	Rupert Lowe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rupert Lowe is the current Chairman of Southampton F.C., he has ruined a perfectly good football club and is an awful chirman.
		Lowe stood for election as the Referendum Party candidate for Cotswold to Parliament in the UK General Election, 1997.
		Rupert Lowe seemed to make the same mistake as he did with Stuart Gray employing a good coach Steve Wigley, who seemed to lack the steely will needed for a manager of any business.

	BBC SPORT \| Football \| My Club \| Southampton \| Rupert the Rare
		Lowe blamed a "constant stream of negative and unfair media coverage which has taken on a life of its own", but at no time did he attempt to strangle it at birth, on the basis that any comment would only add to the frenzy.
		Lowe pointed an accusing finger at the media, but in the end, that same finger was on the trigger of a gun, which may not have fired at Sturrock, but helped point him out of the door.
		Lowe's background is The City, where his CV is decorated with such names as Morgan Grenfell and Deutsche Bank and a spell on the board of the London International Futures Exchange.

	BBC SPORT \| Football \| My Club \| Southampton \| Rupert laid bare
		Lowe has been evangelical in his crusade to instil fresh, domestic talent into what he sees as the self-perpetuating jobs-for-the-boys carousel of clubs appointing from the managerial field of usual suspects.
		Lowe's critics will point to the eight men in charge (including Wigley's short initial spell as caretaker manager) in his eight-year reign as the reason for Saints decline and current problems.
		Lowe was keen to recall Hoddle to the mast, but protests from fans sore at the manner of his exit, swayed a wavering board.

	Guardian Unlimited Football \| News \| Interview: Rupert Lowe
		Lowe was heading up the consortium financing the development and, when it became clear that the club was in serious danger of folding before the first sod of earth was turned, he reluctantly took over the chairmanship of the entire operation.
		Thus speaks the money man. Rupert Lowe's purpose is to act as the straight man in the partnership with his manager Gordon Strachan.
		It is odd then, after we have finished the interview and he gives me a guided tour of the stadium he built (complete with the wonderful collection of photos he commissioned of the last day at The Dell) that he balks at the idea of being photographed in front of the Southampton honours board.

		It's sick, and, as Lowe says, it 'needs to be remedied by the football establishment as a matter of urgency before the academy system is discredited'.
		Lowe says, 'Criticism is part of the package of being a chairman' - a phrase that casts fans as hysterical know-nothings.
		If Rupert Lowe got football, got the proles who pay him to watch it, got the reasons why he's unpopular, he wouldn't be in the hole he's in now.

	The Observer \| Sport \| Pat Symes: Southampton's ambitious chairman is a man you cross at your peril
		Lowe, 46, watched his first football match only six months before his Bristol-based Secure Retirement company bought out Southampton FC in January 1997 in a reverse takeover, whereby a smaller company buys a bigger one.
		Lowe once chided Gordon Strachan, Southampton's manager at the time, for not making the better use of corners since it was from corners that most goals were scored in hockey.
		Lowe's greatest and most vociferous enemy is Lawrie McMenemy, a Southampton legend once worshipped in his own right, but now reduced to two tickets in the main stand per match as ex gratia reward for leading the club to second place in the old First Division and two Wembley cup finals.

	Sport \| Bold and boastful knight clings to his dream of further glory
		Lowe is the man who brought Woodward to Southampton last year and whose back a number of factions at the club now wish to see, including a large section of fans, who have taken to waving 'Duck off, Rupert' placards.
		This is a reference to the dead duck sent to Lowe last Christmas by the Portsmouth chairman, Milan Mandaric, because his Southampton counterpart was reportedly away duck shooting rather than dealing with the events that saw Harry Redknapp go back to manage Pompey.
		If Lowe does walk away from Southampton in the near future and, as a result, Woodward finds himself out of a job, his fate is unlikely to generate vast outpourings of sympathy.

		Lowe has indeed done well but someone is responsible for the present tactic of the full backs humping high diagonal balls to strikers who cannot hold the ball up.
		If Rupert Lowe had pledged his support for the manager whom he described as the right man for the job five months ago, it would have given Sturrock a chance to do a good job.
		Ruperts system of not spending out on bigger profile players is halting the teams progress and should not be tolerated by the supporters of the club.

	ESPN.com Soccernet England: News - Richards clears the air with Saints chairman Lowe
		Now Lowe has emphasised Richards' commitment to the St Mary's Stadium club and snubbed reports that he was ready to offload the defender to Spurs for £8million.
		Lowe hinted this morning, just hours before the meeting, that he has slapped a huge price tag on Richards' head and that is what stopped Spurs boss Glenn Hoddle from increasing his original offer.
		Lowe was furious when Hoddle left The Dell to take over as the north London club's boss in April and, when the ex-Southampton manager launched last month's transfer raid for the club's star player, Lowe scoffed at the £4million bid, claiming it was 'unrealistic'.

		Lowe's position is in serious jeopardy with investors Michael Wilde and Leon Crouch buying up thousands of shares in Southampton, who were relegated from the Premiership last year and have struggled in the Championship since.
		But it is the chairman who has been the chief target of supporter anger as Saints lost manager Harry Redknapp to rivals Portsmouth, and sold a chunk of their senior squad as the team's performances sank.
		Lowe has recently purchased another 100,000 shares to take his stake to 6.69 per cent.

		Lowe is clearly a desperate man and his match notes contained bulleted points on his alleged values from his Chairmanship.
		Lowe is clearly clutching at straws and fails to mention the avalanche of failures he has resided over which lead to our relegation last season and a laughing stock in football fans eyes around the country.

	theuglyinside.com - Story
		At the start of this season many peple blamed Rupert Lowe for relegation completely and whilst Lowe had to shoulder a certain amount of the blame, the fact was that fingers werent pointed at Harry Redknapp until it was much too late.
		Ironically for Lowe, the fans failure to blame Harry was perhaps the very thing that left him unable to sack Redknapp and appoint a new man to start a re building job back in the summer, with the outcome that means that we are left foundering at present.
		Lowe will probably try and brave things out, perhaps his own ego wont allow him to accept failure and he truly believes that he can turn things round, but the fans dont trust him anymore and rightly or wrongly they believe him to be a liar.

		Lowe earlier revealed Saints are looking to strengthen their 'coaching resource' and place more emphasis on match-day preparation and analysis.
		Lowe, in his report, was keen to stress that despite the recent upheaval at St Mary’s - they dispensed with the services of manager Paul Sturrock after just two matches this season having only taken over from Gordon Strachan in March - Southampton was a well-run club.

		According to a written statement released by Lowe, Redknapp had walked out on his contract on Friday night after Lowe had refused Portsmouth permission to open talks with the manager because of their refusal to discuss compensation.

		Lowe and manager Harry Redknapp have repeatedly stressed their desire to keep hold of Crouch, who made his England debut during the recent tour of the USA, but it is thought an offer of around £7m (10.4m) would tempt the Saints to do business.

		Lowe insisted no decision had been made but did not discount the possibility of Hoddle taking over, insisting 'nothing is ruled in and nothing is ruled out'.
