Big Ron fan Posted 30 December, 2008 Share Posted 30 December, 2008 You will lead us onto better things, stay here, keep your head up and keep up the hard work. Justification will be the ability to say "I told you so" at the pre match conference of our first premier league game. Cheers s_s I'll have some of what you're on please!

You wanted all the accolades for the stadium & cup final & none of the responsibility for relegation. Your shares were purchased from income derived from relegating Southampton Football Club.

Alain Perrin Posted 30 December, 2008 Share Posted 30 December, 2008 Thanks for trying. There will always be people who find fault in what you are trying to do. My advice is keep your head down and steady the ship as best possible. Make the hard decisions and try to balance getting the books straight and staying in the Championship. Don't cut the cloth too tight. Alternatively leave and let the club sink without a viable alternative (ps. they'll still blame you for that too - basically you're ****ed either way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not fishing. In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king - and I don't see a viable alternative to Rupert Lowe. Whoever runs Saints has a difficult job to do. For example, we could retain Rasiak / John et al., play 442 and stay up by 9 points (remember, they were here last year) - then go into Administration and get relegated through a points deduction. We aren't relegated yet, we're not even close, there are 20 games to go. I hope we survive both on the pitch and off the pitch, and I think Lowe leaving makes both LESS likely. Doubtless it will be close though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good reasoned reply, I am more then willing to stand up and admit I got it Wrong about Lowes methods, If we do by some miracle stay up but i just don't see it happening.

alpine_saint Posted 30 December, 2008 Share Posted 30 December, 2008 If we do stay up I can't see many people admitting they were wrong about Lowes appointment and financial skills to be honest Correct. Because his lack of interest in actually building an ambitious, successful team will kill us next season if not this one. I'd still want him gone. And what possible motivation is there for ST holders to renew if we scrape home after 46 games that have averaged out as shiite performances ?

We may survive this season (I dont think so and it is looking increasingly unlikely), but even if we do, is that enough ? We have no chance of moving on from CCC survival struggles under a board unwilling to put their money in and incapable of attracting the money of others. We will back at square one over the summer. Do we have no ambition ? If the club has no ambition, it is no more than a social club for certain fans, and it might as well be dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we have no ambition ? If the club has no ambition, it is no more than a social club for certain fans, and it might as well be dead. The two things are mutually exclusive though, only after survival can come the ambition. It is in Lowe's interest for Saints to do well (ego, financially, "I told you so" etc.) and he stands to gain most by getting us back to the Premiership. I have absolutely no problem with us getting rid of Lowe, but it needs to be done with a strategy and an alternative, not because he's not liked. My personal opinion is that the survival strategy is the only game in town at the moment and that getting rid of Lowe/JP now (at this stage in a crucial season) would hinder rather than help that. What no one knows (because there is so much spin/counter spin) is how ambitious Lowe is being in cutting the cloth? Say, for example, if he is aiming to break even in 1 year, rather than 3 years - if so, is he taking more risks with player quality etc. than we need to? Either way it is going to be a long hard season but I've seen promise in some of the performances this season, hopefully enough to enable us to stay up.

St Landrew Posted 31 December, 2008 Share Posted 31 December, 2008 My message was on 5live http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00g48tv/606_28 _12_2008/. listen at 53mins 26secs Glad I heard that. Although we don't get talked about on the national media anywhere near as much as in the good old days [just 5 years ago], at least pundits and commentators like Alan Green are aware of where we've been, and where we are most certainly going. It may not cut much ice with a scouser, like Green, but he is infinitely more aware how much a club's success, or lack of it, means to a supporter, than RL. And that's something, at least.
