Lowe set to return today
7:25am Wednesday 14th May 2008
CONTROVERSIAL former Saints chairman Rupert Lowe is set to seal his comeback to St Mary's today.
Lowe, pictured, and Michael Wilde, another former chairman who ousted Lowe from power two years ago, were today expected to hear news that Leon Crouch, Keith Wiseman and Patrick Trant had joined chief executive Lee Hoos in resigning from the board.
The current board has hung on in the hope of bringing much-needed investment into the club but if they do step down the EGM set for Friday will be scrapped and Lowe and Wilde will get their wish to regain power at Saints.

Joy of joys, Wupert is coming back. Presumably back to bleed us dry just a little more. Lets hope the 28000 of us who stood up and sang for him to go, left an impression. Are you returning with a bit of passion for our club Wupert, or is it still just about you, your ego and lining yours, and your mates pockets?

Lol @ fans using the return of Rupert Lowe for never going to a Saints game again.
You aren't real fans, you just dislike Lowe and find it as the perfect excuse not to go anymore, probably because you can't afford it.
I don't know about anyone else, but I go to watch my team - Southampton FC, because I like football and it's a laugh with my friends... I don't go to care what is going on behind the scenes and moan about boardroom politics.
Losers.

If this sad and sorry situation can bring stability to the club, then some good will have come from it.
Somehow I think that we are still in for an uncertain future, with many more takeover stories and boardroom bust ups in the pipeline.
Oh happy days.

The comments of those posting here today is a disgrace - he is coming back, deal with it. I am sure that the team will be really happy when your demonstrations at the stadium next season provide a nice, encouraging atmosphere (!). Nothing like supporting the team eh?
Nothing you say or do in the stadium will force him out -the simple fact is he needs to be allowed to sit down and get investment in. The only way he will leave is when he has been bought out by a wealthy individual or fund.
Accept that it has happened, concentrate on the team and offer something constructive or shut up.
Kind regards, and joy of the day.

I believe all Saints Supporters knew R L was hiding in the closet waiting for the right moment and sadly it seems that the Consortium was just paper talk, obviously R L was the obstacle when others tried to buy the Club so if it's fact he's back I hope he has learnt that Football is not only about money but importantly about good business and success. Nigel Pearson is the first that should be told if he's not wanted because I'm sure he will be a success with his next team, let's hope he's given the chance with Saints, all the Players resepct him and say he has the qualities to succeed at Southampton, Glen Hoddle had his chance and blew it, big name ex Players don't neccessary make top Managers, Alex Ferguson wasn't a big name and the rest is History, last season is history what we all want is Saints to be automatic promotion next season

If he learns from his mistakes he is the best man for the job. Most of the adolescents posting on here still seem to think that there are all these billionaires out there who just want to "give" - sorry "invest" millions of pounds in the squad but they are put off by Lowe. That's so naiive it's kind of cute in its innocence.

Lowes back,so what. Wear your shirt, go to the game and support your team.
Boycotting the stadium will help nobody, as will protests during matches. Just remember the atmosphere we fans created at the last game,a season of that kind of support and this team IS good enough to be in the top 6 comfortably. We played Bristol City off the park and they could well be a premiership team in 2 weeks time. COYR.

The thing about Rupert Lowe is that he set the structure of the plc up specifically to make it difficult for some individual or group to take over the football club. He wants to run that plc as a nice little profit making business developing academy players and then selling them on and reinvesting back into the academy rather than splashing out money on big money transfers or huge salaries. Now there is some sense in that approach and it all went pear-shaped before because relegation was not part of the business plan. Unfortunately Rupert made some bad managerial appointments and gambled on the fitness of Michael Svensson - neither paid off and the rest is history. Perhaps if he had not had ultimate power and the roles of Chief Exec and Chairman had been split then things may have been different. The fact is that he's coming back so maybe we need to wait and see what his plans are before jumping to too many negative conclusions - if he keeps NP as manager rather than bringing in Clive Woodward again things may not be too bad after all??

Glad to see him back! I genuinely think he's got more to offer than the pathetic bunch that have been trying to run the club in the two years since he's been away. Fans need to realise **** happens, clubs get relegated and Chairman make mistakes but they should not take full responsibility. Players, coaches and fans have all contributed to our recent slump. I think RL will help turn us around and get us back to challenging for promotion within the next couple of years.

WAKE UP PEOPLE,THE FAILED ONE IS MOTIVATED BY POUNDS SHILLINGS AND PENCES.

Football mad other half says to me the other day "you'll be pleased to know that there is only one more game on next Wednesday, then football is finished for the season". I says back "Yippeeeeee, no more footie on TV in the evenings making the schedulers change Emmerdale and Corrie times etc. Lovely jubbly. No more footie until the winter then?" He says, "well, except for the Euro wotsit all through June". The only plus point on this is at least the football doesn't clash with Big Brother.......Love you ALL! Even Denzil wherever he is today.

What a bunch of morons that post on this site!!
Are you skates in disguise?!
Ok, so you are all saying stay away from St. Mary's. Where's the logic in that? Majority of income to the club comes from ticket sales so if people don't buy tickets then the club will suffer financially thus will be forced to sell players and not replace them and in turn the slump will continue, relegation and administration will follow and the club will die! Who's fault will that be? It won't be the board's, the manager's or the player's it will be the bunch of small minded, moronic 'fans' who decided to stay away because they have a bee in their bonnet about the board of the company!
Grow up, get a grip and support the saints regardless!!
Mr. Lowe & Mr. Wilde, please give Nigel your full support today so he can start building for next season!!
COYR!!!

Under Lowe's leadership, this club brought you the marketing slogan, "YOUR TEAM, YOUR WORLD, YOUR ADVENTURE"
But he revealed his true colours with, "THE POPULARIST OPINION IS USUALLY WRONG AND THE OPINION OF THE CROWD IS ALWAYS WRONG".
Rupert Lowe has absolutely no respect for the supporters, he will p*ss on your back, then tell you it is raining!
I am sick of football fans unwavering loyalty being taken advantage of by rich directors and even richer footballers - neither of whom sho us any loyalty.
Loyalty should be a two-way thing, but I never saw any from Lowe. He thinks we are fools, not fit to question him.
A message for the fans wearing rose-tinted glasses, talking of loyalty, love of the club, etc... - Lowe thinks you are fools - and by pulling on your heart-stings, that is why he and people like him have their wealth and what do we have for our support? Not even respect.

Admittedly, Lowe is a plank, but he's only coming back to ensure we do not suffer another ridiculous season and relegation battle towards League One again. Something the previous board, not meaning to, got us into.
Even if it's just to keep the value of his tiny percentage of shares up.
And just because he's coming back does not indicate we will not be taken over soon. He must still be up for selling his shares for the right price. Sooner rather than later please.

however its all too late now - the Vampire is back and he will willingly suck the life out of southampton. every person who spends even ONE penny at St Mary's from now on is just helping Lowe stay there.
I will only believe that Rupert Lowe is good for this club when its at the top of the Premiership and we've won the FA cup. (european cups will do fine though)

I don't go to care what is going on behind the scenes and moan about boardroom politics. Losers.
If you cared about the club, then you would boycott. Continue to go and the club will die anyway.
You are blinkered to think, 'Lets support the Team'. Wake up this team is dying. Its on Death row. Act now , boycott and then we just might get our club back.

Glad to see him back! I genuinely think he's got more to offer than the pathetic bunch that have been trying to run the club in the two years since he's been away. Fans need to realise **** happens, clubs get relegated and Chairman make mistakes but they should not take full responsibility. Players, coaches and fans have all contributed to our recent slump. I think RL will help turn us around and get us back to challenging for promotion within the next couple of years.
Crouch has had 6 months!!
The sheer fact that Lowe comming back is splitting the fans should be enough to keep him away!!
