
cambsaint Posted 27 October, 2008 Posted 27 October, 2008 Disagree; his ultimate gift to the supporters must have been to split the fan base completely asunder by siding with Lowe. Those appointments were bad but they could be reversed; getting rid of Lowe is going to be much more difficult. Cambsaint
John B Posted 27 October, 2008 Posted 27 October, 2008 I think Mr Wilde has caused SFC a lot of grief a lot more than Mr Lowe Mr Lowe only got us relegated. Mr Wilde could lead us to relegation and administration
Weston Super Saint Posted 27 October, 2008 Posted 27 October, 2008 Man you lot are f::cking dull... Hi Mike
The Godfather Posted 27 October, 2008 Posted 27 October, 2008 His biggest achievement is being a traitor and a ass.
Scudamore Posted 27 October, 2008 Posted 27 October, 2008 Hi Mike Mike wishes he were me... I wish i had his money... If i were him i would probably have kept my hand in my pocket a few years ago though... Because despite his best intentions (and perhaps visions of riding in and being the hero) this has all gone a little t:ts up now hasn't it? I hear people saying he's not a really a fan...that i think is a little harsh...why the hell else spend his own money on shares in a failing business if not a fan? Cue conspiracy theories from the freaks ...
Scudamore Posted 27 October, 2008 Posted 27 October, 2008 His biggest achievement is being a traitor and a ass. An ass. He's an ass...

Cue conspiracy theories from the freaks ... To be fair it's a reasonably well known fact he's a Liverpool fan. I guess his motivation was to buy low, sell high and make a few quid in the process :smt102
offix Posted 27 October, 2008 Posted 27 October, 2008 I am beginning to see very little difference between Ru**rt and the Quisling; One got us relegated with gross mismanagement, and the other, after stone faced lying to the fan base, brought that failure of a chairman back, only to effectively preside together over yet another relegation, and eventually the death of our club. Shame on them both.
fos1 Posted 27 October, 2008 Posted 27 October, 2008 How about the 2 million he promised to invest, he went to the the bank to borrow the money against one of his off shore companies, the bank refused as he was up to his maximum lending ! One of many false promises that Wilde made, no wonder the excs sacked him !!!!

Scudamore Posted 27 October, 2008 Posted 27 October, 2008 Well he probably borrowed the money from that well known arms dealer down the end of the M27 East Yeah...probably...
VectisSaint Posted 27 October, 2008 Posted 27 October, 2008 Mike has achieved so many thing during his time at Southampton but for me the inspired appointments of Jim Hone, Ken Dulieu, Andy Oldknow and Lee Hoos have to be Wildes finest hour. I wouldn't include Hoos in that lot. I know Wilde appointed him, but I for one wish we had Lee back now. Hoos and Cowan with Crouch's backing would in my mind represent a far brighter prospect than Lowe and Lap Dog. Hoos is at least still gainfully employed as a football club director, whereas to the best of my knowledge Hone and Duieu have crawled back into the holes from whence they came.

Weston Super Saint Posted 27 October, 2008 Posted 27 October, 2008 Is his biggest achievement the 'go wilde' T shirts?
Long Shot Posted 27 October, 2008 Posted 27 October, 2008 Walked past his Merlion Homes office in Winchester this morning. The milk was still on the doorstep and it was nearly midday. As he hasn't listed company accounts since 2006 perhaps he has done a runner.

rocknrollman no2 Posted 27 October, 2008 Posted 27 October, 2008 The only thing Wilde will have achieved at Saints is to be the second most hated man at St Marys.
saintwarwick Posted 27 October, 2008 Posted 27 October, 2008 Walked past his Merlion Homes office in Winchester this morning. The milk was still on the doorstep and it was nearly midday. As he hasn't listed company accounts since 2006 perhaps he has done a runner. Must of been a big doorstep to have two years of milk left.
WealdSaint Posted 27 October, 2008 Posted 27 October, 2008 I suspect that many Pompey fans would agree that his bigest achievement is to F**k saints up several times over.
saintwarwick Posted 27 October, 2008 Posted 27 October, 2008 I am beginning to see very little difference between Ru**rt and the Quisling; One got us relegated with gross mismanagement, and the other, after stone faced lying to the fan base, brought that failure of a chairman back, only to effectively preside together over yet another relegation, and eventually the death of our club. Shame on them both. How is the possibility of relegation the death of our club? We shall continue with other clubs in a lower league, that is not death but continuence of football in a lower league. Not ideal but we are not their yet.

We shall continue with other clubs in a lower league, that is not death but continuence of football in a lower league. Not ideal but we are not their yet. This idea that we will be able to fulfill a single season of fixtures in Division 3 without going into administration and possible liquidation really is amongst the most hillarious deluded bollllocks that gets posted on this site.....
ianthesaint Posted 27 October, 2008 Posted 27 October, 2008 Because im not a full member i cant post a thread was the saints away leg in bucahrest live on tv in 2003?
alpine_saint Posted 27 October, 2008 Posted 27 October, 2008 Because im not a full member i cant post a thread was the saints away leg in bucahrest live on tv in 2003? I was somewhat dumbfounded to discover that the home leg was covered live by Austrian TV.
Ponty Posted 27 October, 2008 Posted 27 October, 2008 Because im not a full member i cant post a thread was the saints away leg in bucahrest live on tv in 2003? Yes, Eurosport had the rights to our whole European campaign that season. lol
um pahars Posted 28 October, 2008 Posted 28 October, 2008 Yes, Eurosport had the rights to our whole European campaign that season. lol Are you sure??? I only thought it was the home leg for some reason.
Mole Posted 28 October, 2008 Author Posted 28 October, 2008 Yes, Eurosport had the rights to our whole European campaign that season. lol The second leg wasn't on TV. I know this because i listened to it on the radio and would have watched it if it was on TV.
SOTONS EAST SIDE Posted 28 October, 2008 Posted 28 October, 2008 Wildes biggest acheivement is to hide from the tax man on jersey.Other than that the blokes a complete non-entity!
ianthesaint Posted 28 October, 2008 Posted 28 October, 2008 Yes, Eurosport had the rights to our whole European campaign that season. lol Has anyone got evidence on this i have a bet with my mate
St Marco Posted 28 October, 2008 Posted 28 October, 2008 Whatever happened to that Wilde fella? Last time i think i heard from him he was talking about how great were going to do this season and that our goal is promotion this year because that is "realistic". Think he might be on that Nasa space station!

It took some finding, but this may shed some light on things. Originally Posted by Saint Marc FWIW I heard that Wilde resigned because there was too much media and fan pressure focusing on the investment issue and that this was putting the whole Board under pressure. He resigned to take the heat off the club and its executives and allow them to get on with the job while he carried on working on the investment issue in the background and out of the spotlight. The statement that he resigned because of a failure to raise finance was only issued to try and reduce fans unrealistic expectations. IMO, it was through Wilde's efforts, that PA was clearly aware that his approach would be welcomed rather than shunned and this is a big factor when looking at a potential acquisition. We now know that PA had contact with the club several months ago, before MW's resignation. IMO it is down to Wilde that we now have this opportunity to stabilise and secure the long term future of the club. If this takeover goes through I think we all owe him bigtime.

Was this the chairman of our football club singing his own praises and bigging himself up !!!! How very sad he is, nothing to do with your false promises then !!! 2million !
