I understood Nigel was on a one year rolling contract and therefore has 365 days until he is "out of contract".
Tomorrow he will still have 365 days to go and so on.
This is the same as the contract Sir Alex Ferguson is on.
Why is it being reported he is out of contract in the summer????

They know full well what the financial side of things are like as they created it.

Get your cheque book out Rupert and sign Nigel up long-term! And while you're at it, see if that loser Hoddle is interested in a job sweeping the stands or manning the car park.

This is for Adam Leitch, why do you insist on saying that Pearson is out of contract in the summer when even the Echo reported at the time that he had a rolling contract, Saints were even reporting it was a one year rolling conract? The standard of "reporting" at the Echo just keeps getting worse.

I've just checked the SFC site and it makes no mention of the duration of his contract - just that it was a rolling one.
The article is linked to from the Wikipedia entry on Pearson, if you want to double check it.

Oh dear, again we have reached the bottom of the pit in terms of "tribal posts". If you are a genuine Pompey Supporter, although I suspect not as you would not be visiting this site, then enjoy your day. If you are geniune Saints, then hope and pray that our future is going to get better soon. I passionatley hope that messrs Lowe and Wilde do the obvious and decent thing and get Nigel Pearson's future sorted out as No 1 priority. I can then name at least 6 senior players who should be removed from the wage bill immediately. With the nucleous of a decent squad, some very good youngsters coming through and then a couple of decent signings - Richard Wright and Chris Perry would do for starters, who knows we might just start moving in the right direction. I am now totally fed up with the board politics and back stabbing and just want my team to be well managed and move forward. If Pompey fans can emulate the atmosphere that we Saints supporters created in 2003, then "fair play" and respect! Saints forever.

All it means is that they are smoothing the way for "regretably" having to dispense with Pearson's services next week

The last period for which there are financial statements available was 6 months ending Dec 2007, when those in charge were Hone and Dulieu, you know Wilde's buddies. The new Board is responsible for the financial mess, and have a pretty good idea of its extent. If they don't then they are bigger fools than I thought, if thats possible.

It's what is not being said that concerns me. Surely if Bonnie and Clyde had any intention of keeping NP on they would have come in and said what a good job he is doing and that they want to keep him. The fact that they haven't speaks volumes to me. My guess is that to save money they will bring back Dodd and Gorman as the cheap option. As for this tripe about the majority of shareholders wanting them back, stop the spin and stop treating us fans as idiots. There are thousands more fans than shareholders. The shareholders want them back for one reason, their own pockets. I'm a fan, I don't want them back. I will never support this board, but I will continue to support the red and white shirts on the pitch. COYR

We had some very poor decisions made. I counted 11 loan players - many of which hardley played.
All the fans knew at the start of the season that we needed defenders. What did we do? Bring in midfielders before more injuries made clear the problems and more emergency loans.
Decisions such as:
Bennett - played a couple of times then dropped. When we found out he could actually play (if alongside a real defender) we dropped him again and then sent him back to Reading.
O'halloran - Burley promised O'Niell he would get games, then played Wright at left back instead. That's the last time O'Niell will ever loan us a player.
Hammill - barely played all season even though the fans all saw he was one of the few talented players. Plus he put on a couple of stone and lost fitness. Probably the last time Liverpool ever loan us a player.
Mettomo? What was that all about?
Dailly - played out of position when we had no fit defenders.
Plus player salaries being increased despite the clear lack of any increase in ability or performance. And director salaries increased above the level when we were in the premiership.
Yes, Burley is to blame for much of that, but don't forget the 'football' board, who oversaw Burley and player decisions. Who was on that board all year?
Crouch, McMenemy and Corbett. What were they actually doing all that time. That board cost money and gave nothing in return.
No, you cannot blame Lowe for the decisions and management for the last 2 years.
Yes, Crouch was only Plc Chairman for 5 months, but was always on the football board and had also been on the Plc board.

As I have said before, NP deserves and has earned a crack at a full season in charge. As rational said previously about Burley and his odd/stupid selection decisions they cost us many points last season. Pearson at least had the common sense to play players in their natural positions and got us some good quality loanees when the trapdoor was looming. NP must stay.

But selling our best players and replacing with lesser quality make Lowe an evil, self serving despot.
When Crouch does it he's only doing his best to balance the books.
As for Lowe spending money on players - what about Crouch, Phillips, Mark Hughes, Niemi, and many more?
Having said that, you make a great point about working together for the club.
As Sailor Sam often tells us, united we are strong. The attitude of many fans towards decision makers is the most likely thing to scare off anyone who might be tempted to take over.

NP is on a rolling contract so there is nothing to discuss unless one side or the other want to end it.NP has said he wants to stay so it must be assumed the new board want him out.More uncertaincy.Any bets on Coppel as next boss?

Of course they do not know all the background information relating to decisions so whingeing will commence if for instance it is decided that Nigel Pearson will not be our manager.
That decision if it happens will be made good reasons.
So we should accept the decisions of the board in most cases but of course not in all cases.
We of course have our owm thoughts on the decisions and can discuus them here.

In response to Billy two baps. Player, coach and youth devleopment manager for about 20 years and now a season ticket holder at Saints for about the same period. So rest assured I do understand the tribal implications of football. I also respect that rugby supporters have the same passion for their sport and team, but do not need to resort to verbal and physical abuse. My previous post was in reference to those of a certain Crew657's, with moronic contents. By the way, although Saints are my team I am off to Wembley tomorrow to watch the conference play off final - oh dear yet another game under my (not so fat) belt!! Respect.

With the benefit of hindsight Lowe did make some mistakes in his ten year tenure. Maybe, just maybe, he has learnt from them. Find me someone who would make exactly the same decisions again if they could turn the clock back ten years.
Time and again EVERY thing that has gone wrong at the club gets blamed on one man, one member of a commitee of board members, yet every positive event had nothing to do with him.
Like someone said above when a player was sold whilst Lowe was here it was because he was a greedy money grabber who was selling off the family silver, yet when others did it, it was to balance the books. Which incidentally were balanced before all the money went on players who were sure to get us back into the Prem.(That went well didn't it?)

[/quote] Nick what you forget is that Lowe always said "we are not a selling club" and would often say "we don't need to sell" yet he would then engineer a situation where he could sell someone. His favourite "trick" was to have an approach for a player, who was still on a long term contract, and instead of repeating the above comments and telling the approaching club to s*d off he would ask the player if he wished to talk to the other club. This then made the player think "I'm not wanted here" so he would have talks with the other club. Before you knew it Lowe was in the press saying "He wants to talk to the other club and we can't make him stay if he doesn't want to", which was complete and utter tripe because as already stated, the guys were usually under contract, so he could easily have invoked that and said "you stay here". So IMO he sold to generate money for share holders and not to balance the books. With regards to the others selling to balance the books? Yes they did have to, as we now ARE a selling club, courtesy of the relegation under Lowe's chairmanship.

Surely Beattie and Bridge were England players and wanted to earn more money.
Walcott was the same who else was sold when we were in the Premiership.

Yet another Lowe hater who uses pure speculation to suit their argument.
I have heard that Lowe wanted to sign Crouch and Strachan said he would leave he signed him, I also heard Lowe wanted to sack Beattie on the spot after one of his little episodes (which would have forfeited any transfer fees) but Strachan persuaded him to let him stay, but as I didn't hear them directly I have chosen to ignore them. But if there is any truth in either of these then the Lowe rumours about Lowe being a mony-grabber who knows nothing about football may look very unfounded.

Turn coat Wilde and Lowe, invest in the team! Do not dismantle it! That is not the way forward and up.
Stop looking for excuse, and find a way to bridge the finacial gap. This is your job, and you are failing us with your clever negative talk.
SHOW SOME PASSION FOR SOUTHAMPTON FC!!!!!!!

All recent managers, from Sturrock onwards, have been on yearly rolling contracts. Easy opt out for both parties really.
Would be silly to lose Pearson. Built up good momentum at the end. Hopefully he's canny enough to persuade Chris Perry to stay on (Lucketti too old and too tied to the north). True, can't see Richard Wright staying but maybe this is the last chance for Bart to prove his as good as we initially thought he was.
Like the country in general we're going to have to tighten our belts next season but look at Cardiff. They'll be losing Ledley and Ramsey by June so they won't be challenging. Watford are in free fall, and the relegated clubs (possibly excepting Birmingham) have no chance.
Chin up Saints, roll on August.

Let nigel rebuild a new one it doesnt have to cost the earth in this league he's already shown that he has the ability with the few loan signings he made this year(with the exception of pericard) but then again even sir alex doesnt get them all right.

The club has only been relegated from the Premiership not destroyed and through bad finacial management is a perilous situation.
I am more confident that Lowe will make the situation better than Hone Wilde and Crouch the latter two pandering to populist view.

What a chance idiot Lowe missed by not making his first announcement to the fans that Nigel Pearson will continue as manager for SFC for the foreseeable future.
But no-he has to play his usual financial mind games to make everyone feel insecure.
NP is most likely the lowest paid manager in the championship league-so you just know a team like Leicester[Milan et el] could come in for
him.
NP appears to have the respect of both players and experienced football people in the game.
He deserves the chance-why change things for changes sake?

There are also lots of rumours which according to lots of posters are the truth.
Another fact in the last ten years Crystal Palace have had two more managers than us and Hull City two less managers than us.
The average number of managers for Championship teams appears to be around six or seven compared with our nine.

By some distance NP is the best manager Southampton could hope for. He has an excellent pedigree as a player, as an FA coach, a commanding presence (would you mess with him?, respect at the game's highest level (ask Ferguson and Brooking what they think) and he is a really decent, straightforward chap (sadly somewhat unusual these days). Get behind him and see

Problem is the club seem more intent on setting up a training school for stewards and control the training of Portsmouth and other stewards than it does worry about what happens on the pitch. As for trading places with pfc stewards on larger matchdays, well... it's planned!
