RUPERT Lowe said it is vital Saints get back on a sustainable financial footing or else risk going the same way as Luton Town after revealing the extent of the club's cash woes.
Despite receiving more than £12m in transfer fees, the club's parent company, Southampton Leisure Holdings, is expected to report a pre-tax loss of about £5m for the year ending June 30.
The club is also expecting to announce a 35 per cent drop in income, to £14m - Pompey made nearly £17m last season from TV money and league position alone.

The audited accounts are due to be released in October, but Lowe said the club had chosen to provide an earlier indication to reduce the impact it could have on fortunes on the pitch.
Since returning to the club this summer, PLC chairman Lowe said he and football club chairman Michael Wilde had been forced into "difficult decisions" when it came to the club's finances.
He described the way the club had been run over the past year as "unsustainable" and said had it remained unchecked the future would have been very grim.
He pointed to Luton Town, who have now dropped into League Two and will start the season on minus 30 points after going into administration, as an example of what can happen.
"You can't speculate, but if you take an example of a club that has run out of road you only have to look as far as Luton," he said.

Good business plan Rupes tell everyone we are skint downsize (get cheep players and expect to loose 35% income)
Other businesses might attempt to give an impression of outward prosperity, who wants to join a club that has every possibility of turning out like Luton Town?
The only way is down down down. Detractors will say that these comments are negative. I say that the main source of negativity is coming from the PLC chairman.

dont answer that as you do!!1 hahahahah..
the only was is not down as we are showing...trying to do something about it..
he is only saying what 90% of fans think anyway...so much for wanting honesty etc from the club, as soon as it comes you **** and moan...
as for rupert going to staplewood..he is talking money matters about the product that is FOOTBALL...seeing as there is no matches on at SMS maybe it was easier to address the local press whilst the watched training etc..after all. football is the BUSINESS so what company chairman does NOT visit areas of the business..
what a sad, bitter bunch you are..
maybe you prefer to be told weekly that a takepover is "just around the corner" like we were last season..and before we know it, we ar deducted 30 points like luton and EVERYONE is on the transfer list, staplewood is sold and so is St Marys both leased back to us..
but then, some of you are so twisted that you would prefer this just to suit your ponts of view..

10 of the points that were deducted from Luton were for breaching regulations over payments to agents. Is this what Saints are trying to tell us is happening?

Delldays wrote: Stop going to prove a point? go and see what happens? Fair enough but there is a third option; Go and support the team but still have the ability and the freedom to ask a few questions. I am not Lowe supporter but nor do I hate him either. However the fact that there is no option at the moment (as you said) surely means that this is all the more reason to ask questions? Progress is made in all walks of life by people challenging opinions and ideas. It is not intended to be vitriolic but if we give up our right to ask questions then where does that leave us? Like I have said many times before, I remain a STH and will continue to support the team but I refuse to give up my right to have an opinion! I am not abusive if people don't agree with me and the least I expect is that courtesy in return. I am also confident that I speak for many when I say the above things!

mullingar wrote:Thedelldays please read my post again and don't put words in my mouth. I did not say that Saints were a great club nor did I say the club was destroyed. What I will say is that this club before Lowe's arrival had a great youth team, no debts, loyal and united fans, great international players and plenty of assets. We now have no great players, we are heavily in debt, we have no assets left to sell to help clear the debt, we have the bare bones of a team made up of older journeymen footballers, kids and crocks, we have a divided fan base with everyone at each others throats, and you had better believe it as things stand in all probability we will be relegated this season. So all I can say is well done Mr lowe and if his supporters want to continue supporting the incompetent management of the club then go ahead but do not expect me to agree with you.

"Going the same way as Luton" Why has Lowe this pearler from his usual 'Leeds' jibe !
We where going the same way as Luton in Lowes last season but where salvaged by selling Walcott. Even though Lowe said there was no financial pressure to sell !
Maybe if Rupert Lowe didnt personally relegate SFC then our financial problems wouldnt even be a problem.
I love it when naive fans talk about Lowes financial prudence. Show me ?
Despite relegation is £500,000 on CLive Woodward doing nothing prudent ?
How about the radio station that saw hundreds of thousands of pounds wasted on and was sold for £1 !
Lowe and Wilde have only returned to save their share price lets face it.
Not put in any money in either and old Lowe in recent months has personally spent £700,000 on buying Wh Ireland shares. Not a penny into SFC as per usual.
As for Wilde and his claim in 2007 that he would put in £2million. Where is it ?
Lowe and Wilde are all spin and lies and gullible fans should ignore the PR propaganda thats being dished out in the Daily Echo and SFC official website.
Btw if you didnt know Rupert Lowe is "Director of football." LOL

Optimist wrote:Optimist is right in what he says ...... except for one thing: the situation is dire for the club. An operating loss (before player sales) last year of some £13 million is horrific and totally unsustainable. It will be extremely difficult to eliminate that deficit by cost cutting alone. There will have to be more player sales to raise cash, particularly of the highly paid, underperforming 'oldies' brought in my Burley. The only other solution is to increase revenues through higher attendances at matches. That means the true fans have to support the club to the hilt by turning up at games and genuinely getting behind the players, coaches and (difficult for the financially ignorant, bigoted and/or class prejudiced amongst you)Lowe and the other board members. Otherwise you will simply not have a football club to support in a year or two's time. Make up your minds what you want.
This is not a Rupert Lowe PR post, but the reality is that if he (or another single minded "money person") had not come into the plc we would definitely be in adminstration by the start of the new season. Even my pet labrador can work out the numbers! The position is not as dire as people are painting it. We need to stop ther debt increasing, and live within a realistic budget, probably inflouenced by circa 15,000 attendances. We, the supporter in the street has a choice to support the team, stay away from St Mary's or of coure invest substatially in the plc. My choice continues to support my team. I will leave the persistent moaners and negative souls to continue to use this site to air there "end of the world" and "it is all Lowe's fault" propoaganda, but I will continue to support my team. For the record I am bascially a football person, and not a fan of Rupert Lowe from that perspective. I do however appreciate thate we need to get our housekeeping in order before we can recover and grow our football asperations. I remains SFC Forever.

Shareholder wrote:Hi there "shareholder" and "Facts". You could both be me as well because my views reflect yours totally.
Sometimes I despair. The quality of many of the posts on the issue of RL by so called fans is poor. I am an SFC shareholder and fan of 40 years plus. I have seen Chairman come and go. I am no apologist for Lowe. He has made mistakes and has always had a questionable taste in managers. He must take some of the blame for our relegation and the disastrous appointment of the Pompey Twitcher. However, he has always been a fiscally sound Chairman with a clear vision for the club. The youth policy that may yet save us is down to Lowe and Lowe alone. He has been the best Chairman we have had for a generation and I am glad he is back to sort out the mess that the previous, utterly appalling regime left us with. Rupert Lowe is our best bet if no investor comes in. If a large investor is found, they would do well to retain Lowe in his present or similar role. As far as all the ill-informed, vindictive and largely juvenile sniping is concerned, I know that Lowe is happy to take it if it deflects attention from the other management and staff. Remember, the current guarded optimism is mainly down to the vision and financial sense of one man - Rupert Lowe. I would suggest that the majority of you shut up and post again in 12 months with a more mature assessment - in both senses.

Shareholder wrote: Sometimes I despair. The quality of many of the posts on the issue of RL by so called fans is poor. I am an SFC shareholder and fan of 40 years plus. I have seen Chairman come and go. I am no apologist for Lowe. He has made mistakes and has always had a questionable taste in managers. He must take some of the blame for our relegation and the disastrous appointment of the Pompey Twitcher. However, he has always been a fiscally sound Chairman with a clear vision for the club. The youth policy that may yet save us is down to Lowe and Lowe alone. He has been the best Chairman we have had for a generation and I am glad he is back to sort out the mess that the previous, utterly appalling regime left us with. Rupert Lowe is our best bet if no investor comes in. If a large investor is found, they would do well to retain Lowe in his present or similar role. As far as all the ill-informed, vindictive and largely juvenile sniping is concerned, I know that Lowe is happy to take it if it deflects attention from the other management and staff. Remember, the current guarded optimism is mainly down to the vision and financial sense of one man - Rupert Lowe. I would suggest that the majority of you shut up and post again in 12 months with a more mature assessment - in both senses.Hi there \"shareholder\" and \"Facts\". You could both be me as well because my views reflect yours totally. I\'ve asked on this site before about the illusory promises made in the past about some rich guys putting money into the Club. Sadly, I\'ve found myself believing nearly all thesse stories (I know, I know sad or what). Do either of you have any better information on whether there has ever been a deadly serious bids for the Club? I don\'t live in the area anymore and its not so easy to keep in touch and follow the news as opposed to semi-nonsense gossips on sites like this one.

Graham wrote:Sadly Graham i think you may be right. The only way the club will survive is if the fans and players come together. Unfortunatley a lot of the posts on this site seem to indicate that with Lowe at the club many fans will not rally behind the club leaving us at impasse. I do not want Rupert Lowe within a hundred miles of the club but most importantley i still want a club. To those who feel that there is no alternative to Lowe I agree, however what i will never understand about Lowe is why he spent £500,000 on Clive Woodwood rather than bringing a professional salaried manager in to deal with the Plc's affairs following relegation? After all if he had the clubs best intrest at heart this would have been the best option and would have released RL to be a figurehead for the club which is what he has allways wanted. The biggest worry is that if the club cannot affoard to meet is outgoing the board may be left with no alternative but to start the process of asset stripping. So unwittingly perhaps many people are not so far removed from an accurate statement as is claimed. Early administration will leave the club with a heavy points deduction from the league but all an administrator can do is strip assets from the club in order to make it a more attractive investment oppotunity, or in the event of frustraition wind the club up as a going concern. The point to that statement is if the club goes into administration and becomes an easier prospective takeover with as many of our assets remaining as possible then there is more chance of attracting investment than if it goes in at a later date with fewer assets and fewer rich people left in the world.

My opinion (and I'm entitled to it)is that he has declared this picture of doom to show how much his tactics will work over the coming season. There will be regular lines of this ilk, spun to his advantge, at regular intervals. It will be interesting to see how Lowe takes his interest in driving down costs to his own financial package. Has he declared his current salary in public yet? Does he still get the private pension, equivalent to 10% of his salary, paid by the club?

I can see what lowe did do to us...2-3 years of madness after the cup final.. you talk as if he has been given a second chance!!! simple fact, he has not, IF Leon Crouch was up to the task of running the club (i wish he was) then lowe would not be here pure and simple...crouch fed us weekly snippets of takeovers around the corner when the harsh reality that was not the case and the club were losing money like never before.. people CRIED for honesty from the club. WELL HERE IT IS!!! and then people moan!!!!! I dont support lowe..not at all I SUPPORT THE TEAM..but with lowe, what else is there right now..I know, you know, he knows and we all know that ANY REAL SERIOUS takeover offer will have the backing of 99% of the fan base and that serious offer will have to be taken seriously (seeing as wilde and lowe dont own 50% of the company)...UNTIL THEN what else do we do..?? Stop going to prove a point? go and see what happens? I go for the latter as I support the club and am able to watch the game and not the directors box... fans making a point has done more damage that good in recent years and the more fans kick up and moan (after recent history) will probably strengthen Lowes position even more....I happily admit I got it wrong last time in \"lowe and for anyone\" attitude but so many WONT...IF it was all done right two years ago we would not be here like this right now... moaning and calling lowe a **** will not achieve anything..which is sadly lost on ,ost of the morons who post on here.. lets just support the young team and hope we have a decent season..eh?

"Incompetent failed chairman who relegated SFC after near on 30years of top flight football." 10 of which were under Lowe, or did you forget that? Or are you too f^cking witless? "In the past Lowe spent £5million on a crocked Delgado". It was £3.5m, and injuries happen. He passed a medical, so couldn't be helped. Or is it Lowe's fault that the medical didn't pick it up? Probably! He made a lot worse decisions, notably employing Harry Redknapp. What did you think of that? You were probably one of the morons singing his name because he's a "proper football person", not the useless corrupt self-serving toad that he is. One man got us relegated.

I would like to ask something though;
How do you suppose we will build on our squad next year given the rate at which we are loosing funds?
It's not a critisism I am genuenly curious as to how fans think we will do beyond this season if the great Lowe experiment fails?

Aren't you ashamed? I'd rather be in League 2 than be owned by Gaydemak.How utterly stupid you must be. If, as you claim, Alexandre Gaydamak is an International criminal, on the run from Interpol, can you please explain how he is able to enter England and France, where he has homes, and conduct business in the United States and other countries that are members of Interpol, and yet he has not been arrested. If there were an Olympic event in stupidity, you would be Britain's entry, and favourite to win the gold medal.

The fact it was his incompetent running of the club (in the form of penny pinching and not investing enough in the sqaud) that got us here in the first place doesn't register with the smug g!t.
Wilde backed his man financially to try and spend his way out of it, if Burley wasn't such a fool we may have done it.
