INFLUENCED.COM Posted 4 February, 2009 Share Posted 4 February, 2009 First ive ever heard Dennis on the radio, poor very, very poor, he sounds like a right plank, "Barclays will be saying oh my god" embarrasing, he should stick to being Paul Macs Joey. Mary had licence to speak at will with little or no recourse, to refer to Trant and investment in the same sentance ? deluded imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Landrew Posted 4 February, 2009 Share Posted 4 February, 2009 John Misselbrook I presume Apparently the text message, sent into the show, was full of expletives. I would imagine the message originated much closer to home. BTW, Leon Crouch has appeared on this show before, just a month or so ago. Radio Hampshire do ask members of the present Board in for interview, just to get the picture from inside. But they keep refusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly know how you feel as I was down with a sh!tbag of an illness from Xmas Day to Jan 5th. The contagious nature of the bad feeling on this forum is, IMO, understandable. I'm sure the next matches can't come quick enough for the fans so that they can both support the team and protest against the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Landrew Posted 4 February, 2009 Share Posted 4 February, 2009 Clarified a few things. Such as ? For example, Pearson's sacking due to finance.

ottery st mary Posted 4 February, 2009 Share Posted 4 February, 2009 Mary Corbett is a Real Director and a Real Saints fan and a decent person.

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 4 February, 2009 Share Posted 4 February, 2009 She also gave Dave Jones a bad time saying he was weak. understatement of the year, Jan.

INFLUENCED.COM Posted 4 February, 2009 Share Posted 4 February, 2009 Has waited for months for Fulthorpe & Cousins to bring forward their investment, she believes they still have something ? Has spoken to many in the city who say they will not invest while Lowe at the helm ? Leon & Patrick have tried to find investment ? Lowe has Svengali like hold over his cabal ? Jones should have halted the execs overspend ? Accept she is a fan, no question...also as posted earlier we should never forget what her family contributed to the club..but I just don't think she is in a position to offer an objective view.

St. Jason Posted 4 February, 2009 Share Posted 4 February, 2009 The thing I found most interesting Was Mrs. Corbett exposing Lowe's excuse for not signing Pearson was because we couldn't afford it. She revealed that Pearson had signed a contract worth £100k a year less than the contract that lowe had given Burley! It never added up that JP, Wotte, Gore & Walls could be on less than Pearson!

Nineteen Canteen Posted 5 February, 2009 Share Posted 5 February, 2009 has it finished? Who knows but Mary is. All hindsight is 20/20 and Corbett, Crouch and Trant have it in abundance and a pity they didn't take their roles at the club with a little less myopic foresight. The 3 wise monkeys who are simply out to curry favour but have a plan as fanciful as those of the protesters on Saturday. Is Mary going to lead the whip round? If so expect her to be knocking at your neighbours door asking them to persuade you to make a contribution. It's bad enough listening to Crouch's wounded 'I could have' soldier act so I can't listen to the feed St Andrew has provided but I'm guessing she wasn't exactly subjected to a challenging line of questioning by Dumb and Dumber. Question's like, why speak out now Mary? What did you do with your status whilst at the club Mary? What do you understand by the term due diligence Mary? Mary Corbett is a fan, Leon Crouch is a fan but they have as much right or expertise to run this club than many of the fans on this forum. Crouch's offer of £2m in football terms amounts to no more than the average fan ofering £200 and about as useful and frankly is just an empty and puerile gesture as this club want fail on the lack of £2m or £6m at its disposal but more with its long term outlook and supporter loyalty that is based in the real world. In fact apart from her name being synonymous with the club's history courtesy of her father that does not necessarily bestow the qualities needed to get us out of the mire. IMO her apparent failure in her previous duties makes her an irrelevance to comment on anything related to the club unless we can probe about her part in this sorry mess. All this backbiting and protest it is all so counterproductive because ultimately the unwitting are either providing a platform for individuals petty and personal agendas, Duncan, or actually aideing and abetting the downfall of their own club. Thankfully there is still a lot of middle ground supporters out there, other than 401 full members on this site, who simply want to support the team and willing to back Lowe until an obviously better alternative comes forward. Even on a thread in the lounge today one supporter actually said he still believes the board and the team will meet our survival goal this season but didn't post on the main sight for fear of the abuse. How sad is that? Bullying your own fans for having a different view than your own. The good news is I believe fans like that still far outweigh those intent on protest without any plan beyond get Lowe out. Keep it up because the lack of acknowledgement you are getting from the club shows IMO how resolved they are to focus on turning this around even if it means dropping into League 1 for a season. Not a very savoury prospect but alot more wholesome than the known alternatives. Don't underestimate the resolve this board has and I fully expect it to get worse before it gets better but with the likes of Crouch and Corbett it will simply be a case of ignoring the iceberg and lots of fan friendly rhetoroic. I'm still just a very busy fan and for the record again I am not Lowe, Marland or work in the PR industry. I'm just a realist willing to put up with the abuse in the interest of balance and democracy. Interesting that the person nearest in nailing me so to speak is a fellow realist and certainly not one of the rabid serial abusers in the Lowe out camp who are in danger of proving the existence of the Lunatic Fringe with their idiotic theories on me. Most of you seriously need to focus on the points I raise as oppose to theorising about my identity but perhaps you do that to avoid looking at the reality. I'm just a fan and a ST holder and just as likely to sit next to you as anyone else. In fact I know I do and I listen to his clueless woes with a keen interest letting him set in concrete my own opinions. Yet still we get on and enjoy the games together but if I told him that Lowe is the best man at the moment I would ruin that comaradie and its largely down to pure prejudice in many cases. Before I go, there was some confusion over my post last night when I said I don't give a sh1t. As usual this was taken out of context and I was not for one minute refering to the club but to those who are stupid enough to support the so called marching out protest. Do your thing the team and the truly faithful of us will cope without you the best we can.

Wes Tender Posted 5 February, 2009 Share Posted 5 February, 2009 Mary will be discussing Nuclear Medicine, Astro Physics and Applied Mathematics, all of which she knows as much about as she does running a football Club. And Lowe does? You are talking out of your posterior edifice. There are many facets involved in running a football club. One involves being able to run a successful business from a financial perspective. Lowe is supposed to have the right qualifications for that side, reading the bottom figure on a balance sheet is what that involves, although he has even made mistake there too. The other aspect of running a club involves the relationship between the board, the manager, players and the fans. Lowe has failed dismally in that respect, Lowe having presided over a club record number of appointments and firings, we are heading towards the club's second relegation under his control, whilst alienating the vast majority of the fan base at the same time. From the perspective of her realtionship towards the fans, Mary Corbett could well be far more competant than Lowe. She and her family have a significant shareholding, more or less equal to that held by Lowe, so she has a perfect right to express her opinions. You have no idea what she is going to say, do you? So why be disparaging about it beforehand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weston Saint Posted 5 February, 2009 Share Posted 5 February, 2009 does anyone actually READ this..?Bet you did There are many views posted on here. Some are balanced and factual, some are bias but still contain interesting facts and some are pure fantasy. Nineteen Canteen is entitled to put his views, no matter how much they are slanted. There are many out there with a slant in the other direction. The trick to to read them and then form an opinion but first you need an open mind. Nineteen Canteen is firmly in the Lowe camp and very much anti Crouch. In fact I would interprete that the reason he is so much in the Lowe camp is because of his opinion of Crouch. One thing is sure, like most posters on here, he has a passion for Saints and wants what is best for the team. Nothing wrong with that. Personally I think Lowe is struggling to come to grips with the disasterous financial position which is still affecting the club badly. Crouch would have the same restraints but his heart might overrule his head and that would not help our finances one bit. As Mary Corbett is the subject of this thread, I have to say she remained very tight lipped when she was on the inside. OK collective responsibility and loyalty may have been a very acceptable reason but the financial failing have to be visited on her just as much. She remained quiet publically when she was part of the previous disaster, she should not use her powers now to speak out publically. The big disappointment for me was her and Crouch walking out of the AGM without using there democratic vote as shareholders to send a message. We can all rant from the sidelines but when you have the power of the vote, why not use it? Please do not take this is an anti Crouch or Corbett comment. It is purely an observation. I still have a lot of time for both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can all rant from the sidelines but when you have the power of the vote, why not use it? Please do not take this is an anti Crouch or Corbett comment. It is purely an observation. I still have a lot of time for both of them. Nineteen Canteen is without a doubt Sundance Beast, who was formerly Flashman at the charge. As you correctly surmise, under this alias and indeed both of those previous aliases he used to rant and rage about Crouch way beyond any reason, leading one to conclude that he had a personal vendetta against him. Everything he posts now must be seen against that background. He is not posting on grounds of balance, or because he believes that Lowe should only go when there is a viable alternative; he is compelled to post against any view that suggests that Crouch might do a better job than Lowe because of his personal hatred for Crouch.

Scummer Posted 5 February, 2009 Share Posted 5 February, 2009 As Mary Corbett is the subject of this thread, I have to say she remained very tight lipped when she was on the inside. OK collective responsibility and loyalty may have been a very acceptable reason but the financial failing have to be visited on her just as much. She remained quiet publically when she was part of the previous disaster, she should not use her powers now to speak out publically. Remember she was only on the puppet football club board though, I get the impression they had very little power and probably didn't have much say in the finances. The PLC board is the only one that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 5 February, 2009 Share Posted 5 February, 2009 (edited) Few do But they don't have to, do they? This is a forum for opinions, so perfectly reasonable for there to be a diverse spectrum. But it would be a mistake to lump together all those with one viewpoint and dismiss their opinions as being without balance just because they advocate one position and not another. That cuts both ways of course. One must accept that most have arrived at their judgement having already considered the arguments from both sides and made up their own minds where they stand. Even though there is a vast majority who favour one position over another, does not make that position the correct one, although it is at least indicative. However, when the vast majority of dissenters are the paying customers of a business, it matters not whether they are right or wrong. If they cease to support that business by not buying its products, the business will cease to exist. The business ignores its paying customers at its peril. That is the crux of the current state of affairs at the club. Edited 5 February, 2009 by Wes Tender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFC Forever Posted 5 February, 2009 Share Posted 5 February, 2009 I have got used to the probability of Division 1 football next season. After the march and then the second half against Norwich I foolishly allowed myself the glimmer of hope. Hope that just maybe we were going to survive this season and improve next. Didn't last very long did it. Whatever Mary Corbett has to say about our problems I feel the only way out is one forced on the club by us the fans. I could be wrong but I can't see her going on air to tell us how she is going to help remove the incapable at the helm. I hope that she can advise us that steps are being taken but won't be holding my breath. On the other hand if she is rallying the troops for a concerted attack then fine. But she has to reassure us that those taking up the baton will be able to change the direction the club is headed. We need to know who and how the rescuers are that will step in to rescue the club. Is she with Leon and if so who else? Does this person/group have any funds? Will the new tenant of the hotseat be able to prepare us for next season as it is probably to late for this one? Though we would pray for safety if at all possible for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
