Wilde statement

[Mole]

**** off Wilde.

[Fitzhugh Fella]

I put this on another thread about Wilde but here goes here

 

Robbie - I don't think ther eis much chance of him ever being a hero.

I heard some interesting stuff yesterday from someone who "knows" Wilde very well and was on the inside when he was Chairman.

 

Firstly there was that club phtotographer who was sacked after the away match at Sunderland. He and Wilde were in the hotel bar drinking well into the small hours and Wilde asked him if he liked working for SFC. He said he did but the recent arrival of Andy Oldknow had made life a bit unpleasant for the employees. Wilde said leave it to me I will sort it. On the Monday Wilde went into Hone's office to say that Oldknow was upsetting the staff. Hone basically told Wilde to get on his bike, called the young lad in and sacked him saying if he dared take it to tribunal "the whole might and legal power of Southampton FC would come down on him". Wilde never uttered another word of protest about the matter.

 

When Wilde resigned I was convinced that the execs "had something on him" and my source is equally convinced. As we know Wilde allegedly liked a bit of a salacious night out and once took the players to a Bournemouth strip club. Some of the younger players couldn't get in so he rounded them all up and took them to another similar club in Portsmouth. Hone often boasted that he knew everything Wilde was up to, how much he was drinking and who he was with wherever in the World he was. On the day before Wilde resigned he was acting normally, full of confidence and bravado and yet 24 hours later, when his resignation was announced he was virtually a broken man. My source saw Wilde 5 minutes after the announcement and Wilde was a completely changed character saying things "well I needed more time at home etc etc". This made my source very suspicious especially as he was rarely at the club and often missed board meetings and the like.

 

There is no doubt there is more to Wilde than meets the eye but one thing is for certain he has no back bone and cannot be trusted. As kingmaker he holds the future of our club in his hands and he must be made, by hook or by crook, to concede power to people who will look after this club in a proper fashion.

And now you are repeating it..:smt104

 

What's with this sudden rush of blood, my friend ?

[lordswoodsaints]

this bit really fvcks me off..

 

'professional sport is all about results,and we all sink or swim by reference to the scoreboard'

 

'we ALL sink and swim by the scoreboard' so why havnt they all fvcked off then?

[Mole]

I notice how slithery Mike makes no mention of the financial mess he inherited.

[saintjay77]

Please don't be a dickhead,and try to cross the divide between these two sports.

 

Only Rupert is allowed to do that.

 

I cant say I have *****ed (pr1cked) my finger but I can say someone is a dickhead?

 

hmmmm the language filter is a funny bugger. lol

and he didnt even correct the spelling mistakes!!!! its an outrage I tell thee!!!!

[SaintRobbie]

I don't give a flying f@ck if he holds some cards, all the cards, pocket Aces or anything else. The man is a TRAITOR, can not be trusted, and CAN NEVER BE REDEEMED!

 

By "playing his cards" to bring back Ru**rt, out of pure spite against Crouch and with willful disregard of the club's best interest, and subsequently bending over every time Ru**rt wants him to, he has given up all rights to forgiveness from any true Saints fan.

 

Fair one offix, I think he'll never be forgiven now either. But, he is the only man who CAN remove Lowe.

 

Think we'll ever see him at SMS again?

[JustMike]

It says we're getting Arturo Lupoli, I mean trying to get a striker.

 

haha yes it does, i read between the lines too ;-)

Bloody hell.

[egreog]

Rarely in the catalogue of Chairman statements can such as load of drivel been printed!!

 

To say that "continuity" is the best option at present is simply incredulous........unbelievably weak.

 

Why not tell the TRUTH ?? .........and admit there is nobody that wants to join the present shambles........and even if there was no money is available to pay for them.......if the Chairman calls this continuity, then he will get it........continuity of anger, discontent and generally disillusioned supporters who get even more amazed at the general incompetent way the club is run!!

A Well written Post Duncan

 

I have long thought that wilde was a spindless slimy creature from the day I first met him. I think he is the biggest problem at the club and the sooner he resigns the better. I had heard similar stories to what you refer to Duncan.

 

Is he still best of Pals with LM? or did they fall out as well?

[qwertySFC]

 

There is no crisis here , the Dutch experiment will continue , Jan was home sick and was not sacked , we will have Promotion in our time

Top man, I wish Wilde had never bought a single share in our one-proud club.
