SaintRobbie Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 So if Wotte manages somehow to get us safe then he would have done better than pearson? Im guessing a few people on here wont like that idea at all. lol If Wotte does that he will be elevated to Saints legend status. But he won't.
jonah Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 I'll give him a year and then judge... That's fair isn't it? Certainly fairer than damning him before he's taken his first game. If he can do for us what Pearson has done at Leicester [and we will be in the same league they were], then I'll happily agree with you. Hopefully we won't get to find that out.
Weston Super Saint Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 Hopefully we won't get to find that out. Serious question. Do you HONESTLY think we will not only score the same points as our rivals for the rest of the season, but will outperform them to the tune of 6 points?
saintjay77 Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 If Wotte does that he will be elevated to Saints legend status. But he won't. Although I think it is possible I dont hold out much hope. Will be elated if he does though.
jonah Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 Do you HONESTLY think we will not only score the same points as our rivals for the rest of the season, but will outperform them to the tune of 6 points? ...with 1 game in hand. Come on, you've been through the 90s where we continually scraped to survival, and there is enough in this team to put a few results together. The key, as always, is to win the 6 pointers - we still have to play Watford, Charlton, Forest and Derby. In our favour we have a decent run-in where we could get 10 points from the last 4 games... but you certainly get nothing if you don't try and each time we scrape a win another team down the bottom will feel the pressure. There's always one team in freefall (apart from us ;-)), and 5 or 6 wins from 14 would probably be enough. Have you given up then?

Gingeletiss Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 You are nothing but a constant moaning and very boring little dinlo. Everything you post has a negative vibe to it and an association to anything but Lowe. Lol......you should re-read some of your posts, you are everything you say about others, but with an opposite view, add to that, you are a class 1 wind up merchant. Suggest you stay up north, as the good folk of Salisbury, will not take kindly to your nasty demeaner.......
hypochondriac Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 I assume Preston will pin this quote up on their dressing room wall tomorrow? Saturday's opponents sit fourth in the table, but having already beaten them once this season, Wotte is confident that his side can turn in a repeat performance. "They are in the top four which I respect Preston for but I have seen two of their games against Norwich and Reading and I cannot be impressed by their quality" http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/articles/article.php?page_id=11390 He wasn't impressed by anyone's quality so far this season!
um pahars Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 (edited) . Yes, their directors may have put in some of their own cash but nothing like the amount that could make a difference in today's football world. . Their directors recently put in something like £14,000,000+ which I imagine brings with it a certain degree of respect and gratitude. Now if Lowe, Wilde and/or Crouch were to put that sort of money into the Club, then I'd imagine we would look on them in a slightly more positive light. Edited 20 February, 2009 by um pahars
harwellsaint Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 He really is a dislikeable chap..... http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4140876.Wotte_calls_on_support_of__true__Saints_fans/ new song for sat ARE YOU F****** RUPERT LOWE?
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 He really is a dislikeable chap..... http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/4140876.Wotte_calls_on_support_of__true__Saints_fans/ He is a jerk...a clueless one to boot.... I have absolutley no time for the man after all his digs at fans and his crap management...leave you fool The sooner he is gone the better along with his puppet master..
spain saint Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 If this edited quote were at the top of the page this thread would then be in perspective. Those criticising Wotte for saying 'some young kids' refer to the organiser as 'lad' etc...is there a difference as he is not talking in his native tounge. Please stop this rubbish about not speaking in his "native tongue" bull****! A vast majority of Dutch people speak English from a very young age, Wotte speaks great English! If you think that he gets mixed up somehow you should read some of his comments that include some very English phrases.(by that I mean phrases that are perticular to us) If you are not comfortable with a language then you wouldn't use them, you would stick to the main bulk of the language. Using the language arguement is laughable! By the way my feelings on the comments are that they are misguided and poorly timed and Darren W sumd it up with an example of what could of been said.
spain saint Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 What is the relevance of young Connor's age? Well let me see. When my 4 year old tells me she's a fairy and can fly I laugh at her beautiful naivety, ruffle her hair and tell her to go wash her hands before she has her tea. When young Connor says he's going to hold a march in protest at someone called a "CEO" who runs something called a "PLC", I expect his mother to call him a scamp, ruffle his hair and tell him to go wash his hands thoroughly with soap before he comes down from his bedroom for tea. What I don't expect is for grown ups to start jumping out of windows because they believe my daughter and think they are fairies. Or to march behind a spotty teenager who thinks an Open Offer costs a bag of chips and 2 fish fingers. What right have you got to be condescending towards someone that is actually doing something for a club he loves? Get down off your high horse and think what have you ever done for SFC apart from sit behind a computer and slag off a 16 year old lad! Does it make you feel big to write off someone because they are only 16? You really have reached new depths of constant drivel!

spain saint Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 (edited) but Alpine you know it's true. I doubt any of the grown men would march behind a spotty kid other than at our quaint club. He is doing what he feels is right and so good luck to him, but it comes to something when the clubs finest have to rely on a 16year old lad.As i put on a different post, I recall when i was at school all the Wolfie Smiths who were going to change the world, now I see them driving in gas guzzlers and paying their staff the bare minimum.Lol I expected better from you Nick. I don't always agree with what you say but I respect you for your honest posts and maturity. However surely you cannot defend someone picking on and being downright condescending towards and 16 year old lad, when all he does is snipe from the comfort of his office! Edited 20 February, 2009 by spain saint
sadoldgit Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 It's not the age per se but the experience - life experience as well as education and knowledge. That's why we don't have 16 year olds running the country, or part-time union officials being elected during half term. Surely you react to a reasoned argument from someone with relevant life experiences whose opinion you can respect - a toddler could scribble "Gordon Brown Is Rubbish" on a piece of paper but I wouldn't march to Parliament behind him. I'm not saying you have to be a CEO to complain about a CEO, but I am saying that somebody who hasn't even left home, never had a job, was in nappies when the reverse takeover occured and can't have seen more than a few seasons of football is not in a position to draw any reasoned conclusions that result in organising a march in protest at the company, team manager and board members. It's ridiculous. Therefore it's just mob mentality, he's organising something he doesn't really understand, and others are following him into it because they like the message. But most importantly of all, there have to be better things to be doing when you're 16! Seriously. Come on, aren't there any girls you could meet up with instead of organising a demo about a PLC CEO?! Actually Mark, at 16 he should probably be looking to play right back for us!

If you read Jonah's futher comments they make perfect sense. Don't you think it is all a bit odd that the only people that the mob rally behind are children and jumped up shop stewards? Is that really the best we can do? Oh andWotte can be as disgreeable as he likes and can have the dodgiest hair in the world as long as he drags us out of this mess.

This young lad Connor has had the balls to take on something that he didnt start and carry it on, and has done well. No one is relying on a 16 yrd old at all! Forget his age, because to be honest that has **** all to do with it, if I had organised the march at an age of 37 would the abuse, insults still be coming? NO is my answer, people seem to be using his age as their main point and personally I think it quite sad because they cant throw anything else at him. For Wotte to sat "some young people" well thats pure ignorance just like our beloved Chairman!

At the end of the day what difference does the age make, I don't see any problem in a football manager wanting fans to use their energy supporting the team and getting behind the club. This only makes his job harder. If it makes his job harder it makes it harder for us to stay up.
SaintRobbie Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 Oh andWotte can be as disgreeable as he likes and can have the dodgiest hair in the world as long as he drags us out of this mess. and when he DOESNT?

Hear hear well said - I find some of the posts re this lad distasteful and immature, especially the ones that make references to his physical appearance. I am totally ashamed that mockers like Jonah and Nickh stoop that low. I suppose they are both perfect human specimens?
Gingeletiss Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 You don't want to pay to much attention to SOG, he's obviously had a phone call, to get his two pennyworth in. :roll:

Oh dear Duncan, you are trotting out the old you don't go to matches therefore your opinion is of no importance line again. Funny that. I go to more games than Alpine but I don't see you using that arguement against him. Here's an idea, why not try turning all of this negative energy into postive energy and getting behind the club 100% until the end of the season. If things are still rubbish then use all of your negative energy in the close season to try and affect change for next season.
sadoldgit Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 and when he DOESNT? Then I am sure you lot will have a field day tearing him apart.

Kids got guts and an attitude that I wished many so-called fans leaders had. Too much apathy and rolling over going on for me at the most important crossroads in the clubs history. SELL THE CLUB.
exit2 Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 I don't see any problem in a football manager wanting fans to use their energy supporting the team and getting behind the club. Again I keep hearing this frigging quote of getting behind the team! FFS The support has been superb this season
SaintRobbie Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 Then I am sure you lot will have a field day tearing him apart. and you?

Jonah may go on to post more comments to backtrack on what was said, but I replied as soon as I read the post and found the comments rather distastful! I then read on, and still don't think any of what I said is overreacting. By all means have a reasonable debate and disagree with other people, but to be so condeascending to a lad that has got off his arse and done something about it just makes your own beliefs totally invalid and makes one look a little bit silly! Especially when the original organiser of the protest was a lot older but had to stand down because of work issues, so the 16 yr old lad took over!
Gingeletiss Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 Hear hear well said - I find some of the posts re this lad distasteful and immature, especially the ones that make references to his physical appearance. I am totally ashamed that mockers like Jonah and Nickh stoop that low. I suppose they are both perfect human specimens? They obviously don't have facebook, because that's where it started. I posted this earlier, but it seems a few of the 'I'm a superb model of humanity' have failed to take note.....so here it is again. For the record, the original instigator of the protest was a lot older than 16, but had to take astep back due to his job, and young Conner stepped up to the plate.
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 Oh dear Duncan, you are trotting out the old you don't go to matches therefore your opinion is of no importance line again.

Let's not knock a lad because he is just 16 for Christs sake - he is not a child. He was asked to takeover and had the guts to do it and all people like Mark and Nickh can do is sneer and make references to his spots. Both have seriously gone down in my estimation - don't join them. Bloody hell, mate I KNOW you are better than that.

I was asked by the creator of the facebook group to lead and be a spokesperson for the demo/march. I declined the offer. I am 32 years old. I wish I had half the bottle of this 16 year old, who not only has organized the rally but has also spoke to lots of media people and arranged for them to film/report on the march.
David Strover Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 "They are in the top four which I respect Preston for but I have seen two of their games against Norwich and Reading and I cannot be impressed by their quality" I agree this is truly the mark of a monumentally idiotic manager/coach. How to inspire the opposition to ****ing thrash you at home! It wouldn't surprise me if Preston North End win 5-1 tomorrow! What a club we are!
um pahars Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 By all means have a reasonable debate and disagree with other people, but to be so condeascending to a lad that has got off his arse and done something about it just makes your own beliefs totally invalid and makes one look a little bit silly! I don't think much really needs to be said on this one. A few people have embarrassed themselves on this board today with their personal attacks on a 16 year old and as you quite rightly say it renders their own beliefs invalid and does indeed make them look rather foolish. Any average person with an ounce of common decency would be able to judge what is right and what is out of order on this thread. They've hung themselves today.

Thing is Duncan, if by marching it guaranteed that we stayed up and meaningful, postive changes were made within the club, Id' so go for it. Hell, I'd even join one and carry a placard. But all this and other marches do right now is to create further negativity around SFC which is the last the the club needs at the moment. I have no doubt the lad means well, but frankly I would rather see him yell himself horse at the game, that at least would go towards building a more postive atmosphere/vibe.
Tomobz Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 What is the deal with our club and really bad PR skills? Surely anyone in charge of a company with such influence to the community should be in touch with the communities feelings... This comment again just stinks. It just so ridiculous in so many ways and I cant understand why he would think it needs to be said. This club is a joke.
um pahars Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 Don't you think it is all a bit odd that the only people that the mob rally behind You don't post Jordan Orsini on that Saints List do you?? He was predicting a bloodbath, drunks fighting down the street, mini riots, swear words!!!!! and civil unrest LOL. Both of you couldn't have been further from the truth with a march attended by 1,000+ Saints fans of all ages and persuasion. It was probably the only time in a couple of years that I've felt a sense of pride, togetherness and spirit. It was also good to see that that spirit was transferred to the stands for the Swansea match. That's what makes Wotte's and many others posts ont he subject so ridiculous, in that it was feasible to protest with fervour and then support the team on the pitch with just as much passion.
Give it to Ron Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 I have no doubt the lad means well, but frankly I would rather see him yell himself horse at the game, that at least would go towards building a more postive atmosphere/vibe. How do you know he hasn't been doing that all season like the rest of us..I come home from most games with a sore throat and seen 1 win in 16. Its amazing that people like you keep pointing the finger at the fans and crowd trying to deflect the attention away from the real problems.

Its amazing that people like you keep pointing the finger at the fans and crowd trying to deflect the attention away from the real problems. He does, he stands at the back of the Northam, sings his heart out regardless of performance and wants everyone else to do the same during the game and protest before and after. Connor is as big of a saints fan as anyone I have met. People who are judging this guy are wrong and are also complete idiots for trying to judge the lad without meeting him. Take a look at yourselves before judging others.
Daren W Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 Oh dear Duncan, you are trotting out the old you don't go to matches therefore your opinion is of no importance line again. Funny that.

Bern, if you can't even be bothered to go to game how can you sit there and slag off a young lad who seems to have more guts and drive than you and several other posters, could ever muster? How can you slag young Connor off and then have the sheer nerve to ask people to show some positive energy??? Someone did and you sit in your armchair and slag him off! Unbelievable! If you choose to have a swipe at the lad don't get all prissy if someone asks questions of you....

SOG.....you know that you and I do not see the same world when we open our eyes each day..........but please try and understand what the majority of posters on here are saying.......the negativity you speak of, has been created by your hero, Mr Lowe.........but as I say, you fail to see this.

If you choose to have a swipe at the lad don't get all prissy if someone asks questions of you.... to be fair...there are a few influential fans/people connected with the club that have not done a great deal in recent weeks months with regards to getting lowe out (or trying to)... fair play to this lad but the fact a 16 year old is running this says alot of good about him and (imo) questions the "proactiveness" of more influential fans that could and maybe should in some eyes (not mine) do more
Gingeletiss Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 Then TDD, as I've suggested previously, get a committee together and be proactive.......

If I remember correctly, Connor did go into the ground as did a majority of the people who were on the march! Going to the match and cheering on the team and going on the march and protesting for a brighter future can coexist!
Thedelldays Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 Then TDD, as I've suggested previously, get a committee together and be proactive....... not my thing...but then I dont get all up tight over everything rupert says... there are plenty on here who are far more influential as fans who spend days on end getting wound up by rupert, say they want him gone and not do more than that... like I said, fair play to this lad and god luck to him...but it also says alot about those who are happy just to moan about lowe and do f-all about it
um pahars Posted 20 February, 2009 Posted 20 February, 2009 fair play to this lad but the fact a 16 year old is running this But I think the point is that no one is really running this. This is no clique of revolutionaries, instead he has cleverly latched on to the power of the internet and managed to kickstart it. This is now just a widespread cross section of Saints fans who are just coming together fairly spontaneously and not at all orchestrated and arranged in the sense of how many other protests are arranged. I don't think this lad has says he knows what all the problems are and I'm sure he doesn't have all the answers, but what he has done is managed to give us all a platform to get our feelings known. For the last march no one had any idea who was running it, I certainly didn't, I just knew it was a chance to get my protest noted that I was not happy with the way the Club was being run. Was I in tune with what Connor wanted, with what the old bloke we walked with wanted, who knows?? But I do know we shared a common live for our CLub and a belief that it is being run appallingly at the present moment. People aren't blindly following a 16 year old. This 16 year old has shown some balls and perseverence and he has managed to give us all a chance for us to air our grievances. If one or two wakners want to run him down then it says far more about them than it does about him, and I can honestly say I personally felt a real sense of spirit, unity and love for our Club on that last march, so i would like to thank him for at least engendering that spirit in me, something that everyone else connected to the Club has spectacularly failed to do so this season.
