ottery st mary Posted 29 January, 2009 Share Posted 29 January, 2009 Given the detective track record on here, I assume the police are aware that posting a photo-fit of the suspect will result in a positive ID and conviction within hours? Mind you there are top experts on here and we could see a few big names (Like Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse etc) having their faces super imposed (is that the right wording) and that could mislead the police for some considerable time or not.

Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 29 January, 2009 Share Posted 29 January, 2009 This is all too much of a coincidence to me.

hypochondriac Posted 29 January, 2009 Share Posted 29 January, 2009 The chilling message was sent anonymously via email to a newspaper in Jersey, where 56-year-old Mr Wilde has a home with his family. It is believed to have warned Mr Wilde he would be killed if he continued to turn up at Saints matches. On the same day, a granite block was hurled through the window of the house which he has lived in since moving to the island in 2005. The inquiry is being run by Southampton’s Football Intelligence Unit after officers in Jersey passed it on. It is understood the email has been traced to a property in Southampton and investigations are now focused there. The threat to kill football board chairman Mr Wilde, who also has a mansion in the New Forest, is the latest in a line of criminal incidents in which he has been targeted. They come after the businessman returned to the helm of Southampton Football Club to share power with Rupert Lowe last summer. The first happened in May 2008 when glue was put in the locks of his company’s office in Winchester. Staff were unable to get in or out of the building and a note was left at the scene that read ‘Wilde out’. The second happened in the early hours of October 19, the day after Saints’ 3-0 home defeat to Watford – a game in which Saints missed two penalties. Mr Wilde’s home in the New Forest was then targeted by vandals, who reversed a 4x4 vehicle into the gates of the house, smashing them open, before driving off.

Mole Posted 29 January, 2009 Share Posted 29 January, 2009 Really? Exactly. I'd be highly surprised if someone went to the extreme effort and expense of flying to Jersey to lob a rock through his window. I'd say it's more likely he has enemies on the island or it's just a random attack by teenagers. The 4x4 incident sounds more like an abandoned burglary. The glueing of the locks appears to be SFC related if a note was left though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Mockles Posted 29 January, 2009 Share Posted 29 January, 2009 I find it hilarious that Wilde is making such a big deal about the inevitable aftermath of his treacherous neglect of Saints (dont condone it but what must he & Lowe expect - holidaying while the club crumbles?!) while Crouch shareholders were regularly receiving death threats while bully boy Hone was in charge! You didn't see them kicking up a stink as they probably realised they were hollow threats, futile, they had more guts & probably didn't have to endure a huge rally, protesting against their sheer incompetency!

Scudamore Posted 29 January, 2009 Share Posted 29 January, 2009 Only if you provide the satsuma and the stockings. This comment just sums up the protesters (or as I call them attention-seeking whingers) as far as I am concerned. Here we go again. One stupid, idiotic remark which could very well have been said tongue in cheek and someone slags the rest of us off. You obviously don't care that our club is nose diving in an ever increasing haste. Look out salisbury we are soon going to be playing you on a more regular base. ( hopefully just a jest) I do not condone violence but you think everyone going to protest is a moronic drink or drug fuelled yob. What about my 5 yo boy is he tarnished with the same brush? Wake up or shut up. Too many times if someone says something different we have to have a squabble on here. Done within certain boundaries this can be highly entertaining. As far as I am concerned I am going to the march to tell anyone who wants to listen how I feel about my club. I certainly won't be at the front of the column and I fervently pray this march goes ahead without trouble. I for one want Askham, Wilde and Lowe to get out and sell up. We don't expect this march to achieve much more than alert others to our aims. This in itself could solidify our position simply because we have been noticed thereby increasing our numbers for whatever we do next. None of us knows where this will take us but some of us have grown tired of empty promises and falling standards. We hope to gather support where we can. A few names from the recent past have spoken about the club's plight but we sit and watch doing nothing do we? Not anymore. In house squabbling is not going to help our cause or yours. That is of course, if you would still like to see our team win a game now and then. And as for the threat made by Ponty well that is so childish it is beyond comprehension. Making such a ridiculous post leaves him wide open for lots of nasty comments if it were intended as a threat. Personally I would simply have asked for it's removal. Not have risen to the bait.

Saint 76er Posted 29 January, 2009 Share Posted 29 January, 2009 This all soooooo sounds like spin doctoring by Lowe's infamous PR crew, to try and discredit fans in the lead up to the protest march. I mean it's a helluva coincidence that this all crops up two days before the big event. Lowe and Wilde's track record of treating fans with utter contempt makes it hard to believe anything either say. Obviously death threats (if real) are a very serious matter and I personally wish no harm on Wilde...... but I suspect the proverbial "knife in the back" may turn out to be a more realistic problem for the aforementioned, but rarely seen, chairman of our beloved football club. BTW good luck to all the marchers. Be loud and proud (oh hell that sounds like a gay parade... well you all know what I meant!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guided Missile Posted 29 January, 2009 Share Posted 29 January, 2009 I think Wilde should have read Alan Sugar's biography, particularly this part: "In 1991, Sugar along with Terry Venables bought Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. Sugar's relationship with Venables turned acrimonous and court battle ensures. Alan Sugar stated that his time spent at Spurs was a "waste of my life". In 2001, after several death threats towards him and his family, Sugar sold most of his shares to ENIC Sports Ltd, represented by Daniel Levy - effectively the current chairman of the club." It was all bound to end in tears. The nature of football, I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
