from another website: There is a rumour which appeared on a Southampton messageboard which involves the dreaded Rupert Lowe and his sidekick Sir Clive making a move to take over Swindon Town FC.
Obviously Lowe will become chairman, but the real shock is that SCW will be their new manager!
This of course seems like nonsense until you look at the details. Rupert is just hanging on at Saints, it's looking more and more likely that he'll go. As for Clive, it's rumoured that he is qualified enough to manage a league 2 side.
Apparently, this move will take place in three weeks.

Of course, this rumour fits in really well with the investment from Bill Power

That was on the rivals a few week back Tim, he should be here by now I'd have thought!
Also on rivals there's a hint of a possible Ling a' ding ding for next season.

It's a cut & paste from the rivals post. Like this snippet though...
I have just heard that Swindon have put in for a transfer to another country.

 I thought that was good too... There's a fan on there called 'SaintSwindon' who has a season ticket at both clubs. Is he/she on here d'ya reckon? |

I'm starting a campaign for "being called Rupert" to be part of the criteria that gets you banned from being involved with football under the "fit and proper person" test

This rumour has been going round Southampton for a little while (I live near Southampton), but nothing seems substantiated. So I'm ignoiring it despite all the piss take from Saints supporting chums. Having read some of the QPR interviews as well, I now have no idea whether any of the rumours about Holloway or Lowe or even Ling will be any good. Confused.  |

I'd like to believe the Holoway one.
Ling hasn't done that great a job considering the backing he's had, Hearns will sack him if they fail to go up this year I reckon. That's if Hearns is still the chairman of L.O.F.C.

I haven't heard anything about this from any Saints fans. The Holloway one is more likely to be true, even though that's just rumour. Lowe and Sir Clive. Nah.

As quoted by a Saints fan, on their board: "Maybe its a coincidence but Swindon have a good youth set-up (eg Theo). " Good man  |

Actually, thinking about it. Would it be that bad? Lowe can't be any worse than Carson as a chairman and both have tons more of experience at running a club than our current lot. Yes Woodward was an egg chasing coach but he must have been doing something right to get England to win the World Cup.
